AND THE LORD SAYS,

I will show you great and mighty things that will lead to “Forward Progression” because of the Word.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

First, faith Must come – then obedience follows. Faith comes first to strengthen obedience.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: Isaiah 1:19

Faith is easy. It comes as a gift from the Lord. Once faith is received, the believer has choices whether to obey or disobey a command. True faith does not question the command – it does whatever is spoken by Me.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:8

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:14-17

Now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Abraham did not ask questions – when he was commanded to offer his only son as a sacrifice. He listened for the complete instruction, and rose up early the next morning to obey.

Abraham could not sleep the night before because he had heard a Word from the Lord.  Abraham was willing, but he was more EAGER than willing – to obey the command of the Lord.

Abraham was excited about the truth. He was excited about the blessing that comes from sacrifice. Abraham was excited about worship with God. Abraham was excited about being in the perfect will of God. Genesis 22:1-18

Keys to Obedience

• Get the full and complete instruction
• Get understanding
• Pray for the answer
• Ask specific questions
• If the instruction is still not clear – such as timing, place, should another person engage in the same action. Get confirmation of what you hear in the written Word of God

Act Upon the Gift of faith not the Measure of Faith.

• Do not be afraid of circumstances and outcomes

• Rule out carnal thinking; discern the voice speaking and allow the Holy Spirit to confirm the Lord’s voice.
• Act on God’s Word
• Shut down fear

The winds have already shifted on behalf of My people. Man cannot take over that which does not belong to him. I gave man dominion, not ownership.

11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 1 Chronicles 29:11-12

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:15-17

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Psalm 24:1-2

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1:26-29

I AM taking back My world. I AM taking the world back from thieves that have corrupted the land. There will absolutely be no more Robin Hoods. They claim to rob for the poor.

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. John 12:8

No more robbing period for capital gain from rich or poor. I AM exposing every thief. I AM taking the wealth and distributing it among those ones that believe My Word.

16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. 19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, 20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. 22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Acts 16:16-33

20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. 21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. 22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. 23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. Proverbs 13:20-23

22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Romans 14:22-23

I have made a “Benchmark”. Wherever you put your faith – there you will find provision.

Picture a little old lady sitting on a bench wondering where her next meal is coming from. She uses her faith. She offerd a sacrifice of trust and belief. She worships the Lord. She prays.

I will bring her gift to the bench because – this is where her faith lives! The old lady prays on the same bench every day.

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:1

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

My people I AM calling you to see – there is no need to rob. Your gift will be delivered wherever your faith lives. My children this is the definition of “Forward Progression”.

Visions

I saw a pregnant woman. She was wearing a gray top and a pair of tights. One leg of the pants was orange and the other leg gray.

This represents change in the Body of Christ. Man cannot refuse this new birth I am releasing. The different colors indicate I AM breaking up separatism – and bringing unity back to My house. Satan has tried to split My Bride into actions of death and suicide. But A Threefold Cord is not easily broken.

And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Mark 11:17

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 1:17-20

Vision

I saw a cross in the street. Looking closer the cross was not just in the street it was painted and sealed inside the concrete.

Everywhere My people go – they will be reminded of My sacrifice for their sins. No man can take any type justification for righteousness. John 19:1-42

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:4

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:24-28

Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10

My Thoughts

People have stated that I use too much scripture in my post. The Lord has told me to go into every nation and preach the Gospel. Well some nations are severely persecuted because of the Bible.

Prophetic Words are challenging for some people. Knowing how to use the gift of faith and the measure of faith is instrumental. I don’t try to figure out God’s mind. I just relate what He shares. I am His Handmaiden.

Many are afraid to own, carry, or possess a Bible. Those that have physical Bibles count it a privilege.

The only way I know the Lord is speaking is He gives me pictures, clues, signs, hints, parts of scripture, dreams, and vision. What I see or hear must be found in God’s Holy Word. Otherwise, it is just my opinion. I don’t want to be a lying – false Prophet.

The Lord still wants sacrifice from His people. But He still requires obedience. What are you willing to sacrifice for “The Benchmark Blessing?”

The Ram in the bush does not come until the sacrifice is offered.

The Lord is waiting to give each of us a “Benchmark”. Move forward in your faith and see the progression of your faithfulness.

22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 1 Samuel 15:22-23
