Excerpt from a previous post: “He will continue to put us through the olive press until we realize...we have One Head, under whom every knee must bow; One Lord, to whom we are all indebted. How can we possibly follow or worship any other?” 💔🙏💔Ex20:1-6

I was so torn up over this- especially in the run-up to the 2020 election. Why?

Because of our insatiable desire to follow “a person” (1Cor.3:1-9), rather then the Lord, so much of our five-fold ministry has become a platform of elitist status; a complete polar opposite to the example set out by the early church leaders and by Jesus Christ Himself. I love these brothers and sisters: I blame no one: What I do blame, and hold entirely responsible is the elitist celebrity culture that is sweeping through the Charismatic Movement in America: this is what I wage war against (Eph6:12).  It is because of this, I believe most of our prophets failed to prepare the Church for the oncoming battle. Do I believe they heard from the Lord? At least some of them, Yes. But because of their desire to please an ever-expanding ‘fan-base’, they did not choose to say what they heard: (2Tim4:3-4) Instead  of repentance, many resorted to peace & prosperity messages, or words that were vague, generalized and so full of riddles that they were almost impossible to understand, much less for us to test (1Thess5:19-22). As a result much of the Body of Christ is now in tatters. Many people, including President Trump have been affected by this. We have so much freedom to speak in America: But when we assume authority to broadcast across the globe in the Name of The Lord, it becomes a serious thing- and MUST be done not from the imaginations of our own hearts, but in a Holy and reverential fear of the Lord.

This is something I feel I must write ... the love of the Lord for His Church in this Land...and His deep concern for the state of it, is compelling me. 

The five-fold ministry is a ministry of humility and servant-hood. It is not a platform to achieve celebrity status. God help us🇺🇸💔

...And what do the world see (and they do see) when the look at this - at us? Do they see a Church that can, or cannot be bought? Do they see a Church that will, or will not compromise? Do they see a Church that truly loves and worships the Lord, or a church that loves and covets the world? Because one thing I know: the more we emulate this world, the more susceptible we will become to it....I am praying! 💔

The Keys

 The keys 🗝🔑 Isaiah 42 6  “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, 7  to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness The stairs were dark...except for the Light of the Lord, as He stood at the top. We, the saints of God were with Him.  And I could hear: It was the sound of deep groans, cries, screams of despair and hopelessness, coming from below. And I heard the Lord say one Word: “Keys” As I watched, the saints of God who were with Him, each took the keys of the Kingdom given to them by Jesus Christ and began to descend the stairs into the darkness.  Each saint as they went, was shrouded almost to invisibility, by the Blood of Jesus and the Light of His countenance, which emanated from them. Some of them went three or four levels down...to the deepest, darkest plac...

The Crucifixion

  Part III   The Fire…The Church Crucified   {At 10min 24sec} The tone…the chords of Kim’s keyboard seemed to change: I saw Fire…I felt heat…And I saw the Church…with her back against the wall… and her heart against the Cross… she began to cry out to God:  Not cries as we have done before, but these were cries of absolute desperation: An awakening…to realize that it is either Jesus Christ or nothing at all.  I heard grandparents praying for children…tears flowed like a river, from years and years of prayer…Upon the altar, years and years of prayers came up as incense before the Lord, spanning decades.  Men..fathers...grandfathers...husbands crying out to God...and the smoke of the incense was filling the throne room: Around the Cross were scores of people: Men especially, seemed to come from everywhere…some running, some bent almost double with weeping…some were crouched over as if covering their families: Whole families were embracing the Cross…in the mids...

Part IV The Church Resurrected

  Part IV The Rain…The Church Resurrected   {At 12min 15sec}  I saw the heavens begin opening…the rains began to fall: And it was as if I also saw tombs opening up: We arose up from the ground…We came up, as if, from out of a tomb. {At 12min 26sec} I watched as whole families were taken up and like lightning, disappeared into the Body of Christ...nameless and faceless...each part began to immediately function as one... taking a unique place...I saw as if a natural body, organs, muscles, bone...we all had a place, and like lightning, with extreme order and precision (like an Army) we all took it…through the Fire, we had learned how to kneel. I did not see the Lord - only his feet: But at his appearance the entire Remnant Army, as one man, fell on their faces and began to worship the Lord - with a sound of unity that made the ground beneath them shake. Kim Clement: “PRAY!” We stood up in Christ… {At 13min 18sec} The church stood on her feet - a mighty army. She was a warrio...
