"MY WORD WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I HAVE SENT IT OUT TO DO"
May 23, evening, 2011
10For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55
"Write the vision down and make it plain on tablets so that a herald might run with it. Are there not things in my word written down that I have spoken to you about? Have I not written though my own hand the words that are written down in my word?
Through ages long ago I gave inspiration through the Holy Spirit the very words given to man and they "ran"with these words. My prophets were given messages from me and they were carried away on the winds of my spirit. In the past, many of these words were written down as scripture from the hands of prophets, holy men, and scribes, and from the hands of my apostles as well. Scripture is not to be added to, nor to be taken away from, but there are rhema words that I am giving that help to nourish and strengthen as well as to illuminate and give counsel in this hour. And they will cause the herald to "run with it." And you see, one speaks forth this word and it is spread forth like a blanket upon the earth. I had Isaiah write that my words would not return unto me void but that they would accomplish that thing that I had sent it out to do. And I say that the same thing would happen to my true prophetic word in this hour. For the words spoken from the lips of my prophets in this hour will see the seeds of that word being sent out and they will surely not return unto me void. For I will endow my word with illumination and fire. My word will be hammered out like a craftsman would do it. My word will not only set the captives free, but it will help safely steer my people back to shore. And I tell you that my "true prophets" in this hour will speak a word that will burn away the chaff. It will set the enemy to flight. And my word will illuminate a people. It will cause them to march through these days. For thus says the spirit of the Lord, I will tear asunder the chains that have held my people in bondage. I will break down the walls of tradition. I will equip my people with the weapons of their warfare, and they will step on the head of the serpent, and they will go from victory to victory.
For you have seen the whirlwinds in the midst of this nation, but it nothing compared to the whirlwind of my spirit that will infiltrate the spirits of my people as they take back the things that have been stolen from them from the enemy."

"THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD"
May 21, 2011
3 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.Exodus 12:13
"Seek the high road my people; seek the road that travels high. For then when trouble comes, you will be secure from calamity. When you travel up high upon the mountain then you can see the valley below. But if you travel up higher then you are saved from the floods that come. You are saved from the devastation.
I have said that wide is the way to destruction. I tell you that that is the way that most people walk. But when you take this road that I have laid out before you, then you will be joined with me in the journey. Take this road and walk with me along it. For I tell you that many more calamities are coming upon the people of the United States. You will need to be in your high tower with me. No secure place apart from me will be found. Shut the doors and do not go outside during that hour. For the blood was placed on the doorposts during the time that I passed over in Egypt. I saved those who had the blood placed there. I will do the same in these hours as well. I tell you that there is power in the blood. There is power, and there is protection. Use it against the enemy. Use it against the onslaught. Use it whenever devastation comes. "

"THESE PILLARS MUST FALL"
May 17, evening, 2011
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.9 And he continued, You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! Mark 7:7-9
(I saw in the spirit certain pillars standing like they would in an ancient Greek building, but only a few of them were left standing. The rest of them had broken and these were lying upon the ground.)
"I tell you that there are pillars that have fallen in the church. There are certain pillars that have stood for a very long time, but now they have fallen to the ground. These pillars that have stood for a very long time are represented by certain attributes. These pillars have been the pillars of tradition. The pillars of tradition have been erected in my church from a long time ago. But I tell you that it is now time for them to leave. Tradition is man's way. Tradition shows the way that man has always done them. But just as I came in and turned the tables over on the money changers, so the tables of tradition will be turned over.
The other pillar that I must turn over is complacency. For many in the church have become complacent where they are at. For when there is complacency there is no newness of life.
For these pillars must go now; for if they stay my church will not come into the fullness that I want for her. "

"LIVE AS FREE MEN"
May 16, 2011
20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. Colossians 2
"I have called my people to be free; and there are no limits to your freedom. For in former years you were a slave to the systems of this world. You were told: 'Do not eat this or do not drink that.' But I have called you to live beyond the boundaries of this world. You have a freedom in me that goes beyond the mandates of this world. You have the law and you must follow the laws of this land, but I have given you a freedom that allows you access to the things of my spirit. In this freedom, you can eat from my banqueting table; for all is good there.
But do not use your freedom as a context for evil. The freedom of my spirit allows you to taste and eat what is good from me, but it does not allow you to eat everything from the world's table. For there are things that are dangerous for you. But live as free men; live beyond the world's confines. "

"THE HOURGLASS OF TIME"
May 10 evening, 2011
2 He replied, When evening comes, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red, 3 and in the morning, Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast. You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a] 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. Jesus then left them and went away. Matt. 16
(The spirit of the Lord showed me a clock and the hands on the clock were going around the dial at a very rapid pace. The hands on the clock went around and around, going through the hours rapidly until finally the time began to slow down. At this point the hands on the clock showed the 11:00 hour. All of the rest of the clock was now obliterated and was black. Only the hands showing the hour of 11:00 were left showing. The time was illuminated and then the vision faded.
Now I was shown an hour glass and the sand was slowly falling out of the vessel from above into the lower chamber. The particles of sand reached a point where each grain of sand was now illuminated and it became like a jewel. Most if not all, of the sand particles had now fallen through into the bottom chamber. There were just a few of these particles left and as I said, they were "jewel-like" in appearance. These last remaining particles of sand now took on the appearance of very fine gold. The gold shone like the sun in appearance and was very beautiful to look at. Each of these minute particles of sand slowly dropped into the bottom chamber of the hour glass and the sand below now took on the appearance of a liquid gold.)
"I tell you my people, that time has been moving at a rapid pace. The hands have been moving around the clock ticking out the hours. I tell you my people,that the last remaining time upon this earth is beginning to fall through the hour glass. These events are like very fine gold because they will show where your "treasure" is. For time has indeed accelerated at a very rapid pace over the last twenty-five years or so. The events of the tragedies that struck your nation marked a certain segment of "time" as 9/11 exploded across your screens. The force of the earthquake that struck Japan also marked a period of time on the clock. These hours and times then, marked off my prophetic time piece and they fell like "jewels" into my eternal time piece. There will be other events during the second half of this year which will also be marked as "jewels." These events are not "jewels" because they are beautiful but they serve as signposts along the way. And if people observe them in this way, then they will represent a "jewel" of wisdom to you.
Learn to read the signs. Learn to know the season that you are in. Develop a relationship with me that enables you to see me in the signs. Live as wise men in a dark age. Make the most of the time that you have, for the sand is slowly moving out."<br.

"THERE IS A DIVISION LINE IN THE COUNTRY"
May 8 evening 2011
(This is a strong word that is quite important. I am seeing this division more and more amongst us. I truly believe that many have been blinded and they are seeing things and speaking things that aren't from God concerning these issues. I know that I will take a lot of flack perhaps about this. I don't care. I will however, continue to share and to speak what he gives to me.)
"There is a division line in the country. There is a division line, and it does not merely separate east from west. There is a division line and it is shown in the actions and in the reactions of those who follow a blue platform and those who follow a red one. For I tell you that people's opinions have replaced what you have truly heard from me.
This is seen in conspiracy stories about the President of the United States. For many have jumped on the band wagon. Many have called truth lies. And in thinking that others have been deceived, you yourselves have been deceived. But I tell you, that many of your blindfolds will stay on, for the god of this age has blinded you.
You think that an anti-christ spirit has brought this man to power, but you don't realize the work that I AM doing there. No, you would rather follow after other men. You don't see the deceit and the lies filling their hearts.
I tell you that the division will remain, and this division will erupt into a civil war. My people, the choice is yours. These divisional lines will be seen more and more in the churches that you attend. And in time if possible, some will even preach a political view rather than from the word of God. "

"THERE ARE MANY VOICES"
May 7, 2011
"I tell you that you are living in the last days, would say the Lord. For there are many voices crying out in this world. There are many voices in the church. There are many voices that speak out through the media. There are voices that come to you in one form or another. There are voices that condemn and there are voices that encourage. There are voices that warn and they send the trumpet throughout the land. There are the voices of your father that speak to you from when you were very young. There are the voices of your mother as well, who held you and embraced you. They gave you guidance and helped form you when you were young. But there is a voice that stands out strongly from the rest. It is that voice that calls to you when you are needing help. It is that voice that speaks to you in the midst of the storm. Know to distinguish that voice from the others. Know that that voice will always be with you. For I AM that I AM. I AM the voice of many waters. I AM the one that guided Moses. I AM one that spoke to Elijah when he was in the cave. I AM one who speaks out against injustice. I AM the one who gives hope to the hopeless. There are many other voices in this world, but I AM the one whom you can trust. "
Stephen Hanson
"NONE IS RIGHTEOUS"
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
Isaiah 64:6
"None is righteous, says the Lord; there is no one righteous in the land.Many dress themselves up so that they would appear to be righteous, but it is not my clothing that they are wearing. There are many ministers in the land and they wear robes made from the hand of man, but their robes are of their own making.
My people, I look on the inward appearance. I look on the heart of the matter. I had my priests in ancient times come into the holy of holies to worship me and many of them wore robes of gold, but they were not holy. They came to me because of the lineage of the priests. But still their robes were stained. The blood of bulls and lambs was not enough to totally purify them. Now with the new covenant the blood of my son has cleansed with his blood and has made you holy. But there is no one in the land that stands before me holy.
You have pastors who dress up in their garb with robes and collars, but still, they are not holy. Come into my presence, says the Lord; and when you stay in my presence, then my holiness will permeate you. But you are a sinful people. You will never cease from sin. You will go on as you do.
Do not pretend to be holy; but dress yourselves in the blood of my son. "

"A DAY OF LOSS OF THINGS AND A REBIRTH OF OTHERS"
May 1 evening, 2011
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5
"I have called my people to freedom. Freedom is what is offered to all; but many will lose their freedom in the coming months and years. For many years people around the globe had to worship me in private places. They had to find hidden places of worship because of the authorities in those places. But I tell you that the symbol that has served for the United States will fall. For your lose of freedom will come. It will come subtly at first but then it will be evident. For flags that have been unfurled will be put away. Your time as a nation reigning as an eagle and as a place of worship will not always be here. For you will have to find places where you will have the freedom to do this. For the forces that cause these things to happen will take down your temples. They will wipe away your sanctuaries . But you my people, will find other places to worship me. Just as the early Christians found sanctuary in the catacombs, so will you find places like that to worship me.
It is not that I would want to take away a freedom. But it is that my judgment is coming up a nation. The fire will burn hot. The earth will erupt and crack open. And out of the midst of many sorrows, a new people will be found. These are those who have come forth out of the ashes. These are those who have come out of many waters. And in that day they will shine forth as the stars do above. For their light comes from my throne. It burns forth with an everlasting flame. And those things that have been forsaken; those cities that have been utterly gone, will come forth again in the lives of my people, and water will again flow from the desert. "

"Watchman, what of the night?"
April 30, 2011
The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: If ye will enquire, enquire ye; return, come. Isaiah 21:11, 12.
"I have set watchmen on the walls, but I tell you that there is not too much room to stand there. Find a place where you can survey the land around you. Look out from your post and tell me what you see."
(The spirit of the Lord showed me a man who stood upon the wall of a stone building and he was looking out in all directions. He held a telescope to his face so that he could peer out into the distance.)
Look to the north and look to the south. Look to the east and look to the west. For there is an approaching scene. Commit your work to me and then you will be able to discern the scene that is coming. Do not leave your post, nor venture into other things. For I need my eyes and ears upon the wall. For soon the scene will change. Soon the flowers will come into full bloom. Then you will see others come into view. For an approaching army is coming. It will enter into your land. Then the people will flee. Where will you run to when you have not made your abode with me? Where is your high tower? I tell you my people, that these things are coming. For an invasion is certain. Prepare for these days, says the Lord.
But surely, I will be your high tower, says the Lord. I will be the one that you can run to. I will bring you unto myself and protect you when the darkness comes. "
Stephen Hanson
" DO YOU WANT TO HEAR BEAUTIFUL THINGS FROM MY SPIRIT OR DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH?"
April 27 evening, 2011
"' The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. Therefore, this is what Yahweh says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword (Jeremiah 14:10-16).
I asked the Lord earlier this evening about why certain prophets and prophetic people, don't seem tomention about catastrophic events that will be coming upon the earth.
He told me that:
1. Some prophets believe these things will happen,
2. Some don't talk about it, and pretend that they won't happen.
3. Others bury their heads in the sand.
I don't think that it's any different today than it was during the time of Jeremiah. Many today prophesy things from their own minds and spirits. They speak what others "want to hear." They just want to speak comforting words to the people. To be sure, God does want to encourage us and to give us hope, even in the midst of a world that is full of darkness and without hope. But he doesn't want to "tickle our ears." He wants us to know the truth. For when we know the truth, then the truth will set us free. We can't be truly free when we are hearing reports about how lovely God is going to make everything around us. He wants to bless us, but he also wants to prepare us for the days that are ahead. He would not be a loving God if he did not warn us of the calamities that are coming. What father or mother does not warn their children not to run out into the street without looking both ways? We have laws that protect us so that we do not go too fast on the highway or run through a red light. If we didn't have these laws then our world wouldn't have any order. We would have anarchy. So, having said these things, then we would be wise to hear what the Father would say to us in this hour so that we would be prepared and ready for what lies ahead.
Renewal of Ezekiels Call as Watchman
Ezekiel 33
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someones life, that persons life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.
7 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, You wicked person, you will surely die, and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for[a] their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.
However, most that heard Ezekiel's message wanted to hear "beautiful things" spoken to them. They wanted to hear a beautiful symphony of passages that would lull them to sleep. They didn't want to hear about tragedy. They didn't want to be warned. This is what was said of them later on in this chapter:
30 As for you, son of man, your people are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD. 31 My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to hear your words, but they do not put them into practice. Their mouths speak of love, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. 32 Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice. 33 When all this comes trueand it surely willthen they will know that a prophet has been among them.
Word from this evening April 27, 2011
"Behold, these things are true, for all around you there are voices that are speaking lovely things. Most of my body is being lulled to sleep. But I tell you that it is time to arise from your slumber. For the hour is getting late. Most want to join in for the parade. Most want to partake of the festivities. All the world's a stage it is said, and you are but its actors. But I tell you that it is time to stop acting. It is time to take off your masks. It is time to know the truth. It is time for my prophets to stop speaking things that others want to hear. It is time to start speaking boldly in my name. It is time to put away childish things. "

"WHAT WILL YOU DO?"
April 27, 2011
32And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; I Chronicles 12
"When the sky turns dark and all around you are the signs of my returning soon what will your refuge be? When the mountains quake and the earth cracks below you who will you run to? When all around you you see chaos and catastrophe , where will you find peace? When many of your churches have fallen and even the elect are deceived, who will you run to? When all manner of wickedness and sin is rampant around you, what will you do? When the love of many has waxed cold and all your people want is to have their ears tickled with the teaching of "feel-good preachers" what will you do? What will you do when truth is replaced with falsehood? What will you do when families are split up and all they can do is live from day-to-day? What will you do when some of your cities have been destroyed? Will you just say that this is the order of business? Will you adhere to the teachings of science and man or will you believe in an everlasting Father who created this world out of nothing?
I tell you my people, the signs are everywhere. But many have kicked over those signs and have said that they are just old wives' tales. I tell you that the judgments have begun. All of the previous seasons have ended. You would be wise to know the times and seasons that you are living in. "

"THE ARK OF SAFETY"
April 22, 2011
12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. Gen. 7
"There is a sound heard throughout the earth at this time. It is the time of anticipation. For all are awaiting for the signs to be seen upon the stage of this earth.
I tell you that this world is racing towards judgment. Everything that is not of me will not stand in this hour. Many ministries and churches are founded upon the principles of man. Many do not know that their lives around them will crumble. As I asked my servant Noah to build an ark for me, I asking many of you to step into the ark at this time. For if you are not found to be safely tucked away in my ark then surely,the devastation around you will sweep you away in its flood.
But many still scoff at the idea of coming into my ark. Many have their own ark; but no other ark than mine will save you from the great storms that are coming. "
Stephen Hanson
"I LIFT THE SAFETY NET"
April 20 evening, 2011
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter
(The spirit of the Lord showed me a man who was riding upon a horse and he then took what looked like a spear and placed it in the ground and he lifted up a huge net and took the net off of from where it had been.)
The Lord then said to me:
"I am taking off the safety net that has been held in place over the nation of the United States. For no longer will there be a wall of protection for you. No longer will I continually tell you what you must do. For you have gone your own way. You have ignored the warnings of those prophets that I have sent to you. The safety net was held in place by many generations, but now it is being released.
For the sounds of distant drums are being heard. The drums are rolling out their message upon the earth. For all around the globe the sounds of bloodshed and violence are heard and seen upon your TV screens. But I can gather them all up in the palms of my hands. I hold the world in a balance. I see the end as I see the beginning. And just as Israel was taken to Babylon, so at a certain point and time your nation will be besieged by an outside force.
But put your hope in me my people. Continue to lift this nation up to me. The handwriting is written upon the wall, and just as Nebuchadnezzar saw this so now it is plain for all to see.
For I would long to not come with a whip. I would rather not turn your waters to blood, but you are a rebellious people. I had to treat Israel my own just the same way. They sacrificed on every hill. They laughed at my prophets. They endured through many long, long winters; and yet they are my own. "
Stephen Hanson
"A RIFT IN THE EARTH"
April 16, 2011
1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoathe vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash[a] was king of Israel. Amos 1
(I know that some have prophesied an event like what has been shown to me below, but I really sense in my spirit the seriousness of this happening soon. I pray that we as a nation would be prepared for this to happen, and that lives would not be lost in the tragedy of it.)
The spirit of the Lord said:
"Everything that you see now in front of you upon the earth will change. For this earth as you know it, has been going through birth pangs.
(The spirit of the Lord showed me a map of Minnesota and a line was drawn along the Mississippi River as it went southward through the continent of the United States.)
For I say that cracks in the earth will increase. For these cracks will rumble and roar. These cracks will split your nation in half. I tell you that this quake will occur sooner than you may think. As it comes, there will be a slight sign of warning, as you hear the rumble, but woe to those who are caught in the upheaval. For truly I tell you, it will come and it will split cities in half. This is a true sign of the judgments that I am pouring out upon this nation. But I tell you that this "crack in the earth" also symbolizes a spiritual condition. For your nation is split between two extremes. You are "split" between two political parties, and these differences are causing a greater and greater "rift."

"RESTORATION FOR MY PEOPLE"
April 9, 2011
25 I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm[a]my great army that I sent among you. Joel 2
The Lord says that "I hear the sound of marching upon the plains. I hear the sound of marching hoof beats. I hear the sound of marching upon the hills. There is marching that is coming. I tell you that in the near time people will march upon your capital. For they long to see a nation that would not bind the hands of the workers. I tell you that the time is coming when those that have will give back to those who do not have. For the things that have been stolen, the money that they have been deprived of, will be taken out of ungodly hands and will be given back to the faithful. I tell you that it is not a certain political party that will do this, but my mighty hand I will bring restoration back to my people. For even though the economy is in a state of upheaval and turmoil, I can bring the resources to my people.
For the sounds of the beating of the drums is coming. The sound of restoration for my people is coming. I can do these things, says the Lord. I can resurrect those things that have been buried in the ground. I can take back those things that have been stolen. I can take the wealth away from the wealthy. I can make an oasis where there once was a desert. I can change the system. I can fill up your wells. I can replenish your purses. It is not a feel-good word of prophecy, but it is my word which is a creative force in this universe. I will rebuke the devourer. I will burn up the locust. And my people, will not beg for bread in the streets. Thus, would say the Holy God, the God of Israel, and the Lord God that is a God to my people."
Stephen Hanson
Prophetic Word--April 5, 2011
April 5, 2011
A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a cropa hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He, who has ears, let him hear. Matt. 13
Towards the end of this year catastrophes in the United States will have reached an all time high. The emblem that has represented the United States will have lost its allegiance. For I tell you, you will no longer be called the land of the free and the home of the brave. For another emblem will replace it. The skirmishes around the globe where your men have faced bloodshed will have taken its toll upon you. For this present age is coming to a close. But my hand is here to help you in every situation. For if you have planted seeds in the right soil then they will yield a crop a hundred fold. For what you plant in these days will produce a crop for what you will need in the days ahead. For other men have planted seeds to their own destruction. The very seeds they have planted will bring them harm. But there is a place that you can run to. There is a high tower that will protect you in these days. Other men have their own high towers; some trust in wealth and others in their own power. For they have crafted their own towers out of the materials of this earth. But if you were wise you would have built your tower upon solid ground. For the winds blow during this time and knock your materials down. A lighthouse is built along the sea and it sheds its light abroad for all to see. But the light from my lighthouse will shed an even brighter light. For the light from my light house will guide men and women in these dark days. They will see the light of my glory and they will rejoice even in the midst of a world that is in turmoil.
Remember that I am not coming back with peace but with a sword. He who honors others more than me is not worthy of me. Receive those whom I have sent. Receive a prophet in the name of a prophet and you will receive their reward. Do not receive those who do not know me. Enter by the narrow gate and walk out the path that I have assigned each of you to take. Do not go down other ones that are not assigned to you. For others have become diverted from their ministries, and by so doing they have added unnecessary weights and burdens to themselves. If I have called you as an evangelist then your job is not that of a prophet. If I have called you as a pastor then your role is in caring for the sheep. You are not meant to be all in one man. You are not meant to be an apostle or prophet. Do I not have other members that can fulfill that role? Why you would then control and govern as one who is all in all? Then go ahead and do as you have done, and then I will strip you of your authority and place.
I stand as the authority of my body. It is not some apostle or man, who would govern my entire body. For everyone is lacking in one area or another. Even a leader of a country or a nation has a team and members to help him. So they would help him in inspecting the walls. But above all, listen to those whom I have sent. Dont continue to argue about petty disagreements. Is not a building meant to rise strong to its completion? Do I have angels who have disputed about my holy temple? So why would you continue disputing about baptisms? Why continue wrangling about the day of the Lord? Is it not most important to have oil in your lamps and to be ready when I come? But be ready; for when you least expect it I will come. Remember that I hold the keys to the kingdom. I have given you authority to trample over demons and serpents. Submit yourselves to me, resist the enemy and he will flee. Say to the mountains in these days to be removed unto the sea and they will be removed. Remember that I have given you a great hope in me. Remember that I have given you the greatest things in life that you could have. For with faith, hope, and love, you have all you need.

"THIS IS THE HOUR TO BE FIRM IN YOUR RESOLVE OF ME"
March 31, 2011
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. Matt. 24
(This message began with a brief vision of the earth. I saw a crack developing and widening more and more on the ground. It meandered up north and continued to widen.)
"Be on your guard against evil men who would try to dissuade and divert you from the truth. For I tell you, you have to be firm in your resolve and your faith in me. You have to be unshaken as an old oak tree. For as you know, the winds are blowing. They are blowing harder and harder. This old earth is going through birth pangs and they will increase until the day of my coming.
For you will see a crack in the earth that separates the mid section of the United States. I have warned you about this, but I tell you that only a few have taken my warnings. The earth will separate there and many lives will be held in the balance.
Do not follow the naysayers of this age. For they think that life goes on as it always has. They don't see the signs that are clearly seen around you. I tell you that this is the hour to be firm in your resolve of me. "

"THIS LIGHT WILL SHINE IN THE DARKEST PLACES"
March 28 evening, 2011
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. 106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. Psalm 119 4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Isaiah 61
The spirit of the Lord showed me a man who was walking in the dark. He held a flashlight and the light from this flashlight was shining down directly at the path in front of his feet so that he knew the way to go. The path meandered up and down hills and turned around a corner. The man still held the flashlight in front of his feet and the light shone and allowed me to see where there was only deep darkness all around him.
"This is the way that it will be in the coming months and year. For I tell you my people, the world will become a darker and darker place. All around you there will be signs of this darkness. For it will invade the cities. It will spread around the world. But if each person that believes in me will use the light that I have given him, he will be able to walk forward and he will not stumble or fall. "
This time the spirit of the Lord showed me a couple of people who held large lanterns in their hands. The light from these lanterns shone very brightly around them, and it gave light to those who were in darkness. As I continued to watch, there now were several vessels, old earthen jugs, and these were being filled up from the lanterns which were held by these figures. The earthen jugs were set upon an assembly line which was winding its way throughout the countryside. Each jug was then filled up to its brim with bright oil from each of these lanterns that these figures were holding up.
The Lord then said:
"I tell you that you will need to buy oil from me in these days. For without the oil, your lamps will run dry. I want you to know that I have ministers upon this earth who will distribute the oil in those days. For without their help and aid, you will not know how to acquire this oil. For the hills and cities will be lacking of it. But I will miraculously feed my people in those days. Just as my children were fed in the wilderness, then will the heavens drop my food upon them. Water will be found in ancient places. And I will look over those who are with young in those days. The ancient places that were long ago deserted, will be rebuilt again. I tell you my people, these days are not far off. But I Am the maker of heaven and earth, and I cause streams to come alive in the desert. And I cause miracles to happen. Thus would say the spirit of the Lord."

"WOE TO SOME AND BLESSED ARE YOU TO OTHERS"
March, 27, 2011
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. Matt. 23:29
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matt. 5
"I tell you that in indeed, you are living in the days that have been prophesied. All of the dominoes are beginning to be falling. All of the things outlined in my word are now going to be happening. From nations falling and others rising up, these are the days mentioned in Matthew 24.
Beware of those who come in my name, and speak as though they are my messenger. You will know them by their fruits. For inside of them they are like wolves.
Beware of those who say to put your trust in the almighty dollar. For the monetary system is about to be utterly destroyed.
Woe to those who put their faith in a church. For I tell you that many denominations and churches will fall in this hour.
Woe to those who put their faith in a government. For it will never answer your questions or your needs.
Woe to those who do not look after the poor. Woe to you for you could be in the same position very easily.
Woe to those who clean the outside of the cup. For you are like the Pharisees.
But I tell you, blessed are the peacemakers, for yours is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who show mercy, for it will be extended to you as well. Blessed are those who morn, for you will be comforted. Blessed are those who are reviled and persecuted for righteousness sake, for so they did to the prophets. Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in the kingdom of heaven.
I AM he who comes soon. Get your house in order, and buy oil from me that you might be ready. For you do not want to be absent when I come. "
