"Gradient Measures"
5/14/13 2:55:00 AM PDTGradient measures is something used in tracking video quality. I felt the Lord say gradient measures and then I looked it up and found a couple articles.
I feel like the Lord is saying " I am measuring I am tracking your growth in a number of areas of your lives I'm watching waiting and waiting for the one who follow me and listen for my voice and do what I say to do because obedience is important in this hour beloved. Obedience is vital in the hour that is coming upon the earth - you must be ready to do what I say to do and should not act impulsively or presumptuously!
Stay your heart on Me. Anticipation for My will in all matters is vital. Many peoples lives will depend on it. For I have a lifeline to throw to you and many others have a lifeline to throw out to many who will be in trouble - who will be in crisis and in this hour the world is still in slumber over the things that are coming up on the earth.
Life goes on and people want it to go on the way it is in this place and they don't anticipate what is actually coming. There many who've anticipated over and over again the things that are coming and who were made ready to help all who will come to Me.
I'm giving you my peace so that you'll be able to share it with others. I am giving you my love so that you'll be able to tell others who don't know how much I love them. You are the light of the world - you are the city set on a hill and I will take and draw men to you and women and children so that they will know how much I love them. The world will be in confusion hey hey. The world will see much stress in the days ahead but I am the D stressor I am working give them peace -nothing else in this world will give them the peace that I only can give them.
I've told you many times that there's a titanic for every system of man. Man has built his kingdom but I am interested in building My kingdom through the hearts of men and women, boys and girls, and I'll pour out my Spirit on all flesh, hey. I'm interested in teaching hey hey hey hey , my children all that they need to know about me but who can I send them to where can I send them to get honesty and truth ? You have to be beacons of light. You have to be the beacons of truth so soak in my word, my truth, and my presence."
Then I had an impression of the Snowball it was rolling rolling in the snow getting bigger like when you build a snowman and it kept rolling and rolling until became like a big cylinder of snow and ice hey hey and I felt like the Lord was illustrating the acceleration of glory that's coming and the acceleration also of things that we don't want to see. Snow often stands for His glory. But also it comes from winter weather.
Then I had an impression of someone writing things down in a book and then there were assignments being given to people there were notes being made and they were handed out to couriers and the couriers were taking them then to distribute to the people for whom those assignments were intended. They seemed to be very important, & to be vital to the plans of the Lord.
I saw papers that seemed to have like numbers 1- 7 , instructions and orders on them so that they were more than just a singular message but instructions -like teaching and insight into how things should be carried out . So I felt like these were really important revelations the Lord was releasing- instructions for those that are called according to his purposes.
“Time in a Bottle”
March 24, 2013
An old song came to mind as the Lord said “time in a bottle”
Time In A Bottle Lyrics
Songwriters: Croce, James
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
It was like a love song God was singing to us tenderly. He did design us to spend eternity with Him.“ There is no one else like you, and there is no one else like Me. I value the time we spend together. I’m always looking forward to you talking to Me, and spending time with Me. I love watching you play. I love watching you enjoy your children and grandchildren and I love you celebrating LIFE. I created you to enjoy life. It was sin that made life hard and burdensome. I love holding with Me. I love watching you play. I love watching you enjoy your children and grandchildren and I love you celebrating LIFE. I created you to enjoy life. It was sin that made life hard and burdensome. I love holding you in My arms of love, even when you can’t feel Me, I am there.
So rest in ME beloveds, despite all the turmoil and winds of fear blowing, and the actual winds of destruction. I know what is best for you. Quiet yourself and listen for My voice. Be aware of My presence, that you can hear My instructions. For only I know what is coming. The forecast seems bleak, but TRUTH and LIGHT will prevail over the darkness that is arising. As it arises, My light will shine ever the more brightly from within you. I’m not
Asking for you to strive . I’m asking for you to come away with ME, and find rest for your souls.
Fear will only cause stress and strife. Come inward into Me. Look for Me within, and rest in the shadow of My wings. Lay all your burdens down at My feet. Lay all the worries at the cross, and leave them there. REFUSE to worry. Refuse to give in to the clamor of the enemy’s voices. For they are many in this hour. Give your heart a rest, on My chest. I will care FOR you.
I am in process of rooting out some deeply seated unbelief in hearts that have been battered and worn. I WILL come through for you. I WILL provide what you need. NOT what you want always, but what you need to do the work I’ve called you to do. I want for you to walk in the light as I am in the light. I want for you to be a follower, not to lead Me. You are followers of Christ you proclaim, so follow, don’t take the lead. Let me lead, and guide you and show you the best way to go. You can’t even get direction if you don’t spend time at My feet. So come to ME when your heart is weary and don’t be swayed by the opinions of others.
I am here for you, and I will always be here for you. I love you as no other can love you. I know every hair on your head. I know everything about you. So who better is there to take all your concerns to ? Only don’t fret over them, just turn them over to ME, and ALLOW ME to work on the problem.
TRUST doesn’t come easy for some of you I know. But there is only one way to learn, and that is to take the first step and wait, and trust in ME. I am here for you and will show you the way to go.
In the garden, alone with Adam and Eve, I walked with them, and talked with them. I came to restore that communication with mankind, that relationship. It was lost in the garden, but alas, I have made you, My church, My garden of reknown, and remember how Mary thought she found the gardener and it was Me, her Lord and Savior ? I am the perfect gardener. I nurture and care for the flowers and plants of all kinds in My Garden. I water My spices, and I water My flowering plants. I water My trees, and shrubs, My fruit trees and My berry bushes. All plants are vital to life. Thus so are you vital to My plan. So don’t let the enemy make you think I’ve forgotten you, or neglectful of you, or have or will pass you by. I will not leave you out of anything. I am here for you, and I want you to be there for Me as well, listening for My voice, for My instructions.
I want you to be obedient as Joseph was, when the angel told him to flee Bethlehem, he obeyed and fled. He didn’t balk at My instructions. So must you be ready to be obedient to do anything I tell you. So listen and know that I have your best interest in mind, I have good things for you. I am a good father who gives good gifts to His children. And like a good father, I also protect My children, by leading them out of harms way when necessary, and leading them away somewhere else when I still have work for them to do.
To be THAT obedient, you know you must lay more of self down and pick up MY plan. That dying to self is not easy. But it is vital to the plan. It is vital to you fulfilling the call on your life. I have the way planned. So listen beloveds, and do not avoid time spent with Me. I love you and am here, even when you can’t feel ME. Cling to ME beloveds. Cling to ME.”
“The Rides of March”
March 15th, 2013“These are the days men have awaited in trepidation for. These days are the days of great turmoil and there will be confusion, because of the rebuilding of all that defiles, that is in the heart of the wicked ones. There is much death coming. The horses have started up and there will be even greater escalation than what you’ve seen even this year thus far.
There is a conjoining of opposing forces and likewise there will be a conjoining of MY forces in the earth. I will break down the walls of division in many, that MY purposes will be fulfilled. For if you work together to declare the end from the beginning, to declare MY purposes, My promises, MY glory, there will come Glory. For I know without My Spirit there can be no repentance as the church needs, so I will work My great and glorious demonstration of My grace in the midst of the fray.
Isa 60:2 AMP For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you. [Isa 60:19-22; Mal 4:2; Rev 21:2,3.]
Betrayal of this nation is at hand. But it will work to only bind together those who are like hearted and willing to lay down their lives for My sake.
For I have ordained the Year of the Lord, and I will MANIFEST My glory to this generation as never before. I WILL prepare you to endure what you must in this hour. I have been preparing you and for this you should be grateful for all the testings and hardships you have endured, for those who have already gone through and overcome, staying IN ME, will be blessed beyond anything they can imagine. But those who have been double minded and trusted in themselves and their wealth, and abilities, will be humbled, so they can be saved in the end.
Dan 4:37 AMP Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, Whose works are all faithful and right and Whose ways are just. And those who walk in pride He is able to abase and humble.
Zeph 2:3 AMP Seek the Lord [inquire for Him, inquire of Him, and require Him as the foremost necessity of your life], all you humble of the land who have acted in compliance with His revealed will and have kept His commandments; seek righteousness, seek humility [inquire for them, require them as vital]. It may be you will be hidden in the day of the Lord's anger.
Arise and take up the SHIELD OF FAITH and ask for even greater faith, and pray for the bringing down of all doubt, unbelief and suspicion in the hearts of men. For I WANT to demonstrate My love to the world, but in many cases, this will only be received if they are broken so they will BEND to My will in their lives. Do not be afraid beloveds for I AM with you. I am in you and am surrounding you with songs of deliverance. Rise up in faith through WORSHIP and declaring My WORD.
I know so many are so weak and broken-hearted. I AM coming to your rescue, and I WILL destroy all the barriers to our love. I will destroy all the hindrances to you receiving the fullness of My promises. REST IN ME. Do not strive. REST and REJOICE for Your King comes to you and will arrest all the enemy has done to defile My sanctuary. Yes there will be those who resist. But I will give you AUTHORITY as I come and when you say things this time, they will listen because they will be met with MY resistance army that will destroy the lies they have been deluded with as you speak truth to them in love.
The spirit of ELIJAH is arising and you will see the conviction in their hearts and you will be filled with joy at the repentance that will come in those who have misunderstood you, and taught faulty understanding of My word. BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR FACES, AS I TOLD EZEKIEL ! Trust in My ability, not your own. Ask for MY compassion and you will get it, and MY bravery, and strength and you will receive it! Do NOT go presumptuously, but only as I lead, just as the Israelites in the desert had to follow the pillar of fire, follow ME, DEPEND ON ME, and not your own strength or ideas. Follow MY PLAN. For I alone know what lies ahead in detail.
The enemy has loosed violence and death, but I am loosing MY KINGDOM as you walk in Faith, you will loose faith into this nation again, but you cannot hide and cower in fear. There is a godly fear, and that you must embrace. But do not fear man or demons. I AM is with you. Who shall you fear if you truly realize I am IN YOU and around you ? Commune with ME daily. Do not neglect our time together. For I will infuse you more and more as you direct your eyes upward. “
"Incredible Boosters"
3/6/13When rockets take off they have powerful booster rockets attached to catapult them into the heavens.
I felt the Lord was saying: "I'm about to bring close to you associations and alignments that will act as catalysts to catapult you into your destinies for many of you could not get off the ground alone because you've been weighed down by burdens, and you need boosters that will encourage you and that will produce effective synergystic power that will cause a great explosion of My glory.
I'm bringing together apostles and prophets who like in Elijah's time have been hidden in caves of the wilderness in training, and now will be brought out and empowered for all to see. They are my high priced treasures in darkness who will shine like diamonds displaying many aspects of My character and glory to the world .
Healing streams are flowing [ impression of running waters of a crystal clear river ] and those devastated by the enemy will be washed in Holy Spirit power and refreshed to shine like stars in the heavens and will teach many the truths they've learned in the many battles they've endured."
Then I saw ampules of liquid, like I've used in hospitals for administering medicine, being broken over some people and some were being injected with the liquid in them with shots, filled with the liquid, and they were afterwards smiling and rejoicing and leaping for JOY had overcome them. The ampules were broken and administered by those in the body who have NOT fallen to mammon and control, but who also know the value of the cross and a crucified life.
You could see the love in their faces as they felt so privileged to love on these wounded warriors and release them from their pain and weakened bodies and souls from years of battle. Many had great scars from the battles, and had become hopeless at times and ashamed. Some felt that way not realizing this was the process of death to self in the way God had led them through, so they would not take the glory for themselves. They were made trustworthy through the suffering much like prophets of old, like Moses and others, and like the early apostles of old.
Liquid LOVE was broken over them to extinguish all the enemy's forces and to empower them for the work God had planned ahead for them. Now they have a bit more training in walking in it and God would carry them away to their spheres of destiny!
“Reformers are Coming”
February 22, 2013The Lord spoke this to me last week before my friend from India came to visit. But I didn’t get anything more at the time. Last night as I was going to rest, felt the Lord wanted to speak to me and He said:
“Just as Moses reformed Israel, and David revitalized the temple worship, and as the Son of God called forth reformation by cleansing the temple from money changers, I will bring forth Reformers who will convict the church of her idolatry as Gideon convicted Israel and tore down the idol.
Just as Gideon was not loved by those he brought reformation to by tearing down their idol, there are many who will not like these reformers. So brace yourselves beloveds for these assignments will not be easy and you will need My wisdom as I send you, to know how and what to say.
But know that when I send you, you will not go alone, and I will back up the words I give you to speak. I will perform My words and I will shake the very foundations of many churches, and cities. For Many are blind to their condition. But as you speak I will bring great conviction and repentance will flow in hearts that are truly Mine !
Do NOT be dismayed! Do NOT fear their faces! Do NOT fear repurcussions!
Know that I AM with you and will uphold you with My righteous right hand. For this will be a “last call” for many who have evaded correction and who are drunk with their own power. Each assignment will be unique, so LEAN ON ME. Angels will go with you and execute My judgments. There will be no more merchandizing in My house ! It will be made a house of PRAYER for ALL NATIONS ! Ready your hearts My prophets for confrontation with jezebel spirits.
I have put many of you through serious battle with her but now that I have purged YOU of her ways, will I lose you to destroy her ramparts ! Self will be dethroned in all who are Mine. I know how to humble and abase those who are proud and arrogant in their hearts. Me, Myself and I will be thrown down.
Those of you who are like minded must support one another in prayer. EARNESTLY pray for one another. I AM with you as well and will fight with you ! In some, if not many cases, you will with great COMPASSION be given very specific revelation of specific pastors and leaders. Because they need to know I mean business and am no longer allowing pretense to reign in My church. If they repent, I will heal and deliver, but if they do NOT listen to your compassionate pleas for change, I will bring swift judgments. The Spirit of BURNING will bring all to their knees before Me and I will have the victory !
Isaiah 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
Isaiah 4:4 NKJV When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
“Incredible Energy”
Jan 3, 2013“I know that many of my own are worn down by all that has been going on in their lives. There has been so much assault on your destiny. Like My servant Paul spoke of, terrors within, terrors without, loss and severe afflictions. But this has not been for nothing beloveds. I’m reminding you again that you asked to be like Me.
I took you at your word, and I am bringing you forth as gold. You are worn, but you haven’t given up on Me. That I am very proud of you for. And your rewards are forthcoming. For I will give you your heart’s desire, and I will establish MY KINGDOM within you, and you will be conduits of My glory so you will have all the energy you need. You will have EVERYTHING you need to accomplish what I put you here for.
Keep your eyes on Me, and behold Me in My Word, and in the worship, wait on ME, and keep your eyes fixed on all I’ve done for you. Let me fill you up with My GLORY, for I am manifesting My glory in this hour to those who are filling the airwaves with praises, and the WORD. Declare the promises I’ve given for I have not forgotten you. I have been waiting for all the orchestra to be fully clothed in white raiment, that reflects an attitude that KNOWS that I AM YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. I AM YOUR HOPE OF GLORY ! I am your PEACE, Who has broken down every door. I break down every door of your heart to destroy every vestage of unbelief in My goodness in your heart.
You say that you love me, and I know that in your hearts you do. But the soul is not free of demons. There are things that inhibit you from giving me that praise and worship. There are fears, and there are spirits of self pity, and discontentment with all you’ve gone through. There are spirits of rejection and rebellion still in your soul that keep you from obedience in all areas. And oh yes, there is much pride in many hearts because they don’t want to admit that maybe they aren’t perfect yet. Well, THERE ARE NONE WHO ARE PERFECT BUT ME. I AM THE PERFECT ONE. I AM THE ONE WHO DIED FOR YOU AND PAID THE PRICE. IF YOU COULD BE PERFECT YOU WOULDN’T HAVE NEEDED ME. Selah!
But in the midst of the darkness I AM ARISING, and I will demonstrate My love for you, and those who have doubted you and mistrusted and misunderstood, and who have judged you without mercy will be judged without mercy themselves. They will endure great change that will bring the desired outcome. So put away all bitterness and self pity. Put away all your anger at rejection for there is much of this because of all the wounds. Come to ME, AND LET ME TOUCH YOU NOW, FOR I AM LONGING TO SOOTHE YOUR WOUNDED HEART. IN QUIETNESS AND REST YOU WILL BE RESTORED.
Don’t wait, for I have extended the window for a bit longer, but it is not open much longer, and as the enemy arises with great confidence in his plan, I also will arise with My plan, and you will see what you have longed to see. You will see Me and feel Me as never before, and your heart will swell with JOY unspeakable and overflowing. And My glory will be seen upon you. Do not be anxious. TRUST ME to lead you in time. TRUST ME to lead you through. TRUST ME to show you what to do. Sit and wait on ME. Be still and know that I am GOD, and I love you and am beside you through all that comes.”
Impact
Dec 17th, 2012 3:52 amWhen the bells are ringing out celebrating the birth of My Son, do I ignore them because it’s the wrong day ? I’m not as religious as many are in My church. I love that you are celebrating Him and remembering what Christmas is supposed to be about. It may have been a pagan holiday, but redemption was the plan. Too many do not celebrate My son, but are caught up in the busyness, and Santa clause traditions, of man, so those who remember, those who celebrate, those who give out to others and charities, so that others are taken care of, I highly appreciate.
The worst thing is to be only self centered, to only think of yourself, and your own world. Those who are called by My name should be the ones who role model My Son and His heart towards others. So be aware when you are out and around for opportunities to demonstrate the gospel, that others may truly be impacted by My Spirit in you and through you.
In all the celebrations, remember that I am with you and in you and around you in everything you do. I love you and I am FOR you and in the days ahead you are going to feel the impact of that in new and wondrous ways! You will find such joy for as you share your heart with others, will I impart and cause a spark. Keep on rejoicing in all you do, for I am inhabiting your praises and will spark fires and more fires the more you worship Me in all the fray.
The heaviness of the violence going on around you is to be thwarted by your praises. Also take authority over areas where you know where it has or is going on, and intercede for your communities, and over your families and children, and grandchildren. The enemy is looking to draw attention to the fear that is being perpetrated by his evil schemes. You must use worship as a weapon of your warfare !!!
Dance and sing with your children, with your grandchildren. Teach them to war with worship ! Teach them to war with the dance. Teach them to rebuke demons. Do not hide from them the tools they need. I am riding on the wings of the wind this winter, and I will enhance your discernment as you worship Me, and I will release more revelation. REJOICE and again I say rejoice ! The King is in your midst.”
Then the Lord reminded me of something I had forgotten the other night on the news about a tide coming in to Newport Beach called the KING tide. It caused flooding in some areas. But He had had me note what it was called.

Prophets for Profit
Dec 13th, 2012
goinupstream@hotmail.com“I’m now going to deal with the prophets for profit that have presumed upon my anointing. Many have assumed and went the way of mammon because they saw the popularity of those who have been in the limelight.
They have forgotten the way of the prophet, and the character required when in that position. I have blessed many that they could have a forum for presenting what I’ve shown them. But some have gone beyond trust to orchestrating their own ways rather than the way I wanted to bring them.
Blessing will come to everyone who follows the narrow path, where I lead, but those who have chosen the wide path will find themselves in difficulty until they repent now. Do not participate in being the judge, only pray that those who have been deluded will repent.
There are those who are also bitter and have gone the way of mammon because of the lack of support for their message in the church, when in actuality, their message was tainted with bitterness and defensive pride, so I have limited their finances to test them. Will they continue to trust in Me when they are not experiencing the blessings they want and desire? This has been the test.
So pray for conviction for I am raising up those who were obedient to be patient and wait on Me for what I would do in them. I will bless those who have endured much physical and emotional affliction, and rejection. I will raise up those who did not get bitter, and who have learned their lessons.
Again, do not be quick to judge. Pray for those who fall, and have mercy on the weak, for you know that in your hearts you have been tempted to the same. Without My GRACE, none of you would be able to resist anything sent your way.
