Spiritual Abortion 2/04/91

The Lord spoke to me concerning spiritual abortion. He said: “The great tragedy, the great murder, the abortion of millions in the womb, is a sin that mankind will pay for, for their innocent blood has filled My cup of wrath. They have provoked the great destruction that shall come upon their heads in the end. These little ones who perish from the face of the earth, but not from My presence, receive their reward and their consolation, but woe to the evil, wicked, murderous hands that strangle their life from them. But what of you, oh church? I am grieved over this great sin and you have grieved with Me, yet there is another great sin which grieves My heart, and you do not consider it as serious, but it is more serious, says your Lord. It is the spiritual abortion of so many of My children. For when they believed, salvation was conceived in them. They grew, nurtured from the Word, protected by water, the Holy Ghost, who brings about their growth, the fulfillment of perfection, which is the new creation in Christ. They will be delivered in glory to the presence of God at the coming of the Lord. Yet in these times of apostasy, there are many who are being aborted by the evil one before their perfection is complete, before their salvation is fully wrought. I grieve over so many stolen from the womb, even the womb of sanctification. They are aborted to hell, separated eternally; My children robed from My arms, never to behold the glorious place prepared for them, nor to enter the loving arms that await them. Why do you not grieve over this? Why do you not fight for these lives? You say: “Oh, they fell away; they are in sin; too bad; what a shame.” What is this indifference and lack of compassion on your part? The physically aborted, their flesh rots in garbage dumps, but their spirit is with Me; it is a terrible thing, an indifference to life and the Lord of life. But the spiritually aborted continue to walk and breathe, and seem alive, and so few lay to heart what the final end of their souls will be, which is hell. Weep for this My people, and pray. Look for those who have turned away and restore them while they yet walk and breathe. Guard one another in love, and in prayer, watching that the thief does not rob not even one of you. Remain together in love, praying for one another and watching each one for the other as for himself, that you be not taken. The abortion of souls from the church of God is the greatest tragedy of all times. It must be halted. Rise up, oh church, and put on your amour. To the battle! To the battle! Save those that are in danger, for their fate is worse than those who never knew.” Scrip. Ref: Mat. 13:20-22; Luke 9:62

Spiritual Warfare 2/05/91

“Oh My children, can you not see that the devil and his forces are on the march? They advance; they claim new territory, new victories, every day. Hell fills with the souls they rob each day. Where are My mighty warriors? The world has entered a war, a terrible war, that will not fully end until the end of times. Can you not see the hand of Satan? What have I told you of the warfare? Have I not told your that your weapons are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds through the Holy Spirit? The world is at war! My church is at war, but not with the real enemy, rather, with each other. They are entangled with one sin after another. They strike back, but miss, because they are moving in the flesh and not guided by the Spirit. They find the battle hard, and so they quit, but tomorrow the enemy will have taken up new positions, and the battle will be even harder. They are defeated by their own laziness and disobedience, by their fear and unbelief. Why do they not walk forward in faith, instead of backwards in unbelief? They want blessing, but not work. They want divine intervention but no intercession. Overcome by the world, yet not overcoming the world. The valiant are few. Those who are obedient grow scarcer every day. Surely, I must stop you. Surely, I will stop you, whether it be pleasant to you or not! This is My mercy. I have said before, that My mercy is not what you think it to be, for My ways are not your ways, neither My thoughts your thoughts. To you, mercy is to be left alone to do as you wish and not to be punished for your ways. But My mercy is to the saving of your souls, whatever it might take in order to achieve that goal. Do not resist My mercy, which is My hand of correction and guidance on your lives. If you will not submit and be corrected, you cannot be sons and daughters of Mine. Why have you continued on in your ways, in your deep slumber? Awake to obedience and to prayer. Rebuke the deceiver who has hidden the truth from your eyes and ears. Fight the good fight, for the race is near to the end. Can you not see the signs of the times? Open your eyes; wash your garments, for you think you are prepared, but you are not! I have warned you that My judgment has come to My house, to put it in order. Do not complain of My harshness; your disobedience has forced it to be so. It is because of My goodness that I deal harshly with you and have not given up on you. I take no pleasure in your fiery trials, in your cries of anguish. I would that you would have consecrated yourselves willingly and obeyed, but many have not yet done so. Few have understood. The times will change; do not look back. Press forward and grieve not over that which was a loss to you. The kingdom is before you, and the true treasures; why should you grieve over that which is temporal, which you cannot take with you? The love of this world has overcome you. You have fallen to the devices of Satan; you have been taken by his plan because of the weakness of your flesh, the lust of your eyes, and the greed in your heart. Take the sword and cut down the weeds and thorns that have gown up around your heart and choked out the truth. How can one who has been deceived by the enemy win the war against him? Only by awaking to the truth can he see clearly to defeat the enemy. True repentance from the heart is the ointment that heals the spiritually blinded soul. I will open his eyes to see truth and his heart to understand wisdom.” Scrip. Ref: 2 Cor. 7:9-10;10:4; Rom. 2:4; Heb. 4:17-18

A Promise of Salvation for Our Families 2/07/91

“I speak to My daughters to warn them, to prepare them for that which comes. They must grow in faith and stand strong, for a tempest blows. The devil will try to destroy their homes, breaking their hearts, causing their faith to fall, for they have been the cement, their faith holding their homes and the churches together. This the devil well knows. They have been faithful in intercession and good works, therefore the devil desires to cause their falling by attacking them where their heart is. Tell them to stand while the wind and the storm blows, and be of faith, and not moved by sight, neither by their emotions; understand this is but an attack of the enemy that shall not prosper, but rather, it shall pass, if they are not moved in their confidence in Me. I will bring them through the storm, surely, if they will believe and not doubt. I am faithful to My precious daughters and will not suffer them to be crushed under the weight of the attack. Tell them they must hide their hearts in Me, for surely the attack will be harsh. I will keep their hearts tenderly in My hands, that they be not broken. In their patience and faith they shall be refined, and come through the storm, for I am able to deliver them and all their loved ones that they commit into My hands. Surely, when the storm is over, great deliverance shall be wrought and the salvation of their family, which they have waited to see, shall be manifest. Do not give up; do not give in and believe the lies of the enemy, neither what you see with your eyes, for this is temporal and shall pass. Be of courage, and be not discouraged, knowing He that has promised is faithful and will not fail you. Believe what I have spoken today with your whole heart and be not moved from your faith, and surely the victory I have promised, oh daughters of Mine, shall be yours. For I have loved you; I have heard your cries and have not turned My ear away; I will bring to pass what I have promised, and you shall be made as gold by the fire. The day of joy comes after the night of storm; surely you will find it, says the Lord.” Scrip. Ref: Psalm 30:5; Acts 16:31; Mark 11:23; Heb. 10:23 Personal note: It is so important that we, as parents, keep our eyes on Him who promised, not on what we see with our eyes. Our faith is not in the ability of our children to change, but in God who has promised and is faithful. Nothing is impossible for God.

The Chastisement of the Lord 2/10/91

“Oh My people: have you not ears to hear? Have you not eyes to see? I have called to deaf ears and revealed to blind eyes. You are deaf and blind because of the hardness of your hearts, and so you repent not. When you are beaten will you hear? Why do you force My hand? Surely, by stripes will you then cry and turn to Me to be healed. Must I then smite My people and wound the ones I love in order to heal them? You have left Me no other way available, for My words you have not heard, and you have said: “Yes, yes”, but then you nod your heads and close your eyes and sleep on, believing the words to have been spoken in a dream. You are completely unaware of the reality around you, and the seriousness of the hour. You have been consumed by your own selves, and have not denied yourselves, in order to draw nearer to Me. Each day the faithful believers become fewer among you, and because their dedication makes you feel uncomfortable, you are beginning to turn upon them and to attack them. Why do you not learn from them? Why do you continue to try to justify your sin and indifference? You look for ways to crucify them, finding some error, even if you must invent it, that you might convince yourself that you need not be like them, you are “holy” enough. Lazy servants! Who has so completely deceived you? You are trusting that some how you will get away with all that you do, (which you should not), and all that you do not do, (that you should do). You have not fully realized My presence, neither have your realized the holiness and power of your God. You make excuses for your weakness rather than repent. Lo, I have given you My power to overcome, but you find it easier to submit to your flesh, to give in, rather than resist. You do not use the power which I gave you. You have not learned; you have not tried; you have not believed. Did I not tell you if you would but believe, nothing would be impossible unto you? Continue on, you whining, spoiled, little children. Stomp your foot and demand your way, and you will see the end that awaits you. When you are chastised, will you come to see? Or will you rebel and believe I am cruel and unfair? You must know, I love you, in spite of the way you are; what I do, I must do for your sakes, that you perish not. Yet many of you will cling to your ways and turn from My ways even more; even though I chastise you, you will want to continue on, blind to the truth, for you love your ways more than Me. For this reason, I said you are not worthy of Me, for you will not deny yourself and walk in the way of the cross. You have loved money and what it can give you. You have devised doctrines to justify the lust you have for riches so that you might not feel guilty of your sins. But the love of money has been the root of evil that has corrupted you and now you are like pretty vessels whose contents have rotted inside, and you know it not. Empty yourselves out! Pour out the filth and corruption; cleanse yourselves in the blood, through tears of repentance. Humble yourselves before Me, and cry out, that I might come and heal you and make of you a clean, holy vessel, fit for the Kingdom of God. Your time runs out; awake to prayer; awake to the truth and repent. Surely I will be faithful to pour upon you My Spirit in abundance and you shall be filled like you have never been filled before. Hear Me and be not deaf, nor blind. The end is near and so is your destruction if you will not hear.” Scrip. Ref: Heb. 12:5-11; Jam. 1:22-25 Personal note: The scripture tells us before the Lord returns there will be a great falling away. Paul said to those who preach, to be diligent, lest having preached to others, you stay and you lose your way. The truth is that we need to daily trust in the Lord and follow Him. There isn't a place where you can just coast. We must always be on the alert, always seeking Him.

I Want to Heal Through You 5/06/91

The Lord spoke to me saying: “Tell My people I want to touch through them. I want to do it! I want to embrace My people, to console their hearts and heal their wounds. I want to free them from oppression and deliver them from sickness. These things I want to do, I, Myself, through a willing vessel. But most of them do not allow Me; they do it themselves, in their own ways, in My Name, but it is them doing it, not Me. They rob Me of the joy of touching My people. They have no faith to believe I can move through them, therefore they do it in their own strength. They do not hear My voice, therefore they do not obey. I want to speak to My people through their voices, and touch with their hands; I am able, but they do not believe and allow Me. So many heartaches, so much sickness and so little compassion. You minister amiss when you minister, for you are doing it guided by your own understanding, comforting words but they are empty, having no power. Your hearts harden in unbelief because you see no results. I am the one who heals, and I desire to do so through you. Yield yourselves; submit to Me, and I will flow out though you. I will touch through you. I will heal through you. You shall see the results and be astonished, and I will rejoice over the healing of My people. Your unbelief and unwillingness have gotten in the way and the need continues to grow. Do you not know by now that you can do nothing of yourself? I am your source; why do you shut Me off? You believe that you have the power in My Name, and this is so, but you have failed to understand what that power is and how it flows. I am that power in you and you must release yourself from the need to control, in faith, and allow Me to flow out through you. It is not what you have, but rather, My presence in you. Your efforts are futile if they are not directed by Me. There are so few that understand this and allow Me to flow through them. Much goes undone because of you. SO much I desire to do, yet I am hindered by the unbelief and unwillingness of My own people. If I wish to speak a word to the down-trodden and brokenhearted through your voice, why do you not believe and let Me? If I desire to reach out and touch the sick to heal them, why do you not let Me use your hand? What excuse have you for this denial, for this disobedience? You grieve Me, My people, for your lack of faith and obedience. Why have you denied your God? Why have you not allowed Me to use you as I desire? Give in and let Me touch through you! If you will hear and obey, surely I will cause My light to shine in you and no one will be able to put it out.” Scrip. Ref: John 14:12; 15:5; Mark 16:15-18

Beware of Those Who Serve Leavened Bread 5/10/91

“They have put leaven into the bread which I said was to be unleavened. They have put it in little by little so that it would not be noticed. They have added leaven so that the bread would increase and they would have more. But leavened bread spoils more rapidly. The leaders of My people have added in that which I said not to add in, that they might extract more from the flock. They no longer preach the truth, but have mixed in greed to their message, with the motive of receiving more for themselves. They look at the sheep and see coins over their heads, rather than the needs of their hearts. They seek gain and power. Yet they preach not those things which lead to eternal life; they preach not of the crucified life, the dedication of the soul, or that they should deny themselves and walk by the spirit. They have not taught My people to give to the poor, but to give to them instead. Few have used what is given wisely or by direction of My Spirit, but rather for their own lusts, that they might build themselves a church to their own liking. It is an evil thing that has crept into the body. It goes unseen, accepted as doctrine, but it is not sound doctrine. It is leaven. As the bread that rises and looks good for a short time only to spoil shortly thereafter, so it has become in My church. Those that eat of the leavened bread begin to spoil as well. The corruption is passed along and none can see it, for they suffer from the same condition. My prophets, who speak out, are silenced; My preachers who preach the unleavened truth are rejected, for their messages does not appeal to the eye. Where are My holy people? Was not My presence, My holiness enough for you? Must you say that you desire the food of Egypt as did your forefathers, even the children of Israel? I separated you for salvation, taking you from the midst of uncleanliness and washed you in My blood and put upon you white garments, even the garments of righteousness. You have returned to lust, greed, lies, and deception, which you do under the Name above all names, thinking it is a covering that covers and hides what is inside. I did not come to cover up sin, but to reveal it, says the Lord. How can you hide evil under My Name? What abomination is this? Given royal robes, you steal rags; where is the wisdom in this? Having true riches, you seek for the riches that are corruptible. Once corruption begins, it spreads. The only way to spare that which is still clean, is to cut out all that is corrupt and throw it away. Beware, I have warned you; but you have not heard. You receive it not for yourselves, but rather, apply it to others. You seek out their small sins and ignore the large one you have committed. I will care for My sheep and discard you who fatten the flock for your own purposes that you might extract for your own selfish needs. I will lead those sheep who are not contaminated, though they be only a few; I will lead them out from your presence and give them unleavened bread, not the corrupted bread which you now feed them. He who hears this and examines his own heart and finds leaven within, and repents, I will cut out the leaven in his heart and heal the wound. Great shall be his peace and this shall be a sign to My people, the peace of the Lord, for there is no peace for the wicked says the Lord. Therefore, you shall know them by their fruits.” Scrip. Ref: Mat. 16:6; I Cor. 5:6-8; I Tim. 6:3-5

Message to California 6/02/91

The Lord spoke to me and said: “Set your face towards the West and prophecy.” Then He showed me the state of California and I could see in the southern part, in the San Diego area, there was the word written: “Violence”. In the area where Los Angeles is located was the word “Perversion”. Then the Lord spoke to me concerning the condition of His people living there. “They are contaminated by this world. They have come to love it and the conveniences, but tell them if they wish to return to Egypt, they will surely suffer the plagues of Egypt.” Then the Lord showed me Christians dressed in white but they had large black capes which they covered themselves with, and under the cape were their hands, which they used to sin, but it was all being covered under the cape so as not to be seen. “This is what My people do: they hide in the midst of darkness and do things which they should not. They cover over their sins rather than repent and be cleansed, for they love that which they do. Remind them that if they love the world and its ways, the love of the Father is not in them.” Once again I saw the map of California and the Lord was walking up and down upon it, stomping his foot in anger. He said: “Surely, judgment will come if there is no true repentance and a return to holiness.” It was such a desperate feeling I had hearing these words, for the Lord was speaking how things truly are, not how He would have them to be. I asked Him what was the solution to all this, to take the evil from the world, (knowing that Christ is the solution to sin, but also knowing that not all will accept Him as the solution). Suddenly, the Lord showed me the planet earth from a distance, and it was engulfed in flames We must preach the gospel and rescue those that can be reached while there is yet time, for soon fire will be poured out to purge the evil from the earth. Be diligent and work. Quickly, oh people of God, for this world is dying and little time remains for us to do what we must. Scrip. Ref: Jude 20-25

Persecution Will Come 6/08/91

I was preaching in Mexico, where we were praising the Lord in song. Suddenly, I felt that we were not in that place, but in a cave. It was a very real feeling. I asked the Lord what the meaning of this was. Again, He spoke to me concerning the hard times coming to the church, showing me a vision. I saw a large dragon, an angry looking dragon, with fire coming out of his mouth. He was chasing after people dressed in white. The people looked very small compared to the dragon. I saw that the sky was dark with clouds. The dragon called out to a host of demons who had nets, and chains in their hands. He told them to trap the people and not to let them escape. They threw their nets and caught some, but suddenly there was an opening in the clouds; a light shined down and the voice of the Lord spoke to some angels and said: "Give them wings to fly away!" Suddenly, some of the people had wings and flew up over the demons and the dragon, and they flew a little ways to a safe place where they landed on the ground. Before long, the dragon came close to them, and once again they flew to a safe place. And again the dragon found them and drew near. This time when the flew, they flew straight up into the clouds and did not return. I saw the ones the dragon managed to entangle on the ground. Some of them the dragon had burned, but I saw one man trapped under his foot. The man was laying on his back looking up at the dragon. He said: “I give up! Please don't hurt me! I give up!” Then the Lord told me the enemy would surly persecute the believers, but the faithful, the dedicated ones, He would lead by His Spirit and tell them where the enemy was, and when he was coming, and by which way, so that when the enemy arrived, he would find them gone already. The Lord would lead them to safety. The Lord told me the false “Church” would rise up against the true believers. He said the devil would give them apparitions and great miracles to bring the people to this false church. When the true believers speak out that this did not come from God, but from Satan, they will turn and persecute the believers and close doors to them to preach. Then the Lord said: “Tell them they must work while it is yet day, for the night comes when no man can work.” Then the Lord told me He would send revival, but when the false church sees many of their members leaving and joining the believers, then this will stir up all of this. Then these apparitions and visions of the virgin will appear to draw people back and confuse those that are not firm in the faith. I believe this message is not just for Mexico, but for all. Scrip. Ref: Rev. 3:8-11; Mat. 24:9-10 Personal note: While the Pharisees, the Religious self-righteous, will always persecute the true believers, these people exist in many different churches, not just one, just as there are humble, true believers in many different churches. The wheat and the tares grow up together.

A Generation Born in Sin 6/09/91

I saw this woman about to give birth, but when she bore down, she did not bring forth a child, but rather filth came out from her. It looked like black tar that came out of her and with each contraction, more spewed out. Finally, a child was born but it was still and black like charcoal. It was stillborn. I asked the Lord what this meant and He replied: “The wickedness of this generation continues to grow; they spew out abomination after abomination. They give birth to their offspring in this filth, and the children are born into the death that sin has caused. They are born into darkness, for in darkness do their fathers live, and in darkness were they conceived. They are raised in the midst of filth and perversion, and taught those ways from birth. Therefore you see them as stillborn, for there is no hope for them; they die violently at an early age, never knowing the truth, dead in sin long before they die.” As I heard these words, I felt a great sense of desperation, for the Lord was speaking how things really are, which are very different from the way He desires them to be. Knowing that Jesus is the solution for sin, but also knowing that not everyone will accept Him as the solution, I asked the Lord what is the end to all of this, and I prayed He would remove this evil from the world. In an instant, the Lord showed me the earth from a distance, and it was surrounded by flames. We must preach the gospel and rescue those that can be reached, while there is still time, because soon fire will be poured out to purge this world of evil. We must be diligent and work now. People of God, awake; this world is dying and there is little time for us to do what we must do. Scrip. Ref: Mark 16:15

Hard Times are Coming 6/09/91

The Lord spoke to me and said, “Surely hard times are coming and My people are not prepared. They have not dug themselves in, in order to weather the storm. Their feet are not firmly planted upon the ground. The enemy will launch his attacks and they will be knocked over. I have shown you glimpses of what lies ahead, but you will be surprised, for the extent and severity is more than you can imagine. My people have been told to love My coming, but they do not. They are busy in what they term as “the good life”, and they say the wish I would return, but not right now, in a little while. They are busy in this world making money for themselves, and ignoring the Kingdom of God, (which is at hand) and the needs of the lost souls, even their own soul. But I tell you in the times to come they shall struggle from without and within. They will be forced to their knees to seek Me, their only hope. They will be pressed upon by all sides until they cry out, pleading for My return, to deliver them.” Then the Lord reminded me of the birth of my fifth child. It was a long, hard birth because he was very late. In those last days, my body was suffering and I was desperate to be delivered. The Lord said, “Do you remember how you cried out to Me to deliver you? There was nothing you could do to help yourself. The pressure on the inside was more than you could stand, and there was pressure from all around you as well. Even so, will it happen to My people, and they are not prepared to stand in faith to the end. Many of them will give up because the way is too hard for them. They did not wish to prepare when it was easy to do so. Did I not say in My Word that these times are the beginning of sorrows? Why have they failed to understand and prepare themselves? Surely it will come. Tell them to prepare.” Scrip. Ref: Mat. 24:4-8; II Tim. 4:7-8 Personal Note So many believe they are prepared, they are standing in faith, until the trial begins. We, like Peter, truly believe we can handle things, but when we are in the fire, we find out who we really are and what we are really capable of. We need to prepare spiritually for these trials, by drawing near to God, and learning His Word, when it is easy to do so. It is not the time, when we are under attack, to learn how to protect ourselves.

Message to San Francisco, California 8/11/91

The Lord spoke to me in relation to San Francisco, telling me that there are people within the body of Christ there, who are seemingly seeking Him, but in private they also consult diviners (psychics). There are also those who practice homosexuality privately, even among the leadership in the Church. I brought this message to San Francisco, and this was a word the Lord gave me while I was there: “I desire to protect My children, but they walk out from under My protection to try things of the world. They are carnal minded, thinking on this life and worried over the provisions, their homes, their jobs, their children and on these things do they think all day. These are the thorns that grow up and choke out the Word of God in their lives, that destroy their faith and absorb their time, leaving no time for Me in their lives. They walk around blinded by these things, not understanding that their enemy destroys them, in this place (San Francisco), which is the seat of Satan.” I asked the Lord why is his seat here? Why not in countries where they worship Buddha or Allah, or in countries where they worship the Virgin Mary or some saint? The Lord told me: “In those places the devil has masked himself to appear as one of these gods. The people serve these idols, believing that they are serving the real God. They are people who in faith believe they are serving their God, but have been deceived and led away. However, in this area, they serve Satan, knowing he is Satan, and not God, and they do it with their whole heart.” The Lord then told me these words were important to all of the body of Christ. He said: “My people are walking around thinking on this life and its cares and fail to understand that the high priesthood of Satan daily have Satanic masses in which prayer is made against the church of Christ and the children of God. Yet My children do not pray, neither do they put on the armor of God and come against their enemy, or destroy the darts that are being sent against them. The forces of Satan are united against them, but they do not unite in prayer nor do battle against the evil one. They must awake and put on the whole armor which I have given them, and above all, use the shield of faith to quench these fiery darts. They must unite in the battle and shut all open doors to the enemy. They must remove all objects of Satan from their homes so as not to leave a door open to the enemy. The Lord revealed to me many Christians still play with things of the occult, believing that it will do them no harm, saying that they don't believe in such things. Do not bring things that belong to the devil into your home. Protect your home, your family, people of God! This is a war and the enemy is penetrating very subtly! Scrip. Ref: Mat. 13:18-23; Eph.6:10-13 Personal note: I was told that in the San Francisco area the First Church of Satan is even announced in the telephone book in the section where they list churches.

The Bride of Christ 8/18/91

The Lord gave me this vision: I saw a beautiful young girl dressed in a fine white dress. Her hair was light brown and her eyes were clear. Her skin was smooth and clean and she had no make-up on. She was plain, not decked with jewels or fancy clothes, but she was lovely, the picture of innocence. She looked to be around twenty years old and she was very feminine and delicate. She was looking in a mirror, combing her long shiny hair, saying: “This is the way my beloved, my groom, likes me to be.” Then I saw Jesus arrive. She rushed to meet Him and kissed his hands. She led Him to a seat and sat on the floor at his side, leaning upon his leg, listening to each word He spoke. Her eyes lit up like stars, so filled with love as she listened to each word of her beloved. She served Him and was attentive to His every need. Soon He rose and left. Some worldly girls came, with shiny dresses in blue, purple, and red, and they had jewels on. They called to the young girl, saying: “Come, why don't you try on these beautiful dresses? All the women of beauty in the world wear them, and with your figure, they would look so nice.” She replied to them: “No, that is not how my beloved wants me; he likes me like this.” The girls insisted: “But you are so plain, why don't you just try this; perhaps your beloved would find you more beautiful.” But the girls words did not convince her. She replied: “No! My beloved likes me this way, and I only have eyes for him!” They grabbed her by the hand and said: “Who do you think you are? Are you better than us, and your beloved better than our lovers? You will try these things on and become like one of us!” They began to pull her away. She kept looking towards the way her beloved went out and cried out: “My beloved, save me, for they are dragging me away. Come to my rescue, my love!' Then Jesus appeared and looked angrily at the girls and said: “Loose her!” At this, they let go of her and ran. She ran to the feet of Jesus and kissed them. The vision is a clear message of how God wants His church to be, the bride of Christ, completely separated and different from the world and worldly things; completely in love with their bridegroom, Jesus Christ; having eyes only for Him. Even though the world may try to tempt us to be like them, we must remain faithful if we are to be His. If the temptation is too strong, He has the power to deliver us if we just call on Him! Scrip. Ref: I Pet. 1:15-16; II Cor. 6:17 Personal note: This is not to establish rules of dress, or to condemn. This is a spiritual picture about the attitude of the heart, the desire to be like the world, or to be set apart for the Lord. Clothing is not what makes us holy, the attitude of our heart is what determines that. However, God's Word does lead us to modesty, and to consider if our appearance tempts others. The intentions of the heart are evident in the words we speak, as well as in our appearance.

Trying of Our Faith 9/15/91

The Lord spoke and said, “Tell My people that their faith is only beginning to be tried; these are not the last rounds of trials, but the first. They must step out of the boat, in faith; if they do, they will see the storm calm before them and they will walk through it. Those that are too afraid and remain in the boat will perish in the storm, for My Kingdom has no room for the fearful and unbelieving. They must learn to trust, and put full confidence in My faithfulness to My Word. They must walk by faith and not by sight, or their own feelings and emotions. They must learn what is of My Spirit, who is leading them, and what is of their flesh. This generation is carnal, and so are many of My body. There are so many who will not pass the test.” When the Lord spoke this, I heard a great sadness in His voice. I then asked, “Lord, if so many will fail, why the test then? Why not better prepare them before the test?” “That is your job”, replied the Lord; “Yours and many others whom I have called to do so, but hurry, for time is running out for many who have still failed to understand.” “How shall I prepare them?” I asked the Lord, “I have no way of knowing what each of them might need or where they are lacking”, I told the Lord. The Lord replied: “Teach them to walk in faith, by My Spirit; tell them there is a better way, a more necessary way than the way they have chosen. Their traditions and institutions are not enough; they serve only as structures, but as the body without the Spirit is dead, so are their traditions and institutions. Teach them of Me, and what I have revealed to you of Myself, that they might deeply love and trust Me in all things. If they will come into a deeper walk with Me, I will guide them by My Spirit through the storm. They will learn how to hear My voice and trust Me enough to obey it. As they are now, they rarely hear Me, and rarer still do they obey Me. When I speak, I will give strength for them to obey what I have spoken. They go about trying to obey what I have spoken for others and become discouraged when they fail, because they had no strength to do as others have done. That is because I have not spoken it to them, neither strengthened them to do it. You must teach them that they need to individually serve Me and follow Me in obedience. They will not all be tested the same, therefore they are not all being taught in the same way. Some will have to overcome more than others, and be tried in different areas than others.” I asked why, and the Lord replied: “Because I am the Lord who forms the vessels as I chose, and I create variety to fit in the body in useful parts. Can all be hands or feet? I know the vessel I work with and its limits. Some are weak and can be used only in smaller degrees, while others can be refined to greater degrees. It is like the difference between the drum and the violin; one is rather plain, a simple instrument, the other is a fine, delicate instrument, but both are used to make beautiful music. Do you understand now?”. the Lord asked me. “Yes Lord”, I replied, “I see, but how will I know the difference, or do I even need to know?” The Lord replied, “You must let My Spirit speak. He fines tunes My instruments, for He and I are one with the Father. He will speak the part which is necessary to the heart of each vessel to fine tune them; He will speak a message through you, like a song, and then apply to each instrument its particular part. This is My design and man has failed to understand it. When man brings a message, the instruments play out of order, out of tune, out of timing. That is why there is such a lack of unity and harmony in the body of Christ. Each plays to his own beat, and all they make is noise, but they do not attract hearers because their sound is uncomely. But when My Spirit directs, ah, it is loveliness which comes forth, a sound to enter into and participate in. For those who will read these words, I will say it plainly for them to understand; you must be led by My Spirit in order to be in My body, for if you are not, you are not in harmony with Me. The enemies which you battle against are not flesh and blood, neither is the Spirit of God, nor the heaven of the most High; you must not be carnal then, or you cannot be a part, for all that is carnal will perish, but the things of the Spirit of God remain forever.” Scrip. Ref: 2 Cor. 10:4; Rom. 8:5-8; 8:14

I Will Pour Out My Spirit 11/08/91

The Lord spoke and told me: “I am about to pour out power upon My people, but tell them it is not for free. Their salvation was for free; the gift of the Holy Spirit was freely given to them, even their healing was paid for, but this special outpouring of My power is for those who reach out in faith for it; it is for those who extend themselves in faith to obtain it. I will not pour out more upon those who have already received, but have failed to use that which was already given to them. There are many who received the gift of the Holy Spirit, freely, yet they have used what was given to them selfishly, to benefit themselves, and this gift was not meant for them alone. The Holy Spirit must flow freely in their lives and be able to use them and flow through them to accomplish My will to touch others. If they do not reach out in faith to use what they have already been given, neither will they use more if it be given to them. I will not waste this power upon them. I will give it to those who are willing, those who are hungry and thirsty for more. They are those that will be filled with this great power.” Scrip. Ref: Joel 2:28-32; Mat.13:24-30

The Storm is Approaching 12/04/91

The Lord gave this vision to my husband, Sergio Ramirez: He saw a bunch of sheep in a back yard, standing on the patio and in the yard. The yard was fenced in. Suddenly, the back door to the house opened and Jesus was standing in the doorway, calling to the sheep: “Hurry, come inside!” But only two of the sheep listened and went inside. The others continued eating and behaving as sheep, concerned apparently with only what was going on around them. The sheep were not looking around; some were leaning with their two front hoofs up on the fence, looking at the yard of their neighbor, where the grass looked greener. The Lord was calling His sheep to safety, but only a few lifted their ears as if they were listening to His voice. Then they returned to what they were doing along with the other sheep. The Lord called out again with more urgency that the first time: “Come inside quickly! Look at what approaches!” In the distance there was a black tornado coming directly toward the sheep. This time only one more responded to the call of the Lord. The storm was quickly approaching, so when the sheep entered, the Lord had to quickly shut the door behind Him. The Lord is warning the body of Christ, but they are not listening.

Heaven Prepares for the Bride of Christ 12/27/91

I had a vision in which I saw a chariot of fire coming down from heaven drawn by white horses. It was driven by what I thought was an angel, from afar. The chariot came and stopped in front of me. In the vision, I saw that the driver was the Lord Jesus. He told me to get in. I saw myself climbing into the chariot and then we took off in a hurry, climbing and climbing in the sky, until we were very high. The chariot began to go around the earth. The Lord told me there were things that He wished to show me. I saw this great field of wheat; as far as the eye could see there was wheat everywhere, but most of it was fallen on the ground. Only a few here and there stood upright. “This is My church”, the Lord said. “There is a great thing coming against My church, and few will remain standing; most will be blown over by it because they were not firmly rooted. Those that are firmly rooted are those that live by faith in obedience to My Word, and are not easily swayed by any wind that comes along.” Then I saw a multitude of fish of good size, but they were out of water, laying on the ground. There were many, and some would jump around desperately, opening their mouths, trying to gulp in air, but they were dying, drying out in the sun. A strange thing, they were in need of oxygen, which was all around them, but they were unable to use the air; the oxygen had to be in liquid form. There was water flowing nearby them, yet they were unable to perceive it was there, unable to reach it. “This is how My church is”, the Lord said. “They are not flowing in My Spirit. They are out on their own, following their own ways, which are mans ways, and jumping from time to time in emotionalism, yet without real power. They are not flowing in the source from which that power flows. They are dying, drying up, spiritually unaware as to why, and how close the solution is to them; they are desperately seeking the answer in a world in which they do not belong, for they are new creatures who need the Holy Spirit to guide them in their new life, in order to survive.” Then the Lord showed me some white churches, shining with what seemed to be diamonds and pearls. “How pretty!”, I told the Lord, but He took me closer and said: “Look closely!” I saw that the shiny diamonds and pearls formed chains that covered the church. Lovely though they were, they will still chains. “My church is bound by chains, but because they are comely chains, things to be desired, they do not realize it. The chains are the love they have for this world and her riches, their dependence on this world, and the sins of pleasure that delight them, that entertain them; things they are unwilling to let go of, hence, they are not free as they should be.” Then the Lord showed me a great, dark hole that looked to be alive, like a throat gulping and gulping in lives into it. I saw many people heading for the hole as if they didn't see it, and fell in. There were many dressed in suits with Bibles under their arms, proud, arrogant looks on their faces, caught up in their own self-righteousness. The Lord said: “They did not live what they preached; others were carried away with any new doctrine that sounded wise and made them appear so in the eyes of others, but they were fooled into believing doctrines of demons, and were used to preach demonic lies to the deceiving of many.” Then the chariot began to rise, leaving the atmosphere, passing quickly through space, and entered an area of white, shiny clouds. Ahead I could see the golden gates of heaven swing open wide as we entered. We stopped out front of the great heavenly city. “Go in!”, said the Lord. Suddenly, I was inside a place that was so large that it appeared it had no walls or roof. In front of me was a great group of people, the servants of God, and hosts of angels. I heard them making supplication unto God, saying: “How long, glorious Father, how long? Send forth your Son; send Him that the marriage supper of the Lamb might begin!” I saw Jesus standing next to the Father's throne, that great glorious throne, that is covered in white clouds of glory, so that the form of Him who sits upon the throne cannot be seen. Jesus held up His hand towards the throne as if to say: “Wait!” He spoke and said: “A little while yet, Father; just a little while more, so that those who are not ready will have time to prepare.” He who is faithful and true, making intercession for those of us on the earth. I heard a great moan like a thunder come from the throne of God. I wondered why He moaned, but the Spirit of God revealed to me why. If He sends the Son now, many will be left behind. If he waits so more might be saved, that more might ready themselves, many that are ready now will fall away. Then I saw this great pair of scales, and I realized that the Father was weighing all these things, looking for the best moment where the most souls would be ready. I understood by the Spirit why His anguished moan. A loving Father deciding at which time some of His children will go and which will be left behind. A choice not easy to make. Like a father who must enter a burning building to save his children, having many, and knowing not all can be saved, having to make the choice. So many have fallen away, and many more will; only some of the fallen will come to repentance; where is the balance? Only God knows. Then the Lord showed me the scales and He said: “You see, the hearts of men are being weighed in the balance.” I saw on these giant gold scales what seemed to be a clear bar with what seemed to be liquid gold inside, on one side of the scale. It is the measure of God, the pure, Holy love of God. Then I saw the Lord's hand reach down into a child of God and his gold heart was suddenly in His hand. He put it on the scale and it immediately went out of balance; the heart weighed down heavily on one side. “Their hearts are full of many things that weigh them down; like ore mixed with gold causes it to be heavy, so the love of this world, the indifference to the needs of others, the sin in their lives, causes their hearts not to be pure, but rather, to be weighed down, unclean. They cannot go with Me this way.” I heard once again the voices in heaven calling out: “Send Him!”, and He, once again, said: “In just a little while more.” When I heard another great moan from God's throne and I heard the Father say to the Son: “Go now and prepare, for it is enough; no more!” I saw suddenly as if Jesus was transformed; suddenly He stood with fire around Him, his loins girded, and flames of fire came forth from His eyes. He had a ephod of gold with fire, and He began to walk down the steps of the great throne of God towards a great white horse that was in the distance. This was the vision I saw, but a great anointing fell upon me and I began to dance in the Spirit. Scrip. Ref: I Sam. 2:2-3; Dan. 5:27: 2 Pet. 3:9-14 Personal note: This was a vision God gave me to convey a message of great importance. I do not believe these visions mean I literally was taken to Heaven, but by the grace of God, I was given a glimpse not for my own benefit, but to convey the message that the Lord is coming soon, and we must prepare now. We should not trust on tradition or religion, thinking it to be enough. Each person is responsible for their personal relationship with God. We cannot put Him off, ignore Him, and expect that at His coming, we will suddenly be right with Him and ready to go.
