When you are working the harvest with all of your heart He gives you, "Handfuls on Purpose" ~ Ruth 2 » prophetic word http://ruth2.com a publication of Glorybound Ministries- Jim and Penny Raine Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:39:53 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Spring Cleaning of the heart http://ruth2.com/2010/03/spring-cleaning-of-the-heart/ http://ruth2.com/2010/03/spring-cleaning-of-the-heart/#comments Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:03:06 +0000 Penny http://ruth2.com/?p=461 We used to fellowship with a group of believers that were so hungry for Holiness. Not the rules, but the true heart of Holiness. Hard to find folks like that. In fact I can’t say that I know very many. Ones who seek His heart and care that He cares about daily decisions we make. Folks who heed His vice even if it doesn’t exactly make sense at the time. Now I know there are some folks like that who take things to far but to be honest I would rather surround myself with folks who are too serious about God rather than those who are not serious enough. Anyway. So we would meet with these hungry folks once a week, and there were some with some prophetic giftings. And before we got to the actual meeting place it was like the priests of old who would cleanse themselves first, you just knew that you knew if you were hiding anything it would be found out. If you had bad feelings for someone or had sinned without repenting or ANYTHING, you knew it would come out, and that was how we wanted it. We were serious about getting real with God. What I wouldn’t give to have some more of that. But since we knew things would get real, we learned to live real, we learned to take a spiritual accounting, asking the Lord to examine us just like King David did.

Most folks these days are too busy trying to hide things from the Lord rather than asking Him personally to uncover them.

He wants us to come clean before him. You can’t use a dirty rag to clean up the town. It is only when we get real with Him that He gets real about using us. When was the last time you asked Him to clean the dark closets of your heart?

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalms 139:23-24

2009 March 7
 
I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.
AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE – EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.
For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires-such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.
There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting-including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,
“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).
God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.
The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11-12).
In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.” Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7).
This is a righteous judgment-just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah’s generation.
WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE?
First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.
As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We “flee like a bird to a mountain.” Or, as David says, “He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven-his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men” (v. 4). “In the Lord I take refuge” (v. 1).
I will say to my soul: No need to run…no need to hide. This is God’s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take-trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.
Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.
God bless and keep you,
In Christ,
DAVID WILKERSON
