Why have ye built altars
unto the Lord when He has not told you to do so? Then out
of pride and vainglory You then bring your corrupt
praises and supposed godly deeds and place them before Me
on these fleshly, man-made altars of self promotion that you
built of your own accord. These altars are part of the fleshly
and man-made construct men in this hour call spiritual or
prophetic ministry. these carnal
and corrupt Men have in great pretense, and deceit sought
to try to build The Kingdom of God using the principles of
earthly and worldly commerce instead of relying on the Holy
Spirit alone. These then with great relish boast in their
hearts of the great works and accomplishments they have done
in the name of the Lord. and then seek to justify their evil and corrupt deeds by saying;
See all those who are blessed by my ministry and Thus convince
themselves to think this is all pleasing to the Lord. But
the Lord says that the altars that have been constructed were
not My doing and I am not pleased
with these corrupt and perverse man-made fleshly efforts.
Know that many ministries today are like Saul. Know that these
constructs have not come about because of perverse prophets
and teachers alone, but that these false altars and false
ministries are the result of My people
crying out for a king to rule them. “Give us a pastor and
a prophet to speak to us so we will know the truth and not
be deceived,” they say. How is it that they that are baptized with the
Holy Spirit do not know the Holy Spirit? How is it that they
do not know the voice of the Holy Spirit nor that He is to
lead and guide them and keep them? How also is it that these
people do not hear My voice or recognize
their Shepherd, but rather flee unto corrupt and deceitful
wolves?
John 5:41-44 I receive not honour (Praise, worship, or offerings) from (Corrupt
and perverse)
men. But I know you, that ye have
not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not:
if another
shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour
that cometh from God only? (Many things
that are done out of supposed faith and belief are empty and
void before Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost and therefore
such prayers, such fasting, such faith and such belief returns
again unto these empty and void for they have not the non
self-seeking Agape of God.)
Like Saul, these carnal and earthly ministries keep to themselves
a great portion of spoils, from the illegal tithes, and illegal
offerings they receive in my name claiming to use it only
to build My Kingdom whereas they are devouring wolves that
fall upon their prey and the spoil their of to greatly enrich
themselves and to as it were live as kings upon the backs
of My flock. See and
judge, have these not patterned themselves after the Lord’s
of commerce and captains of industry of this world. See and
judge, have these have made a business out of My
ministry and a merchandise of you. These false preachers and
teachers have committed grievous sin and greatly err having
put a price on My truth. And you
have also greatly sinned and erred by placing your faith and
trust in these in effect becoming their disciples by the testimony
of your willfully feeding them with tithes and offerings that
they can compound sin upon sin As they have offered up these
defiled offerings and sacrifices in My name and by the sustenance
thereof they continue In the public arena to move in a perverted
mixture of flesh and spiritual gifts and operations teaching,
prophesying, and deceiving many as angels of light. These are truly the blind leading the blind as
have deceived themselves thinking I have given them an authority
that I have not. They think that since I move in their midst
that My blessings are on them, but
it is as it were a few crumbs falling from the table for the
sake of the weak and downtrodden in My flock.
Therefore I would exhort to these ravening wolves is sheep’s
garments, Relinquish surrender My
people unto Me! Surrender the people who you were commanded
to serve who you have instead brought into bondage under your
authority. Let My people go! Release
them and allow My Holy Spirit to come upon them as I will
each one individually that they will hear My
voice, that they will receive individually and personally
My guidance and direction. You have said that you would be
their shepherd and protect them from the enemy (And feed them
and instruct them and teach them all truth, Ye
blind guides who dwell in darkness how can you protect them?
How can you feed them? How can you instruct and teach all
truth when you know not the truth and the path you tread leads
to death?
Know and understand that every child must of a truth learn
certain things on its own. They must by needs
be scrape their knees, and when they trip and fall I will
come to raise them up to stand once again upon their feet.
Do you not see that the scraping, and the falling and the
bruising builds character and strength?
And by taking this away amongst many other things the children
become pampered and spoiled and never rise up to accomplish
anything, but remain as it were spiritual babes in adult bodies
as is seen in church to church, ministry to ministry, and
denomination to denomination in this day and hour.
You have brought up a generation of children whom ye have
maimed and torn, blinded and made deaf who you have made by
design unable to function on their own. They wet themselves,
they skin their knee, they stumble in darkness and they cry
out and run to the Eli the prophet for the word of the Lord.
And they cry out in weakness and despair and run to Saul to
lead them to victory the control you have exerted over My
people is not of Me know ye not what spirit you serve? Ye
in so doing serve only the wicked one as ye walk in the spirit
of darkness and of antichrist. You by your traditions and
doctrines of men have established chains of command, dividing
my sheep into ranks and orders thinking all the time you were
doing a good thing By bringing order to a flock in which every
pastor and ministry does that which is right in
their eyes and leads the flock under them their own way. Surely
this is a sign to this generation that the flock of God is
shepherd-less, that the flock of God and its blind teachers
have lost theirs way and KNOW NOT MY VOICE. I did not speak
to you to do these things! Neither have I commanded any other
to lord it over My flock and make disciples after their own image and likeness.
Therefore I sternly warn you shepherds repent, remove thy
shepherds cloak of sheepskin and put aside thy rods and thy
staffs and stand aside that I may guide my flock in and out
and here a little and there a little that line upon line they
would learn of Me and hear My voice once more.
As ye have said that if these ever leave your flock they way
you will miss the moving of My Spirit. So shall I depart from
thee and what little spirit and what little anointing ye have
felt in times past ye shall seek me and find me no more. Ye
shall pray and lay on hands and it shall be as empty words
on empty heads. Know that God is not mocked, as ye have made
a mockery of Me, and of My Spirit
becoming before men. Ye have become blasphemers, as ye have
taken that which if of Me and of My Spirit and ascribed those things unto yourselves.
I am the Lord and I distribute My
gifts and ministries unto those who love me and diligently
seek me. I pour out My Spirit on those who ask and seek and
knock of Me. I outpour My Spirit individually not the corporately.
I will therefore bypass
you and the systems you have established in My
name, and shall tend unto My flock myself even as it is recorded
so in scripture. Know ye that the day and the ministration
of Saul is over.
I indeed shall speak to the individual who asks of Me. I indeed shall show them mysteries and great revelations
that many who claim to know Me have
not seen or understood. I indeed shall show the folly of all
your efforts in My name, for your kingdom is not My Kingdom! My Spirit
and My Spirit alone will make the way for My Kingdom. My young
men and women of spirit shall arise and shine forth and see
victory of battle. Their power and authority without your
covering, without your approval and with out your teaching
and prophetic declarations will bring to shame many who have
positioned themselves as great warriors and leaders over My
flock.
Do not be deceived by the anointing of My
gifts that have come upon you from time to time. Do not be
deceived through the prophetic words you have spoken in part,
all of which you have greatly misused. The purpose of My gifting
and anointing has been to glorify My Name in your midst and
to call you and my flock unto true repentance. I am seeking
in my people a humility that you have never known. Serve your
brothers as being above you, honor my flock above yourself,
and watch as I build My Kingdom through them as I give them
a word, as I give them a dream as I give them a vision. Look
and learn, see and understand that My
calling in you was never about yourself, and your carnal thoughts
and desires.
Know that I have had many of my servants hidden away with
Me and now is come the time I shall
begin to bring them forth and use them. They that have been
abiding with me, they that do know my voice My Kingdom dwells
within them. These are they that will not seek to establish
a reputation for themselves, but their only desire will be
to glorify Me. They will not put
a price on My truth but will give
what I have given them without measure. They will not appoint
themselves authority over My people
but will point the people to Me.
My truth I will strip away the traditions, it shall strip
away the legalism, the false teaching and the false kingdom-building
that has destroyed so many in the past. As My
truth abounds you will see a great wonder, for I will cause
My truth to spread from person to person, both here and in
other places around the world. Many of the giants in the land
that you have sought to defeat will lose their footing as
I continue to move. They will be defeated from within and
not through political power.
This is truly a day of new things and of new ministry.
