Chapter 1 – Heaven’s Intervention
We, the people of Planet Earth, have entered into what is probably the most volatile season of change since the great flood of Noah’s time. World changing events that will affect the entire planet are on the menu for the future of all nations.
Believe it or not, in the full scope of all things, the end result of the apocalyptic and cataclysmic events will be the best thing on Planet Earth since God formed the Garden of Eden and created Adam and Eve in it. The things coming forth lead to the fulfillment of Christ and all that he accomplished in His incarnate life, His death on the cross, and His resurrection.
This is not about doom and gloom. On the contrary the season ahead that has already begun will preface the most glorious reality of the brilliant works of Almighty God ever seen on Planet Earth.
Probably every thinking person knows that extreme times and changes for the nations of the world are inevitable. The problems of this world are glaringly plain. However, real solutions are not at all apparent by natural understanding. Humanity and world conditions are such that there appears no solution without an intervention from God Almighty to do something to change the course of the world.
Many prophetic men and women have been speaking for years about major changes coming to the nations of the world. In past decades many prophetic warnings about cleansing judgments from God have been coming forth that align with many biblical warnings.
The purpose of these events is not punishment for the earth or its people. The purpose of cleansing judgment from God is to bring change in our world – a cleansing or clearing of the land of all that is not of God both in us and in the world.
In the spiritual realm, a great shift or transformation from the present mindsets and ways of being and doing is taking place. The light and love of God is brilliantly shining into the hearts of many believers.
While at the same time the darkness has exploded across the world. The darkness has become deep darkness in and around the masses of ungodly people. One result of this is that Christ Jesus and His people on earth are more despised every day as the rate of increasing darkness continues to accelerate. The violent hatred for the name of Jesus and all who follow Him is becoming worldwide and increasingly intense.
The intervention of God is our only hope and our hope is not being disappointed.
The Undercover Intervention from Heaven
Under the cover of deep darkness, God has now begun what appears to be the most glorious magnificent move of God ever.
This undercover supernatural intervention of God is not subject to the masses of people or the whims of the religious minds of the naysayers. It is not fed by man. It is not driven or empowered by man. The natural eyes of man cannot even see it and the natural minds of man cannot understand it.
Since it is not seen by natural-minded man, it will not be merchandised. Natural man cannot start it and cannot stop it. This intervention move of God is unstoppable by man. Unlike other moves of God in recent history, this move will never go away. It will always increase and never decrease.
It is a rapidly spreading sovereign supernatural spiritual move of God by the Holy Ghost releasing the fire of the Spirit and the supernatural life of Christ Jesus into the lives of His people. It is the manifest presence of the living God in and among His people.
Great thick darkness is covering the earth. Deceiving spirits and other demonic activity is greatly increased across the world. People are readily and easily falling into any deceptive plot of the enemy. False teachings of the most extremely weird types are spreading among secular and religious people, especially the young people, on a scale never seen in modern history. Violence and perversions of every sort are becoming acceptable behavior. Many religious churches are infiltrated with occult practices. Witchcraft and various sorceries employing curses, spells and such have crept in among the young people in many church groups.
The media aimed at children and young adults is programming violence and deep darkness into the homes, streets, schools, playgrounds and every social or broadcast media. Sexual immorality and perversion is considered normal. Speaking curses and casting spells are common place. Evil darkness and hideously ugly is made out to be good and desirable. While pure, clean, and holy is made to seem hateful and undesirable. Family life and autonomy is near extinct. Christ Jesus and people of God are despised and are made out to be hate-filled ignorant tyrants. This is but a thumbnail description of some of the gross darkness covering the land.
It is under this thick darkness that the intervening move of God is pouring the pure holy love and power of God flow directly into the hearts and lives of God’s humble people.
God is intervening both under and above the darkness.
Beneath the darkness God’s brilliant light, love, and power is flowing to those who seek God and His kingdom with their whole hearts.
Above the darkness the fire of God is descending from heaven bringing fierce cleansing judgment to bring down everything that exalts itself against God. Every force of darkness and all that it has devised will crash and crumble to the ground. The fire of God will purge the earth of the great darkness. Destruction and devastation as described in the book of Revelation and other biblical passages will take place. The prophecy of Isaiah Chapter 2 is well fitting to this time.
In Chapter 2 of Isaiah the goal, the situation, and the process of God’s latter time intervention are well described.
The Goal or End Result
2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
The Current Condition
6 For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled with eastern ways;
They are soothsayers like the Philistines,
And they are pleased with the children of foreigners.
7 Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
8 Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
9 People bow down, (to their idols),
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.
The Cleansing Judgment
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty’
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols He shall utterly abolish.
Jesus taught of this day in Matthew Chapter 13. He spoke the parable of the tares and the field to the multitude. Later His disciples asked Jesus to explain the parable to them.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
You and I are alive in the time of these fulfillments beginning to come to pass in our world. And as hard as it might be for you to believe, we have a part in this sovereign move of God. There must be pure and holy mature sons of God in whom Christ Jesus fully dwells to bring forth, beyond the cleansing judgments, the new world governed by God. You and I are the seeds of Christ sown into this world for such a time as this.
Under the cover of darkness, the Holy Ghost is now invading our lives and our world with the life of Christ Jesus empowering His pure holy sons and daughters with His love, power, and wisdom to fulfill His works in this world. Christ living in our bodies where we once lived is indeed the hope of glory on Planet Earth.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit – Gal 5:25.
Chapter 2 – Holy Ghost Invasion
A unique move of God is now invading the United States of America. It is unlike any previous move in America. It is not revival or renewal as we have seen in recent decades.
Awakenings, revivals, renewals, and outpourings have impacted America and many other nations of the world. Yet something different, something much deeper is bringing more change to the nations than anything has in the last one hundred years.
This move is unseen and undetected by people with natural minds and natural eyes. Natural eyes will not see, nor will our natural ears hear, nor will it enter the hearts of natural minded men, the things that God is bringing forth. However, God is now revealing them to those who have laid down their natural lives to worship Him in the true beauty of holiness - to live and walk in His Spirit. This work of God is imparted through His Holy Spirit.
This extreme world-changing move of God will not be on the national news media. For the most part the traditional church systems and large denominations will not be aware of this mostly unseen mighty move of God. Unlike previous moves it will not be recognized as a separate identity or stream or denomination but will flow unseen to affect every heart of every person who is willing and obedient to let their lives become worship in the beauty of holiness.
The Ghost Ship
Several weeks ago I was in the Sprit and was given a powerful spiritual vision. In the vision I knew that I was looking out over the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of North Carolina. It was a very dark night, and the ocean was calm and the surface almost undistinguishable in the darkness of the night. In the distance I saw an ancient style sailing vessel that was aglow with a fire but not like with blazes of flame. It was like a golden glow of fire. I could see several masts and lots of rigging all aglow, but no sails were hoisted to drive the ship.
The ship seemed to be supernaturally gliding rapidly toward the shore line of the outer banks of the east coast of America. I could not even tell for sure that the ship was in the water or gliding above the surface since it moved so swiftly in the darkness without any visible wave action at all.
(At this point I need to let you know that I am originally from Texas and knew almost nothing of the legends or folk lore of the coastal area regarding the many stories of sunken ships, pirates, and tales of ghost ships including one of a flaming sailing vessel. I was completely unfamiliar with legends of ghost ships, etc.)
Back to the vision – As the ship glided closer I could see what looked like glowing beings, like people or angels leaning out over the sides of the ship as if excitedly looking ahead at the shore line they were approaching. I spoke out, “God, what is this thing that looks like a ghost of a ship?” I heard in reply, “It is a HOLY GHOST SHIP.”
I was made aware that there is a sovereign move of the Holy Spirit invading the United States coming in under the cover of darkness to the outer banks of the east coast and moving inland and swiftly across the nation.
In the vision I was then lifted up and saw much of the shoreline. The shore line took on a golden color but not as bright as the ship had been. It was a more metallic golden look as it invaded the coves, peninsulas, and islands of the outer banks and moved on westward. I was aware that the coming of great justice into the land was involved in this move. Places where there had been great historical injustices and atrocities were first to receive the powerful transforming work of the Holy Ghost.
I customarily have used the term Holy Spirit instead of the term Holy Ghost. Since this vision it is in my spirit to return to using the older term of Holy Ghost. I became mildly interested in what the difference might be if any. As we have used the names, there is not a significant difference. Taking a look in the English dictionary at the words “spirit” and “ghost,” there is some difference there. The word “ghost” is defined as a disembodied spirit usually of a departed person. The word “spirit” can refer to many types of spirits. For me now the term Holy Ghost has to do with the Spirit of Christ Jesus coming to abide in His Body on earth. Selah.
The Body of Christ is a place for the Spirit of Christ Jesus and the Father to abide and finish the work of redemption and restoration of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Selah.
The light of the fire of God is gliding into our lives, under the cover of the dark night of this world.
This sovereign move is unseen and undetected in the natural because it is an inner move of God coming in through the darkness of this age. A precious inner working of the fire and light of God filling our hearts and lives with pure holy love, peace, and joy is transforming the intent and the abundance of the heart of those being transfigured by this move. Worship becomes as natural and as vital to life as breathing. Holiness becomes as effortless and refreshing as drinking clean clear cool water. God’s righteousness is imparted into us as the light pours the life-giving Spirit of Christ Jesus into our hearts.
People who have suffered serious injustice in the past are receiving an invasion of God’s healing love and great joy of the Lord. Healing of the spirit, soul, and body is as natural and easy as taking a walk in a well-kept garden at sunrise. God’s love is both peaceful and stimulating drawing us to one another with intense desire to serve and bless one another.
Without effort we truly love God with intense passion and love one another. In this pure holy experience of the invasion of the Holy Ghost into our beings, almost nothing remains the same as it was in the past. Every good thing we have received from God in the past is increased and intensified. One of the most valuable characteristics of the invasion of the Spirit is that the enduring mixtures of religion and secularism are simply vanishing from our being.
Assignments and Alignments are Being Changed
There is not retirement in the kingdom of God. There is instead Holy Ghost’s ”re-fire-ment” for a whole new assignment in the new kingdom of God order of life. Our previous assignments may have been productive and rewarding in our past life in dealing with religion and secularism mixed with true Spirit-led ministry and life in the mercy of God for the past season of transitioning. Many of God’s people are finding their past assignments are being canceled and new assignments are being made by the Holy Ghost.
The new assignments are always LOVE-based instead of based on need or religious order. God’s LOVE in us is the order. What we could not make work with church system order even based on biblical word, will supernaturally flow into order by the pure holy love of God in and among His people.
Our lives may be tested as our souls resist the change and seek to challenge us in adjusting to the new assignment. For some of us the changes may seem abrupt and harsh to our old mind sets. Our nature may be to resist change. Our soul may want to know all the circumstance and details and remain in charge by approving or disapproving the change. We simply must allow the gracious mercy of God to encourage us in His love to fully surrender to that which God is doing. It becomes easy, because the grace of God will make us miserable in our old unchanged situation.
Changes of alignments will come with the change of assignments. It may happen that suddenly places where we were fruitfully connected simply disappear. Relationships that were productive and good seem to suddenly be gone. There may or may not be problems or human disorder, yet the relationship suddenly is just not as it was. At the same time intense love and desire to closely connect with other people or groups or situations arise within us by the Holy Ghost.
Some may have been feeling dissatisfaction in a place of relationship and service. By the Holy Ghost, those feelings will either turn into fresh love and peace, or they will suddenly seem smothering and unbearable until we are realigned in our new situations.
Our new assignments and alignments by the Holy Ghost invasion are part of the preparation for the most significant move of world-cleansing cataclysmic events in recorded history. At the same time the covert invasion of the Holy Ghost is bringing the beauty of holiness in the lives of God’s people, there is an overt power move of God destroying the pride and loftiness of man. Everything that lifts itself against God will be brought down as the natural world is shaken beyond measure.
Living a long comfortable life is not the first priority of our hearts. Living in oneness with God through the Holy Ghost will cause our first priority to be that of fully accomplishing the purposes for which we were sent to this earth.
There is no doubt that we live in a major season of the work of God transforming the world to the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. All of our assignments and alignments in some way relate to our purpose of life on Planet Earth. The purpose for each of our lives is in some way related to the glory of worshipping God in the beauty of holiness.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit - Rom 5:25.
Chapter 3 – The Beauty of Holiness
Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him.
Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
The beauty of worshiping the Lord in holiness is the presence of God among and within His people.
Worship is the one thing that we can give to our God who has everything.
The worship and praise from mankind is the one thing God does not do for Himself. We are created to fulfill His desire as a wife to her husband and a child to his father. Even the smallest amount of unfaithfulness in the Bride corrupts the true holiness and intimate oneness with Holy God. Any amount of rebelliousness in a child of God disrupts the beauty of holiness in true worship to our God. No, it does not interrupt His love for us. However, it does affect our true worship in the beauty of holiness. Unfaithfulness and rebelliousness are symptoms of straying from the pure holiness of the presence of Christ living His life fully within us.
In His presence, God’s true unconditional love is implanted in us by the Spirit of Christ Jesus producing perfect obedience to God’s every desire. Because we love Him we have a heart filled with an overflowing loving desire to please Him and never dishonor Him in any way.
Our greatest joy and fulfillment in life is to worship and praise Him and experience His manifest presence filling and saturating us with His love. This is worshiping the Lord in the beauty of holiness, and there is nothing in this life of more value than this true worship.
Our past life and all of its painful wounds are healed as we worship in the beauty of holiness. Disease and deformities can miraculously be healed. Fear and its entire depressive and debilitating works are removed in the presence of His love.
Impartation of a sound mind and fresh light for life is implanted in us as we worship and praise our Lord in the beauty of holiness. The joy of the Lord strengthens us to be and do anything and everything that He desires. Our hearts are glad with His presence with us even when the world hates us and persecutes us. This is the kingdom of God in action, the rule of God on earth in and through His people.
Please allow me to speak personally from my own heart-felt desire for a moment.
My heart’s desire, that I believe is from the Lord, is that the remaining days of my life here on this earth are characterized by worshipping and praising God in the beauty of holiness. Anything in my life that does not give Him glory and praise His name is unprofitable and will not continue to occupy time or energy in my life. I cannot speak for others or judge what they do or believe, but my desire is to become more of a worshiper in all that I am and all that I do.
Personally, I am not willing to go on in this life trying to teach people about God and His kingdom that have other agendas and desires. My life is too short to spend in anything that does not facilitate the pure holy worship and praise of God in the beauty of holiness.
The Lord is bringing a fresh new move of inner purity and holiness. This is a mostly hidden revival by the Holy Spirit that is moving sovereignly into the hearts of His people.
God is saying that there is no need for us to apologize for speaking His truth in His love.
There is no room left for people of religious pretending who speak that which they know is untrue and call it socially acceptable politeness or only little white lies. This comes from a churchy form of religious political correctness. Feigning agreement to maintain social acceptance and voicing insincere flattering words to enhance relationships and positions.
There cannot be true worship in the beauty of holiness without openness and transparency first with God and then with those around us with whom we join in worship. There is not space any longer for the acceptance of “Christian masks” of religious pretension and false facades of churchy political correctness.
The rampant denial of the Holy Spirit is no longer an acceptable position. The Holy Spirit of God implanting our spirit, soul, and body with the very life of Christ Jesus is the imperative goal and purpose of life. True worship includes praising God with our every breath and all the strength within us in our every endeavor in this life.
There is not room left for the tolerance of religious debate and ridicule from well-meaning but troubled and competitive voices of confusion. Those who love their religion and their own brand of “truth” will receive the reward of their lives and beliefs whether good or bad.
There is no place in truly worshipping God in the beauty of holiness for the hierarchical political systems of church rule. There is not even one moment to spend catering to the religious church rule of dominance over other people in the false religious systems such as clergy over laity and the worship of church leaders.
The pure love of God poured out upon us in His intimate presence while worshiping in the beauty of holiness washes away all of this stuff and produces a people who are truly holy as He is holy. In His presence there is no more debate over grace and law or eschatology or any other doctrinal positions.
Truly, none of that matters in His presence as we truly worship in the beauty of holiness. We simply know Him and know that He knows us, and His love provides complete assurance that everything regarding our lives now and in the life to come will be perfectly right for us in His presence.
Whether eschatological events turn out to take place this way or that way or some other way is not a great concern if our lives are continuously consumed in His presence now in true worship in the beauty of holiness. However, all that we really need to know will be made known to us, if we are one with Him. We can walk with Him through whatever is ahead in His peace that goes well beyond understanding or knowing. We don’t really need to know all that will take place in the future, if we truly walk with God as one. If He truly is one with us, we know absolutely that whatever the future holds, He will take care of us and will never leave us or forsake us.
There is not room for continued debates of theology or eschatology. The time of tolerance of man-centered religion devised from the tree of knowledge is past.
The crystal clear purity and holiness of the presence of God is now flowing into the hearts of God’s chosen people. The beautiful brightness of God now shining forth into our hearts and lives brings fresh dynamic life that sets us apart from the rest of the world. There is becoming a great distinction between God’s people and the world. This is the coming of Christ in His people establishing His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
There are no more games, no more magic tricks, no more manipulation, and no more leaning on the religious or secular ways to supplement the works of God in our lives. “Christian witchcraft” of making things to happen our way and calling it God will no longer be tolerated and cannot coexist with the presence of God in the beauty of holiness.
The beautiful jewels of God’s purified holy people reflect a brilliant aurora of the pure light of God that draws the harvest of those who will come. While those who will not come are greatly offended by the intense light and become filled with fear and rage.
The pearls of God will not be cast before those of the secular or religious worlds with appetites for self-aggrandizement. Rather they will be quietly implanted into the humble and meek children of God who will worship God with all their hearts in the beauty of holiness.
Like poles of a magnet, the love of God is binding us to Him and to one another. While at the same time this same love is causing separation with others.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit - Rom 5:25.
Chapter 4 – Love Bonds
In this season of preparation for the increase of significant and extreme events of change that we are now entering, God is establishing relationships and connections for the new order and function of the Body and Bride of Christ.
The invasion of the Holy Ghost is establishing a new paradigm of spiritual governance and order replacing the existing organizations and networks that are established and function primarily by human understanding and natural methods.
The Spirit of God by His presence with and within His people is transforming us into Spirit minded spirit beings enlightened and empowered in the Spirit of Christ Jesus to live and move from the one source of real life in the Spirit.
The pure and holy love of God flowing into His people by the Holy Ghost dissolves away any remaining residue of impurities in our motives, methods, and habits.
In the hearts of His people that are broken with love for our Lord, Savior, and King, all hardness is melted into pure love for God and for His people. Holy passion is birthed into our souls to guide us by the slightest movement of Spirit God. The loving passion within us brings us to quick obedience without hesitation or reservation.
In love with God, we become sensitive to His leading and hear His guidance clearly. We are led by love to connect to others who are abiding in His presence, and we are caused to be disconnected from some others. The cause of disconnection does not always involve something wrong in the person or group. It may well be that for reasons well beyond our knowledge; we are simply to be connected differently. It is the wisdom of Almighty God that designs the new spiritual order of love-based relationships.
The establishment of love bonds with people who we are to be connected to can be almost instant. Our natural minds trained by previous negative experiences may try to tell us to wait, to hold back until the relationship is proven to be based in the real love of God by actions and deeds. However, in this season of the manifest presence of God, the wind of the Spirit will move us about, and the inner leading of Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit can instantly complete the love connection that joins the cells and parts of the body into oneness with God and one another. To the individual person this may feel like a passionate desire to give to and bless the individual or group. It is simply the passionate love of God in us moving us into the places of mutual provision in the approaching time of great shaking in this world.
Godly Loyalty in Love Bonds
Godly loyalty is not the same thing as natural human loyalty and is quite different from the loyalty in the church systems that are fading away. Natural loyalty such as that observed in the man-structured church systems was mostly faithfulness to a man, office, institution, religious order, or a system of theology. Usually the practical rudiments of this situation can be summed up in this old saying, “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” In other words individuals come to the person or system to get something they need or want. They are received because they provide something the person or institution needs or wants. Only as long as needs and wants are being met is the natural loyalty operational.
The individual is usually seeking some form of personal provision. It may be a perceived spiritual need or an emotional need or a physical need or whatever. The institution and leaders need the individual to loyally support and serve them. This need-based loyalty will usually only last as long as needs are being met. Though it may meet some needs, it is never permanently or fully satisfying to the inner needs of the souls and spirits of the people who are involved.
Godly loyalty is love based. God’s love in us – love from God and for God and His people. This loyalty is a spiritual work of the Holy Ghost that delivers the fullness of provision from God in the form of love. It is a love relationship in which one would lay down his or her life for another. Christ Jesus laid down His life for us by love. That same love produces the same kind of loyalty in us that we will lay down our lives.
In the fullness of His life in us and His presence among us, we have no frustration from unmet needs or wants. We are spiritually abundantly supplied and filled to overflowing. Fountains of living water flow from our inner being, and we have no reason to seek after provisions. We are always loyal to God first and foremost above all else.
We are set free from seeking after provisions for this life. We are truly able to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL THESE THINGS ARE ADDED TO US.
In our past religious natural-minded state, most of us were focused on seeking provision either from God or man or other natural or even hidden demonic sources. For the most part Christians sought spiritual provisions from religion and religious institutions. Also for the most part, they sought after natural provisions from jobs and business operations. More recently many people seek their provision from government entitlements or handouts. Some ministry-minded people seek provision for their lives by doing ministry activity. The problem with these is not in the receiving of provision. The problem is in the seeking. Selah. None of these are God’s best plan for us.
By our love relationship in the Holy Ghost, God is opening our hearts and lives to the reality of the kingdom of God and how His righteousness works in us to produce the provisions of God from heaven. Only as the Holy Ghost brings the presence of God in and among us to consume us in His love can we truly perceive what is meant by seeking first the kingdom and His righteousness.
Many believers in the passing era of systemized “church” have been greatly disappointed when they tried to seek first the kingdom and His righteousness. It simply did not work in their lives like they thought it would. It did not work because they were not seeking the real kingdom of God.
The problem is that we have simply not truly known the reality of the kingdom of God. In this season of other kingdoms coming down to make room for the real kingdom to come forth, many are seeing and hearing the gospel of the kingdom as Jesus preached and demonstrated it on earth. Some others are coming into alignment with the good news of the kingdom without really realizing what they are doing. They are simply following the guidance of the Spirit of Christ Jesus in them by the Holy Spirit. The presence of God within is leading them to lay down the limitations of previous religious beliefs and open their lives to the marvelous work of the Holy Ghost invading their hearts and lives, and eventually the world around them.
Kingdom-minded people of God will no longer be drawn into erroneous or incomplete works of religion. Only the pure love of God by the Holy Spirit within them can create bonds of connection and relationships with God and one another. There are no other allegiances above the bond of love with God and His people. Love is the bond that draws together and holds together the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
Religious debate and demonic intervention cannot separate or divide that which God is bonding together in His all-powerful love. Neither death nor anything in this life or in heaven, not depth nor height nor any other created thing can separate what God has put together in the bond of His love. This is what the Holy Ghost invasion is delivering afresh under the cover of darkness into the hearts of His people – the seeds of Christ in us sown into the ashes of this world to bring forth the beauty of holiness. Worship Him with all we have, all we are, and all we do in the beauty of holiness.
1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
Isaiah 61:1-4
During and beyond the apocalyptic and cataclysmic events of world cleansing judgment, the mature sons of God (all those in whom Christ Jesus fully lives) will arise in the glory of God to rebuild the old ruins with the pure holy reality of the unhindered rule of God on earth as it is in heaven. The entire world shall worship God in the beauties of holiness. All things are gathered into Christ Jesus and delivered to the Father a glorious kingdom.
Yes Lord here am I, send me.
I receive the fullness of Your love and gladly lay my life before You to arise only by Your bidding, consumed in your love. No longer to live of this world but as one with You in the love bond of oneness to bring forth Your glory from heaven on earth. I worship You all the days of my life. You are worthy, oh Lord. You are glorious, and You are Love now and forever. Thank you for the beauty of your holiness invading earth. Amen.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit - Rom 5:25.
Chapter 5 – Holy Fire
God is doing an awesome work in our day. In my opinion it is on a broader scale than ever before in history and will soon become the deepest and most holy work since the first century.
In June of 2007, I wrote the following: In the last two days I have had two encounters in which I believe God is imparting something very big to be shared.
Yesterday morning (June 19, 2007) I settled back in my recliner to commune with the Lord. I began to see a vision. I was standing on a high place looking out over a large area. The sky was colored as if it was sunset or sunrise, but I did not see the sun. It was a pleasant scene.
Then from my right I saw a thin stream of black cloud or smoke flowing into the area before me. It began to turn or swirl, so that it began to build up in the area instead of flowing on past. It continued to pile up or gather until the whole area was in black darkness. Powerful bolts of lightning zapped forth from the darkness in a straight line to the ground. Where the lightening hit the ground massive explosions occurred, and from the explosions fires spread on the land. Very black smoke rose up from the fires and joined the darkness. The darkness became so thick and black that only the brightest flashes and fires could be seen.
A large bright, semi dome, oval shaped, white light appeared and seemed to be entering the darkness from above. The light began to flow downward from the bright oval like some type substance rather than like natural light. It extended out from the main light to the sides a short distance and then curved downward forming like a huge dome of the light substance. As it continued to flow, the light substance began to consume the darkness. It was very bright at the top and appeared less bright in the lower portions as it came down. In a while the darkness had been partially consumed, and I could see a portion of the ground for the first time since the darkness came in. It was now very barren, mostly rock and rough. There was some dry dust or ash but no hint of moisture or life of any kind. Then I began to see colorful jewels scattered about the scorched looking rock and dust. And the vision ended. As yet I did not know what this entirely means. But in light of what happened later, it seemed significant.
The next morning just after four, I was shaken awake. I awoke with the presence and power of God surging through my body. My body was reacting as though one would imagine it would if large amounts of electrical energy were flowing through it in surges. I began to hear the words HOLY FIRE! HOLY FIRE! HOLY FIRE! – over and over again. I was given another vision. I was meeting with a denominational pastor and a small group of his associates after attending a meeting in their church. At one point in the conversation, I became sick feeling because of the lack of spiritual life among the group. The conversation was something about money, or the lack of it, and the desperate financial condition of the church. Suddenly I told the group I could not continue and that I was leaving. I added, "You have nothing; you cannot even handle your money things, and that was all you had. Your fire is gone." I looked at my wife, who was sitting off to the side, and got up to leave.
The pastor stood up and asked me to please wait and have dinner with him and his wife and talk with them some more about their condition. I agreed. In the next part of the vision we were walking together toward the door to leave the restaurant where we had finished eating, and I looked at them, thanked them for dinner, and told them with very anointed words that they had lost their fire and were not able to do anything because they had lost the fire of God that they once had. The pastor’s wife began to cry loudly and wailed out at almost a scream. The pastor was convulsing with great sobs of sadness but not making a sound. There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and they all began to weep and cry out loud with great sadness.
I came out of the vision knowing that God wants to do something powerful regarding the denominational and institutional churches. My heart was broken for the pastor and his wife and all the people. I am still weeping for the precious people of God who have been robbed of the fire of God. The darkness had slipped in and covered the land, and they did not even know the fire had left them. They were so heartbroken when it was revealed to them by the Spirit. The vision ended, but I believe there is a desperate hunger among the multitudes of our brothers and sisters for HOLY FIRE one more time.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY FIRE!!! PURE HOLY FIRE IS COMING TO DESTROY MIXTURE!!!!
In the recent past the fire of God from heaven has touched earth in many places around the globe. Miracles and massive numbers coming to Christ in Argentina, stadiums filled for prayer and worship in Columbia, outpourings of Father’s love bringing renewal in Canada, powerful repentance in Florida, powerful outpourings in Missouri, awesome worship in Australia just to name a few of many spots. All across the world heavenly fire has brought spots of revival, renewal, and transformation. This recent worldwide move of God created more worship, prayer, and vital commitments to God than ever before known in our world. Multitudes of conferences – many mega-churches of tens of thousands – multitudes of people lifting their arms toward heaven in worship – others kneeling and falling prostrate before God – hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of house church groups spreading across the land – unprecedented interest in following God in business and the work place – worldwide mass media proclaiming a Christian message – all this and much more are a part of the past several decades of a major move of God.
This move ushered in the return of the prophetic and apostolic ministry and empowered the evangelist, shepherd, and teaching ministries with fire. The gospel of the kingdom of God that was veiled or lost for centuries has been reinstated in the world. Reformation was visible across the world. God was at work in a mighty way bringing a massive change to Planet Earth.
YET, THESE WONDERFUL WORKS CONTAIN MIXTURE FROM THE WORLD AND RELIGION.
From the beginning of the new Pentecostal experience through all the charismatic renewals and revivals God has poured out His Spirit with great mercy upon flesh. The anointing of God has been poured out upon impure vessels. The fire, to some degree, did increase purity in the people upon whom it came, but impurities remained. Remaining impurities of flesh and religion were mostly not seen or recognized by the people of God. The glowing fire of the glorious miracles and worship were the focus and not the underlying unseen impurities of flesh and darkness.
THE NEW OUTPOURING BEGINNING IN THIS SEASON IS A HOLY FIRE. GOD IS SENDING AN INVASION OF INTENSELY HOLY, HOLY, HOLY FIRE.
Holy fire is beginning a great impartation for purification. Underlying impurities are being exposed and dissolved by pure LOVE. No fleshly attitudes will remain and those who make provision for the flesh in their ministries will dissolve. NONE will remain with self-seeking impurities or carnality of any kind. The Holy Fire of His pure love invasion leaves no room for anything else. The Holy Fire will consume all darkness among the people of God. This is not a fire only for the world; this is HOLY FIRE for the elders, the apostles, prophets, evangelist, shepherds, teachers, and all who name the name of Jesus.
This fire is much like the fire of the first century in the time of Ananias and Sapphira. It is more intense than the fire of the great repentance revivals and the Holy Spirit outpourings that brought spots of revival and renewal fires in recent decades. Holy fire cuts like a two-edged sword to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow. The massive systems of mixture are being destroyed; all chaff and stubble is under fires of purification.
Joel 2:2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains....
Mal 3:1-6: "Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming," Says the LORD of hosts. "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire And like launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness.
"Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem Will be pleasant to the LORD, As in the days of old, As in former years.
And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness Against sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers, Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien; Because they do not fear Me," Says the LORD of hosts.
"For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
Mal 3:17 4:3: "They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him." Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.
"For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up," Says the LORD of hosts, "That will leave them neither root nor branch.
But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this," Says the LORD of hosts.
Joel 2:25-29: "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.
"And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Rev 22:20-21: He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Beyond the cleansing judgments, the renewed world will be as a garden of God in which His heavenly ways will rule by His love across the world. The glory of God shall fill the earth.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit - Rom 5:25.
Chapter 6 – Love’s Garden of Righteousness, Peace, and Joy
This season in which we now live probably has a much more profound historical significance than most people recognize. Only with Holy Spirit enlightenment and revelation can we begin to really know what God is doing and thereby more fully understand the times in which we live.
There are now at least two distinctly different levels of God’s intervention and working with mankind.
God’s love is like a magnet. The love of God is a force that draws some but repels others. When God’s love comes near people of one polarity, there is a strong drawing to God and then to one another. However, if the love of God in the Holy Ghost comes near people of the other polarity, they are instantly repelled.
When the power of God’s love carried by the Holy Ghost comes near a group of people, there will be two distinctly different reactions. Those with a polarity of humble emptiness and spiritual hunger are drawn to God and His love. Connection is made and an impartation of love, righteousness, peace, and joy along with power and wisdom flowing into them.
Others with a polarity of pride and fullness who are not hungry for God are repelled by God’s love. Separation takes place and an impartation of deception begins to rule the life of the person. Turning away from the manifest presence of God’s love in the Holy Spirit will always open the door for deception.
In a secular or religious environment where there is NOT a strong presence of God’s love in the Holy Spirit, there will be an atmosphere of natural thinking and natural relationships. The natural relationships may or may not be religious in nature. The people may know about God and seek to serve Him. In this environment the people of both polarities can function in a somewhat peaceful cooperation.
However, when an increased intervention of the manifest presence of God in the Holy Spirit pours out pure holy love over the entire group, the drawing and repelling will begin bringing a separation among the people who have different polarities.
Those who are repelled cannot see their lack of love and usually strongly believe that the other group has been drawn away into gross error by strange spirits. Being apart from the strong presence of God in the Holy Spirit, they will receive strong delusions that open them to cunningly devised deceptions. Their deceptions seem so much like the truth that it is difficult for many to discern what is really going on.
Supernatural power will work with the deceived people doing miracles that draw large crowds that will follow after them into the same strong delusions. This is the highly visible false revival type atmosphere that further makes room and provision for the darkness and perversions of this season. This is a devious counterfeit of the real outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the love of God bringing the miracles of Christ Jesus to the world. Many people are further driven from the real when the counterfeit is uncovered. Without the pure love and guidance of the Holy Spirit, they will see all works of miracles including the true works from God as part of the counterfeit.
2 Thessalonians: 2: 9-12: The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
There is also another part of those who have received strong delusion that are the ones stuck in the mud of dead religion. They are just as deceived as the counterfeit miracle working crowd pleasers. The stuck in the mud group go through their religious rituals and ceremonies while allowing every form of sinful worldly perversion to take over the minds of the people. They proclaim peace while the enemy takes their lives and their children’s lives, and there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14).
God’s answer to all this is to send an untouchable undercover Holy Ghost intervention.
This intervention is unseen and untouched by the deceived religious and secular groups that have locked themselves into the strong delusions. They cannot even see the real move of God gliding in beneath the darkness imparting the pure holy love of God that implants the whole council of the truth of Christ Jesus alive and well in a people consumed by the love of God in the Holy Ghost.
In small groups in secluded places, the presence of God fills the hearts and lives of the people. In seclusion unseen be the marauding masses, miracles of healing of every sort and miracles of provision in the glory of His presence are happening. Also as the people go out one by one and two by two the undercover miraculous works of God are with them. Mercy and grace are carried to all who God directs them to minister to among those they encounter in their daily lives. Loving, humble leaders are raised up among the people without the fanfare of man’s hands but ordained by the hands of God for the work of assisting people into the reality of Christ Jesus in and with them by the Holy Spirit.
God is love, and God is Spirit. When the Spirit of God descends upon a person or a gathering of people, love permeates them. The spiritual liquid fire of God’s perfect love fills and saturates everything under His Holy Spirit canopy of love.
Spirit God imparts the pure love of His life into our spirit making our spirit and His Spirit to become one Spirit.
We are spirit-beings who live in a body and have a soul. Our spirit-being receives Spirit God and becomes the life of God in our bodies.
We become His love, His righteousness, His peace, and His joy. Sin becomes a foreign concept as our life becomes one with His life.
Our wellbeing is no longer determined by natural circumstances. We are spirit beings alive in the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of Christ is alive in us.
Spirit reality is greater than natural temporal reality. The natural was made and consists by the Spirit. Ruling and reigning with Christ is God’s Spirit abiding in and becoming one with our spirit. What Christ believes and does in our hearts is greater and more powerful than created reality. Creation is affected by and ordered by the attributes of Christ Jesus in His body on earth.
In our designed and fully restored state, we are the Body of Christ, the temple of God on earth – a place for Him to abide and interact with the natural world to bring forth His plan and will for Planet Earth and all that is upon it.
All the evil disobedience and rebellion against God and His perfect plan for Planet Earth must be dissolved. Myriads of powerful holy angels are released to work with those in whom Christ fully abides in cleansing the earth of all that opposes God and in bringing forth His love garden of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
There is no doubt whatsoever that God in man is releasing the rule of love on earth to replace the defeated rule of evil in this world.
Once again, as in the Garden of Eden, the beautiful world ruled and ordered by God’s love will show forth His glory in perfect righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. This world will be a showplace to all creation of the King of Glory. All of this is planted in the hearts of God’s kingdom people and will never stop until it is fully established in the everlasting glory of God.
There is no end to the increase of His kingdom that is coming forth like a garden full of seed underground awaiting the springtime to grow forth and fill all the earth with its fruit. This move of God is the sprouting of the seed of the kingdom of His love underground. The living seed that is fully alive and vibrant with the fullness of Christ and His kingdom. This is the big one – the unseen work that will suddenly arise in the glory of God beyond the cataclysmic cleansing judgments of all that lifts itself against God
The fire of God’s love will destroy all that is of the deceptions of the above ground counterfeit works. The Lord will make it clear that He never knew those that are proud and filled and have no hunger for Him (Mat 7:21-23). Every tree that God has not planted will be cut down.
Presumption is not faith but a certain sense of human entitlement that demands of God. It leads to the delusion that man’s control of his own destiny is a good thing and that all is well. God will often allow what the person or group has presumed to come to them but not for their edification. On the contrary, it will be for their ruination. Their presumptions upon the promises of God without the process of cleansing and obedience will only lead to more delusion and eventual dissolution.
The same fire of God’s love fills, sustains, and empowers those who are humble, empty of self and hungry for God and His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
The intervention of God has begun in the visible world in the cleansing judgments of God. And at the same time, under the cover of the darkness, the invasion of the Holy Ghost is intervening to complete the humble and hungry people of God. The pure holy love of God in the Holy Ghost is empowering and establishing the humble mature sons and daughters as seeds of God’s kingdom to replenish the earth with the glory of God.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit – Gal 5:25.
Live in the Spirit, Walk in the Spirit,
