My Church, My Sheep, and My Nation

You have a dream, and a vision, and a plan.  It is something that you have held onto and you have realized that this is not a dream, a vision, or a plan that you have fabricated and imagined within your own mind.  But it is a dream, a vision, and a plan that I, Almighty God have deposited within you.  I have given it unto you to fulfill the purposes of the Kingdom of glory in the earth.  To establish that Kingdom so the earth can be filled with the glory of the Lord and the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, and to build, to establish, and to make secure My Church.  For it is the Church of God.

It is My Church, saith Almighty God.  And the stones, the living stones that make up the building of My house are My stones placed and set in their place; stone upon stone, order upon order, and authority upon authority. 

And so you will begin to see that I will no longer tolerate  leaders looking at My people as if they belong to them.  For My people are My sheep, saith the Lord, and I am their Shepherd.  I am the Great Shepherd. And yes, I have under-shepherds under Me. But it is not to control, it is not to own, it is not to manipulate nor exercise ungodly authority over My sheep. For I am the Lord of My sheep, and My sheep hear My voice, and not another voice will they hear. So they will not follow another voice.

Some in My flock have been called rebellious because they would not go the way of ungodly leadership and authority.  It is because My Voice has not been speaking into their ear, and speaking Spirit to spirit; deep calling unto deep. But that is changing in My house, saith the Lord of Hosts, for I am changing hearts.

Have I not said that I will write My will upon the heart, and I will write My will upon the mind? Therefore you will begin to see a shift in the Church of America. There will be a shift in leadership in many places, in many churches of America that have been exercising ungodly authority. You will begin to see this if they are not willing to change because of the hardness of their heart, if they are building a dream and a vision and a plan that started out right, but through greed and power and pride, ceased to be the plan and the dream and the vision of My hand.  And when it seemed that it was crumbling and falling apart, they took it to themselves and said, “I can surely finish this work.”  But I say unto them and you that it is a work that none can do without Me, for I give it and I will complete it, saith the Lord of Grace.

I have extended My grace, but as I said, yes, even after Pentecost, I will no longer wink at the things that have been going on that I’ve heard said and I’ve seen done that are not in obedience to Me; I can no longer wink at those things.

So you will begin to see the likeness of an earthquake in the Church of America. And you will see that just as the shale, the parts, the layers, the rocks, the ground of the earth begin to shake, and are re-positioned and readjusted, where some were on top they are now on the bottom, likewise you will begin to see a shifting in some of My houses, saith the Lord. 

For I will no longer tolerate My Name being drug through the mud. I will no longer tolerate My Name being used for ungodly purposes and through ungodly ways and means. For I am bringing holiness into My house, saith the Lord, and I am adjusting people and things because I have heard the cry of My sheep. My sheep have cried out for a true shepherd.   My sheep have cried out to be able to follow one who will follow Me unconditionally.

It is not in every place, it is not in every church, it is not in every situation. But it is enough in the Church of America that I will no longer wink at it. I never have, but it seemed to be. For a season I allowed it to give space and time to repent and to come into My way without compromise. And what they have compromised to keep, they will surely lose. And they will find out in many cases, the blood is on their head, for they did not as a leader teach My people Righteousness, Truth, and Justice, but rather allowed a lie to be lived.  They allowed lying vanities to be observed, and by allowing lying vanities to be observed they forsook their own mercy.

So the sheep will not ultimately be blamed for the wrong choices and the wrong decisions, yes, even in the elections that have recently been held in your nation. Had the leader from the pulpit led them uncompromisingly and taught them Truth, and taught them righteousness, and taught them justice, they would not have voted in an ungodly manner.

I am against abortion, and America has proven she is against abortion. For she has elected the man of My plan. She has elected the man that I have chosen by My hand. I expect My people to rise up in godly holiness and stand in the gap and make up the hedge and pray, and not just say, “Oh, at last it’s done. God has had His way.”  

BUT WHAT YOU HAVE GAINED THROUGH INTERCESSION, YOU MUST AS THE CHURCH OF AMERICA MAINTAIN THROUGH INTERCESSION!

I do not tolerate homosexuality. I look with mercy, and I look with sorrow and grief, because it is the spirit of death at work, and it grieves My heart, saith Almighty God. But I will not compromise with it. And until My people rise up and take a voice in this nation and stand for Righteousness, Truth, and Justice in every city, in every community, in every county, in every state of this godly nation that I have raised up, saith Almighty God, for My purposes, you will see the great shaking all about you.

So speak for Righteousness, speak for Truth, and speak for Justice. For those who have voted otherwise will pay for that sin until they repent. It will not be something that I will do unto them, but it will be what they have done to themselves. For they have chosen lies, they have chosen when they voted in the wrong way for injustice, and unrighteousness, and not according to My Word of Truth, and they voted a lie. For they voted for their own humanity. They voted for their own flesh desires. They voted for security that is false and will never stand. They voted for those things they thought would be grand.

But they will begin to see the life of the living God exposed and revealed and lived out in those who will pay the price  and say, “Not my will, but Thy will be done, regardless of the sacrifice.”  Many are looking at My Church wondering, “What is this? Is this just an organization? Is this just another social club? I do not want it. I have my own clubs. I have my own organizations.”

But when My Church experiences Pentecost once again, you’re surely going to find that the leaders and the members are going to be people sent forth to turn this world upside down. And you’ll begin to see it happen more and more in your nation, because I report the good news, saith the Lord of Hosts. And many, many things are happening in your nation on a city level, on a community level, on a state level where once again that which is Righteousness, Truth, and Justice is literally being voted in and possessing what could not be possessed for many years.

And I ask you as I asked when it all began in it’s ultimate final test for the Church of America, “Which way will you go?” Early in the last decade America chose the way of self-centeredness. America chose the way of a false charisma. But had they listened to Me, they would have surely known:  “This is not the way to go; but rather it is a way that will lead to ultimate destruction unless turned away and turned away from.”  And at that time I said that you had entered into a seven year period of famine; and yes, many, many things have been documented detailing all kinds of  turmoil that has taken place because of the battle between good and evil, because of the battle between a lie and The Truth.

And yet, good has won!  Truth has prevailed and been victorious!  And so you see, it will happen as My people continue to humble themselves under My Mighty Hand and quit looking, quit looking at what the world calls grand. For the world has influenced some of My people and they have slipped into greed and pride and lust, and they have sought things to gratify and to satisfy the flesh; things of this world which can never do so.

And so they are now shifting because I am working. But you will see momentarily in many situations periods of disorder and periods of confusion, because I am moving in, saith God, I am renovating My house.  I am cleaning My house. I am cleaning it up. So you will begin to see a little bit of chaos, but it is because I am working mightily to bring it all into Divine Order.

And I will have a glorious church for My Son. I will have a holy, pure Bride for My Son. I’ve always had a remnant and I will not change it in your day. And the remnant is the holy seed even as I have said in the Book of Isaiah, I will have a holy seed, a remnant.

But the remnant will have to guard, they will have to stand guard at the gate of their heart and at the gate of their mind, because once they start looking inside and looking at themselves they will be lifted up in pride, and think that they are better than others. When all the while, all, all, all is because of the blood that poured from His side.

And so you MUST know this:

THE LAST STRONGHOLD COMING OUT OF THE CHURCH OF AMERICA

IS PRIDE.

For I will not tolerate pride, saith God. I will have none of it in My house, saith God. And yet this is not a work that you must do.  You just stand for Righteousness, Truth, and Justice. You just stand and preach.  You believe, and you receive.  You act and you speak the good news, the Gospel, the good report. For did not My Son say, “As long as My Kingdom is on the earth, there will be the wheat and the tares?” And it is not for you to pull up the tares or to even be concerned and overwhelmed by the tares.  It is only up to you to concern yourself to be  wheat; being all I want you to be, doing all I want you to do.

All of this is the work that I am doing, not for your sakes, but for My Name’s sake.  For My Name shall be glorified in the Church of America and throughout America. For America shall continue to stand in that which I have called her to be ~ a MISSIONARY APOSTOLIC NATION, in faith without compromise, in the power of My Holy Spirit, Who is Lord, and therein there will be liberty, freedom, and justice for all.
