Enemy Planning an Attack Through Coded Language
January 1, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
While we were worshiping the Lord, I began to hear something in the Spirit. And I want you to… Before we go into worship for a moment, I want you to join with me in prayer that the Lord, His will will be done. Sometimes He shows us things that we can stop in prayer. And sometimes He shows us things that we can pray that preparation is made. And I don’t know exactly how to explain it, except to say…
I’ll give you an example. Some years ago… What would it be now? Seven? Would it be seven years ago at Christmas time that I was going to sleep one night and I saw a beautiful little… In a vision, I saw a beautiful little blond headed girl, and I saw a man with a beard, long hair, rough looking fellow taking that little girl around the throat.
And I woke up, and there were people staying in my home, and I said, “I don’t know what this means, but I saw a beautiful little girl being taken.” And I prayed, of course, with all my heart that God would stop it. Very discouraging to find out just a day later that a little girl had been taken just like that. And we all are familiar with the Jon Bennet Ramsey case.
And I’ve asked the Lord many times, “Lord, why did You show me that if there was nothing I could do about it? If prayer wasn’t going to stop it then why did You show it to me?” And I can’t say that I have the answer yet, but in all of the media blitz that was accusing the family, I knew in my heart, because I had seen the man. Not his face, but I had seen his grizzly look, and I knew that it wasn’t the father. And so I was able to pray. I don’t understand why.
Sometimes we’ve prayed, and God has shown us things as a church and we believe they were stopped because of prayer. So we don’t understand these things. But I saw in the Spirit and began to hear in the Spirit tonight, all I know how to describe it is as secret communication. I knew that it was very secret communication and it was being transmitted in code.
I don’t want to sound too strange. But I couldn’t make it out. It was in some kind of coded language. And the Spirit of the Lord just made it real to me that while we’re here tonight worshiping the Lord, that somewhere in this world… And I guess that could be true anytime. But yet the Lord let me see and feel it tonight that very serious and dangerous communication was going on.
And as I was waiting to try to know what to say, I felt a real fear come over me, which I’m not used to that kind of a feeling. But a real fear. And I knew that it concerned terror. And I don’t mean just on a small scale, but something very, very serious. And I wanted just to ask you…
I know you’d think, “Well how could you come in and kill the praise like that?” But that’s the reason why we praise, so that heavens can be opened, so that if God wants to say something He can say it. And even though it may not be something encouraging that we want to hear, we want to hear it anyway because we want to be at our post of duty tonight. Hallelujah.
And you know for a long time, people who believe what we believe have kind of been on the outskirts of things as far as, you know, overlooked and kind of looked down on. But God spoke some time ago and He said, “I want to place you on the cutting edge of what I’m doing. And instead of you hearing about what I’m doing somewhere else, I’m going to do it among you, and other people are going to hear what I’m doing among you.”
So let’s just for a moment, agree right now. Because it may not be my son at risk, but somebody’s child is at risk, somebody’s loved one is in danger because of this. And you know, God’s able to get in the midst of that and scramble it. You know, I don’t know what to say other than that. But I know there’s enough of you that love me, and you’ll just let me be who I am and you’ll just pray right now. Hallelujah.
Wonderful Lord, we agree in this house tonight in the mighty Name of the Lord Jesus, Yeshua HaMeshiach. And we know that You don’t show us things or let us hear things in vain. But all things are for a reason.
And Lord, we agree as a body of believers tonight. Maybe we’re just a small group, but Lord, we agree tonight that Your will is going to be done. And Lord if at all possible we pray that You would stop this thing, that You would confuse the communication of the enemy and that You would stop the plotted attack, that You would expose, tear down the works of darkness and protect our interests and our loved ones around the world. Oh God.
You’ve given us these little things. And we’ve prayed as a body, and wake up the next morning and hear how You caused Israeli soldiers to find bombs, and how they were able to stop and thwart. One time You gave a vision concerning arms and weapons that were being smuggled. And the very next day You gave grace and wisdom, and a whole ship full of illegal arms was confiscated. And we believe it was because the saints of God prayed. So we give this to You.
It’s all we know to do. We surrender it to You, Lord. Oh, for whatever reason You brought it to our attention, we do all we know to do and that’s stand in the gap of intercession and call on You, Lord, for mercy.
I was just sensing then that the enemy has planned such an attack because so much of the emphasis on the world is in Asia right now. Because the whole world is looking to Asia to bring aid, and great plans are being made for relief work. And it’s kind of a vulnerable time, because people are focusing on what to do there, and how the enemy would like to take advantage of that.
That’s just like the devil, isn’t it? To come and take advantage. But we just surrender this thing to the Lord right now.
Spiritual Dilation
January 1, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I have another Word that I need to share. And if I know my heart, I do not want to say this because it’s so easy for someone to misunderstand. When I first saw it, it was earlier in the service, I began to see something that was stretched like a drumhead. It wasn’t bloody or anything like that. It looked like a drumhead almost.
My first thought was it was almost paper that was stretched. And then I thought it looked like a drumhead. And then I saw it opening from the center with a pinhole, just a tiny, tiny little pinhole of an opening. And then I saw it getting larger and larger and larger.
But it didn’t just open wide up. It would begin to open and then hesitate, and open and hesitate. And it seemed as the Anointing was coming in waves, that as the Presence of the Lord would come, it would open up a little bit, and then maybe draw in a little bit and open up.
And this is the part I hate to say. I really hate to say it this way. But I don’t think you’ll get the point with my little illustration of a drumhead, because that’s not what it is. But I kept hearing the Word of the Lord speaking about dilation.
And I knew God had given me a little cleaned up version. Do you understand? He was showing me just a little symbol so that I could bring the Word of the Lord tonight to you, that there is certainly something going on in the birth canal.
For most of my ministry I was a single man, and I could’ve never said this. But after being with my wife at the birth of three children, I understand a little bit about this stuff. And if I close my eyes and I don’t look at you, I can say it. Those are the hardest words a woman has ever heard is when they say, “You’re only two centimeters.”
And the woman says, “Only two?” And then they say in a moment, “Oh I think you’re almost to three?” “A three?” See how quiet you are? And it’s all that pushing and that labor that’s going on and it’s hard to believe that the dilation is so small, such progress, such little progress.
And I could sense tonight in the Spirit, just a spiritual dilation. Please don’t misunderstand. But just an opening up in the Spirit, that God wanted me to say, “Something is about to be born.” Hallelujah. (Tongues)
And if the enemy could, he would shut down the labor. He would stop the labor. It’s happened that a woman would be this far along in labor and her labor just stop. And I see that the desire of the enemy is to just stop the labor and to cause the dilation to cease.
But in the Spirit tonight as we continue for a moment to worship… We’re going to, he’s going to sing a worship song. And as we continue to worship let’s… A while ago I was feeling bad about how you might react and now it doesn’t matter. Now it doesn’t matter because I feel that real unction of the Spirit of God. Hallelujah.
And I don’t know about you, but I’m anxious. I remember. I remember how I felt that first night. I was so anxious for my son to be born. And this was taking entirely too long, just dragging on. And I was so anxious. And I feel that anxiousness in the Spirit tonight. I’m so anxious to hold it, whatever this is that God is sending to us in a birth. Because we know that it takes a birthing process for something to become a reality and a revelation to us. If something’s just handed to us, it doesn’t mean as much. But if it comes to us in a process of birth, it’s more precious to us.
Whatever this is that God is wanting to send… Perhaps it’s the Anointing on that super sense of faith. I don’t know what it is that the Lord, entirely, don’t know entirely what it is that God wants to birth. But let’s just worship a few more moments and prepare our hearts to receive whatever it is that God desire to allow to be born among us tonight, that the labor would not cease, that the dilation would not stop, but that God would surely bring forth in this house even tonight the thing that He desires to birth among us. Oh hallelujah.
Prove Me & See
January 2, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this morning. Yea, I am the Lord Your God. I am your Healer. I am your Physician. I am your Provider, saith the Lord. Yea, you have need of nothing that I am not able to supply unto thee even this day. And yea, the Lord would beckon unto thee in this hour, prove Me. Prove Me, saith the Lord. For it is My delight, and it is My joy when My people prove Me.
Yea, I call unto thee, prove Me this day and see if I will not heal you, saith the Lord. Prove Me this day and see if I will not supply your need. Prove Me and see if I will not lift you out of the valley of despair, saith the Lord, renew your strength, yea, and give increase to your faith.
For the Lord would say unto thee, this is a chosen hour. It is a time of joy and celebration unto Me. And I shall use it, saith the Lord. I shall use it as an advantage to manifest Myself among you. Prove Me. Prove Me and see if I will not be that which you have need of.
For yea the Lord would say unto thee, you that have walked in weakness, yea, you that have known such weakness in your body, today is a day of strength unto thee, saith the Lord. For I shall cause strength to be poured out upon thee like oil. It shall start upon the top of your head, saith the Lord, and it shall go down even unto your body. And even down upon your feet, saith the Lord, shall the new strength of the Lord be poured out like oil. Prove Me, so saith the Lord.
See Me in My Fullness
January 2, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
For yea, the ones that have seen Me in the fullness of My Word, yea, these are the ones who have My face, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that for ages men have longed to see Me in My fullness, and yea, they have only seen Me through the lattice, saith the Lord.
But yea, in this hour there is a people, yea, My people, who are scattered among the face of the earth, saith the Lord, and they have seen Me in the fullness and the revelation of My Word. These are they who have seen My face. Yea, if you long to see My face, look to My Word.
For yea, I have said unto you, I have told you already that I and My Word cannot be separated, saith the Lord. And yea, it is My desire to show you more of My face. Yea, it is My desire to reveal more of My face unto thee, saith the Lord. So purpose in your heart, My children, that this will be the season, this will be the hour, this will be the time that you see Me in the fullness of who I am. Look upon Me, saith the Lord.
For never a man has looked upon Me and died. No, no. If I call you and you look upon My face, you shall only live, saith the Lord. For I have called you to look upon My face. Yea, I have shown thee what I would not show Moses, saith the Lord. I have shown thee My face. Continue before Me, saith the Lord, and you shall know Me more. For this is the season of My revealing, saith the Lord.
Moving the Obstacles Stopping Revival in Germany
January 4, 2005 (Tuesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
Just let me give the Word of the Lord for Germany. I just saw that before the end of this year the Lord is beginning to get ready to begin to move the obstacles, the hindrances, and those who have stood in the way to forbid revival among the believers in Germany. Before the end of the year, there’s going to be transitions and changes. And God’s going to begin to move people.
I hate to say it, but I had to say it. People are going to be moved out of the way, because they’ve stood in the way of revival. They’ve denied the power of the Holy Ghost, and they have swallowed tradition. They’ve stolen revival from the people. God’s not going to continue…
Listen. I just saw in the Spirit, there’s too many elderly believers, there’s too many old people in Germany dying, dried up. Sure, they go to be with the Lord, they’ve walked in the Truth for years. Sure, they go into His Presence. But they’re dying, dried up, with no move of God, with no joy of the Lord.
And I just saw, too many of them are going by way of the grave, leaving here with no joy, with no contentment. God has had just about all that He’s going to take. God’s had just about that He’s going to tolerate. I said, “Before the end of the year the Lord is going to begin to move and reposition, and change, and pluck up, hallelujah, and tear down, and begin to make a way and prepare for His people that walk in the Word, to have a stirring of the Holy Ghost. Let’s praise the Lord. Hallelujah. (Tongues) Hallelujah.
Real soft. I’ve had a burden for Germany for years. Some of you know that. I’ve gone several times to preach in Germany. And there was only one Pastor left in Germany that would open his door among the believers for me to preach in. I could preach in Pentecostal churches and Charismatic churches. Get invitations from time to time.
But only one Pastor. And the only reason why he would open the door for me is because he was in a marriage situation that had caused all the churches to blackball him. And he had known such rejection because of his marriage situation, he had known such rejection from the brothers, that he was more humble about allowing me to come.
It took him a long time to get to the place where he would even invite me. But he finally invited me. And God did some things. And this brother slipped away last year with a brain tumor. And that’s the situation.
And yet there was one time that people would come from all over Germany. They were coming to the meetings where I was, and God was doing wonderful things. People were slain in the Spirit of God. And people were touched and blessed.
But politics. Oh, influence and politics. But you know, God, He’ll take it. He allows it to happen. He stands back. But there’s just coming an hour. I just feel it for Germany. But not just Germany, lots of places. God is not going to allow forever, bishops and men to stand in the way of His Glory.
The Four Living Creatures
January 4, 2005 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I want to share a vision that I had in the service last night. And that may be as far as we get to go.
I was standing on the platform. And it was about five minutes before Brother Greeley began to sing, “I can feel the flutter, flutter, flutter, of their wings…” I noticed that when Jonathan used to sing that song, a lot of people laughed at it. But did you notice, Jonathan, I saw you glance around. “Did you know there weren’t very many people laughing at it anymore?”
People used to kind of laugh at it. It was kind of funny. Flutter, flutter, flutter. I never did think it was funny. Because I’ve been in, I’ve been in the flutter. And when you’ve been in the flutter, you appreciate somebody being able to put it in words. I felt that flutter before. I felt like I was standing in the midst of those creatures as they fluttered before the Lord before. The Glory of God was so real and so strong.
But I think we’ve matured spiritually some, in the last few years. And I noticed people really singing it. I appreciate that, because it means something to me. It was about five minutes. God knows my heart. I speak to you totally the truth, before he sang that song. I didn’t know he was going to sing it. I didn’t see his list. If he had it on the list, I didn’t see it. Had no idea. That was Brother Greeley, I mean, who was leading it. And about five minutes before he did, we were singing another song, and all of a sudden, I saw in the Spirit those four living creatures.
And by the way, they mean more to me than they’ve ever meant to me, because when I was in Jerusalem, the Lord impressed on my heart to preach on those Living Creatures some months ago. And honestly, I had heard the Message, I had read the Seals, I had heard the Seals, I had preached on the Seals. And it was just good information.
But somehow, as I was preparing and praying and reading in Jerusalem, it really became a reality. And I saw how important it was, the faces of these four living creatures, and what they represented. And how God sent that particular anointing to each particular age.
And I was so blessed that when we read about the Inquisition, and we read about those people who died, and we read about those women who had their bellies cut open, and we read about men who had their bellies cut open, and Sulphur burned inside of them.
And they were stretched apart. And they were burned at the stake. And they were crucified. And we read about that, and we read about that when they were dying, their brothers, their sisters, would sometimes see the Glory of God leaving them, their spirit descending up out of their body like a dove, and flying over the crowds of the people.
And we read testimonies of how the face of Jesus was seen sometimes in the flames, as those men and women were burned for less Truth than what you hold in your heart tonight.
Did you hear what I said? Burned to death. Fed to the lions. Speared by the gladiators’ sword. For the less Truth than you and I hold so dear in our heart tonight. But I… And I said, “how could they do it?” They would see Jesus in the flame. And somebody would say, “Me next.”
Kind of like standing in line in Israel. There is no such thing as a line. It’s every man for himself. And if you don’t broaden your shoulders a little bit, you’ll never get to the window. Because you can be standing there all day, and somebody come out of the wing and step right in front of you. Never glance in your direction, for you to even say, “Get out of my way.”
And it’s not just places. A lot of places around the world. Here too. Maybe. I never experienced it quite so much. But here people were wanting to be first, next, because they saw Jesus in the fire. “Kill me next,” is basically what they were saying. I just couldn’t get it. I just couldn’t fathom that. I just couldn’t understand it.
And here God made it a living reality to me when Brother Branham just touched on it. He said, “It was anointing that was represented by one of those Living Creatures that had the face of an ox. And that was the anointing for slaughter. And God gave…” Brother, Sister, I know you know this. But I’ve got to tell you something in a minute. And I want you to be on queue with me.
God anointed them to lay down their lives. And they did it unashamedly, by the thousands. And history says by the millions. When I read that sometimes, it makes me ashamed, honestly, of my lack of dedication. It makes me ashamed sometimes of how I let the least little thing tear me apart, stir me up, and tear me up. And I can’t even… You know, whatever you need to do.
We kind of explain it away by saying, “That was for that age. And we’re living in another age.” And that’s right. We saw that through the opening of those first Seals, how an anointing represented by one of those living creatures was sent to the earth at that specific time, with the specific anointing that was needed in that specific hour, because of the specific attack that the Bride of Jesus was under at that very moment. You got it. Don’t you?
I saw those four creatures. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen their faces like I saw it last night. Because it is strange. It was strange to look on their faces. Because, I thought, a little child. I even had this thought; a little child would almost be scared to see them in this symbol form. Because literally, as I saw them, their faces were literally the faces of the beast that they represented. And it was a strange thing to see it in such reality.
And they were moving, as I’ve seen the angels do before in visions. They were moving in great synchronization that never ceases to, it always leaves an impression on me when I have had a vision like that, of how the angels can get together. And how they can move in such divine synchronization, that they move as one.
One put up the hand, they all put up the hand, you know. Moving. And these four beasts were doing almost like a dance. They were walking this way, and walking back this way, and walking this way, and walking back that way.
And I perceived in my spirit that it was as though they were offering praise to the Lord. Now I know they’re symbol. When we get to heaven, we’re not going to see perhaps four creatures with faces. But you understand now, more than ever, what they represent.
I could see those nearest of me. But the fourth one over, I was having a very hard time seeing, because they were moving in such union and unity. And all of a sudden, in my heart, quickly, I had a desire to see the fourth creature, which had the face of what? A flying eagle. A flying eagle. A flying eagle.
And if you’ve ever seen an eagle in a cage, like Brother Branham talked about taking Joseph to the zoo. If you’ve ever seen an eagle in a cage, and seen perhaps on video a flying eagle, you will know the difference in the face.
Somebody said to me one time about that verse, before I came to the Message of the hour. Somebody said, “How did John perceive in the eagle’s face that it was the face of a flying eagle?”
And I remembered thinking on that, and never could get the understanding of it. But later hearing the Message, I realized it was the countenance of the eagle. It was the shine on his face that caused John to perceive, “This is an eagle that’s soaring as eagles were created to do.”
His physical form, angelic form, might have been walking back and forth here, but his spirit had already soared before the throne, as John was seeing Him. How many of you understand that? And all of a sudden, I had a desire to see that fourth creature. And all of this happened very fast.
And when I thought. Just thought, as the thought came to my mind, “I sure would like to see the face of the fourth one,” I had caught the glimpse. Very much. I had seen the first two very clearly, and I was catching glimpses of the third one as they walked back and forth. But the fourth one, I hadn’t yet seen.
And all of a sudden. I can’t say that I can explain this, please don’t ask me to. I wanted to share it last night, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to get it out, even. (I’m not doing so good tonight either.)
But all of a sudden, the other three just walked off. They just walked away. Altogether, divine synchronization. They all three just walked away. And that fourth living creature was standing there in the Spirit. But his face turned that way. I even saw the profile of his beak. And the look on his eye. Because I could only see one eye. The exhilaration. There was something about his countenance, the joy, the shine.
And here is the most impressive thing. I can’t tell you I understand it. He turned to me, just as I was standing there, and looked me straight in the eye. And I can only tell you that I was overcome by the sense of overcoming. I was overcome by the feeling of overcoming.
Because how many of you know that’s what the flying eagle represents? The anointing to soar above everything. And I know tonight, and maybe a handful of you know, we are not going to make it in this race if we don’t get above it.
Be honest. Now you can talk, talk. If you want to talk, talk. I can talk, talk with you, and we can quote quotes, and we can say all kinds of religious things. But let’s be real tonight. And I won’t take too long, if we’ll just cut the chase and get to reality. It won’t take me near as long to say what I’m going to say.
In reality, looking at our lives, some of us examining ourselves, we would have to admit, “I’m just not going to make it, if I don’t get above it.” I’ve tried to get above it, and I can’t get above it,” you might say to me tonight.
The Holy Ghost is here. And Brother Tebo, do you feel like I’ve picked on you? You do? Are you mad at me? Good. But he does feel like I’ve picked on him. Well, he’s honest. That’s one thing you’ll get out of a Tebo is honesty. And beans and rice. Two things you’ll get out of them. Hallelujah.
But maybe the Lord. I don’t know, but maybe the Lord wanted you to hear this. There are things that we are facing. We see, and things we’re going through, and you’re going to go through, and have been going through forever. Sometimes we think we’re really doing it, and sometimes we think we’re not really doing it. And sometimes we think we’ve about got it whipped. And then it overwhelms us again. And I think it’s safe to say tonight, “If we don’t get above it, we’re just not going to make it to the end.” Hallelujah. And so now you will understand.
You know, I don’t know why everybody doesn’t see things that I see. I don’t know why. I know that it doesn’t make me any more special. And it doesn’t hardly make me any more spiritual. And most of the time I really struggle to even say it. And I have known you, and you have known me now for almost ever, for almost eternity, you know. And still I find myself worrying about what people will think about it, and how they’ll take it. And now it’s going out everywhere. But you somehow should be able to appreciate.
When he looked at me, I sensed something in his eyes. He said nothing. But I sensed that he was sending me something. Because that’s what he came to do. That’s what he represents. He represents an anointing for an age. And he represents the age I’m living in.
Because I have surely moved out, by God’s grace we’re trying our best to get out of the “age of a man.” And get over here in a spiritual age, the age of the Bride. And somebody said, “I just don’t understand how things like that could minister to our kids, our young people, our children and so forth, etc.” It’s time they grow up. They’re going to have to grow up early. This is a late hour.
And you know what? If you would talk it at home, they would appreciate it a whole lot more when they get to church. If you would talk it in front of them, and answer their questions, and find out if they don’t understand something, and help them to understand as we go along, they would appreciate what they hear when they get to church.
And what I don’t understand is, a lot of them can set you down and tell you. I’ve heard them. They can tell you a lot. And if we take time to invest into them these supernatural things, they can get… They can get Bible stories anywhere in the world. You can go anywhere and get a Bible story. And that’s good. And we give it to our children and they’ve got to have it.
But every now and then we need to take a little time to impart something supernatural into their life, and explain to them that we are a blessed and privileged people to be able to live in the realm of the Spirit.
I know I’m privileged. I know my children are privileged to be able to enter into the realm of the supernatural. It’s almost a lost thing. And God has given it back to us. But as he looked at me, and I saw his eyes, and the joy of the flying, the soaring, I felt as though he was passing something, imparting something to me.
Somebody said, “Oh, that sounds so strange.” “Why?” That’s what the anointing that was on Brother Branham, that’s what that anointing came in the earth to do. To impart to us what it takes to overcome in this hour.
Breaking the Bondage of Fear
January 5, 2005 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Yea, for the Lord would say unto thee this night, it is My desire, saith the Lord, to pour out of My anointing upon you. Yea, My anointing, My Spirit, is strength. And Yea, I the Lord thy God desire to give you My strength. Yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I have searched you even in this hour, and I have seen the fearfulness of your heart.
But yea, I the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, do not fear. Do not allow the enemy to bind you with fear, saith the Lord. For I have come to help you, to strengthen you, to bring you out of that place that you’ve been walking in. Yea, the enemy of your soul has bound you, crippled you with fear.
But yea, the Lord would say unto thee, I shall restore joy, the joy of My salvation unto you. For yea, it is My will to break the bondage of fear in My children. The enemy knows that if he can bind you with fear, he can keep you from flowing in My anointing and in My Spirit.
But yea I, the Lord thy God, declare unto thee this night that if you’ll call unto Me, if you’ll ask Me, yea, I will break the spirit of fear, the bondage that it has brought into your life. And I shall give you liberty that you have never known before. I shall anoint your eyes with eye salve, and you shall see My Word. Yea, it shall leap off the page, it shall come alive in your spirit as never before, saith the Lord.
For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, fear has bound you. It has kept you from being obedient. It has kept you from being free and having liberty, saith the Lord. Look to Me. Call on Me. And I shall deliver you from the spirit of fear, and you shall know My liberty and My anointing, even in this hour, saith the Lord. (Tongues)
Speak it Out & I Will Loose You
January 30, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
Of course, I will loose you. I will loose you. All this sickness, and all this pain, all this pressure, all this being so down all the time, of course I will loose you. But you must come to Me. Come to Me, I say. Come to Me. I will loose you. I will. But you must speak. You must speak. You have the power within you. Speak it out. Speak it out. Speak it out. I will loose you. I will loose you. I will loose you.
Refreshed for the Journey Ahead
February 6, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Personal Word directed to Brother Shelley
Prophetic Word given by Beverly Skipworth
Brother Shelley, you’ve been on my heart for several days. And these words I wrote are, I pray that you’ll receive them as best as who I am in Jesus to you.
It says, The Lord has blessed thee and kept thee for such a time as this. It is He who hath kept thee. Let not thine heart be discouraged, for He is with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Thou art His. Thou art carved upon the palms of His hands.
He is mindful of thee. He sees and He knows all the cause of pain. He sees the sacrifice and the giving of thyself through many things, through many times. He has seen your tears, your struggles to try to be, to obey all that He’s called you to be and do.
It is not an easy road, but very narrow. And oh, that true light might shine, might spill over on others. You have so given of yourself to others, it has drained you of your strength many times. But I have given you renewed strength and determination to keep pressing on, regardless of how hard the battles and struggles.
Your life and your journey has not been in vain, but has spread many seeds along the way. Your life has been one of much sacrifice, but very rewarding along the way. When you see the results of your labors, bearing much fruit in many directions.
You are called, you were chosen, you are elected “For Such a Time as This,” that you might go forward, bringing in your sheaves behind you. It is I who has chosen you. It is I who has spoken and dealt with you. I have chosen you, and I have chosen your family to go forth to My people.
It is the time, it is the day, it is the hour. My son, I have never failed you. Let not your heart be discouraged or weary in the journey. I know all things. I hold all things in My hands. Have I not made a way for you many times? Am I not the One who has opened this door?
Behold, let thine eyes look upon the harvest. Be thou faithful. Plant the seeds and I will cause them to grow, and mature and spread forth. I will cause them to spread even by the wayside, to the left and to the right. Be thou salty. Let thy light shine forth.
Press thyself and go forward. I see all the things that would trouble thee. As I have spoken in My holy Word, you must cast your cares upon Me and trust Me, and thank God. For I am still God. I am still who that can move the troubled waters and bring peace and answers to situations. I will not allow more to be put on you than you are able to bear. Did I not promise the way of escape? My grace is sufficient, My son. My grace is sufficient.
I am He who hath called you to run this race, to follow this path. Let not your heart be troubled. I am with thee. I hear the calls, the cries of your heart in desperation, your desires to obey Me and please Me. I see every need that faces you. Be still, My son. Let Me fight your battles. Let Me take them into My hands. I love you, My cherished son. Be still. Let Me refresh you, replenish you, refill you for the journey that lies ahead.
For I will surely use you, and I will use your family. The battles have been great, but I am greater. I am greater than any battle or test that You will have face. You must remember, I am still the great I AM. I AM your strength, I AM your Provider, I AM your Succorer, I AM your Father, your Savior. But I AM also your friend, and very present help in trouble. I AM the God of all battles, wherever they be or however they be.
I know the load you have carried. Lean upon Me, My son. Just lean upon Me. Let Me carry your load. As I have chosen you for this path, so shall I keep you and all those whom you love. I saw things in you, you could not see in yourself. You must know with assurance, My hand is upon you, and the enemy shall not prevail. Though all of hell is seemingly against you, they shall not prevail.
Go! I send you forth to do My perfect will. Fear not, but trust Me. As you have seen Me move many times, so shall you see Me move once again. Though pressures be great, I am greater than all of them. Center your focus upon Me and let Me fight your battles. I send you forth, clothed in My strength, My joy, My power, My anointing, and My glory. Go! I send you forth to do My will.
Pieces of the Puzzle Coming Together
February 19, 2005 (Saturday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
I saw in the Spirit the gears of a watch and those tiny little places, teeth where one wheel will turn and causes another little wheel to turn. And I just saw something like that in the Spirit, like the back of a watch was removed and all those little wheels were together. It seemed like that they were slow in moving, very, very slow in moving like little pieces were being added still on top. It was slow in getting started. One wheel would begin to turn another wheel, and that wheel would cause another wheel to turn. It was slow in getting started. But I believe that’s what the Lord is doing.
Oh, yes. I believe that the Lord is desiring to bring the pieces of this great plan, this great puzzle, together, and it’ll fit together like the teeth on the wheel of these little watch pieces. When one begins to flow in the calling that God’s called him to, or her to, it sparks, it inspires, it anoints someone else to being to flow. And they spark it and inspire someone else to begin to flow until the clock is keeping time, God’s timing God’s timing is what I’m hungry for - the seasons and times of the Lord.
Let’s just worship Him, and we’re going to close. We worship You. With all that is within us, we worship You. Oh yes, the missing pieces to the watch. God’s putting them in now Those missing pieces, God’s putting them in now. Even as Ezekiel’s bone yard, bone came to bone with spiritual discernment to know which bone was connected… To be connected to which bone.
No one standing there to direct it, just the Spirit bringing the bone to the bone. How did the ankle bone know what bone he was supposed to grab a hold of? It was directed by the Spirit And that’s what God’s doing, adding the missing pieces to the watch.
Magnified in Us
February 26, 2005 (Saturday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
As we were worshiping the Lord just then I saw in vision a stone, a rock that was smooth on all sides. Smooth around the edges, no jagged places.
But I saw it falling from the top of a great mountain. And I saw it beginning to roll down the mountain, even like Daniel saw in the Spirit. And I saw that stone as it began to roll down the mountain… A strange thing happened, almost like it would have been a snowball instead of a stone because it was getting larger and larger as it tumbled end to end.
It was growing in size and in strength, in speed as it began to accelerate itself down this mountain. And as it began to come toward the bottom of the mountain and began to roll out into a plain, I saw great towers that had been lifted up. Some of them seemed to be hand-carved from what looked like ivory. And I saw some that looked almost like the Eiffel Tower, something like the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I saw all of these different, even what appeared like the Washington Monument.
But I saw that this stone was striking these monuments or towers in the valley. It was striking each and every one of them. And to say it carnally, it was bowling them over, like a bowling ball against the pins.
And I heard that thought, a brother sung a song just a few services ago in Alabama that said, “I found that Stone that was hewn out of the mountainside. It came rolling down through Babylon, tearing down the kingdoms of this world.”
And I just sensed in my spirit that this is the hour, this is the time, the season, when our Lord Yeshua is going to be that Stone that has been cut out of the mountainside. Not by the hands of man. And yet It was so rounded and so smooth, not at all jagged but easy for rolling. I sense this is the hour that He is going to be magnified.
And He’s not going to magnify Himself alone through His own power, although He certainly has the power to do that, but He’s going to magnify Himself in us. We’re going to be the mirror that reflects Him, the moon. I’ve been watching the moon these last few days as it’s getting rounder and fuller and all of the edges are becoming clearer and clearer. And as I see that moon, I am amazed because at home I don’t often see the moon in the daylight. But here I’ve been seeing the moon, even in the day, even in the afternoon, early in the day I can see the moon. And maybe it was a couple nights ago as we were coming home from Mount Carmel, and I looked, and it seemed so reddish, so full of color.
And yet, I understand that the moon has no light of its own, not at all, but it’s only a reflector to reflect the light of the sun. And in that sense, the moon represents the Bride of Yeshua, because we have no light to give. Amen? We don’t have much to offer of ourselves, but we are a reflection of not the s-u-n, but the S-o-n. We are a reflection of the Son of God, the Messiah, Yeshua, our Lord.
And I just sense in my spirit that this is the day… Man is thinking, and he is planning, and he’s making covenant and treaty, and a road map is still being talked about for the future of the world, but I’ve got a feeling that this is the hour that the Messiah, that Yeshua’s going to begin to be magnified in us, that He is going to come like that little Stone, hewn out of the mountainside, rolling down through Babylon, tearing down the kingdoms of this world. The only way for His Kingdom to be exalted above all others is that all others would have to crumble before Him.
And I also see that man’s wisdom, and man’s ivory towers and man’s intellect, his religion, his denominational concepts of God, I am sensing that man has so confined God in a box, they’ve so placed Him in a little square pen, a little place, and said, “Now this is what we want You to do.” Like the Scripture said, “You act like children, sitting in the marketplaces saying, ‘I piped unto You, and You didn’t dance.’”
But I see that God is getting ready to break out of man’s box, the box that man has placed God in. He’s getting ready to break out of that and manifest Himself to those who are hungry for Him. And I see that the Lord is saying this morning that the Glory that we have known, the Presence that we have known and even the victory that we have known is just like the appetizer. It’s like sitting down at a fine restaurant and having the different courses brought to you.
And what we’ve known in the Spirit is not the entree, it’s not the fullness of the meal, but it’s only that which would cause us to, our appetite to be stimulated and increased for more.
And I see that the Lord has us sometime in still places. And it feels a little bit like that in the Spirit. Although it’s not a still time. It’s a very busy time in the Spirit realm. But for some of us it feels like that this is a still time and a slow time.
And the Lord said that’s like us sitting down at a restaurant. Maybe some of you have experienced this. And if you haven’t, you’ve probably at least heard about it. But sometimes in a very fancy restaurant, I have only been in a few in my whole life, between courses they bring out something like sorbet. And a lot of times it’s citrus flavor. And they give you just a little bit of that sorbet. And they do it, they call it to cleanse your palette so that your mouth is clear of all the flavor of the last course, and it starts preparing you for the next course so that… You can be seated if you want to.
I just saw in the Spirit another illustration that I don’t think I’ve used before. But sometimes in the States we have traveled. And when we travel there are places that you can go and shop, and they call them outlet malls. And what they are is the different manufacturers will open stores and sell discounted things, sometimes second quality at lower prices.
And when you are among these discount stores in America, they have something called Perfumania. And it is a store where they discount all kinds of perfume and cologne and powder and all the things that go with these fragrances. And when you’re in there, you can spray testers, you know, on little cards and smell the fragrance to see if you like it. But after a few tries, it all begins to smell the same because the fragrance gets caught in your nasal passages. And your sense of smell, it gets a little cloudy, a little hindered and not clear.
So you know what they do? They have little jars with coffee beans in them and little holes in the top. And they’ll tell you to smell the coffee beans. And when you smell the coffee beans, it clears your nasal passages of all the other fragrances, and you can start again, just like the sorbet that clears your palette. (Oh, this is strange.)
But I feel like the Lord would have me to say that some of us are in that in-between course of the meal. We’ve had the appetizer, and we’re desiring the entree. We’re desiring the meat and the potatoes of what God has for us.
Now these fancy little appetizers are nice when you’re so hungry. It helps you, and it’s nice, but it’s not enough. It’s not all we want. It’s like going to the Arab restaurant and having this huge array of salads put out before you. And you love them, you enjoy the humus and all the different things, but if it’s me, I’m waiting for the makluba, I’m waiting for the main course to come.
And I see that some of us here, and perhaps also those who are streaming on the computer, we’re kind of in that in-between course in the meal. And we’re, you know, not feeling so much direction. And it’s not so very clear - like being in the fragrance shop and having all of the different fragrances kind of permeating the air at the same time. It’s difficult to distinguish between the fragrances.
But thank God that He has the sorbet. He has the coffee beans. He has something, a reality check. Yes, He has a reality check that helps us to begin to clear our palettes, to clear out our nasal passages, that when we get to the main course, there’s nothing left of the appetizer, no flavor mingling in our mouth from the appetizer, but all of that is cleared out. It’s all gone, and now we’re beginning to taste. Without any mingling of flavor, we’re able to taste the entree that God has prepared.
Oh, I’m willing, Lord. If that’s what this season is about in our lives, if it’s to clear our minds and our spirits from all that we have had, getting ready for something meatier, something more substantial, something more filling, Lord, we’re willing.
If you can understand this mixed up explanation, could you just lift your hand to the Lord with me and say, “Lord, I’m ready for You to clear my spiritual palette. I’m ready, Lord, for You to remove all of the mingling flavors of all the appetizers. That was great glory. It was great miracle, great wonderful things You’ve done for me in the past. But I’m ready, Lord. It’s not that I don’t want to remember it. I want to remember what You’ve done, but I don’t want it hanging around to dilute what You’re about to do. And so, Lord, we’re willing for this still time, this moment between courses. Hallelujah. Glory to God. (tongues)
Prophecy:
For surely the Lord would say unto thee this day, I have called you, yes into that still place where it seems that almost My clock has stopped in your life. But yea I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, It is not stopped, it is not finished, but merely paused, saith the Lord. And it is not because of disobedience, so you can quit asking Me if you have missed Me or if you have disobeyed Me.
For I say unto you, it is not because of disobedience, but it is because I’m getting ready to do something more, something more for you, saith the Lord. And I have called you to this place in Me to rest and to clear yourself of all the past.
And yea, the Lord would say unto thee, there has been some confusion in your mind of what I would have you to do. And sometimes you would feel like that I would lead you to this and other times lead you to that. And so, I’ve seen those moments that you have been a little confused, wanting to know exactly what my will is.
And the Lord would say, that’s what this season is about. Rest in Me. Look unto Me. And I will clear away all the worry of the past, all the flavor of the past, all the fragrance of the past, and I will begin to reveal My plan.
And it’ll be good, saith the Lord, for I have custom tailored it just for you, you in mind, saith the Lord. The things that you enjoy, the things that you are, all of you, I have custom designed My will for you, knowing you the way that I do. So, rest in Me. For the Lord would say unto thee, I shall change directions, and things shall begin to be clearer, saith the Lord, if you’ll wait on Me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Bless Your Name.
And I didn’t speak it out that way prophetically, but I began to see that for somebody here, a great change is coming around Pesach, around Pesach time this year a change is coming. And you’re going to know that the Lord is doing it. Hallelujah. I’ve never thought of it that way, but God’s clearing our palettes. Go ahead, Lord. We’ve got mingling flavors.
I also see that we’ve got flavors from all the places we’ve been in the Spirit, all the places we’ve been in fellowship, all the churches, the ministries we’ve been through and under, and we’ve got a little taste of this from here and a little taste of that from there, a little taste of something else from over yonder. And I see that the Lord desires, not that it wasn’t all good flavors, not that it all wasn’t wonderful meals, but the Lord wants to clear us, He wants to get all those mingling, lingering flavors out of our mouth so that we can begin to eat.
Yes, I know that it’s time for us to be weaned from the milk and eat the meat like we have never eaten it before. Oh, hallelujah. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Could we worship Him just another moment?
I don’t want to linger, drag out or tarry, but I’m awed right now by the Presence of the Lord. I’m awed right now by what He’s speaking to us. Hallelujah. Oh, bless the Lord. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord. Bless the Lord.
Yea, even at Pesach time you’ll begin to know what I’m doing. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. (Tongues) Blessed be the Name of the Lord. We exalt You, O God of Israel. You are our God. You have brought us together. We have seen ourselves in the sticks that are twisted together. We have seen ourselves in Judah and in Ephraim. We have seen ourselves there. Hallelujah.
We know, Lord, that You’re putting Your people together like never before, like never before, like never before. Hallelujah. I just saw something else in the Spirit. I saw like… Well, I’ll give you this example. This isn’t exactly how I saw it, but I’ll give you this example.
A few days ago we were in a washroom, my sons and I, and they wanted to wash their hands. And so we washed our hands. And there were two little hand dryers, blow dryers for your hands in the washroom. And they had a large, round, button-looking thing on the front. And Benjamin, my oldest son, he just walked up and hit that button, what looked like a button. It really did, right on the front, big round thing. And he expected the air to begin to blow. And I said that didn’t sound right, and it’s not coming on.
And I looked over there, and I realized that it was an automatic dryer. And it didn’t require the pushing of a button, all you had to do was put your hands under it. And there’s a sensor in there, a light sensor that knows when you’ve put your hands under there, and it triggers the air to begin to blow.
But what I saw in the Spirit was… In America we have sometimes these handicapped doors that have these laser beams. You can’t see them, but they have little laser lights going across from one connection to another. And when you step into that, the door will open. It’s like a trigger reaction.
And I saw in the Spirit that we must not… I know the Lord deals with us like this often maybe, but we must not despise the day of small things. We must not despise these humble beginnings, these little things that God is doing.
(Why don’t you go ahead and be seated. It makes me feel bad for you to have to stand.)
We must not despise these little small things that the Lord is doing. Because what we don’t know is, sometimes they’re like trigger reactions, they’re like little laser lights that trigger something else. Does that make any sense to anybody? Like little mechanisms, you know, that opens another door, and you step in that door and it might be a little bigger, and when you step in that, it triggers another door.
Because if there’s one thing the Lord has spoken to me while I’ve been here this time is, He spoke so plain and He said, “I’m dwelling in your willingness. I’m dwelling in your willingness.”
And I have a hard time sometime going back and forth between understanding willingness and obedience, because it’s different. Willingness and obedience is a little bit different. Because the Bible said, “If ye be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the Land.” Not just willing, but willing and obedient.
And it’s my nature, this is me, it’s my nature to place God in my obedience, that God will show up when I obey Him. You’d have to know my background. But I came from classical Pentecost. And in classical Pentecost there was a lot of emphasis on works and actions and deeds. And I believe that faith without works is dead. But there was more emphasis placed on action than faith.
And now we’ve grown up a little bit in the Spirit. But I still have a tendency to put God at that place of obedience. Where I obey God, He shows up. When I obey God, He shows up. That’s my thought. But the Spirit of the Lord was dealing with me that He doesn’t show up when I’m obedient, He shows up when I show willingness. When I show willingness, He shows up. Before I ever get to that place where I have to obey.
Remember Abraham, our father spiritually, he was not required by God that he should have to sacrifice his son, Isaac. And he went up on that mountain with faith that if it came to that point of sacrifice, that the God He served was more than willing to raise him from the dead. And that moved Abraham to be obedient. But God didn’t show up after Abraham was obedient. It would have seemingly been a little late. He showed up when Abraham showed willingness.
I just implore you in the Name of the Lord. Even though you may have heard these things a thousand times, please don’t turn a deaf ear to what the Spirit would say to you. I just feel like saying that God is speaking to you. So, when we’re close to one another and we know one another’s circumstances, sometimes we often think that Word is for so and so. “I know who that’s for. I know who that is for.” But God wanted me to say, “It’s for you.” Not the one next to you, they’ve got to claim it for themselves. But it’s for you.
And I keep hearing that driving of the Spirit, “Don’t despise the day of small things.” For He said, “I have chosen the foolish things of the world, those base things, to confound the wise.” The wisdom of man is confounded and confused in God’s tendency to use those little things. And that’s why I said last week, and it’s been on my mind all week, more is being accomplished in the Land of Israel by little individual people who are praying and seeking the mind of God. More is being accomplished by those little individual people than by great organized effort. Because God can speak to us individually, and He dwells in our willingness.
Let’s ask the Lord to help us to be even more willing, more bendable, more moldable, more pliable, that He might be able to use us in every situation.
Lord, we thank you that You’re speaking to us by the Spirit, totally unrehearsed, un-thought of things, things that have not been so pondering in our mind, but You just came. And we thank You that You have come. And, Lord, if it is for us, and You said it was, we want to apply it personally.
And we want to see you, Lord, in our willingness. When we’re willing, we want You to be there. We want to know that You’ve shown up, and that You’re going to lead us the rest of the way, because sometimes we don’t have to carry out, we just have to be willing. Sometimes we don’t have to give up everything, we just have to be willing. And sometimes we’re just trading what we have now for what You’re going to give us as we continue to walk by the Spirit. Bless Your Name.
Crumbling the Dividing Wall
March 5, 2005 (Saturday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
And I felt the Lord beginning to do that during the praise and worship this morning. I saw a dividing wall, a large, large dividing wall that was beginning to crumble. And when I first saw it I thought, “My, what is that wall?” Perhaps that is the wall between the Arabs and the Jewish people.
But as I began to hear, listen carefully what the Spirit was saying, I saw and heard that the Lord was saying that this is in His plan. And I’ve been very careful to, not to say that because it’s big. It’s very big when you say that God is doing thus and this, and such-and-such. It’s a big thing for me. And I know that everyone has different opinions, and I know they… Sometimes our opinions are political and not spiritual.
But I feel to say this morning that we know beyond the shadow of a doubt, whether we like it or whether we don’t like it, God has given this land to His people. We know that. And we know that the Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as men count slackness. But He is always faithful to do that which He has spoken.
We mentioned last Shabbat morning that it may not come when we want it to come, but God is always on time. And I saw in the Spirit that the Lord is allowing these, this threat of disengagement and withdraw from the Gaza, that the Lord is allowing it to happen for not one reason, but for many reasons. And that it is His hand. And I know that goes against perhaps what a lot of other leaders would say. But I sense that God is going to do as He always does. He’s going to use the most awful thing.
I see Joseph so clearly in the Spirit just now. That it seemed to be the most awful thing that could happen to Joseph, but it was really the greatest thing that could ever happen to him because God made him a savior to his own brethren.
And we know that this withdrawal will not be permanent. And we know that it, that the Gaza, that the West Bank, we know that even beyond the present borders of this nation have been given to the Jewish people by God. And we know that God is going to keep His promise. The rest is none of our business. How God does it and when He does it, and what He has to allow to happen before He does it is really none of our business.
I sense in the Spirit that the Lord is going to use the withdrawal and the disengagement to speak to a lot of Jewish people. And not only is God going to use it to make them more, to fill up their hearts with Zionism, because Zionism is a concept. It’s a thought. It’s a wonderful thing. I am a Christian Zionist, or Messianic Zionist.
I believe in this land, but it’s not Zionism that God wants to fill His people us with. He wants to fill up the hearts with a hunger and a longing for Him. And if I tell you what I saw, somebody may be offended. But I’m going to say it anyway.
I saw in the Spirit. And anybody who knows me knows that I have a real feeling for the religious Jewish people. And even the ultra-Orthodox people, I have a real feeling for them. I don’t understand how so many of them have trusted in the words of teachers instead of trusting in the Torah that was given to them.
There are many things I don’t understand about them, but there are many things that I appreciate about them. And that’s their desire to go beyond, to do more than what is required of them because they want to please God.
But I saw so clearly that this disengagement and withdrawal, that God’s going to use it. And it’s going to speak, not to the religious, but it’s going to speak to the secular Jewish people because the Lord said, “They’re Mine as well. Even though they’re not wearing black coats and black hats, and they may not be covering their heads, and they may be going from a party to another party, or they may be moving in worldly things, the Lord said, ‘They’re still Mine, and I’ve still claimed them.’”
And this disengagement is going to cause a rallying among them. And it’s going to cause them to be a little zealous and religious in the fact that they’re going to begin to see what the enemy’s doing and how he’s taking away what belongs to them. And in doing so, I saw that the Lord was going to cause them to become more observant, to become… Into a place where they would draw from the Lord and from the Torah.
And I saw… I hate to say it this way, but what I saw was that most of the religious, most of those who are so steeped in the traditions of man, they’re going to be the ones who accept and see in the end. When the Lord comes, when our Joseph, Yeshua our Messiah, when He comes and stands on the Mount of Olives with those nail scars in His hands, the Bible said there are going to be those who will ask Him, “What are these scars in Your hand?”
And He’s going to say, “This is that which I received in the household of my friends.” And then their eyes will be opened and they’ll recognize that this is the same that has been called Jesus, or as they often like to say, ‘Yeshu’ instead of Yeshua, showing Him disrespect. Many of them are going to have their eyes opened that day. And I saw to be. I’ve never seen it this way before. But I saw a great crowd of religious, of black-coated Jews who were going to see the scars in His hands.
And so what I believe the Lord was showing me was the stirring that’s coming now from the Spirit is going to be among those who are not so religious, but are secular Jews who are settlers and who are consumed with the settlement spirit. You know, they want to settle in the land and drive their roots down. And God’s going to begin to speak to them and draw them. And that we should only pray that will of God. That we should be careful how we pray. And when we don’t know how to pray, we should only pray, “Let Your will be done.”
In the Charismatic world we have heard so much about specific praying and how we, how we should command it to be done this way and this should be bound, and this should be loosed and so forth. And all of that is good when we know that we’re thinking in the mind of the Spirit. But when we’re not sure, it’s always appropriate to pray, “Not my will, not the will of this one or that one, but oh Lord, let Your will be done.”
And I see very clearly that the Lord is allowing this and He’s using it. And I can also see in my spirit that the heart of Ariel Sharon is in the hand of the Lord. It doesn’t matter what people think about him. It doesn’t matter what our opinion of him is, that God still has the power and the ability to turn his heart.
In fact, I hesitate to say this, but that’s what’s happened. I see in the Spirit that the thing that he was most adamant against is the thing that he has introduced and he’s taking a very hard rap for it. But I see that the Lord will use these things to establish His will, to bring people to Himself. And in the end, we know without a doubt that this land belongs to the Jewish people, and God will give it to them no matter who squats on it, no matter who claims it for themselves.
But I see that this is a time where things are happening in the Spirit-realm that we don’t know anything about. And since we don’t, we should just say, “Your will be done. Your will be done, Lord. You allow these things to be turned and to change directions for Your glory.”
And when I think of that in the Spirit, it so excites me because I know that God is in control of everything, and we should just praise Him. We should just give Him glory and not be moved and not become… You know, the Lord has warned me before about becoming political, not to become political in these things, but to give it all to Him because He is the One who sits on top of the flood. He is the One who rides the winds, and He sits on top of all the… you know, the Scripture, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, He, the Spirit, shall lift up a standard against him.”
And I see the Lord raising up His holy standard against the works of darkness and against the hand of the enemy. And in all these things we must rejoice anyway. Hallelujah. Are you saying that it’s God’s will? Ultimately, it’s not His perfect will, His perfect plan that’s going to be revealed in the future, but yes, I’m sensing very strongly in the Spirit that God is allowing these things to happen for the salvation of the Jewish soul - the most important thing. God loves the Jewish people, but He loves their soul. He’s after their soul. He wants to have their heart. Hallelujah. And I see that God will stand back and allow these very painful things to happen because it softens their heart and will cause them to begin to look to Him.
And the Lord said for too long we have trusted… and I know He is speaking in this sense, not to Jewish people alone, but all of us. For too long we have trusted in our own ability and in our own strength and in our own power, but God is quickly bringing us all to that place where we realize we have no strength, no power, no ability outside of that that He gives us.
Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. We bless You, Lord. We worship You, O God, in the Spirit of Your holiness. We don’t understand all of these things that are happening around us, but we know You are God. And we know that You are in charge of it all. And we know that You are going to work Your will. No man or devil will be able to keep Your will from being accomplished in our lives and in this Land. For this is the place that You have chosen to establish that work and that Kingdom that is promised that shall never come to an end, when Messiah shall sit again on the throne of David. We look for that. We embrace it, and we reach for it.
And we thank You that You have not forgotten the secular Jewish people, that You have not forgotten the non-religious and those who are as the sinners in every land are - they’re just secular like Americans who don’t know the Lord, or Europeans who don’t know the Lord. But You have not forgotten the Covenant that You made with them as well.
And it is not only the Orthodox, or the extremely religious, that You love, for You came to seek that which was lost. And Lord, we thank You for whatever it takes, however You plan to do it, to draw them.
And I saw just then in the Spirit that it will come among the younger generation of Israelis that God desires to speak among the young people, to call them. And I see them fellowshipping with one another, but not around alcohol and all of the things that they have fellowshipped around. But I see them joining together, hungry, desiring to know the God of their fathers.
We declare it and prophesy a change for the young people of this nation. We decree and declare that the bondage of drugs will be broken in their lives and that You, O God, will break forth in this hour, in this moment of time, to fulfill Your will among the secular young Israelis. Lord, let it begin now in the Spirit. We may not see it with natural eyes, but let us continue to sense and to discern that which You’re doing in the Spirit. We bless You. We bless You, Lord. We bless You, Lord.
And the Lord is also dealing with me that our focus should not be so internal, but that we should begin to focus outwardly and let God take care of us. If you really believe Him, and you really believe that you’re in His care, let’s begin to see the burden and begin to see the need out there and pray about it.
You know, I’m reminded of what David said, “When they attacked me, or when they persecuted me, or when they came against me,” he said, “I humbled myself with sackcloth, with prayer, with fasting.” And he said, “My prayer returned unto my own bosom.” In other words, “I became the benefactor. I became one who would reap even the prayer and the fasting that I offered for other people. The blessing came back on me.”
And I see how the Jewish people sow their bread into the water. And the Bible said, “But it shall return not many days hence. The bread that we…” Hallelujah. Glory to God. “The bread that we cast upon the water shall return to us not many days hence,” saith the Lord.
Making Our Enemies at Peace with Us
March 12, 2005 (Saturday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And I just heard the Spirit. Just then I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “Am I not able to make your enemies be at peace with you?” Just then the Lord broke through in the Spirit. I could hear it clearly. I knew it wasn’t coming from my own consciousness, but from His mind. “Am I not able to let you enemies, or to make your enemies, or cause your enemies to be at peace with you?” That would be miraculous.
The Cry of Bartimaeus
March 12, 2005 (Saturday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw then again, just as clearly as I saw it earlier in the service, those very determined steps, the Lord is walking with great determination in your direction because your prayers have been heard. I believe He’s heard your call, your cry like the cry of Bartimaeus in the midst of the crowd when everyone was screaming out. And yet the Lord heard that call of Bartimaeus because it was the call of faith.
In the crowd, when everyone was pushing Him and pulling against Him, He felt that touch. Truly He was being touched everywhere on every side, bumped by all manner of men and women. But here was one who touched the hem of His garment and virtue went out of Him because it was a determined touch of faith.
And I believe as surely as the cry of Bartimaeus and the touch of faith of the woman with the issue of blood, as sure as those things touched Him, someone has touched the Lord and He’s walking with very determined and purposed footsteps toward you, to bring your help. Hallelujah.
Oh. Not just for one. But I just claim it for all of us. Lord, You love us that much. It’s not a mystery that it could be for all of us. You love us all so much. We receive.
Determined Steps of the Lord
March 12, 2005 (Saturday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
I saw the feet of the Lord. I knew that it was His feet. It was the feet of Yeshua. I saw the bottom of His robe and I saw His feet. His feet were bare, not even shod with sandals. And I saw Him walking. And as He was walking… I saw the dust was being stirred up around His feet as He was walking.
And the dust, it seemed to grow. Instead of… It started just like little puffs of dust that were being scattered as He would place His heavy feet on the ground. And then I saw the little dust clouds begin to grow and grow and rise and get larger. And I realized in the Spirit that the Lord Himself was stirring something this morning. I just felt it. Not… Kind of in the same way that the Angel of the Lord would come down and trouble the water.
But this time I saw that the very footsteps of Yeshua, our Messiah… He’s walking with heavy feet. I’ve never expressed it that way before. But I just sensed that He was walking with very determined steps, and very heavy feet as He was making these determined steps. And something is being stirred around us, and I know that it’s for the glory of God.
I know that it’s because of our prayer and because of our praise and because of our faithfulness to God and our petitions that we have laid before Him that the Lord has determined steps. Hallelujah.
And I see that in those determined steps He’s bringing healing for our bodies. And I see that in those determined steps He’s bringing relief for our minds, hallelujah, and rest in our spirits, for our spirits. And in those determined steps I see that the Lord is bringing deliverance from every oppressing spirit and every attacking spirit that has come from hell to hinder our way. I see the Lord not angry, but very determined as He steps toward us this morning. Hallelujah. And we receive Him with glad shouts of Hosanna. Hallelujah.
We receive You, Lord. For we know that there is particular business in Your mind, that You are coming toward us for specific reasons. Hallelujah. And I sense that those reasons are whatever our needs are. Hallelujah. And I sense, oh God, that You’re very much aware of the unrest and the unsettledness in this Land. I know that it has not passed You, oh Lord. But I know that it is ever present on Your mind. And You’re coming, not only for those who believe, but You’re coming as well for those who have been blinded, with very determined steps to carry out Your plan. Hallelujah.
We receive You. Hallelujah. And I see that it’s, in the Spirit, that the Lord’s feet are bare because He’s coming in haste. And He’s not taking time to take His sandals to latch them on, to tie them on. But even as you would be in the house, perhaps, without your shoes and would hear a noise in the street, and just run out without ever thinking about putting on your shoes, I see that the Lord is coming in haste.
And again I hear the Spirit of God saying that He has an appointment with us and that something is changing at Pesach time. And again I’m getting that in the Spirit. Because that was the Word of the Lord to the prophet Moses that we should leave in haste, that we should not wait for our bread to rise, but that we should have everything… In this particular reference, our sandals should already be put on. And that is also a connection with what was spoken, with what Sister Sue spoke when she said, “Being prepared.”
Now we know the Lord is about to do something. We know that the Lord is coming in haste. We know that He’s coming with very determined steps. We know there’s a change in the Spirit coming for somebody at Pesach time. He spoke that a few weeks ago. And now we just receive. Hallelujah.
And now we know that He is instructing us to be prepared, prepare ourselves, prepare ourselves physically and spiritually. Make some physical preparation to receive the change of the Lord.
Shooting of a World Leader
March 13, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
As I was standing here… I don’t like to just throw things out like this, but as I was standing here this morning worshiping the Lord, I saw in the Spirit what I knew to be gunfire. And I don’t know how to explain it except… I couldn’t see the bullet. You know, a bullet moves too fast to see a bullet.
But I saw a streak of light going across just in the Spirit. And I knew that it was a bullet. And I saw it strike somebody just above the right hip. It looked like it was just above the right hip; right about there. I couldn’t see the man. His face was turned that way. And I saw this man collapse. And I knew in my heart he was a world leader.
So I began to pray. He was not a large man, so I would think, in my mind, it was not a man as portly as Ariel Sharon. He seemed to be a little bit taller and more slender, but I never saw his face, just a little bit of his cheek and chin.
And so I prayed immediately that if there’s any way possible that the Lord would stop that… If this is not Your will, if this is the… You know, how else do we pray when God shows us something like that? We don’t really know how to pray. Should we pray, “Lord, stop it”? Should we pray, “Lord, do it”?
You know, you don’t know, so I said, “Lord, if there’s any way that it would be Your will that You could prevent this, then I ask You to prevent it. But if this is Your will, and there’s a reason that You’re setting up a leader or taking down a leader, then all I can do is pray that other innocent people are not harmed and not involved.
The Battle of Spirits
April 22, 2005 (Friday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Lord wanted me to say to someone here that He saw the battle of spirits that you went through before you came to the meeting tonight. He saw the battle of spirits. He saw the will, the strong will that was warring against you.
And the Lord said to tell you to do what you’ve been doing. Just keep standing. Keep believing. Keep worshiping Him. He knows how to break every fetter, every yoke and every chain. He said to tell you that that deliverance will be supernatural. It won’t be because of you following the rules or laying out step A, B, C.
But He’s promising a supernatural deliverance in that situation for your loved one. (Tongues) Loose him and let him go.
The Fullness of the Gentiles
April 24, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I had no more than sat down, but in the Spirit, I saw this beautiful sheaf just real quickly – just a real quick picture of this beautiful sheaf of barley that had been bound together. And I saw it as it was being waved back and forth, and then frontward and backward, in all four directions – from the right to the left, back and forth, sort of east and west, and then north and south. I could see it waving in the air.
And the thing that I noticed about it in this just brief little vision of the mind, the spiritual mind, I noticed that little ripe grain, little ripe seed were falling off of this sheaf as it was being waved. The movement of it, the movement of this sheaf as it was going forth, back and forth and side to side was causing some of the ripe seed of the barley at the end to shake off.
Because you know when something gets ripe, it gets ready to turn loose. That membrane that holds it in place, it begins to weaken. And so just a little bit of shaking of wheat or barley, or even corn for that matter, when it’s really, really good and ripe, you shake the stalk and the ear is so heavy it can fall right off.
And I saw those little tiny little kernels of barley falling down as this sheaf was being waved back and forth. And it brought to my spirit such a reminder of where we are this morning in God’s moedim, in His appointed times. That means more to me in the Spirit than it’s ever meant to me before.
And then there was another phrase that came into my spirit, and I didn’t even have time to grab the… I mean, I was looking up Scripture as fast as I could, sitting there. And I didn’t even get a chance… But the phrase, “The fullness of the Gentiles” kept going over and over in my spirit. Hallelujah.
Turning Us Backwards
April 28, 2005 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I was going to say that I noticed when that Presence of God was moving in the Spirit in a whirlwind motion, I noticed that it was moving against the clock. It was not moving like this in a clockwise motion, but counterclockwise. And I could just sense in my spirit it was moving, but it was moving backwards. Even as the hands of a clock would turn backwards, I could just sense that the glory of God was turning us backwards. Hallelujah. And you know that don’t hurt my feelings because I know we have to go all the way back to the beginning to go forward.
The Hands of the Lord
April 30, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw… just recently, I saw so plain in the Spirit… The Lord was showing me so plain in the Spirit all the things He holds in His hand. And I didn’t share that. I will another time.
I did mention about how He holds the heart of the king in His hand. But I saw in a vision in prayer right here in the sanctuary, right over here on this side, I saw so many things in the hand of the Lord.
His hand was just piled full. And I began to look close in the Spirit and see all the things that was in His hand and the things that He controls that… We know it. We know He does, but we’re not constantly aware of it, you know. We sometimes think we control or we’re in control or… But really, it’s in the hand of God.
Being Stirred by the Spirit
May 1, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’ll tell you what He’s saying in my spirit right now. It’s going to become very, very difficult to ride the pew like some of us have done. It’s going to become harder than it’s ever been before to sit back and take no part, because we’re going to begin to see God stirring others. And as we see others who haven’t been stirred in a long time being stirred by the Spirit, it’s going to provoke us. It’s going to be harder for us to take the back seat and a non-caring role. Hallelujah.
I see God just pushing some of us a little closer to that walk of obedience, blindly following the Lord, totally obeying His Word, boldly sharing what God is doing in your life.
Shake Off the Dust
May 1, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I could just hear the Holy Ghost speaking in my spirit, reminding me of the words that were spoken here the other night that we should arise, shake off the dust. With great anticipation and expectation we should reach up, embrace what God’s doing. Take it.
Standing Between the Seals & the Trumpets
May 22, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
But I was standing here on the platform this morning, sometime during the praise and worship. And I had a little vision, an experience with the Lord. And it was only a few seconds, but it really left me jittery all day long, just kind of nervous.
I cannot tell you what I saw because… Somebody’s going to say, “Well it wasn’t much of a vision was it?” I cannot tell you what I saw because I don’t know what I saw. Somebody said, “Well again, that don’t sound much like a vision.” Well it was. I know for sure it was a vision.
I’ve only shared it with one person, that was Brother Enzo this afternoon. And I said, “I don’t know how to describe it. It was more abstract.” It kind of reminds me of Jewish art. It was just kind of abstract. You’ve got to kind of figure out what it was. It wasn’t something so clear and so plain that I could tell you, “There was a ladder here and a door opened, and the wind blew in and the grass bent over.” I didn’t see it like that.
But very, very quickly I just saw clouds moving, it looked like clouds moving very fast. And they were not moving as though all were going in the same direction, or blowing this way or blowing that way or up or down. There just seemed to be a wind in these clouds, and they were just spinning.
And the thing that I noticed the most was this low roaring thunder sound that lasted the entire few frames or seconds of the vision. And it sounded like it was a long way away, getting just slightly louder. Not extremely louder, just slightly louder, but it never ceased or stopped until the picture was gone. It sounded like it was coming from far away, just roaring almost like a train. But I felt like it was thunder because it had almost syllables in it, fluctuations of influx in the sound. It got a little bit louder. Not extremely loud, but a little bit louder, but it continued through.
And then in the midst of all those clouds that were moving around, I saw flashes of colored lights. Not just one light or just clear light or white light, but flashes of lights like the colors of a rainbow flashing all around in flashes like a flash on a camera.
And in the distance behind that, behind those clouds that were moving and those colored flashing lights, behind that I saw the entire picture would flash like heat lightening. Not that streaked lightening like this, but like heat lightening that just lights up the sky and it’s gone, lights up the sky and it’s gone. That was going on in the background.
The clouds were moving in the front, and those colored flashes of lights were going on, and that loud roar thunder. And it was gone. Now that is strange. And I wouldn’t even share it because I, what good does it do if you don’t know what it was? But I know it wasn’t my imagination. I’ve had enough visions to know when a vision’s breaking.
But all of the sudden… It was not a voice that I heard, it was a knowing. I just knew it. It was like I had had a revelation or an inspiration, or I had known something all along and now it just come out. And it was very clear to me. And I saw in the Spirit. Without yet knowing what this picture means, I just knew it, I should say, in the Spirit. And I’ll just try to express it with an explanation instead of word for word. I just all of the sudden knew where we were standing.
I just all of the sudden knew that we were now standing in that place between the Seals and the Trumpets. Now that sounds strange to some people because you say, “Well, there’s some things in that that has not yet been fulfilled. There’s some things in that that has not yet been fulfilled.”
How many of you remember that Bro. Branham said that those seven trumpets were to who? To the Jews. The Seals were to the Bride, to help the Bride know where she was going to stand in the end time.
I never realized it before exactly. But where is Revelation 10? It’s in the middle. It’s between the Seals and the Trumpets. And I just knew in the Spirit that we were standing in the place of the seven thunders. I knew that’s where we were standing. And in my spirit, I sensed that they were like a bridge connecting the seals and the trumpets.
Somebody said, “So far I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.” I’ll just make it plainer. I believe that we are standing in the hour where God is about to make clear to us what John could not tell.
Now I know there are followers of the Message, and among them even some followers of William Branham cause that’s a different story. Some follow William Branham. Some follow the Message, who believe all that is over. All that is finished.
The thunder people believe that it was those attributes of God that were revealed one in each Seal. The stature of a perfect man. And as each Seal went forth, a thunder uttered. And that was the end of that.
I’ve got a little problem with that interpretation because there was only one thunder that went forth in the revelation of the Seals. It was after that those seven thunders uttered their voices. You just read that. You find it in your Bible tonight.
Then Bro. Junior Jackson, who just died not too long ago, and his followers, they believe that the seven thunders are seven anointed men who will be raised up in the end time. One per continent, or one per geographical area, and that God will use those seven men to preach a Word that will bring the Bride to perfection.
I have always known in my heart that the Truth was in the middle. I’ve always known that by revelation from the Lord that neither one of these interpretations were one hundred percent accurate. It was somewhere between the two.
I believe that what God has to say has been said, we just have to find where He said it. I believe it’s in the Message. I believe the key to it, the foundation for it is in the Message. But I do believe what Bro. Branham said when he taught us that a foundation is being laid for a quick short message that will go forth.
I do believe with all my heart that it’s tied to that white eagle ministry that God was revealing to Bro. Branham toward the end of his life. I believe that it’s a quick thing that God is about to do. And it causes me to approach Him very reverently. Because if there’s any truth to it at all, what I see and what I have known by the Spirit, this is a very exciting season to be walking in.
And why is it? Why would it be exciting? I mean, why would it mean anything to us? We’ve come so far? And what relevance would it be? Well, I didn’t plan it, but I happen to have it here, what we have heard over and over many times. I do wish the atmosphere would’ve been a little better, but I can’t help that.
I thought I had it real handy here in The Third Seal. Give me just a moment. I didn’t plan to read it or I would’ve had it handy. Bless the Lord. You’ve still got time to get home. Bless the Lord. I may have somehow taken it out. I thought it was right in here with these many, many other things. Most of them we’ve shared.
Third Seal: “Oh, they’ve got millions and millions and millions of church members, but not a revival nowhere.” This is March the 20th of 1963. “No, no. The Bride hasn’t had a revival yet.” I know what some of you are thinking. You’re thinking like Jim Ed, “All we’ve had is a revival.” That’s what he said, “Ah, it’s just been one great revival.”
But Brother Pearry Green said, “I don’t know where you’ve been, but that’s not what it’s been like for me.” “No, no. The Bride hasn’t had a revival yet. See? There’s been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet. See? We’re looking for it. It will take those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again. He will send it. He promised it.”
Anybody believe that? I mean even if you believe it’s already over, you believe it, don’t you? I mean even if you believe it’s already happened, you still believe it. Hallelujah. And it may have already happened for you. I don’t know.
But here’s another one I hold on to, to let me know that it hasn’t happened yet. Now that was ‘63. He just only preached the Third Seal. There was plenty more revelation to flow wasn’t there? So that’s what they say. They say, “Well it was after that that God brought the rest of the Word and that was the revival.”
I don’t believe that because in ‘65 Bro. Branham was still saying it hadn’t come. 1965, November the 25th, Shreveport Louisiana. This is just about as close to the end as you can get, of his life. And he said,
“…watch when the spiritual Bride when She begins to have a revival, when She begins to come back and line Herself up with the Word of God, watch then again, how that the Scriptures, at that time there’ll be a Message sweep out to catch that Bride, catch that woman, elect.”
Then he goes on to talk about Luther and Wesley a little bit and Pentecost and then he says, “But then the time that the people are ready to line up, there is a Message that comes forth then, and they line up with it.”
I believe that it is in a Message that God has sent to us. We are not looking for a new Message, or a new messenger or anything of the sort. We’re looking for God to come and take that Word and make it real to us and reveal to us.
John knew what it was, but God told him, “Seal it up. It is not time.” I don’t hear anybody else after that saying they know what it is. But God does. The One who revealed it the first time to John is with us and He’s able to speak it again. It’s going to be supernatural.
Take Up the Mantle of Kingly Authority
June 4, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
I just saw in the Spirit beautiful cloaks, beautiful cloaks falling down from heaven. They were the kind of cloaks, the kind of capes that kings would wear, with the collar that stands up in the back, with the golden chain connecting the two sides of the cloak together. I saw many of them just floating down from heaven like mantles.
And I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, “Take up. Take up the mantle of your Kingly authority. Take up the anointing of kings today and begin to decree and to declare. Declare days of prosperity for the people of God, for our spiritual prosperity, that we would grow and prosper in You spiritually.
Use the authority of a king, The King of kings, to declare a release of finance and provision for the people of God, that every need would be met. We want to declare. Declare and decree with our Kingly authority, with our Kingly robes on our shoulders, we want to declare favor in the situations of visas. We want to declare favor in the situation of government offices and ministers of this government, offices that have dominion over the goings and comings even of the people of God. Those going in and out of the country. We just declare and decree Kingly authority over every situation. Divine appointments. Oh hallelujah. Hallelujah.
We just decree the removal of some of the scarecrows that the enemy has placed out there to keep people away from this little place. We just decree right now in Kingly authority that every rumor, that every lie, that every misunderstanding, that every misconception of what this ministry represents, that it will be broken down and removed and deposed of in the mighty Name of Yeshua. And that You’ll begin to bring hungry hearts together with us in worship. And that You will reveal Your Word, the Word that liberates, the Word that sets captives free. The Word that dresses the Bride in her wedding garments. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
In our Kingly authority we prophesy the changing of the wind, the wind that has blowed hardship, the wind that has blowed bitterness, the wind that has blown hard times, we decree with Kingly authority that the wind must shift, and that a new wind must blow across the believers in this land. A wind of favor, a wind of good things, a wind of provision, a wind of knowing who we are, and what we’ve been called here to do. Knowing direction.
We decree as kings that the cloudiness, the confusion that the enemy has tried to send upon believers concerning the will of God, the cloudiness in their minds that they can’t quite make out or perceive or discern the perfect will of God, for why they’re here and what they’re to be doing.
We command and decree as kings in the Holy Ghost, we decree that all confusion be lifted from the minds of the people of God, that every spirit of deception would be plucked out by the root, that it would never grow again in the lives of believers, and that a clear Word from God would spring forth like an artesian well in the life of every believer who is seeking Your face in this land.
That they might know the will of God, that they might have both the courage, the anointing, and the favor to carry out that which You have birthed them and brought them to the Kingdom like Esther, for such a time as this. Oh, let it be done according to Your perfect will. Move and pluck out every spirit of hell that would stand in the way. Bulldoze by the Holy Ghost every roadblock that the enemy would raise up.
We speak to those roadblocks in the Name of Yeshua, like the mountains that Yeshua said we could pluck up and move to the sea by faith. We speak to those roadblocks. We speak to those obstructions in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach. Be plucked up and removed from the path of the believers who are going forth in the anointing and in the unction of the Holy Ghost to do the will of God in this hour.
Changing of the Guard
June 4, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
Let the grace of God carry us through the changing of every guard. Changing of every guard. I see changing of the guard in the Palestinian Movement among the Palestinian people. I see the guard changing again.
Let the grace of God carry us through the changing of the guard. I see the changing of the guard in the Knesset again. I see the changing of the guard again. Let the grace of God carry us through. (Tongues) Hallelujah. (Tongues) We declare the justice of the Lord. Justice of the Lord, that the Lord’s justice reign in the earth. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
I hear the Voice of the Spirit saying, “Yes, there is no hiding place. There is no hiding place, there is no hiding place from the eyes of the Living God.” There is no hiding place. And I saw God getting ready quickly, just like this, “One, two, three.” I saw it in three flashes, three quick phases, how God is about to uproot the leaders of fear and terror. “One, two, three,” just like that. In three different places. I saw the Lord getting ready to uproot, to expose and to reveal the hiding places of those who are dealing most high in fear and terror.
I saw the Lord getting ready to reveal and expose, and bring them out. And the Lord’s justice shall be upon them. It is not God’s will for people to have to move in fear. And some of this fear is keeping the final thrust of evangelism from going into places where it needs to go. Afghanistan, Pakistan, some of these places. Hungry hearts.
I read last night. I worked almost seven hours at the computer yesterday on people’s e-mails that have come into our ministry. I was reading them, going back over the past few months. If you could read the cries of God’s people in Pakistan and Afghanistan, who write us saying, “If only God would make a way for you to come. If only God would open the door and make it safe for you to come. We’re so hungry for revival.
And it just rose up, grieving me just then. So strong. How serious and sad it is that fear of terror, and fear of the unknown is keeping doors closed. And surely God has opened. I’m telling you, we have seen God open doors. Look what God did in bringing down the cold war and opening up Russia and all of those provinces and states, in the Soviet Republic. Look how God opened up those doors for evangelism.
Look what God did in opening up Berlin. Look how God is opening up so many other places for the Gospel. China, even China now the Gospel is going in. Yes, it’s going in under cover in secret. But it’s growing in great power and authority.
God’s doing it, and He can do it in the Muslim world, the Islamic world. You know, because we are so in love and so connected to the Jewish people, sometimes it’s easy to forget. But God has spoken to us in our ministry many times. He said, “I have a Bride that wears another veil. But I know how to reach her. I know how to get her. And I know how to pull her out from under that veil and give her the Bridal veil.”
In other words, that Islamic veil, that veil of that false lie, God knows how to rip that off and give them that place of position in the authority and in the Kingdom. You know, give them that Bride veil. Hallelujah. Because there are people…
So we just decree right now the hastening of this Word of the Lord, that You will reveal them, that You will expose them, that You’ll allow them to be brought out of their hiding places to break the bondage of fear over this Muslim world, and over the Middle East, so that the Gospel can go in, that the Holy Ghost can go in, that the Revelation of Jesus can go in and touch those precious souls hidden behind such deep, deep, deep lies. Oh Lord, we thank You for what You’re doing. We thank You.
40-Year Cycles
June 11, 2005 (Wednesday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley | Jerusalem, Israel
This was the birth of the Charismatic revival. And it happened almost simultaneously with the six-day war. Everybody knows. Everybody knows whether they want to admit it or not, that Israel is God’s time piece. It’s the clock on God’s wall. Nothing happens in Israel in vain. Even tragedy, even bloodshed, even death happens for a purpose. It’s another minute on God’s clock, His timetable, to reveal something to us.
So 1967, the beginning of the Charismatic revival. The beginning of the unification of the City of Jerusalem. Reunification. That’s what we’re celebrating on Jerusalem Day, that Jerusalem is now no longer divided. Hahaha. But it’s one city. And at least we can say that it is in the sense that we can walk about it. Hallelujah. We don’t have to get a visa to go up to the Temple Mount. It could have been that way. God has at least given us that.
Now you start looking at that. ‘67, ‘77, ‘87, ‘97, 2007. Forty-year generational cycle. Could it possibly be saying to us that another great move of God, another great revival will soon be ushered in somewhere between the year of 2005 and 2007? I believe that’s what it’s saying. I really believe that’s what it’s saying.
Here was the kicker for me. And this won’t mean anything to you. Perhaps it will to these brothers who have been with me so long. But it might not even mean anything to the rest of you. But I want to say it anyway because I think it’s really a revelation that our brother received. God spoke to me many years ago. I was probably no more than twenty-seven, twenty-eight at the time. Maybe twenty-six. And he said, “You’re going to come to the…”
What is, let me see if I can get the right word. I don’t think he used the right word. Do you remember the word that? It wasn’t… Prime. It was the prime. I knew peak wasn’t just right, but yet it meant about the same thing. And the only reason why “prime” stands out in my mind is, Brother Branham taught us that when we’re in eternity we’re going to be at the prime of our life.
In other words, whenever life was at its prime. Maybe thirty, late twenties. I don’t know. We’re not, we’re not going to be seventy, seventy-year-old bodies in eternity. Do you know what I’m saying? We’re restored back to our youth. And so that word prime stood out in my mind. He said, “You’ll experience the prime of your ministry between the age of thirty and thirty-two.”
[Ed., Originally said, “Prime of Bro. Shelley’s ministry will begin between thirty and thirty-two.]
Well, I am now thirty-seven. And when I was thirty, I was going through the darkest trials of my life. No prime. No peak. It felt like the end. I had had perhaps what would have used to have been called a nervous breakdown. I was so broken and so sick, physically sick, mentally sick, emotionally sick, that I couldn’t even fill the pulpit. I couldn’t stand it.
I was so bad. My mother finally convinced me to go to a doctor. The doctor diagnosed me with having anxiety attacks and panic attacks. They gave me medication to keep the attacks at bay, which it didn’t work. They gave me medicine to help me fall asleep. They gave me medicine to help me stay asleep, once I fell asleep.
They gave me medicine to do this and medicine to do that. And all I could see was a downward spiral because I didn’t believe in so much medicine anyway. And all I could see was becoming a vegetable on medicine, and living that way the rest of my life.
And my mother took off work. She took an extended leave of absence to try to help me, a young man in the church tried to help me. But I couldn’t stand it. When I went to church, all I could think was people looking at me. You know, a manic, a little bit. And panic. Oh my. I don’t even like to talk about it because I can start feeling it. When I start talking about it, I can feel that pressure a little bit. And I don’t even like to mention it.
But it was almost as though it had… And listen. During that time our church split. There were some problems. Our church split. I lost some of the dearest closest friends and confidantes I’ve ever had in my entire life. So I felt like reduced to a pile of nothing. God said, “The prime.” And I feel like this is the sickest. I don’t want to live.
I thought I would never marry. I thought I would never have children because I wanted to be so dedicated to the work of the Lord. Now I didn’t really care because I didn’t think I would ever preach again. I didn’t see how I could ever really come back. I didn’t see how I could ever really bounce back anyway. It didn’t matter.
I met my wife. I loved her. And I’m ashamed to say I needed her. I’d never needed a wife before. But I just… And I don’t mean anything in the physical. I mean, I just needed somebody in my corner. And I’d never really needed that before because I had so many people around me that were.
But I could send them to their homes at night. But now I really needed somebody in my corner that would go home with me at night. And I felt my need and I saw my need. And I really believe it was God’s will. I believe God allowed me to get into that place where I could see His plan for my life, and for my wife. And that God wanted to give me children.
But anyway, I told my wife, “I don’t know if I’ll ever preach the Gospel again. If you love me because of the gift in my life, then that’s not enough for a marriage. Because I don’t know if God will ever use me again. He may never. I don’t, I may be a garbage man.”
So I really felt like that things were over. And yet I felt hesitant to turn loose of the church. Brother Greeley was taking care of the church. He was doing all the preaching, carrying all the responsibility. And yet I felt, I felt afraid to turn loose of it. I felt ashamed to draw a salary. And yet I felt afraid to say, “I’m not the Pastor. I won’t be back.”
And so God was really doing things, but it didn’t feel like God. It felt like hell. It didn’t feel like God. And I’ve often wondered. And it didn’t, when some of the people left that got so bitter and in such terrible spiritual shape, I’ll never forget one of them wrote a letter and sent it to me and said, “What does the prime of your ministry feel like?” Oh, that hurt me. Hurt me so bad. But I had no answer. I had no answer. All I knew was what God said. I never doubted what God said.
And I don’t know if this thought ever crossed my mind. If it had, if it has crossed my mind, it was a fleeting thought and it never stayed with me. But this year I’m going to celebrate a thirty. Not my thirty years on earth. I’m thirty-seven. But my thirtieth year of preaching. I preached my first public message in 1975. ‘85, ‘95, 2005. In September 2005 I’m going to celebrate my thirtieth year of preaching the Gospel. 2005.
We did a, we did a forty-year cycle just a moment ago, and it ended up in 2007, between the years of 2005 and 2007. If perhaps the Lord is right understanding of this Word He gave me years ago. Perhaps it would be that the prime of my ministry would be between my thirtieth and thirty-second anniversary of preaching. Not my thirtieth and thirty-second year on the earth. And if that be the case, it certainly correlates with this forty-year harvest cycle.
I knew that would be too much. Too many numbers and types and… But oh my. If you were telling me I’d have to check it out and try it by the Spirit, I’d be nervous about it. But since I know what He said, and I know that He’s never lied to me, hallelujah, He’s proven Himself. (Excuse me.) So faithful all of these years.
It fills my heart with great anticipation. And Brother Enzo even spoke it out and said, “Could it be that this would be the beginning of the last revival, revival for the Bride of Christ that would move us all into our position for a quick short work of deliverance for those on this earth that need deliverance, and are calling out?
Could it be that the one-man ministry is truly over, it’s finished, it’s dead? And God is helping us to all… Perhaps some of you already have. And God’s trying to help the rest of us catch up, awaken ourselves to this corporate ministry. Many membered body of Messiah all over the world, made up of both Jew and Gentile coming to the same faith, standing on the same foundation, celebrating the same biblical things. Worshiping in the same biblical way, declaring the same Truths.
Could it be that the missing ingredient is the Oil? We’ve got the spices compounded, crushed, mixed together. But it takes something to lubricate. It takes something to join all of these spices together.
And what did the Bible say? It had to be a hin of fresh virgin olive oil. As Sister Nancy always mentions to us when we’re looking at these ancient olive presses. It was the first pressing; the first weight is hung on the press. And that is a clean pure oil that comes out. Because the more weight that’s added to the press, the more of the olive flesh you get.
And the seed. You even start pressing into the seed, the pit of the olive. There’s oil in the pit. And you start getting a darker oil, and a oil with more sediment in it. So for God, for the temple, for the holy priest, for the tabernacle, the Mishkon even, it had to be the first pressing. The purest. And you take that one gallon, one hin, three quarts of oil. Mix that in and begin to stir those spices that have already been crushed.
And what do you have? You have this holy anointing oil. God delivering us from our insecurities because that’s the breeding ground for negative spirits, negative criticism. All of the negative comes out of our own insecurities. That’s why we have to be crushed together.
Stand near me, brother, sister. So that when God crushes us, He mingles us so that we’re so co-mingled by the Spirit, that one is not shining brighter than the other. But the Body, the Body, the Body, the Body…
Oh, you don’t know what I’ve… It’s not important to tell you. You don’t know what I’ve stood against. Because in the Movement that we came from, women had very little part in any form of ministry. Very, very little part at all. No part. Let’s just be honest. No part. Some even said they shouldn’t even quote Scriptures to one another.
Some of the leaders said that women shouldn’t even quote Scriptures to one another, that that was mishandling or misappropriating the Word. I came along, and did I ever cause a stir because… Although in our church women do not fill the pulpit for the taking of the sermon. It’s not that way. Yet the sisters have been given liberty to share from the Word and from the Spirit the things that God gives them.
There, I have a lady in my church that’s an ordained evangelist. She’s an ordained preacher. And yet she doesn’t come and take the pulpit. She came to us from Jamaica. She doesn’t stand by in the pulpit like a pastor does, but she exhorts. Over the microphone she exhorts the Body. She gives us the Word. She tells us what the Spirit… We have sisters in the church that are gifted, that see visions and have revelations, and they share it.
Now to you that’s everyday stuff. That happens where you worship all the time. But you don’t know how far we have come, and what we had to face in the opposition in our own ranks that we had to face just to get to the place where everyone…
And we’re still probably not there. Where everyone… Because each person has their own hang-ups, you know. And it’s hard to get everybody over their hang-ups. I can’t help it. A lot of times what people call the spirit of intimidation is not a spirit of intimidation, it’s a spirit of disobedience. A lot of people say, “I’m intimidated to obey God,” when really, they’re bound by a spirit of disobedience, and they need to be set free from that.
We want a ministry, a worldwide ministry, you know. Not a church. We’re not talking about church now, we’re talking about a Bride-ministry, where every person feels the freedom and the liberty to be led by the Holy Ghost, to be commingled together. Your gift compliments mine. My gift compliments yours. Where you’re weak, I may be strong. Where I, where you’re strong, I may be weak.
And when God crushes us together, mixes in that fresh oil, oh hallelujah. It’s green, by the way. It’s green oil. Understand that when that oil comes out, it’s not golden yellow like we see in our bottles.
When that oil first comes forth from the olive, it’s green. And it’s green. And you know that’s the kind of people wanted, that’s the kind people wanted to buy in those days. They wanted to buy green, so they would know it was fresh. Over a period of time it loses its green, and it starts flowing into that golden color that we like to pour on everything.
In Israel we pour it on everything. But it doesn’t come golden, it comes green. And we want green oil, fresh oil right from the olive. Hallelujah. It’s produced by beating and crushing. God mingling us together.
Taking the Truth with Us
June 19, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I just heard in the Spirit the Lord say, “As you meet together to summarize this present chapter, I will begin to reveal the next chapter.”
Thank God for these authors who have spent their lives as scholars, but who understand that most of the church are not.
And they will present their chapter, and then at the end of that chapter they do a nice little summary to remind you of what was said so you don’t forget it as you go into the new chapter.
And I hadn’t thought of that until the Spirit of the Lord just said, “As you meet together to summarize, making a summary of this chapter, the chapter that we’re in now,” He said, “I’ll begin to reveal to you and help you to understand the next chapter.”
So before we can move into the next chapter, we have to be refreshed and reminded of what God has said to us in this chapter because we want to leave everything behind that has come from man – all of man’s ideas and philosophies, that which is come from man’s thoughts and His loins, we want to leave that behind. And we only want to take the Truth of this chapter into the next chapter. Amen?
All of man’s ideas and man’s traditions and man’s thoughts and theories we want to leave behind in this chapter and only take the Truth that God has revealed to us into the next spiritual chapter in that great Book of Acts – that great second Book of Acts that’s being written presently. We’re moving from one chapter into the next and we only want to take the Truth with us.
Mobilize & Get Ready for War
July 3, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Experience Shared by Brother Shelley
Some years ago, I was sitting on the platform at the Tabernacle down the hill. And the Lord spoke to me concerning the word “mobilize.” And that word mobilize, because the enemy had us demobilized, in a rut.
How many of you remember it? Do I have your attention? How many? Do I have your attention? How many of you remember Brother Branham said, “A rut is a grave with the ends kicked out of it.” So if you’re in a rut, you’re just really in a grave that’s been given a more glamorous name.
But a rut is a grave. And a grave is for dead people. And the Jews believe that every year on the 9th of Av, the very day that the, that these spies brought back this bad report, that Moses… I don’t know. This is oral tradition, but it will sure give you something to think about that every year on the 9th of Av Moses would tell them to go out and dig graves. And God would fill them up every year.
And it got so a custom that the rabbis say that people would, that people were so expecting. See, they didn’t have the hope of the Messiah and the grace of the Messiah that we have. The oral tradition is that every year when they dug these graves, as the years went by people would dig them and just go ahead and lay down in them because they knew the judgments were going to pass over the camp. And they just knew they might be a candidate for it.
So they’d not only dig the graves, but on the 9th of Av, they’d lay in the graves and they were all mystified. Just oral tradition. They were all mystified on the next day at anybody that got up out of the graves. But the oral tradition is, people got up. And some people didn’t get up.
Because they believed that for forty years God, every year on the 9th of Av, remembered the sin of the evil report of the spies. And I told you Tuesday night, both temples were destroyed on the 9th of Av.
God gave that Word, “Mobilize.” Demobilize was how He said our condition was. And He said, “I want to mobilize you.” And the word mobilize means to make ready for war. Huh? To make ready for war as an army. Anybody listening? I know you’re tired. I forgive you. I understand. But you’ve got to hear this.
To make ready for war as an army. To assemble, to organize and prepare for war. Mobilize. “How many years ago was that, Elfrieda? Do you know? Do you think it was that far back?” Elfrieda said, “Perhaps ‘99. I don’t remember where it was, when it was.
Deploy- Spread Out in a Line of Battle
July 3, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
But I heard a new word in my spirit over the past three days. It wasn’t de-mobilize. And it wasn’t mobilize. But I heard another word. And it’ll be very familiar to you now because of what’s been going on in Iraq. But I heard another word in the Spirit over these past three days. And it wasn’t mobilize, it was deploy.
And I want to leave that with you. The word deploy means to spread out in a line of battle as troops do. To spread out in a line of battle. I’m not encouraging you to watch old movies. But if there was a movie, if there was a kind of movies. I said this to somebody today. And confession is good for the soul. If there was a kind of movie, or a kind of film that I was partial to, it would be a real war story. And it doesn’t have to be modern war.
I’ve enjoyed over the years having an opportunity to see films about even ancient war. And ancient warfare was a whole lot different than modern war. Wasn’t it? Ancient warfare was hand-to-hand, face-to-face. I’m not going to tell you where it comes from, but you will figure it out. Some of you that have had an opportunity to see it.
The Days of Deployment Are Upon Us
July 3, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
…But I’m seeing in the Spirit. I’m seeing something from a film. At least the same setup. I’m seeing how two opposing armies are lined up. And the line goes as far to the left, and as far to the right as you can see. And way over there on the other hill is a line just as far to the right and just as far to the left. And in a minute, somebody is going to play the chicken.
The General over here, and the General over there, they’re watching everything, making sure that everybody is in order and in line and ready. Daring each other. Close enough that that army line, and this army line can see each other. See each other’s movement. Only a valley between them, waiting on the other one to give the shout. A sense.
You that are religious, you need to get something to preach about. You’d be surprised what God can speak to you out of it if you’ve got a ear to hear.
I can see it. They’re just waiting on the other one. Everybody. They want to get it over with, but nobody wants to be the first. Truth be told, I’m sure both of them are hoping that the other army will turn around and go home. But that’s not going to happen. And they’re waiting on one of the other to give the signal, “Go on charge, or forward,” or whatever the cry will be. It will be the same. And as soon as one of those armies move out, the other army comes in moving as well, to meet the front.
And they do it differently now, I’m sure. But in those days, it’s a solid line against a solid line. And it’s amazing because behind them is another line. And behind them is another line. And behind them is another line, and behind them is another line. They used this kind of warfare even in the Civil War, as recent as the Civil War. But I was thinking even older. And it’s amazing because when they come face-to-face, hand-to-hand, it’s amazing, immediately “Boom, boom, boom…” You see people falling by the hundreds.
But it’s amazing just how far some of them can get through the enemy lines. I’ve seen it where they’ve passed them, passed the army, made their way all the way through the opposing army, and then turned around and started back toward them from the rear.
Amazing. Amazing. Is it military skill? Is it a little bit of chance? But the way they approach is a line. And the very essence of that word that God put in my spirit for three days, “Deploy,” means to spread out in a line of battle as troops. And every knows that word because that’s what we keep hearing around here.
I remember saying not too long ago when they decided they were going to re-deploy the brigade from Fort Benning. I said, “How long is it going to be before we begin to hear the reports that our local soldiers are out there dying all the time now.”
The numbers are getting on up there. Local young men. How long would it be before it would be somebody we know. It already has been. Sister Phyllis Coppock has lost her grandson in Iraq, or Afghanistan, wherever he was.
Just a matter of time. It gets closer and closer and closer. So we know that word “deployment.” The Democrats and the… Excuse me. I shouldn’t have said that. The Liberals are calling to bring the troops home before the job is finished. And yet the cry of the military is, “We’ve got to deploy more.” Even some of the big Generals are saying it is not going to be won this way. It’s going to take more.”
I could say some things, but I won’t. Because the army has a history of sending certain ones in ahead of time. Very sad, really, if you think about it. They’re protecting their best soldiers at the expense of inexperienced soldiers. But that’s the way of war.
That word “deployment,” I looked it up for you. It means an extension of a battle from close order to a battle formation in lines. And it even has run its course in skirmishes and foragers who would go in and do little deeds after development has been affected.
The essence of the word “deployment” is not preparing any more. The essence of deployment is moving out in a line. You’ve already prepared. You’ve already been mobilized. You’ve already made ready for war.
You’d better hear what I’m saying. The Spirit is not saying we have more time to make ready for war. The Spirit is saying, “We’d better spread out in line and get ready to move forward.” And we’d better do it in formation. Every man leaning on his brother. The days of deployment are upon us. I’ll leave that with you. I trust that every nay-sayer will be delivered from his nay-saying. Transformed into the spirit of giant slaying.
Watch for My Coming
July 7, 2005 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Beverly Skipworth
The Spirit of the Lord is searching throughout the earth to see he who would hear His Voice, hear His calling. America, America, thy sins lie upon thee, thy judgments await thee. Blessed is he who would pull himself aside and hear the Voice of My Spirit. Yea, the hour is later, it is so late. This world is in a slumber of sin; it is as a drunken stupor. Who is he who will hear when I say the time is upon thee? Who will have an ear to hear?
I say to thee; thy time is short. Whatever thou must do, thou must do it quickly. Be not so caught up, carried away with the cares of this life, for it shall all pass away. Recognize your day, My people, My sons and my daughters, lest it slip upon you as a thief in the night. If the owner had known about the thief, he would have surely stopped him, but he caught him unaware.
So shall My coming be for those who are unprepared and unaware. It shall be, “I thought there was going to be a rapture,” and it shall have already been. The signs of the times are surely upon thee.
Look around, I say to you, “Look around.” Let him who is spiritual discern what I am saying. Shake yourself, that ye fall not into a deadly slumber of stupor. Know that My coming is upon you.
Let your hearts draw nigh to Me. Hear, My children, My beloved, My Bride. It is I, your Bridegroom, who call unto you. Prepare your hearts. Make ready for My coming. Be ye dressed in the revelation of My revealed Word. Hear, oh hear. Oh hear, My precious ones.
Know ye not I discern you? Verily, there is nothing hidden, ye are as ye lay bare before Me. Come unto Me, seek ye My face. Let Me prepare thee for the great day ahead. Let not your minds be filled with foolishness, but take ye on My mind, my thoughts. Let Me gird you with My Holiness and purity. Verily, My Bride will be perfect as I am perfect. Be ye not idle, but redeem the time wisely. I am coming, I am coming.
Will ye hear and will ye lightly brush My words aside? Know ye not your day is upon you? You have been told and told and told, the fields are white unto harvest, but where are My laborers? Where is he who would lay aside his agenda, his plans, his dreams, and take up his cross and follow Me?
I have given you mercy, much. Verily, he of whom I have given much, of him shall much be required. Who is he who would place himself in My hands and trust Me? Where is he who would have a burden for souls, more than his life?
When hell enlarges herself to swallow up more and more victims? Where is thy zeal, oh lukewarm? Repent, that I spew thee not out of My mouth. Lay aside all your differences and love you one another. I say unto you, love ye one another, or else how canst thou say thou lovest Me, if ye cannot love your neighbor, your brother or sister? Wait ye and come together. Be ye of one mind and one accord, of one vision.
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. It is by faith, but I have called you unto a higher level, a much higher level than most. I have called you, elected you, and chosen you for specific purposes. Be ye still and seek My face, that I may reveal My plan unto you. How blessed is he who would be obedient to the calling I have placed upon each. For great is his reward who would work obediently out of his love for Me.
Verily, I shall come for My Bride sooner than you think. How blessed is he who would watch this hour. Look, watch for My coming. Love My appearing. Verily, there is a work to be done and it must be done quickly, for My coming is night. I am looking, My children. I am looking. I am searching and ye shall find Me, yea, he who would seek Me with all of your heart, it is time. It is time, My Beloved. Arise, recognize all the signs of the times upon this earth. Arise, awaken, shake yourself, fall not into slumber.
Hear, hear the Voice of thy Beloved calling unto thee. I am calling, I am calling. Come, let me anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that ye may see. Let Me anoint thine ears that ye may be attuned to hear My Voice. Let Me anoint thine heart and soul, that thou mayest receive unto thee what I am saying unto thee.
Thine Hour Is Upon Thee
July 7, 2005 (Thursday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Beverly Skipworth
The Deep calls unto the Deep. Verily, who is it who will hear and awaken out of his sleep? For verily the time, the time draws near, when men’s hearts are filled with fear. I am calling, I am calling, I am calling to the sons and daughters of God who have fallen. Who will hear the deep call, call unto the soul? Arise, arise. Come unto Me and I will restore and make you whole.
Knowest thou not thy time is at hand when greater judgments will fall on this land? America, America, thou canst not repent. Thou hast rejected the blessed Word I have sent. Knowest thou not I had mercy on thee for a space of time? When thou couldest not receive My full Word and get thy life in line. Knowest thou not I have sent thee signs and wonders, even in the heavens, as the angels appeared? How many took serious warning My coming is so near?
The blessedness of My Word I began to restore, back to the old paths. That I might show much mercy and not My wrath. Where men followed the doctrines of men, where there was much confusion, and many walked in delusion. Where many often wondered which is really right?
Then I sent My Message at the evening light, to turn the hearts of the children back to the true Apostolic fathers as in the Book of Acts. My children, these are My words, my very facts. That I should have a true Church once again, that it should be as at the beginning, the original.
Who will hear the Voice of My Spirit? Who will feel the tug, the pull? Come ye back. Come ye back. Hear the cry of My Spirit. Come ye back as at the first. Come ye back unto Me, lest thou be cursed with a curse. Hear ye My Spirit. Hear My Voice. Will ye hear, will you make Me your choice?
America has known My mercy time and time again. I have spared her, I have fought for her and helped her through many things even in the midst of her sins. I have been merciful, in recognition of those who are Mine. I have spared her time after time.
But, oh America, what is this thou hast done? What is this My eyes do see? Oh, she has so fallen deeply in sin, and turned away from Me. I say unto My precious Bride; your hour is so near. As I view America, My eyes are so full of tears. How far, how far she has delved into sin, a land I have so blessed. But now great judgments await thee on the north, east, south and west. Judgments as have never been, or never more shall be for the sin, for the sins thou hast committed before Me.
Yea, it is time, the day and the hour. It shall reach all those whom I have called, and fill them with My Holy Ghost power. Do not fear, little Bride, I hear the cries and the callings of your heart. O, hear you, come unto Me. I say, come unto Me into the shelter of My safety and love. To you I embark. For judgment shall follow judgment, as all creation cries out to Me for the manifestation of the sons of God. I am calling unto you to come forth in My likeness, and in My power of My Spoken Word on this earth you now trod. The time, the day, the hour, a quick work must be quickly done.
Take this Word I have given you and run. Do you hear the Words I bid you? Stir yourself, loose yourself from all that detains you and pursue what I have called you to do. Watch! I say, “Watch.” The watchman on the wall doth watch. Watchman, what of the night?
The flashing red light of His coming, the birth pains, all creation groaning on this new day dawning. Revival, My Bride. Revival. It is on the horizon before My final arrival. This is your day. This is your hour. Be ye filled, consumed by the Spirit of My Power.
Great stirring, great stirring. Arise, I’m calling unto you, My Beloved, to their hearts and souls. Prepare your wedding garment that we may be wed. For I’ve gone on a journey, and will shortly return. Oh, My Beloved, how with eagerness for you My heart doth yearn. Be ye prepared quickly, for thine hour is upon thee. How blessed are they who are waiting and watching for Me.
Prepare, for the hour of greatest battle is upon thee, such an hour as thou shalt see. The enemy has planned a strategic warfare. But remember, My Bride, I am with thee, I shall be there. But as the woman gave forth birth to a Man-child, so shall it be. And all the demon powers of hell cannot stop thee.
For I call forth for that Word I have placed in thee. Come forth into the earth. Spread ye forth; new birth. “Go ye forth, My Word. South, east, north, west. Go ye forth to all. Accomplish My purposes, possess.”
Holy Ghost, go reach forth to all those who are Mine, whom I have chosen before the beginning of time. This is My time. This is My hour, when I shall prepare and fill with My Holy Ghost power. This is My time when I shall go forth throughout all the earth to find, to reach my predestinated seed. My Spirit doth hover, He doth draw them all as one unto Me. Throughout the earth as one, as one, as one, until the Bride and the Spirit say, “Come.”
Be Obedient to My Word
July 27, 2005 (Wednesday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Aleta Ellsworth
This world has not seen what I will do to My Bride. Be obedient. [Unclear audio] I’m going to dwell in thee. I will use you in a mighty way. [Unclear audio] Be obedient to My Word. For I love thee. You are My Bride. I will use you. Be yielded to Me [Unclear audio]
Now Is the Time
July 27, 2005 (Wednesday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Adelaida Vidal & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Yea, for I shall begin to change your vocabulary, saith the Lord. Yea, you shall begin to express yourself in different ways with different words, saith the Lord. For yea, I say unto thee, across this world in churches, yea, I hear people. Yea, and I hear their words, and I see that many of them are stuck in the past. And many of them are looking too far in the future.
But yea, I the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, My Bride shall not be stuck in yesterday. Nor shall she only dream for tomorrow. But I shall have a people in this hour that will declare the “now” of the Lord. Yea, I shall have a people that will declare what I am doing. Not what I have done, or what I will do, but I shall cause My Bride to prophesy, to declare, to testify that I am doing it.
For the Lord would say unto thee, tomorrow is not the chosen hour. But the chosen hour is today. The Lord would say unto thee, shake yourself and check your words. For I have spoken unto thee even tonight so that you would quit putting this that I have desired to do for another day, for another hour.
For yea, even this is the day of maturity, saith the Lord. Even this is the day of manifestation. Yea, even this is the day, saith the Lord, that I am fulfilling My Word. Not, “I’m going to do it,” but I am doing it even in your midst. Yea, I shall anoint your eyes, and many of you will experience scales falling from your eyes that have caused you not to be able to regard what I am doing, as you have dreamed what I have done, as you have dreamed what I would do.
But yea, in this hour I shall remove the scales from your eyes, and you shall begin to declare with faith what I am doing even in the midst of thee, and for My Bride around the world. For this is the time, this is the hour. Check your words. For I say unto thee, the Living God is searching even those that are Mine.
Yea, the Lord would say, the enemy is standing ready to affect your attitude, to hinder your spirit, and to cause you to declare things that I am not declaring. And if you find yourself saying what was, and what is going to be, yea I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee this night, change your vocabulary. For I am not having you, it is not My desire that you would speak in the past tense, or even in the future tense. But I am calling you forth in this hour to declare the present tense, My now will, My will for today, for it is even happening among you this night, saith the Lord.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. My. Hallelujah. We reach up for it. We reach up for it, Lord. Check us. Yes, check us. Check our spirits. Holy Ghost, check our words. Holy Ghost, we submit to You. Oh yes. I don’t want to say this. I have a Word from the Lord that I don’t want to deliver, but I’m going to obey God and take my chances because I know it’s Him.
The Lord wants me to declare tonight, “Don’t think that your place in this secure, as though God can’t do it without you. I feel the Lord would have me to say that this narrowing down is not about age. If it was one time about a generation that had brought a negative report, and a whole generation. Not just, not just the ten spies. They died immediately with the plague, but the whole generation that they were called out of. The whole generation perished, and their bones fell in the wilderness. This is not about age, now. It’s not even about a particular generation, but it’s about having an ear to hear.
You may be old, but you’re getting in the Spirit what God’s doing right now. That makes you very much a part of it. But I felt a real warning in my spirit. And I hate to say this. Oh my. I would not want to say it, but I feel I must say it. “Don’t be so secure in your place that you boast, or that you miss that place of softness, walking softly in your place, in your place, before God. Because I felt the Lord saying. I felt Him saying very strongly that the same God who knew how to hide a generation in the grave, He knows how to hide us out of the way.
And this is very serious, you know, because this is the time that God is doing it. And I just felt very clear that I needed to declare that we should all watch our spirits very carefully because there is a generation who will step into this, as sure as we’re standing here tonight. But we don’t need to think that we’re going in by association, because you can miss it too. That doesn’t mean you’re not a child of God. It doesn’t mean you’re not a part of the Bride of Christ. There are people that are part of the Bride that are dying all over the world. God’s taking people home, young and old that belong to Him.
Now are we saying they’re not a part of the Bride? No, they are a part of the Bride, but they may not be a part of what God is about to do right now. So we should walk very softly before Him and find our place and walk in it, so that we can all, young, old, medium age, wherever we are. I’m going to even say, hot, cold, lukewarm, you know, because we’re not all where we need to be. But God knows who we are and what our part is. And we want to walk softly. Hallelujah.
I hope you don’t misunderstand. Hope you don’t misunderstand. God wants to use you. He wants you to be a part. But He knows how to step over your carcass to do His will. Hear me. “God knows how to step over your carcass to go forth and do His will.” Somebody hear the Lord.
Let’s get in like we never got in before. Hallelujah. Wonderful is the Lord. Let’s check our vocabulary. Let’s watch how we speak and let’s just start declaring, “Now is the time. Now is the time. Now is the time. Now is the time.” If we don’t start declaring, “Now is the time,” then when the time unfolds before us, we won’t know it. We won’t recognize it. Hallelujah. “Now is the time.”
I don’t know if you’re with me or not. I can’t help that. “Now is the time.” Hallelujah… Not “going to be,” but is. This is the Message. Oh yes, this is the Message of the hour. That’s why the prophet kept telling us, “It’s in you right now.”
You know he talked about that great Lake Superior, or whatever the lake was. And he said, “You know, a storm will get on that lake out there, and the waves will get to dashing and splashing around.” And he said, “It’ll be like a real revival going on out there in the middle of the lake. It’s a storm, but it’ll be kicked up and it’ll look like it’s a real revival.”
And you know what he said, “Not one extra drop of water is added to that lake to make that big old storm out there.” He said, “And not one thing in that sense is changed. It’s just God stirring up what’s already there.” Huh? We’re not looking for one more drop, like a lot of people are, because we know by the Word it’s been sown into us already. We’re just waiting on that hour.
And you know, it’s like Brother Branham told them. He said, “One of these days you’re going to speak the right word. One of these days you’re going to speak the right word.” And I believe the little Bride, one of these days it’s going to say the Word, and it’s going to activate every promise that’s been sown into us by the Word of the Lord. Hallelujah. It makes me want to talk. Oh hallelujah. It makes me want to prophesy. It makes me want to declare so that we can come to that place of agreement with God in the Spirit.
Final Harvest Cycle
July 30, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given by Sister Aleta Ellsworth, Read by Brother Kary Payne
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The Lord gave this to one of the sisters.
Have I not spoken to you that I will bring My chosen from the four corners of this earth? Can you see that I have begun that work? And I will continue to bring those seventy that I have chosen. They will be a part of the quick short work that I will do in the earth. This is the final harvest cycle.
Watch and be ready, for I will show you great things, and I will reveal the things that will prepare you to be used by Me. This is the hour that all of those who have gone on before you are waiting for. They stand waiting for the manifestation of My sons and daughters. Step out and be used by Me. Know that this is the Lord, your God, speaking and calling you. Do not fear, for I have chosen you and I am with you. Thus Saith the Lord. Hallelujah.
The Evening Shadows Falling
July 30, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Sister Aleta Ellsworth
I wanted to thank the Lord too for all the things He’s done tonight. And I was going to share something the Lord showed me in a little vision. I saw… I’ve been going through some hard times, real hard times.
And it was in a service here one night I saw a big hill, really steep hill. And I saw some of us walking. But I saw them from the back. But they were almost to the top of the hill. And the Lord spoke and said, “Going down is a lot easier than going up.” We’re almost over that hill.
And I just believe that everybody’s been battling. The devil’s been after some sickness and just everything. And I know he’s frightened because he knows he doesn’t have much time. And in that little vision I saw it was getting dark. I could see shadows. And I thought, “Why?” I thought that strange. And I remember Brother Branham talking about the evening shadows falling, and how it was late. And it’s late in the hour.
And it encouraged me. I know that we’re on the way down, the downhill is going to be a lot easier. And I just praise the Lord and thank Him for it.
I Will Not Withhold Myself
July 31, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I heard the Spirit saying, “I will not withhold Myself from you.” I will not withhold Myself from you. I felt the Lord wooing us, calling us, as His Beloved. He said, “Nothing good would He withhold from His people.”
I heard the Spirit saying, “I will not withhold Myself from you.”
Birth Pains in Zion
July 31, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Spiritual Song given by Brother Shelley
There are birth pains, birth pains in Zion.
Zion is having birth pains.
There’s going to be a delivery upon Mount Zion,
Way up on the Mount Zion.
There shall be deliverance, deliverance in Zion.
Even tonight, oh yes, even tonight.
Deliverance in Zion even tonight.
Deliverance in Zion.
I see her contracting, contractions on Mount Zion.
There’s going to be deliverance even tonight.
Even tonight. Even tonight.
Deliverance in Zion even tonight.
I see those contractions in the pyramid of Zion,
in the pyramid Mount Zion.
We’re getting ready, oh, the Bride is getting ready.
We’re watching and waiting, even preparing
Yes, the Bride is getting ready to receive our Capstone.
I hear the Headstone crying.
I hear the Capstone crying,
He’s crying, G__race.”
Can’t you hear Him crying, Grace.”
Oh, I hear Him crying Grace, grace…”
The Headstone crying G__race…
The Capstone crying G__race.”
Deliverance in Zion even tonight. Yes, even tonight.
G__race, grace, grace, grace,”
I hear Him crying, Grace, grace. Grace, marvelous grace.”
Positioning Things in Order
August 1, 2005 (Monday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I feel led of the Holy Ghost to declare something that’s in my spirit since Sunday morning. It’s still in my spirit just now.
I sensed Sunday morning and again in this service and several times in between, that God even now is positioning (excuse me…) positioning everything in order, laying such a beautiful framework and a foundation.
I saw it even deeper than that. I saw it like a bridge. And in the Spirit… I mentioned this to my wife the other night in bed… In the Spirit tonight, I sense again this bridge that God is stretching out. And I see that it has lots of different implications and meanings.
But the root of it, the summary of it is, God is placing each gift in this hour in its place to launch what it is that He has desired to launch forth. And even little gifts in your life that have not come to their fruition, I see God is just getting ready to pull those little gifts into their place. Hallelujah.
You’re going to have to be careful that you don’t operate in jealousies because God’s getting ready to establish what people’s jobs are in this thing that God’s about to do. And when God starts doing that, you’ve got to be careful that you don’t feel like somebody’s stepping on your little territory, but you just start watching God place people and gifts in the right place, the framework, the foundation, even making the bridge to span the chasm, the gap, that that’s missing, that element in the Spirit that’s been missing. I see God laying the bridge. (Tongues)
If God should call you… as I used to hear old-timers say, “I don’t care if I’m the toenail, as long as I’m part of the Body.” Just let me be a part of the Body. Just let me be a part of what the Spirit of God is doing.
Oh, I just see that God’s even using the streaming to pull gifts together. (Tongues) There’s even been people that have been afraid to leave their places, their country, their home because they didn’t want to forsake the lost in that place and didn’t want to forsake the calling of God. But I just see that the Lord is getting ready to position some gifts together for the launching of that, that He said He was going to do.
Reach Out Your Hand
August 6, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Betty Omilian
Doest thou know the love of God? Reach thine hand out to you. Take your hand, show you His love for you.
Do Not Delay
August 6, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Beverly Skipworth
Trouble, anguish, pain, delay, delay, delay, delay. What excuse will you use next? Don’t delay this night. This is your night. Reach out. Reach out. I tell you, My precious one, reach out.
Reach Out
August 6, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given Sister Beverly Skipworth
…You can be free. All you have to do is just reach out, for I am reaching out to you, My precious one. Reach out. This is your night. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out, for My arms are stretched out to you, My precious one. I love you. I love you. Do you know I love you?
Bringing People In
August 7, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’m getting a very strong impression from the Lord that we’re getting ready to see again what we saw some years ago – God speaking to people in different places and bringing them here.
I have to be honest with you and tell you that that’s not the desire of my flesh. Because, as I’ve told you before, more people – more problems, few people – few problems.
But I’m getting that same impression tonight that we’re getting ready to experience another wave of God bringing people here to stand with us. My spirit is excited because we need help. We need financial help to do what God has called us to do and we need brothers and sisters with gifts and talents to help us do what we have to do and do it well.
The King’s business requires haste and it requires the best. If we can’t give God the best, we need to work it out so that we can start giving Him the best of all that we do.
And I just get the sense, and I wanted to declare it, that God’s getting ready to bring some more people to us that will help us to do the work of the Lord.
Unlocking the Barnyard & Letting the Eagles Fly
August 14, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Edward Osborne
The Lord showed me a barnyard, and it was locked. It had one of those locks on that you closed a flap, and there’s a pin that goes down in the lock. And I seen the Spirit of the Lord like a white dove come down and pull that pin out, and open the door to that barn.
And when He, when the Spirit of the Lord opened the door of that barn, I seen eagles come fluttering out. All sorts of eagles, all different colors, all sorts of them just come fluttering out. And I seen them fly higher than they’ve ever flown before. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
The Breath of God
August 28, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I saw… saw the breath of God.
I saw the wind of the Spirit. It was coming from the breath of God as He was blowing against that hurricane.
I saw God blowing His breath against it. And the Word that came into my spirit was “to temper it.” And now I’m thinking in my spirit, it’s… it’s like the resistance of a magnet – that draw or that push away… You know what I’m taking about? According to the negative and the positive pole. And I saw God breathing His breath, not in the hurricane, but against it, to temper it. Hallelujah. Thank You, Jesus. (Tongues)
Lord, I thank You for it. God, I thank You, and thousands and thousands of people will thank You. Thousands and thousands of people will thank You. As sure as we’re standing here tonight, it could very likely strike and could strike hard. But I see You, oh God, as You’ve blown against it tonight. I believe it will be noticeable. And I believe it will be something significant enough that we’ll know it was You tempering it and… with mercy. Hallelujah.
Very Short Withdrawal
September 4, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I believe the Lord is showing me that the withdrawal from the Gaza is going to be very short. I believe that. I believe that the Lord has let me know that it will not be very long before they go in again and occupy the land that God has given them in the Gaza Strip.
I think it would be a waste of their time to withdraw too much from the settlements in Samaria. It would be a waste of time in finances. Because I believe that very swiftly, very quickly, God is going to do something and reverse… And it’s going to be a miracle. And everyone is going to know.
President Bush, if he’s still around, he’s going to know that God has done this, that He has turned it around.
Just Surrender
September 11, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The Holy Ghost said, “I’ve been trying to lead you. I’ve been trying to draw you. I’ve been trying to pull you closer to Me, and I keep meeting resistance. I keep meeting resistance in you.” And the Lord is saying, “Just surrender.”
You don’t have to make a big show about it. Just surrender. Just let Me draw you. (Tongues)
Changing of the Order
September 11, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I have perceived in the Spirit tonight as I was sitting over there that the order is about to change, that God is getting ready to rearrange our lives in the Spirit.
I saw that some who have lost interest are going to continue to lose interest. And sitting right beside them, others are going to pour themselves into the work of the ministry, the Kingdom of God.
And when I say “into the work of the ministry,” I don’t mean New Hope Revival Ministry as though it was the only ministry, but I mean the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I saw some who have no interest having even less interest. But I saw others who in the Spirit have been waiting for their opportunity, for their moment. And I saw the order changing.
More Tragedy
September 18, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
All I can tell you is the Spirit of the Lord prophesied in our church just a few services ago and said that… basically… I’m going to paraphrase it here… that more tragedy is going to ride in on the wings of what’s already just happened.
Deliverance from the Spirit of the Pharisee
September 18, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I prophesy to you tonight that there are some of us who have to learn some hard lessons. And we’re going to have to learn them very quickly. And because of the circumstances that God is about to bring forward in some people’s lives, they’re going to come to that high risk place where their birth is hard and it’s going to be risky and it’s going to be extreme because of how God is about to deal with some folks.
Let’s just surrender and say, “Lord, I’ll be a midwife. I’ll be a doctor. I’ll be a nurse. I’ll be an attendant. I’ll be whatever it is that You’ve called me to be in the Spirit. Just help me to walk in the Spirit and know Your will. Help me to be available when the anointing comes to help somebody to find that birth, that real change, that place where they drive their stake down and they drive it hard never to be moved again.
Lord, use us. (Tongues) Use us. How many of you know somebody that needs a birth? Blessed be the Name of the Lord. God wants to move that Pharisee spirit out of all of our lives to where we don’t trust in our religion. We don’t trust in our closet, our dress code. We don’t trust in our behaviors, our little traditions of how we do things.
But He wants to bring us to the place that we trust nothing but Him. I tell you, He won’t fail you. Everything else has the potential and the possibility of failing you. But when you lean on Him, he will never fail you. Can you say, “Amen?”
I said again and I feel like I need to say it again, God wants to deliver every one of us from the spirit of a Pharisee. Would you be willing to let the Lord do that tonight? Let all religion vanish from our lives.
Oh God, if it wasn’t for you we couldn’t get up in the morning. What good is our religion then? What good is religion when we need You, when we’re in trouble, when we’re sick. What good is tradition then? What good is lighting a candle? It’s all about the same.
What’s one tradition over another? What good does it do to light a candle or pray to Mary or do some of the crazy things that people do in Your name. It’s the same kind of spirit that gets on us where we begin to trust in our little things, our traditions. God bring us to that place of reality with You and that’s when You’re going to draw people. That’s when You’re going to draw people.
Losing the Pharisee Spirit
September 18, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I saw after that or discerned, I should say, in the Spirit that God wants us every one to lose our Pharisee spirit. Shaul had to lose his Pharisee spirit to become Paul, to do what God wanted him to do, to receive that great change. He was the most religious and perhaps the most righteous.
Maybe he wasn’t just religious. Maybe he was really righteous, so righteous that he wanted to carry out the law of Moses with such precision that when he heard about those Christians who were denying their faith, the Jews who were leaving Judaism and accepting this strange Messiah, in his desire to be righteous, in his desire to keep the law of Moses, he said, “They’ve got to die. They’ve got to die. They’re heretics.”
And it took God meeting him in a very special way. It took God meeting him in that light that knocked him off of his high horse. And he had to lose that spirit of a Pharisee. And if there’s ever been a Pharisee spirit, it’s been among the Holiness people. Amen, brother.
Because we have come to believe that our righteousness is our hair, and our dress, and we don’t wear makeup and we don’t wear jewelry and these things. These things don’t make us righteous. The only thing that makes us righteous is His righteousness. That’s right.
We choose to live this life because we believe we’ve been called to it as a special witness of being surrendered and as a disciple to Him. But it doesn’t make you holy. I see women all the time with the hair piled up on the head and when they walk out from behind the racks they’ve got on tight blue jeans and pull out a cigarette. So that don’t make her holy.
It’s how you live. It’s what your attitude is. It’s what your spirit is. And so many times we’ve gotten things out of order. I think you know me enough to know I believe that those things are necessary for those who have been called to them.
And those commandments are not grievous for those who’ve been called to them, for those who love Him. We can say, “These commandments are not grievous for me.” It’s a joy. Really. I’ve found the place in Him where it’s a joy to live a different life.
It’s a joy to be picky about my music. It’s a joy to be picky about what I watch. It’s a pleasure. I enjoy. Because I know that it’s going to make a difference in my life and more importantly even in somebody else’s life.
Spiritual Midwives to Assist in High-Risk Births
September 18, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
One of the times that I walked across the floor here at the beginning of the prayer time, I had a vision. And I saw a maternity ward. It was an old-fashioned maternity ward where there were lots of beds on one big large open room. Not like it is today. And there were curtains pulled between the beds. And I saw that it was a very serious scene that was going on in this maternity ward.
And the Spirit of the Lord said, “I will make this place like a high risk nursery. And I will cause those births, those hard births to come to pass in this place. And I will raise up…” And the Lord spoke some years ago that He would raise up. And I felt it again so real tonight, “I’ll raise up those spiritual midwives, those servants and handmaidens that have the mind of the Spirit and the gift of intercession to help bring those hard births, those high-risk births to their fruition, to their manifestation.” I believe the Lord is desiring to do great things.
Our Brother’s Keeper
September 18, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I saw God wants to use us more. And I heard this phrase from the Old Testament. And it was almost like I could hear Cain. I assume it was Cain. It was his words anyway. When he called out to God, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” And you know what the Bible said, “This blood of Abel cried out to God from the ground.” God said, “Your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.”
And I think sometime that we have misunderstood that phrase and we think that it means that we are supposed to be in somebody’s business all the time. And that’s not what it means. We’re not supposed to have our nose in somebody’s affairs all the time. That’s not what it means at all.
But I believe that it means that we really are supposed to be our brother’s keeper. And I know that we don’t have the power to keep them saved or keep them holy or keep them walking for God or serving God. But in some ways, we do have a responsibility to help keep them in accountability.
And you can’t call anybody to accountability that you can’t love. You can’t call somebody, correct somebody, try to get somebody to do like you think they ought to do if you haven’t shown and expressed love to them. They’ve got to know.
When somebody gets in my business, I’ve got to know they love me or I ain’t going to… I’ll be honest. I’m still a human. I don’t want nobody in my business unless I know they love me. And they’re trying to pray for me and help me.
And I just sense tonight that God is calling some of us to help keep our brothers and sisters. Help bring them to accountability. Not by judging or condemning or bothering them.
Can I tell you the worse thing that you could ever do to somebody when you see them down? Is to go to them and ask them if everything is alright. That is the worst thing that you could ever do for somebody who’s struggling. I don’t know what it is about those words, but I’ve had more than one person to tell me that it’s not what we want, but something just kind of rises up in you and you feel defensive.
You just feel like you want to say, “Oh, go away.” You’re real quiet and you don’t want to tell me, “amen.” But some of you are the ones that have come to me and told me how it bothers you, how you don’t know how to respond to people when they come up to you and say, “Are you alright? Is everything alright?”
There must be a better way. There must be a better way. Perhaps we could just put our arms around somebody and say, “I love you. I’m praying for you.” I know that’s what helps me. We assume sometime that people want to tell us what the problem is. And if we knew what the problem is, we wouldn’t want to hear it.
Let’s don’t assume that anybody needs us for their confidant. They know where we are. And they’re a lot more likely to confide in us they know that we love them. Amen, brother. Let’s be a little more sensitive. And when we see somebody crippled or spiritually hobbling along, lets love them first. What person in this house wouldn’t want to spare somebody from what they’ve known?
Is there anybody in here, you’ve known some things and you wouldn’t want people to know and go through and experience what you’ve experienced? Just be honest. Hold up your hand. Don’t you know that anybody in here if we’re in our right mind, we would do everything that was within our power to keep somebody from hurting the way we’ve hurt, and falling into the traps that we’ve fallen into, and surrendering to the addictions and the deceptions that the enemy has sown into our own life.
So let me give you the answer tonight. Yes, brother and sister, we are our brother’s keeper. The Holy Spirit is calling us to that place tonight. And I believe He’s going to use us in that high-risk spiritual nursery to help bring people to a real birth. Some births are easy.
Some people get jealous because some women can just lay down and have such easy deliveries. And then there are those other deliveries that drag on and the labor’s intense and the pain is extreme. And the time involved is so long. And I believe there’s some hard births that have got to come around us and they’ve got to come around us quickly. Let’s just lift our hand a moment here and ask the Lord that He would use us in these hard births.
Hidden Harvest
September 25, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just had a vision. And in that vision, I saw a beautiful fig tree. You know, the season for figs is over. But I saw a beautiful fig tree, and it had the most beautiful big leaves on it. And it was green and really full of leaves.
But as I was moving closer to it in the Spirit, there was no figs. And that doesn’t really surprise me because it’s been… oh, I guess it’s been two months since we picked the last figs off of my fig tree at home. But the other day I was in the yard and I looked up and saw… I think it was right before Sister Stacey left, I saw a big beautiful fig that was left on the tree that had just gotten ripe – only one on the whole tree.
But in this vision, I drew closer and there was an expectation in my spirit that I should receive figs, that I should receive fruit. But the thought came into my spirit, it’s not the season, it’s not the season for figs. But I just reached into the fig tree and parted the branches and the leaves began to lay back. And when they did, underneath those leaves was the harvest. I saw hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of figs filling that tree in abundance. But backing away from the tree, I couldn’t see any fruit at all.
And the Spirit of the Lord is saying, “Reach in. Reach in behind and beyond that which you see. Reach beyond the circumstances that you’re facing. For underneath those circumstances, hidden in those circumstances, is the harvest that you’ve been believing Me for. Hallelujah. Reach in.
Prove Me & See
September 25, 2005 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I kept hearing the Spirit of the Lord say, “Prove Me. I’m ready for You to prove Me. Prove Me and see. Prove Me and see.” Hallelujah. God said in His Word, “I want you to put Me to the test.”
You know, that doesn’t sound Christian, but it’s the Word of God. He said, “Prove Me now and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you don’t even have room enough to contain.”
“Prove Me. Test Me. See if I am what I’ve said I am.”
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let’s praise Him this morning. Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth as the Spirit was saying. Prove God and see if He won’t meet you at the point of your need this morning. Whatever it is, whatever you have need of, let’s prove Him a moment.
Gears Begin Moving
October 2, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying that we should prepare, that we should make great preparation. I hear the Lord saying that our preparation should not be small. It should not be something quiet. I hear the Lord saying our preparation should not be secret, it shouldn’t be done in the closets, but that we should make great preparation, big preparation for our ministries, big preparations in the Spirit to lay our lives open before the Lord – more open, more honest.
We should stand more naked before Him than we have ever stood before. I hear the Lord saying that we should search our souls, our hearts, our minds, our thoughts like we have never searched them before.
For I hear the Lord saying that He’s getting ready to launch many of us into our ministries. And the Lord said, “I’m going to cause you… You know the words that I’ve already spoken to you. But I’m going to cause you with great acceleration to begin to do the things that I have called you to do.”
I’m seeing and hearing in the Spirit that the Lord is saying, you know, for me, I’m no farther than I am, but it’s taken thirty years to get here. I said, I’m no farther along than I am but it’s taken thirty years to get here. And I would hate to think that some of you would have to labor thirty years before you came into your ministry. But I hear the Lord saying it won’t be that way. I hear God saying, “That’s what the prophet was talking about when he talked about a quick short work.”
We’ve often thought it was a space of time only, that it was an amount of time. Some have even tried to compare it with the resurrection and say that it would only be a space of about forty days or something.
We don’t have any reason to make that connection. We know that if we understand the Word and the Message right that the dead in Christ are going to raise and there’s going to be a period of time that they walk around like they did in the time that Jesus was raised from the dead.
And often the comparison has been drawn between that and the quick short work. But of late we’ve been trying to draw you away from that conclusion.
And now I hear the Spirit of God confirming tonight that it’s not even… God is not even speaking to us so much about a period of time or how long that spiritual work is going to be, but rather God is speaking to us about the swiftness that He is going to bring us to the place that He can use us.
Surely it will be a quick short space of time. But God is saying tonight by the Spirit, this is not the emphasis. It’s not whether or not it’s two weeks or a month or six months. But God said, “I’m talking in terms of a quick short work.”
And I’m saying into your spirit tonight that it’s talking about the swiftness that God is going to bring His Body to her ministry. Those of us who have hidden behind our insecurities and hidden behind this and hidden behind that, I hear the Lord saying,
“Oh, with swiftness I’m going to bring you out from behind your hiding place and launch you.”
I see the Lord giving us a shove. Many of us, the only way we’ll launch out to be obedient, the only way we’ll ever reach out to see visions, the only way we’ll ever reach out to prophesy, the only way we’ll ever reach out to be used of the Lord. . . We have gifts, but our gifts often operate quietly and hidden.
But I’m believing that God is saying tonight there’s coming a place and a time in the Spirit not far off, as Bro. Enzo cried out the other night, that God would give us liberty to be used where we’ll be able to speak. The gifts will be able to be judged on the spot, we don’t have to go hide them in a room somewhere. They can be judged by the witness of the Spirit on the spot. And the ministry… that Body ministry where everybody is flowing together.
As I said that I just saw two wheels in the Spirit. And both of these wheels had gears on them, little… What do you call it? Gears? Teeth on the wheels. And I saw them beginning to spin, and they were both spinning, seem like, of their own accord.
And I saw them just moving together. And when those two wheels began to move together, teeth began to interlock with teeth. And I saw then a change in the scene, and it wasn’t just two wheels, but a whole work – some kind of whole contraption, or the inside of a clock or something.
But I saw that those two little wheels when they were pushed together so that the teeth could meet… it put the whole thing in gear. It wasn’t just two wheels spinning but accomplishing nothing, you see, but when they’re pushed together…
I hope you can hear the simplicity of the Spirit. But when those two spinning wheels are pushed together and they catch a hold of one another, that’s the Body.
Oh, that’s how God said He placed all these things in the Body. And when they’re pushed together it just sets off a motion like a chain reaction. And it starts putting in gear everything, hallelujah, that the Spirit of God wants to be happening among us.
Remember the Word of the Lord that great change was coming as we come to the 40th anniversary of the time that God has taken His prophet away. And the Lord gave us that Word for 2005.
He gave it to us ten years ago in 1995 that great change was coming toward the end of 2005. How many of you still remember what God said? Huh?
Then we must do what the Spirit said tonight. We must make big preparation. We must make big changes, big adjustments in our life. We’ve got a lot of doors to throw open. Hallelujah. We’ve got a lot of crying out to do, a lot of shouting, a lot of worshiping, a lot of drawing close to the Spirit of God. We’ve got a lot of changes to cultivate in our own lives so that God can come in and use us for His glory.
A Setting Process
October 9, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
He said, “It’s time to cross over the line now and accept His Covenant Will for us. He’s calling heaven to witness this promise that He is making to us, and that that He is requiring of us for this new season.” He said, He would soon remove us from the oven and let us set up on the counter.”
That word set up doesn’t mean sit up on the counter. The word is set up. And the bakers will know what I mean. Anybody who bakes will know what I mean. Did you know when you’re baking something, you take it out of the oven. Many recipes call for a rest. Many recipes tell you to… Even after you’ve baked it, to let it rest, to let it set up on the counter.
And did you know that for a season after you take it out of the oven, the temperature continues to rise. Now that’s kind of amazing. When you remove something from the temperature that you’ve baked it in and it continues to rise when there’s no oven on, that’s kind of an amazing process. Did you understand what I’m saying?
Did you know that even a steak continues to cook after you take it off the grill? And that if you take its temperature, the temperature actually continues to rise as it sets on the plate for a few seconds. Because it’s a setting up process. In a cake it’s called sometimes a resting process.
I think it’s just good to know God’s going to let me spend some time out of the oven. I saw that counter like a platform. It had legs on it. And it reminded me of something that Brother Branham said when he talked about that little Bride being put on the pedestal and on display. How wonderful it would be if God would bring us to the place where He had something in us that He could display, that He could show forth.
How many of you would like to show forth something for the Kingdom of God?
A Line Drawn in the Sand
October 9, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
In the Spirit tonight that line that is being drawn by the Holy Ghost, a line being drawn. And if I hadn’t spent so much time lately studying the Torah I wouldn’t have known what it meant. But some of you will understand that that line is…
Did you, when you were preaching on covenants, brother, did you talk about the line that’s often drawn in the Middle Eastern covenant? You talked about blood, but I don’t remember if you talked about the line or not. But I assume you must have.
But I saw that line being drawn. You’ll remember there’s several places in the Bible, and it was the part of the sealing of a Middle Eastern covenant, a covenant in the time of the Bible that often a line was drawn, representing one side of the covenant on one side of the line, the other party in the covenant on the other side of the line. And they would cross over the line, just step over the line. And when they were doing that, it was a symbol of that that was between them. And it was a symbol of accepting the terms of the contract.
You’ll remember there was a time that death was breaking out. Do you remember that? Death was breaking out as a plague on the people, and God said that a torch should pass between the people. And everybody on one side of the line of where that torch passed, the plague dried up. And those on the other side were perishing. I saw it like…
I saw the line, and then I saw, (it sounds strange) but I saw what looked like roast, pieces of meat. I wrote it down, sitting. You know I want to say, I want to say, “Butt to butt.” I want to say, “Butted up against one another.” But I know it wasn’t pork I was seeing, so we won’t say it that way. But it was like roast. Pieces, big pieces of meat lined up across that line.
First a line, and then I saw those big plump pieces of meat lined up along that line. And I’ll talk to you a little bit later about it with some Scripture. But it represented the sacrifices. And we know that we’re not giving those kinds of sacrifices to God. He wouldn’t have them from us if we tried to give them to Him. He wouldn’t take our meat offering. If we killed the lamb and brought him a lamb, He wouldn’t receive it from us.
How many of you know that? If we brought Him the roast, the best of the cow, and laid it down before Him, He wouldn’t take it because it would be a shame for Him to take it because He has become that sacrifice. And what did He say to us? Our service to the Lord is not sacrifice. Our service to God is not about sacrifice, it’s about what? It’s about obedience.
Our service to the Lord is not about sacrifice, but our service to the Lord in this hour is about what? It’s about obedience. God even said one time, “I’ve despised these offerings because they were brought to me out of obligation, with a lack of sincerity of the heart.” And He said, “It’s just putrefying, it’s just stinking in my nostrils. It’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for those who will obey Me.”
To obey the Lord is better than sacrifice. Saul grabbed a hold of his collar and he said, “I have obeyed the Lord.” “Where have you been?” “Oh, I’ve been down obeying the Lord.” Remember? “Where have you come from?” “Oh, I’ve just come from obeying the Lord.” He was either lying or he had fooled himself into believing a lie.
He either premeditated a lie, or he had fooled himself and he was telling his concept of the Truth. I really believe that Saul, though it was a lie what he said, he was telling his concept of the truth. He thought he had obeyed the Lord. But he had obeyed the Lord in his terms. He killed what he wanted to kill, and he kept the best. And he made the excuse, “I’m going to give it to the Lord. I kept the best, Agag the king.”
How many of you know what a terrible decision that was? If you’ve read, if you’ve read the stories of Esther, Hadassah, you’ve read some of those concepts of it. And you know it was a terrible mistake to save Agag alive. We don’t know if all those speculations of how if all came down are exact or not, but we do see clearly in the Bible that these sons, these descendants caused a lot of trouble to the people of God.
But he said, “I’ve kept the best.” Because the prophet said, “If you’ve been down there obeying the Lord, what meaneth the bleating of the sheep in my ear? What is this I’m hearing now?” “Oh yes, yes. Yes, that’s the sheep. But we have kept the best to give as a sacrifice to the Lord.”
And the Lord said through the prophet, “Obedience. To obey is better than sacrifice.” When God by… (I won’t take long. I purposed I wouldn’t. I broke too many visions in this service already tonight to keep from going so long. And I’ll explain that in a moment.)
But when God comes by the Spirit and draws a line in the sand, He’s presenting to us a covenant. He’s presenting to us a way of life. He’s presenting to us a choice. And He is saying, “You can stay on your side of the line, or you can come to My side. You can cross over that line and enter into covenant agreement with me tonight.”
I’m more or less talking about that that God is going to do. You see, as I was sitting there tonight I saw that line. I heard the Voice of the Lord. And He said these words, “I’m pleased.” Now when I look around in the flesh, I don’t… You know, we’re looking with eyes of the flesh. We don’t see so much for God to be pleased with in us, to be honest. Any of us. But God said, “I’m pleased.”
And I sat there searching the Spirit. “Lord, what are You pleased about? What has brought You pleasure? What are You pleased about?” And He spoke so sweetly to my spirit that we have pleased Him because we have stretched ourselves beyond tradition, and we’ve made a good decision. And God said, “I’m going to use the decision of rearranging your services because it requires more than a change of times. It requires a change of our lives.”
And what God is saying is, “it’s not only a change of turning on the lights, but it requires a change of our lifestyle.” God’s pleased with that. I said, “He’s pleased with that.” And God just, He so confirmed to me by the Holy Ghost, sitting there, that this was a prophetic act. By rearranging our life a little bit, by rearranging our services…
But oh, I see something tonight going into the ground. I see some bodies, some bodies, I see some people that are getting ready to cross that line and say, “I’m in. I’m in this covenant. Oh, nothing is shaking me off. You’re not going to get rid of me. Nothing is going to get me. I’m going to make up, I’m making up my mind to step across that line.”
He said, “Tonight I’m calling heaven to witness the line that’s being drawn.” And you know that wouldn’t have meant anything to me a few years ago. I wouldn’t have known what it meant. But if you read the portion, if you read the Parsha for last week, you read where Moses by the inspiration of God said almost that very same thing. “Heaven is a witness.” And what was heaven witnessing? Heaven was witnessing the decision that that second generation of Israelites were making.
They were deciding whether or not to join in the covenant that God had made with their parents who had died in the wilderness. And Moses said, “Heaven is the witness.” That’s good. I wouldn’t have known what that meant. But I heard the Spirit say, “Heaven is witnessing. I’m calling heaven to witness tonight that a decision is being made.”
He spoke to me about the Seven Thunders, sitting there. Clearly. Four, five times I felt myself moving into vision again. I broke the vision and I’ll now tell you why. Because I sensed that if I yielded, it would have taken us into a long meeting, longer than what we’ve been in. And I sensed in my spirit that God was just preparing me for something.
I want to say this again. You’re tired of hearing it. I want to say again, “I believe that it’s very near. I believe it’s very near that God is going to show us something that we’ve been praying about. I believe it’s very near. I believe that I could say that it could have been tonight. But I do not believe that it’s a part of what we known on this side of that line.
I believe that it is a part of what we’re going to know on the other side of that line. Hallelujah. Now you better make up your mind to get over there where He is. If there is resistance in your spirit, you’d better lay it down. If there is slackness in your spiritual life, you better lay it down. If you’re still full of argument and criticism, you better lay it down.
I Will Make New
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Edward Osborne
For I the Lord have set this hour and this time, and I seek such to worship Me in Spirit and in Truth. I seek such to follow after My Word and step into a higher calling in this hour. I seek such to walk through that door of deliverance and go on into a higher calling and a higher purpose that I have called them to, saith the Lord. And I will restore and make new in this hour. This is the third day; I say that I will make new. Not just restore, but I will make new in this hour. Thus saith the Lord.
Seeking a People to Enter into Covenant
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Aleta Ellsworth
I am seeking a people that will enter into covenant with Me, for I am the God of the covenant. As Abraham entered into a covenant with Me, so I desire a people to do the same.
Through that covenant I will make Myself known to thee. I will appear and manifest to thee on this earth as I have not manifested before. Yield and be obedient. Enter into My covenant. For I love thee. You are My people. I love you.
Weighed in the Balance & Found Wanting
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Chambers
Weighed in the balance and you are found wanting. [Unclear audio] You are weighed in the balance and you are found wanting. The Lord is [Unclear audio] somebody come up, come up, come up higher. [Unclear audio] Hallelujah. Oh yes, Lord.
We need to loose, loose, loose, loose and get [Unclear audio] where God wants us tonight. Hallelujah. Oh yes, Lord. [Unclear audio] Someone, someone, someone, someone, someone. You know yourself. You know yourself. God’s calling to somebody tonight to do something for Him. Loose yourself and do the work of God. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Jesus.
Step Out
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Jan Salvador
Step out, step out. There’s a new and fresh anointing waiting for you. Step out.
A New Day Dawning
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Reading of Vision given on October 9, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
I’m just going to read this again. I’m not going to read the next. I’m just going to read this again while you’re standing.
The sun is setting on the old order. Give it up. Give it up. A new day is dawning. It shall spring forth speedily. I shall shine My light on a new path. I shall raise up a new anointed priesthood, fully established in the old, but reaching forth into the new.
I will draw again to this place. I will gather those that are Mine. Many shall learn a new way as you give the Truth to them. That which seems old shall spring forth in you and be even as a new thing.
You shall become fully established in present Truth. It will become easier for you to turn loose of your ways and embrace My ways. Or His ways. I shall allow a season of catching up for all who so desire. It is time to cross over the line now and accept His covenant will for us.
He is calling heaven to witness His promises to us for this new season. He will soon remove us from the oven and let us set up on the counter, a raised platform. Heat will continue to rise. The temperature will continue to rise until all is set and in order.
Seven Truths will thunder forth soon. Some will be easier to grab than others. Some will push the boundaries, stretch our thinking. But all will be confirmed by His Word. They will allow, they will draw us into Him, back into His side through a narrow spear hole. They will gather a variety. They, those seven Truths, they will gather a variety of people.
Some who look right, some who don’t. Some who came from good backgrounds, holy heritages. Some who did not. Some with the background in the Message, others who have not.
Some older, more mature in the faith. Some newborns with a little self-control. Don’t worry. We will in many ways lose our seniority and move together. Then He said, “I will supply the needs.” It is the revelation of the White Eagle. And it will take us all away.
All that is foggy, misty now, will soon become crystal clear. Didn’t I promise that at the end of the year 2005 great change would come? He said, “There is such…”
I’m going to read a little more. Sorry, I said I wasn’t going to.
There is such muddy water in the prophetic movement today, across the land. But I desire to send a clean wave, another wave of glory will soon roll in. Pure, from the Throne. Waters to swim in. It will be a witness even as the two witnesses were Moses and Elijah.
Moses representing the Word, and Elijah representing the prophetic moving of the Spirit. They’re My olive branches. They’re coming. But before they come, God said, “I’m establishing that kind of order.”
Only Truth. Listen. Only Truth will unite with Truth. Oil and Water will not mix. Truth from both streams will flow together. All the way back to the Apostolic Fathers.
I’m skipping something. Skipping some things. Skipping something. Skipping something.
God said, “I’m going to release the Manna that’s been stored up. Do not be afraid.” God said it’s going to produce a change of vocabulary. That’s what I prayed for many times. And then tonight sitting there I saw a healing river again, flowing out from the base of the altar, flowing out from the Temple down into the Valley of Death and hell. Purifying, clean, clear water flowing right into the midst of a black sick looking pool of water, full of trash etc.
But the clean water was pushing back the old dirty water, pushing it out and down into the riverbed, bringing life, exceeding and abundant life. I saw waves of Glory and showers of blessings. And I heard the Spirit saying over and over again, “Waves of Glory and Showers of Blessings. Waves of Glory and Showers of Blessings.”
I do not shudder or fear to stand here and prophesy waves of Glory and showers of blessings. I don’t mind to do that because I know that God wants to bless those who walk in Truth. I know God loves Holiness. Amen.
And we’re not prophesying prosperity upon a backslid sick church world. But we’re prophesying blessing, waves of Glory and showers of blessings on those who are willing to step across the line and be identified with the covenant that God is making with His people.
He said. The last thing He said to me in the Spirit was, “My order is being revealed. Who will hear it? Who will know it? Who will obey it? And who will walk in it?
My answer is. “I will. I will. I will. I will.” It must be that way.
New Eyes to See
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just saw a vision. And in that vision, I saw an eye surgery taking place. But it wasn’t gory. Evidently it was being done with a laser because I could see this little tiny penetrating light going over the eye. And I saw it tracing out a circle. And I saw something being removed. It appeared that the transplant of a lens was taking place, that a lens was being removed and another lens was being put in.
And I hear the Spirit of God saying, “I will give you new eyes. Some of you cannot continue with old eyes.” You’re going to have to let the Holy Ghost give you that eye transplant.
He said, “I’ll show you the Word like you’ve never seen it before. I’ll take old dusty phrases that have passed you by, and I shall give you great understanding and the Revelation of that Word shall strengthen you. Because of it, you shall enter in and stand before My Throne and worship Me. Give you new eyes to see.
Too long you’ve been looking at things your way, and your way hasn’t produced very much. God said, “It’s time to look through My eyes. It’s time to look with My eyes and see.” Oh, I hear You. I hear You.
The Lord said, “Sometimes I hear your conversation, and I hear the things you say. And I grieve because I know that you’re not looking at them with My eyes, you’re looking at situations with your own eyes, and you call them like you see them.”
But God said, “I am ready. I am more than ready to give you My eyes, to let you see with the eyes of the Spirit, and begin to describe what you see. Not in the natural, but in the spiritual. All that that looks so bleak and so skinny and so meager, so frail in the natural, it’s nice and fat in the spiritual. Hahaha.
God said, “You have seen those skinny cows, those lean years. And I’m getting ready to show you the fat cows. I’m getting ready to show you those years of harvest and abundance. Fat cows instead of skinny cows.”
The New Order
October 15, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The sun is setting on the old order. Give it up. Give it up. A new day is dawning. It shall spring forth speedily. I shall shine My light on a new path, and I shall raise up a new anointed priesthood, fully established in the old, but reaching forth into the new.
It’s Bible. Ezekiel talked about the Zadok priesthood that follows the Levitical order of priest. When that order is finished, a new order comes forth for the new Temple. In the new Temple in Jerusalem it will not be a priesthood ran after the order of the Levitical priesthood.
The Bible clearly tells us through the prophet Ezekiel that the new priesthood will operate under the order of Zadok. And here’s what the Spirit said, “…reaching forth into the new.” He said, “I will draw again to this place. I will gather those that are Mine. Many shall learn a new way. As you give the Truth to them, that which seems old shall spring forth in you and be even as a new thing.
As you give the Truth to others, it’ll spring forth in you and be a new revelation. “You shall become fully established in the present Truth. It will become easier for you to turn loose of your ways and embrace His ways.” He said, “And I shall allow a season of catching up for all who so desire.”
Hallelujah. Is there anybody that desires catching up?
Oh, refresher courses, Lord, to help us. “Seven Truths will thunder forth soon. Some will be easier to grab than others. Some will push the boundary and stretch our thinking, but all will be confirmed by His Word. They will draw us into Him, back into His side through a narrow spear hole.
“These Truths, these seven Truths, will gather a variety of people – some who will look right, some who won’t, some who came from good backgrounds, holy heritages, some who did not, some with a background in the Message, others who do not, some older, more mature in the faith, some newborns with little self-control.
Don’t worry,” the Spirit said. We will in many, many ways lose our seniority and move together in equality. Then He said, “I will supply the needs. It is the revelation of the White Eagle. And it will take us all the way.
“All that is foggy and misty now will soon become crystal clear. Didn’t I promise that at the end of the year 2005 great change would come?
There is such muddy water in the prophetic movement today across the land. But I desire to send a clean wave. Another wave of glory will soon roll in – pure, from the Throne, waters to swim in. It will be a witness even as the Two Witnesses were Moses and Elijah – Moses representing the Word and Elijah representing the prophetic moving of the Spirit.
“They’re My olive branches. They’re coming. But before they come,” God said, ‘I’m establishing that kind of order.’” “Only Truth… (Listen.) Only Truth will unite with Truth. Oil and Water will not mix. Truth from both streams will flow together – all the way back to the Apostolic Fathers.”
God said, “I’m going to release the Manna that’s been stored up. Do not be afraid.” God said, “It’s going to produce a change of vocabulary.” (That’s what I’ve prayed for many times.)
And then tonight, sitting there, I saw a healing river again, flowing out from the base of the altar, flowing out from the Temple down into the Valley of Death and hell – water flowing right into the midst of a black, sick-looking pool of water, full of trash, etc. “The clean water was pushing back the old dirty water, pushing it out and down into the riverbed, bringing life, exceeding and abundant life.
“I saw waves of Glory and showers of blessings. And I heard the Spirit saying over and over again, ‘Waves of Glory and Showers of Blessings. Waves of Glory and Showers of Blessings.’”
I do not shudder or fear to stand here and prophesy waves of Glory and showers of blessing. I don’t mind to do that because I know that God wants to bless those who walk in Truth. I know God loves holiness. Amen.
Purifying, clean, clear… And we’re not prophesying prosperity upon a backslid sick church world. But we’re prophesying blessing – waves of Glory and showers of blessings – on those who are willing to step across the line and be identified with the Covenant that God is making with His people. He said…
The last thing He said to me in the Spirit was, “My order is being revealed. Who will hear it? Who will know it? Who will obey it? And who will walk in it?” And answer is, “I will. I will. I will. I will.” It must be that way. God is doing something.
Net Going Forth in the Spirit
October 18, 2005 (Tuesday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just saw a net, a large net being thrust upward, and spreading out over this congregation, and falling. And I knew in my spirit that it’s a symbol of a net that’s going forth in the Spirit in this hour. I believe God’s going to use some very simple words, very simple things in the ministry in Iceland as we go. And through the streaming, and through the different means, very simple things like nets going forth. (Tongues)
Oh Lord, I do care. I care. Oh God, I care. Oh God, I care. (Tongues.)
Fully Established in Present Truth
October 24, 2005 (Monday Evening)
Reading of Prophetic Word given on October 9, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Read by Brother Shelley
He said, “The sun is setting on the old order. Give it up. Give it up. A new day is dawning. It shall spring forth speedily. I shall shine My Light on a new path. I shall raise up a new anointed priesthood, fully established in the old. But reaching forth into the new.
I will draw again to this place. I will gather those that are Mine. Many shall learn a new way as you give the Truth to them. That which seems old shall spring forth in you and be even as a new thing.
You know, that just makes sense to me. When God gives you an opportunity to share the Word with somebody, even though you’ve known it and it’s been in you all along, it just gets new again when you get to tell somebody else.
He said, “You shall become fully established in present Truth. It will become easier for you to turn loose of your ways and embrace His ways. “I shall allow a season of catching up for all who so desire. It is time to cross over the line now and accept His covenant will for us. He is calling heaven to witness His promise to us for this new season.
He will soon remove us from the oven and let us set up on the counter. The heat will continue to rise, but… I’ve explained that to you already. Seven Thunder Truths will come forth soon. Some will be easier to grab than others. Some will push the boundary, stretch our thinking. But all will be confirmed by His Word. That’s all I need. I mean, that’s all I need, Lord.
They will draw us into Him, back into His side through a narrow spear hole. They will gather a variety of people. These Truths will gather a variety of people, people who look right, some who don’t. Some who came from good background, holy heritages, some who did not.
Some with the background in the Message, others who do not. Some older, more mature in the faith, some newborns with little self-control. Don’t worry. We will in many ways lose our seniority and move together.
Maybe that’s how it was. You know Brother Branham told us in that age when we’re all gathered together, the Bride would gather together with the messenger of each age. And I guess that’s what I expected it to be. But you know the righteous dead are not before the Throne, they’re in the Presence of God. But they’re not, they’re not before the Throne.
How many of you understand that? One day all the redeemed of the Lord are going before the Throne. Together we’re going to go in with Him and live with Him forever. But where He is higher in the Spirit. That’s exactly how it was, it was bearing out in this vision. But I expected it kind of to be, it would be the believers of the Message gathering in… You know, gathered with the messenger of the age. But not now. Not right now.
Because I saw those who walked in the Message, and those who didn’t. They were all together in one group. It just seemed to be the ones that I was familiar with. And they were all together. And even Brother Branham was right in the crowd. He didn’t stand out.
There was a very important man of God, but he didn’t stand out above anybody else. He was just standing right in there with the believers. That will upset some people, but it’s just the way it was.
And even Sister Ruth. God used her as an important prophetess, a missionary to the nations. And she was just right in the crowd. I wouldn’t have even seen her, but she called out. And when I did, I turned and I pictured her. I could see her head and shoulders in the crowd.
I like that. We must be going to practice before we get there, losing some of our seniority. Is that all right with you? You know what? I really don’t matter whether it is or not. God’s not asking our permission. He’s just going to change us.
He said, “In many ways we’ll lose our seniority.” He said, “Remember, I will supply the needs. The White Eagle Revelation will take us all the way.” All that is foggy and misty now will soon become crystal clear. A great change at the end of 2005.
There is such muddy water in the prophetic movement today. I desire to send a clean wave, another wave of Glory will soon roll in, pure from the Throne. Waters to swim in. It’ll be like the ministry of Moses and Elijah. Moses typing the Word, Elijah typing the Spirit. They were the two witnesses.
Only Truth will unite with Truth. Oil and water will not mix. The Truth from both strings will flow together all the way back.” Skipping, skipping, skipping. Not back to Church Fathers, but to the faith that was once delivered to the saints. Apostolic faith is the faith of Moses. They’re cheering us on. God said, “I’m going to release the Manna that’s stored up. Do not be afraid. I’m enlisting an army of volunteers. I’m requiring a change of vocabulary.”
I saw that healing River flowing out from the base of the altar, flowing out of the temple, down into the valley of death and hell. Purifying, clean clear water flowing right in the midst of a black sick water, full of trash. Causing the old dirty water to be pushed back, and down the riverbed, bringing life, exceeding abundant Life. Waves of Glory, showers of blessing. My order is being revealed. Who will hear it? Who will know it? Who will obey it? Who will walk in it? “I will. I will.”
Two More Years in Jerusalem
November 19, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And I was sitting here a few weeks ago, and the Spirit of God began to talk to me. And I began to write it down.And one of the things He said was,
“I want you to do what you’re doing in Jerusalem for at least two more years.”
I mentioned that.That’s a very hard thing for me because financially,if we could take the money that we’re investing in Jerusalemand apply it to the ministry now, we wouldn’t be hurting for anything. We would be able to pay all of our bills on time and improve our equipment.
But sitting right there on the platform, God said,“I want you to do exactly what you’re doing for at least two more years.”
And I said, “Lord, even in the apartments?” He said, “Even in the apartments.”
This Is the Day, When I Will Do
November 19, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Spiritual Song given by Brother Shelley
“This is the day,
this is the hour,
this is the time…
(Hallelujah)
when I will do,
when I will do,
when I will do.
(Hallelujah)
“This is the day,
this is the hour,
This is the time_,_
when I will do,
when I will do,
when I will do,
hallelujah,
when I will do (Lord, yes),
when I will do,
when I will do.
“So meet My promise,
meet My promise,
meet My promise.”
Lord, we want to meet Your promise.
“Come meet My promise,
meet My promise,
come meet My promise,
then I will do,
then I will do,
then I will do,”
(Hallelujah)
then I will do,
then I will do,
then I will do,
then I will do,
then I will do,
then I will do,
(Yes. Sing that one more time.)
then I will do,
then I will do,
then I will do.”
Lord, we just prepare our lives before You tonight. God, You’ll have to show us. We may not be creative enough on our own to know everything, You would have us to do to prepare ourselves to meet Your promise.
But if You’ll lead us by the Holy Ghost, if You’ll lead us by Your Spirit, we’ll tune in our ear. Hallelujah. We’ll try to walk soft before You. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. (Tongues) Hallelujah, hallelujah…
As a prophetic act, I want to act those of you who can, it’ll be easy for you to do it… If it will be easy for you to do it and if it would not be something against your personal conviction… If it’s against your personal conviction, then I wouldn’t want you to do it. Or if it’s going to be a terrible time getting them back on, then I don’t want you to do it.
I’m not asking you. Please don’t. But if it’s easy for you to slip out of your shoes, would you do that just a moment with me? If it’s easy… If it’s not, it’s not.
“I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord.” I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord. (Tongues)
“Oh, guard my heart, guard my heart, guard my heart.” Yes, Lord. “Guard my heart, please guard my heart, guard my heart.
“I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord. “Watch my lips, help me watch my lips, watch my lips.”
“I will walk soft (yes, Lord), I will walk before You, Lord.”
You know how you have to walk… You know how you have to walk when you have children. You know how you have to walk when you have children and the light is off if you don’t want to step on Legos. Then you just make your steps a little softer without putting all your weight down because you don’t want to break your foot on a Playmobile cowboy or a Lego block. I used to say they were of the devil. But I can’t hardly say that now. You know how you would walk.
“I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord. I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord. I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord. I will walk soft, I will walk soft before You, Lord.”
I want you to do one other little prophetic act with me before we go. I want you to make some circles – brothers in a circle, sisters in a circle. But you’ll have to make more than one circle, especially the sisters will have to.
And I want you, as much as possible, to get shoulder to shoulder in the circle with your arms around each other’s necks, your shoulders as close as possible to each other as you can get.
This is a prophetic act to remind us that we are a team in the Spirit. May God just put us together like a successful ball team. And you know how I feel about that waste of time. But the concept is something that can mean something to us in the Kingdom. Hallelujah.
Now pray one for another.
“Bind us together, bind us together, bind us together. Melt us together, Lord, melt us together, melt us together in one accord, in one accord and in one spirit, (hallelujah) in one accord, in one accord and in one spirit. (Hallelujah)
“Melt us together, Lord, melt us together, melt us together in unity, in unity, in unity, one with You, one with You and one with another. Make us one with You, Lord, make us one with You and with one another.
“We want to meet Your promise, we want to meet Your promise, we want to meet Your promise.
“We’re digging ditches, we’re digging ditches, making preparation.
“Prepare the way, (I hear the Spirit), prepare the way, prepare the way. (Yes, yes. Hallelujah.) Prepare the way, prepare the way, prepare the way. (Hallelujah)
Prepare the way, prepare the way, prepare the way.
“On holy ground, on holy ground, we stand before You. On holy ground, on holy ground, we stand before You… On holy ground, holy ground, we stand before You in unity, in unity before You, one with You, one with You, one with another. Make us one with You, one with You, one with another.
“…we spread our wings, we spread our wings. We’ll spread our wings, we’ll spread our wings, spread our wings and ride Your wind, we’ll ride Your wind, come, carry us.
“We’ll ride Your wind, ride Your wind, come, carry us. We’ll ride Your wind, ride Your wind, come, carry us. We’ll ride Your wind, ride Your wind, come, carry us. We’ll ride Your wind, ride Your wind, come, carry us. We’ll ride Your wind, ride Your wind, come, carry us.
Harvest of the Spoken Word
November 26, 2005 (Saturday Evening)

Holy God. (Tongues) We’re looking for it. In frequency and intensity, in a multiplication. We’re looking for the harvest of the Spoken Word in our lives. Hallelujah. (Tongues) We decree and declare it. We’re looking for it. We anticipate it. We ask that our eyes be anointed to see it. Let that Spoken Word be manifested in your people. In frequency and intensity.

They’re yea and amen. They’re for us. They’re ours. We’re looking for it. We’re looking for a multiplication of the Spoken Word. Greater intensity, greater frequency.

A Year of Shaking & Warning
November 27, 2005 AM (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
The natural types the spiritual. And so we’re entering into another year of great natural shakings and disasters. 2006 is going to be another year of judgment, of shaking, of warning. And God was just confirming His Word.
He said, “Places that have never known terrorism are going to know terrorism.” And you’re going to see an increase and even more of that in the year 2006.
You see, as heaven is shaking in the Spirit and this great acceleration is taking place in heavenly realms, we’re going to see the repercussions of that in the earthly realm and in this world in which we live in. We’re going to see that. We’re going to see a lot of things.
This is going to be a year of news – a year where the news is going to be busy. And they’re not going to have as much time to report on who’s breaking up with who. Like we care.
But I tell you, we’re coming into a year where the news media is going to be very busy reporting the shakings and the shiftings and the turmoils that will break out in this coming year.
They’re going to have less time. And we’re going to give that just a few months into the year. Just a few months into the year and then you’ll begin to see those things really take place as a sign that everything is shaking.
And God said, “The reason why I’m going to shake that way is because I’m going to determine what can’t be shaken. You see, I’m going to shake everything that can be shaken. And when I’m through shaking, something is going to remain.”
God said, “I’m going to find out what cannot be moved. And that which will never be moved is the kingdom of God.”
The Foundation is Solid
December 3, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Dream given to Brother Billy Tebo
But I had a dream a couple, two nights ago. And it was an old house, it was… You could tell it’s been through storms. And there were some men walking around the house and they were checking the foundation. Hallelujah.
And I heard one of them say, “The foundation is true, the foundation is solid.” Hallelujah. The foundation is solid. The foundation is solid. Hallelujah. The foundation is solid. Hallelujah. Hallelujah… The foundation is solid.
And as I was thinking on this dream, God put into my spirit. He said, “The foundation is solid and it’s time to build the house.” Hallelujah. Everything that we are moving into is what God has already been preparing us for many years.
Footsteps of Yeshua Among Us
December 10, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Sister Judith Schapals
I just want to share this. In my spirit I’ve been seeing the footprints of Yeshua, our Messiah. I know that there are a great many needs among us here in this congregation, and there have been great needs in my family.
And when I hear of answered prayers, in my spirit I see the footprints of Yeshua. He’s already been there, He’s already met that need. He’s changed situations. And I just want to say that I believe that here among us we’re going to continue to know that the footprints of Yeshua have been over here and they’ve been over there. And He’s met needs over here, and changed situations over there. And I believe it with all my heart.
The Lily of the Valley Coming Through
December 10, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given Sister Anna Tremain
I just wanted to say that the Lord just came in. I’ve smelled Him so many times before, that Lily of the Valley, that very sweet, sweet Lily of the Valley came forth again. And I bless the Name of the Lord. He knows when to come through.
Letting Go
December 10, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Edward Osborne
Hallelujah. As we were praising I just seen something in my spirit. And, hallelujah, I seen it as a, I seen a young woman, and she had something in her hand. I didn’t see what it was. But all of a sudden, she just opened her hand and she blew like that.
And she said, “I’m letting go. I’m letting go,” she said. Hallelujah. And that Scripture came to mind, “Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed.” Some of us just need to open our hands and let it… Hallelujah.
Brother Shelley:
Hallelujah. We release it. We release it. We release it. We release to You the chains. We release to You the inferiorities; we release to You the pains that have held us back. Oh. (Tongues) Hallelujah. We bless You, Lord.
Wind in the Veil
December 10, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I just saw the wind in the veil. I just saw the wind of the Spirit in the veil, in the curtain, as it was blowing in and out as the Spirit of God is moving. And it’s almost like His hand is beckoning you.
“Into the Presence of Yeshua”
Make Up Your Mind
December 11, 2005 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Sister Anne Tremain
[Unclear audio] …a king. Because I love you, and because I care for you… Come unto Me this day. Make up your mind. Come to Me this day, because you will not fall short. I will pick you up, I will lift you up because I love thee. You shall come, you shall come. My tender message to you is, you shall come. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
I Have Never Changed
December 17, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophecy given through Beverly Skipworth
I am that I am. I have never changed. I am that I am.
Come Through
December 31, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Tongues & Interpretation given by Brother Shelley
For the Lord would say unto thee this night I have set before thee a door that is opened. And yea, I have called thee to come through. Come through, come through, come through, saith the Lord. For I have opened a new door before you.
And yea, it is My desire to fill you and use you for My glory. Surrender. Surrender. I’ve called you before and now I call you again. Surrender. Walk the way that I have chosen for you to walk and you shall be blessed and prosper. But if you would continue to walk in your own way, saith the Lord, I shall break you because you are Mine and I love you, saith the Lord.
Come and follow Me. Step through the door that I have opened and set before you. I have paid a great price so that you could follow. Follow close. Yea, I say, follow close. For I have set before you a new year, fresh, saith the Lord.
Step into Change
December 31, 2005 (Saturday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
We’re recognizing that the order has changed. We’re stepping into that change in the Spirit. Hallelujah. Shaking… (Tongues)
The Lord’s calling to somebody. You don’t want to go out of this year into the spiritual condition that you’ve lived all year. Use this moment of time and transition as a new beginning in your life. Go ahead and dedicate yourself to the Lord fully. Hallelujah. (Tongues)
Oh, let me know the changing of the Spirit of the Lord. Fill me with the Word and with revelation. Stir up the gifts of the Holy Ghost in our lives.
Stir up the Holy Ghost in our lives. (Tongues) In your own way just tell the Lord you’re looking for something.
Lord, I’m looking for something from You, something fresh. Ooh, hallelujah. (Tongues) Something fresh. Ooh, hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory to God. (Tongues) Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah…
We don’t have enough time left now before midnight to pray individually for everybody in this building, but I want to anoint those of you with oil that would like to be anointed with oil.
Because in just a few moments…
The Lord dealt with me how we should leave the old year and enter into the new year. We should do it by worshiping Him. And He dealt with me that we should light an oil lamp just about the midnight hour.
Because I really believe that the wisdom of the Lord is going to be upon His Bride in this hour.
As I was praying this afternoon, I kept hearing the Spirit of the Lord say, “We should rise and trim our lamps, hallelujah, prepare ourselves to go in to the promises of God.”
So we want you to pray. And any brother that would like to be anointed, if you’ll just kind of step forward… But I want to anoint you with this oil as a symbol of the Oil of the Holy Ghost that is in our lives. Because five were wise and five were foolish. And let this oil be a symbol tonight of His Bride raising up to trim our lamps and get ready because we hear the cry.
How many of you have heard the cry? “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh. Go ye out to meet Him.” And this is a year of going forth to meet the Bridegroom. So we’re going to anoint you, you that want to be.
Father, we just anoint the brethren. We anoint them in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ as a symbol tonight, oh Lord, of that oil that filled the lamps and the vessels of those that had wisdom before You.
Lord, fill us. Fill us with Your wisdom, oh God. Let us hear the cry of the Spirit and rise up in this hour. Hallelujah. Glory. (Tongues) Lord, we rise up before You, hearing the cry of the Spirit that we should trim our lamps. Light them and get ready for this hour. Hallelujah.
Let us have ears to hear what the Spirit says. Help us to know what You would have us to do and give us the strength to do it. Father, I want to be used in this coming year like never before. Let doors be opened,
and give us all wisdom and leadership to step into those doors.
We bind the powers of the enemy. We take authority over spiritual wickedness in high places. We believe, oh God, right now in this hour, that You will help us to be loosed from everything that would bind us.
But I want as many people to hold it just a second and pass it to somebody else as a symbol. I just believe that… it’s a little simple, but I really believe that it’s a prophetic act tonight. And what better way to leave this year than to remind yourself
that this is the time to hear the cry, and to get up and get that dead part of your wick trimmed off, and get it lit with the Fire of the Holy Ghost so that you can burn bright.
“You go around with it and stand in front of those that have it and help them.”
