""IT IS TIME TO GO ONTO MATURITY"

Oct. 13 evening, 2009

1Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ andgo on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance fromacts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2instruction aboutbaptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, andeternal judgment. 3And God permitting, we will do so. Hebrews 6

"You are entering a new season in the church. In this season,all the hype and entertainment will be disappearing. For I amcleaning out my house. It is time for you to put away childishthings. It is time for you to grow up. It is time for you to comeunto maturity.

Pastors it is time for you to quit laying out the same foundation.It is time for you to quit trying to please the sheep. It is timefor you to quit just feeding them milk.

My body has been pampered for too long. They tire of the samepastures year after year. It is time for them to be prepared forother things. Wouldn't you want your own child to eventuallygrow up? It is safe and way too familiar to keep them at thesame place. It is not loving to keep them in the same place.If you're going to preach, then preach a new word! Where isthe fresh word from heaven? Where is the manna that fell fromheaven?

By the end of this year you will see tumultuous things beginto happen. The winds of change are moving across the world.For out of the deep a spirit has come and tried to get some tofollow after him. He knows that his time is short.

Do not be enticed by the words that he spreads. For anotherfalse prophet will emerge on the scene. I have told you that inthe last days some would come. When you see these thingsbegin to happen, then you will know that the time is near."
