I Hear the Train a Comin' and God Says, "Ready or Not, Here it Comes"

I Hear the Train a Comin' and God Says, "Ready or Not, Here it Comes"

While in Calgary, Alberta, Canada last week I began to hear what sounded like a stampede approaching in the spirit. Calgary is known for the "Calgary Stampede" celebration. As I listened more closely I realized that it was the rumble of a train barreling toward us. God spoke to me that He is moving quickly and "ready or not, here it comes."

As I was praying about it, I immediately received a text message from one of my intercessors who did not know what I had just experienced. She was seeing a light coming through a window at me and told me that it was important to press in right and respond quickly to the plans that God has spoken to me. That was a major confirmation of what God is speaking to all of us right now.

Don't Get Distracted

One of the major ways that God speaks to me is through things that happen in my life. These events are often like a prophetic act or they are symbolic of what God is saying and doing on a larger scale. I prayed before I left on my trip to Calgary for God to show me what I needed to pack for the trip. Since I travel a lot, I am normally well prepared for just about anything, yet I ended up getting distracted and forgot the equipment I needed for an event. I also made the huge mistake of not checking the weather! I arrived from California to Canada to five degree temperatures and I was wearing my very thin "Starsky and Hutch" leather jacket. Wow!

God was saying prophetically to not allow distractions, which keep us from hearing Him and being unprepared. I realized later that this message was also contained in a prophetic word I had released on September 1, 2010 (read on the Elijah List).

Watch for Amazing Miracles

We are about to have an encounter with our destinies and it will not be stopped if we don't give up. We are in a time right now that can be compared to what Jesus' disciples went through in John 6:16–21. They had just fed more than 5,000 people miraculously, and Jesus sent the disciples ahead of Him in the boat. He instructed them to cross Lake Capernaum (Sea of Galilee) without Him. In verses 18-19, "A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened."

It had seemed that God had abandoned them...in verses 20-21 Jesus addresses this: "But He said to them, 'It is I; don't be afraid.' Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading."

Many of us have been going through this very thing, where we have seen God do miracles but suddenly it is dark and the winds and waves of our situations are raging against us. Notice that the disciples did not recognize Jesus as He approached to save them. When God does something new, oftentimes we are not able to understand it all at first. It is interesting that it says when "they were willing" to invite Jesus into their situation that they immediately arrived at their destiny. God accelerated their journey just after they experienced an intense storm and as they cooperated with Him.

Prophetic Word: Suddenly Advance into New Times and Places with God

God is doing miracles through situations that appear the opposite. The appearance of loss will bring new life and accelerate us into our life's purpose like never before.

This is a time to not be afraid and to be ready to allow God to step into our situations. Over the next few weeks it is time to sort through all that God has been speaking and promising us.

Is there anything you can do now to prepare yourself? Get ready to move quickly. Let's watch for unusual situations to suddenly advance us into new times and places with God.

Come Out of the Clutter and Hear the Message of God A very strong and clear word came to

Garris Elkins:

Come Out of the Clutter and Hear the Message of God

A very strong and clear word came to me recently:

"During this season, stay away from over-scripted, over-studied and over-choreographed personal lives and corporate church gatherings. God is up to something new and our planning can be the very clutter that dulls our ability to hear the voice of God."

We are living in cluttered times that have produced distracted lives. Family activities and careers ask for their fair share of our day. Ministry commitments ask us for more of our time. The needs of others stand in line at the door of our lives and want to come in. Each of these demands are good by themselves, but together they can become overwhelming in their ability to fill every spare moment of our lives. At some point we must push life back and create a place to listen to what the Spirit would say.

Take Time to Come Out of the Clutter and Hear the Message of God

John the Baptist stood in the wilderness and cried out for people to prepare for the coming of the Lord.

"Prepare the way for the Lord's coming! Clear the road for Him!" Mark 1:3

All the people in Jerusalem and all the people in the surrounding countryside left their known civilization and walked out into the uncluttered wilderness in response to John's voice. A friend recently told me that at that time there were over a million people in Jerusalem and the surrounding region. Imagine a group of people that large walking away from the city and out into the wilderness to hear about Jesus. They left the clutter of their everyday lives and walked out into the simplicity of the wilderness to hear the message of God.

Paul addressed cluttered lives when he wrote to the Church in Corinth:

"The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives should not focus only on their marriage. Those who weep or who rejoice or who buy things should not be absorbed by their weeping or their joy or their possessions. Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away. I want you to be free from the concerns of this life." 1 Corinthians 7:29-32

Later in verse 35 Paul wrote:

"I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible."

Paul was listing, among those things that can distract us, our relationships, our failures, our successes and our possessions. When all of the stuff of life begins to fill our lives, we become absorbed into them and take on their shape – and our image changes. Like wet clay, we are crafted into an image of the distractions in our lives instead of being absorbed and molded into the image of Christ.

Words of Promise Spoken in the Past are Now in Orbit Over Our Lives Waiting for God's Signal to Land

Profound and epic change is taking place upon the earth. Promises spoken by God are hanging above the Church seeking places to fall. God is looking for target audiences – not target audiences that come from opinion polls or logical conclusions but target audiences that have prepared themselves for His coming. These target audiences are those personal lives and public ministries that have cleared away landing zones for Heaven to touch down, much like an "LZ" (Landing Zone) that would be provided in a military operation for an incoming aircraft.

Now is the time to push back the clutter and distractions of life that are occupying your time and space and draining your away your energy.

For the last year, I have felt that much of what Heaven wants to do upon the earth is now hovering over the Church, ready to fall into our midst. Words of promise spoken in the past are now in orbit over our lives waiting for God's signal to land. Heaven is prepared for this landing. God is asking His people to prepare for His coming by providing uncluttered landing zones where His Spirit can set down and do extraordinary things. Remove the clutter and distractions and welcome the coming of the Lord.

The New Year - Year of the Loin

Ezekiel 12:21

²¹Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 12:22

²²“Son of man, what is this proverb you people have concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are long and every vision fails’?

Ezekiel 12:23

²³“Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel.” But tell them, “The days draw near as well as the fulfillment of every vision.

Ezekiel 12:24

²⁴“For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

Ezekiel 12:25

²⁵“For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it,” declares the Lord GOD.’”

Ezekiel 12:26

²⁶Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Ezekiel 12:27

²⁷“Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’

Ezekiel 12:28

²⁸“Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,”’” declares the Lord GOD.

The battle has begun

The battle has begun; it is time for the troops to move forward. All those who are wound must stay behind or those who no longer have a desire to fight and have lost their zeal for the Kingdom of God, and want to rest. Do so.

As David did
1 Samuel 30:9 ( KJV )

⁹So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

1 Samuel 30:10 ( KJV )

¹⁰But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

For David did in recovering all what was stolen at Ziklag; so now go forth and redeem all that has been stolen from our Lord and the people of God.

1 Samuel 30:18 ( KJV )

¹⁸And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

1 Samuel 30:19 ( KJV )

¹⁹And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

It is a new day, time to recover all that has been stolen, time for battle, not reliving the things of the past. If you are wounded get healed….if your tired….get rest.

But the Lord says get out of the way and do not hold back what I have declared to happen or I the Lord will become your enemy. Stand aside those who live in past revelations and generations for the Army of the Lord is on the March….

Joel 2:1 ( KJV )

¹Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

Joel 2:2 ( KJV )

²A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

Joel 2:3 ( KJV )

³A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

Judging Others

Matthew 7:1 ( NASB )

¹“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.

7:2 ( NASB )

²“For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

7:3 ( NASB )

³“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

7:4 ( NASB )

⁴“Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?

7:5 ( NASB )

⁵“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

The lord spoke to me today......said tell them to start to clean there own houses.....they pay to much attention to everyone else while there houses are filthy

I will judge there homes when they come before me...so tell them to get the log out of their eyes

THE LAST OUTPOURING by David Wilkerson | May 10, 2010

THE LAST OUTPOURING by David Wilkerson | May 10, 2010

I know some will not receive what I am about to say, yet many will. I do not believe we have yet seen the glory and fullness of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as prophesied by Joel. What we have seen are just a few sprinkles! Yes, we have had a worldwide charismatic renewal and love has brought many together. It has been an experience shared worldwide, yet it is just a foretaste.

God will permit nothing to hinder what he plans to do. The enemy is in for a surprise. Just as it appears the church will be inundated by a satanic flood, the Spirit will raise up a standard. Understand what that standard is, and you will understand what God is about to do. The standard is a holy people, pure, undefiled, delivered from the corruption that is in the world. That standard is a new breed of sanctified Christians, who will shine forth as lights in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. It will not be just a renewal of love and praise, but a restoration of holiness unto the Lord!

There will still be shouting and praise, but it will be the shout of victory over sin and compromise, fulfilling the purpose of the last outpouring: "That all who call on his name shall be delivered..." (Joel 2:32). Delivered from what? From sin! From the spirit of the world!

We will not have the fullness of the Spirit's outpouring until baptized people separate themselves completely from the world. We must emphasize separation and purity of heart. The purpose of the Spirit's coming is to sanctify and prepare a people for the Lord's return, a people without spot or wrinkle.

When the fullness of the Spirit's outpouring comes upon all flesh, conviction for sin will be everywhere. "He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8). That is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit!

Tragically, too many speak with tongues, but then live like the devil. Sin was never uprooted and all they received was an experience of ecstasy. God blessed them just enough to call them into a deeper life of holiness and submission, but they stopped and went about saying, "I’ve got the Holy Ghost."

Oh, there is so much more! I thank God for the privilege of praying in an unknown tongue; it is my way of releasing all the pent-up praises to God in a communication beyond my understanding. But you can speak with the tongues of men and even angels, and without charity, you have received nothing. But I say it goes even deeper. You are not truly baptized with the Holy Spirit until every hidden part of your soul has been exposed—and every sin confessed and forsaken.
