AS WE GROW CLOSER TO THE TIME OF GROSS DARKNESS
It’s The Time Of The End
The day is drawing nearer when confusion will come and the Earth will be in upheaval. You’re experiencing frustration. Each day is a battle, and the battle doesn’t cease but is constant. You battle affliction. You battle small discomforts, and they’re constant. Even making it through the day and accomplishing the basics of your job and ministry for Me at times seem to be insurmountable mountains that have to be climbed. You try to be cheerful and you ask for prayer. You have breakthroughs, at least to the point where you can work and function, but after coming up for air you often sink into the deep waters again and are submerged.
You must obey My Words to be filled with My seeds. Even though you feel frustrated, even though you have difficulty hearing from Me, you must persevere. You mustn’t yield to the feeling that it’s no use, that you’ll never learn. These are influences of the Enemy, thoughts from one who seeks to defeat you. He’s telling you it’s My fault, but I tell you he’s fighting you with all that he has.
Don’t give up! Keep fighting to hear from Me, especially in the little things. For if he wins the battle in your mind and heart, you’re defeated. If you really want to hear from Me about everything, you will. You mustn’t stop trying! Ask for prayer. Expose the Enemy. The darkness can’t stand the light. Expose his works of darkness and let the light of My power drive it away. If you let the light in, the darkness will have to flee.
My love, I would not deny you what you need. I would not withhold My Words from you. You must realize that he who would defeat you fights our communications, especially at this time when he knows you’re striving to draw closer to Me, to bond with My heart, so that My thoughts are your thoughts and My ways become your ways. So think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is trying you, but fight like the warrior that I’ve called you to be!
You don’t see or understand these things because you’re in the physical plane, but there’s a mighty war raging (Audio) in the spiritual. The hearts and souls of My children are at stake. Satan and his demons are not going to stop their onslaughts and go away just because you decide to surrender your all to Me and yield your will to Me. They’ll push all the harder, for their fury is fierce. You don’t need to fear, for you have Me and the forces of My army on your side. But as I said, don’t think this fiery trial is as some strange thing that has happened to you.
My love, the war is raging and Satan is on the warpath! You must realize that you’re a target he wants to hit. He’s after you, as he’s after each of My children. You’re naïve in your heart in the ways of spiritual war. You trust Me to protect you. You trust in My Word. You believe in Me with all your heart. You believe in My Word. You take the weapon of My Word and wield it with faith, and when it doesn’t immediately defeat the Enemy, you’re surprised.
You’re buffeted. The Enemy comes in and tells you that your weapon is useless, and he drives you back, back, and further back. Then you find yourself pinned down under his sword and you scream out for help. You call on the forces of Heaven; you call for Me and I come. I never fail to come to rescue you and drive the Enemy away.
But you don’t understand why this happens. The Enemy uses this to sow distrust in your heart against Me. This is not a conscious thing that you’re aware of, but it’s an avenue where he gets in. It’s his desire to divide us.
So you must fight! You must realize that the spiritual attacks have intensified and that you can’t just fight and expect everything’s going to be great right away. You must fight on, and keep fighting. The victory doesn’t necessarily come overnight, but takes time to win. The battles will rage on, but the key is to fight.
That’s why it’s a day of the weak. You can’t fight such battles in your own strength or you would surely perish. To even think of such things is a daunting prospect and can cause men’s hearts to fail them. But your strength is in Me. You must simply believe that prayer, praise, and prophecy are the weapons. Never stop using them, never stop practicing with them, never stop “perfecting” them. For these seemingly “simple” weapons that don’t appear to have any great power in the eyes of man have power that you know not of.
These are the weapons whereby you shall fulfill My Words–“greater things than these shall you do!” The weapons of this warfare are not carnal, but mighty through Me to the tearing down of strongholds, the spiritual strongholds that the forces of evil have acquired through the ages, the stronghold of men’s hearts. If you ever wondered whether we are following the right commission, then wonder no more.
When you’ve captured a man’s heart, you’ve captured a mighty force. That’s why in the coming days it will be mighty warfare as the evil hearts of man wage war against My children. They will be mighty in number, but fear not, for evil will not triumph. In My mercy I will come to rescue My children and defeat the forces of darkness, and then we will rule and reign a thousand years.
So don’t cease to use these weapons which the Enemy attempts to discourage you from using. For these very weapons will defeat him, and that’s why he does all he can to stop you from using them. The more you feel you cannot hear My voice and your sucking is in vain, the more important it is that you keep fighting. Fight on, I say!
Fight on! Persevere! Know that the Enemy is the father of lies. The more you feel despair; the more you can be guaranteed that he knows his end is near, for My Word is his end. So come to Me. Pray, praise, read My Word. Cry out to Me to speak to you. Suck for My seeds, and I will pour forth My Words in abundance. I fill the hungry heart.
You must believe My Word and act on what you know is the truth, even if everything around you points to the opposite. Your only true standard is My Word–not feelings, not anything but My Words. It’s My Word that will see you through. (End of message from Jesus.) (Issues, Part 5 [#3322])
Prophecy, Jesus speaking: Right in those eleven paragraphs is the outline of what I have you here in Mount Zion for (The City of Light). In these dark days of the End, the flesh will not prevail. This war can only be won in the spirit, by the spirit, and prayer, praise and prophecy are the weapons of choice. Continue to power them up by Loving Me intimately (PDF)and through obedience to all that I show you to do through My Word both old and new.
A frontline soldier rarely feels good or inspired about the job he has before him. He’s up to his knees in mud some days, or being baked by scorching heat on other days. The enemy keeps up a continual barrage of fire for days on end. The foot soldier is surrounded by noise and confusion a large part of his life. The enemy is relentless because he knows if he doesn’t defeat you today, you will continue to fire upon him and his troops tomorrow, and because you have superior firepower, he’s eventually going to be defeated.
It would almost be easier to be “out there” physically, like really in the mud with bullets and bombs whizzing overhead. At least you’d know you were at war, but these mind battles (Audio) can be deceiving. Well, that’s the way the enemy fights, and he’s won many battles this way. If he can defeat you in your mind first, then you’ll never get out there and start winning others. And getting out there today means sitting in that cockpit and accurately shooting those prayer missiles at his positions.
You might win a heart or two, here and there, if you go out there yourself, but by sending us out there, you will win millions of souls. For this is the way of battle I have ordained since the beginning of creation. It takes quite a bit of convincing to get the flesh to realize that it is not really needed out there. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be an instant witness when you go out there. In fact I’d be pretty disappointed if you stopped personal witnessing when going out. What I’m saying to you is that in the very end of days, the battle strategy has largely changed.
Now My Children of David have become professional prayer warriors because this is what is needed in these dark days of the End. The battle is raging in the hearts and minds of men everywhere, and that is where the enemy is going to attack you also. This is what you might call D-day for him and his forces. This is his last-ditch attempt to take as many souls with him into the pit as he can. You are in his way –not only that, but you have the weapons that are effectually trashing his kingdom before his very eyes.
As you have noticed, he’s gotten the physical side of his kingdom pretty much under his thumb. There is little or no resistance to his Mark of the Beast plan (Audio). The only people that could have given any resistance to his sweeping the board clean were My church children and the Children of David. But the church went off track many, many years ago. The enemy has gotten them off chasing the red herring thinking that the war is over there when actually it is over here. It is their own fault; they didn’t heed My Words in John 4.
They instead listened to the concision prosperity message which convinced them that popularity is a good thing. It was their pride. That is why I said to learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly of heart. To learn of Me you have to get quiet and listen to My still small voice in prophecy. Why are My true believers in such small numbers today? Because pride tells man he can do it. The Catholic Church is one of the biggest and richest organizations in the world today –physically speaking, but spiritually speaking they are the weakest of all; because they think they have the light.
Beloved, it all went wrong a long time ago. What resistance to the enemy’s take-over does the Catholic Church offer in these last days? I’m pointing out the Catholic Church because they started it all back in the days of the Concision, and everyone else wanted to be part of that successful, prosperous, popular, pushing-God business. You can argue that they have done a lot of good in the world: look at all the hospitals and CTP programs they’ve created over their history. Yes, but look at those hospitals today; look at those CTP programs and schools today.
Who is controlling them –the Catholic Church? No, the system is. Churchianity (PDF)is a system religion. My true children have no part in the things of this world. They are looking for My Kingdom to come. I’ve told My Children to come out of the world; the Catholic Church, and all the churches for that matter, are deeply embedded in the system. The system allows them to function because they have been a great trap to garner the religious-minded people. Islam is the same, as are all the other religions in the world today. Only I am the way, the truth and the life –Me, and Me alone.
If any man be in Christ Jesus, he is a new creature. The ways of man and his systems are passed away in the lives of My true believers. The just shall live by faith, and if any man draws back into the world, My soul shall find no pleasure in him, no joy of the Lord, no freedom. All I find in these religious system addicts are bound slaves. They are bound to their buildings and system lifestyle.
They are not free. But you are free, My beloved Children of David. And the only way to stay free is to listen to My still, small voice telling you “This is the way; walk ye in it.”
I will not tell you to go the system way; I will not tell you to follow the Red Herring. Can you imagine that My church children, and I am including TFI in that category, are still following a defunct religion that was canned by Me personally more than two thousand years ago? I stopped talking to the Jews way before I arrived on earth. I stopped talking to them because they stopped listening to Me.
I began talking again when I arrived on earth as a man. Did they begin listening then? Was I trying to revitalize temple worship (PDF)? Was I trying to start a new religion? Was I trying to become the most popular new religious movement of the day? None of the above! I was gathering good seed for the next planting, and the new planting season is about to begin. Just as soon as the last great harvest (PDF) is complete, we’ll be on our way.
Those unheeding and unbelieving Jews only saw Me as a threat to their established religious order. They tried to get Me to join them, and when I refused, they did Me in. Well, they were right, really. I am a threat to their established religious order, and it’s got nothing to do with numbers.
I don’t need large armies in the physical realm to win over Satan. The church thinks it is a large army fighting to prepare the world for My return. They aren’t fighting for Me; they are fighting for the Devil and his system. Come out from among them; touch not the unclean thing. The just shall live by faith; lay not up for yourselves treasures on Earth. What possible sign of the end could the Red Herring be?
They say it is a sign of My coming, that it is a sign that the third temple will soon be built and then the temple sacrifice will begin and blah blah blah. You see, a good red herring only works if there is a little bit of truth mixed into the lie. It’s like waiting for the Endtime train whilst studying a counterfeit timetable. My true church has always been in the spirit –the Kingdom of God is within you. It had to be this way, My loves, because this world was given to Satan in order to sift the wheat from the tares.
You may look at the system church, and yet you don’t know who are My true children amongst them and who are not. Oh yes, there are many millions deceived by the lies of the concision. That is why you are fighting in the spirit. That is why this war must be fought this way –because not only the church has been deceived but the worldlings too. And they can’t get out of the trap. The trap is ingenious in its design. It takes faith to live by faith and all those schools that the church set up are only outward show.
They don’t teach freedom of spirit; they teach adherence to the system. Oh My loves, I could go on and on about how the Devil has defeated My children and the world in one fell swoop, but truly I have said enough. If you don’t know whom you are following by now, then I don’t know what more I can say. If you can’t tell the difference between My voice and the voice of the enemy in your mind, then I don’t know what more I can say.
Yes, I started talking again when I arrived as a man on earth, and I have not stopped talking to those who would listen. That is why I’m talking right now, because you are listening, but the question is, will you heed My whispers and stop listening to the enemy as well? Yes, I know he comes in like a flood sometimes, a lot of times in fact, but I’ve given you the weapons to counteract those lies. I’ve placed them in your hands, so use them.
Listen, believe and do. Listen, believe and do…the weapon of our warfare is spiritual. Your mind is the battlefield, and that is where the enemy fights a relentless warfare in this very last hour. Gird up the loins of your mind, put on My mind, take up the weapon of Heavenly thought power, turn on the lights in the darkness of your mind and the enemy will come into full view. Start working in the spirit, because that is where he is fighting you. That is where he is overcoming you; recognize that you are being attacked and fight back.
Here are a few quotes to finish.
You have to fight to focus. You can’t let your mind wander. You have to believe that the keys have the power that you’re seeking, and you must manifest your faith through believing and concentrating, and not letting anything else come into your mind, no doubts, worries, or thoughts like, “I wonder if the keys are really going to do their work (Video), and heal him or her?” Or, “What if they don’t work, and what if the situation doesn’t change?” You just have to determine to believe. Belief is vital to the keys working miracles for you.
(Jesus speaking:) The gift I place in your hands will be one of inestimable worth to you in these Last Days, for it is the gift of greater thought power. I will activate My thought power within those who meet the requirements. If you will allow Me full possession and will put on My mind, our minds will meld. And as you take on the totality of the mind of God, your thought power will be increased; your mental and spiritual power will be greatly enhanced. For in putting on My mind, My Spirit will flow through you in greater degree.
7. In fully uniting your spirit with Mine, as you allow Me to fully possess you, as you reject carnal-mindedness and put on My mind, as you allow Me to more fully live in you, as you live, breathe, and think My thoughts, then I am able to activate a greater capacity of mental and spiritual powers within you. Your mind has tremendous potential, for it is spiritual, and when your mind is yielded to Me, you are able to generate My power. You become generators of the power of God and nothing will be impossible to you!
8. The mind of God is powerful, and as you reject the thoughts and reasoning and conclusions of the world and put on My mind, My Heavenly thought power can then be activated within you. When you put on My mind you will have greater focus, greater perception, greater insight, greater wisdom, and true knowledge-for it will be the knowledge of God, not of the world, that controls you.
Loving Me also makes you more spiritually aware and sensitive, dispelling the Enemy’s attacks of carnal-mindedness and flatlanderness.
- * The single greatest personal benefit in loving Me intimately is the thinning of the spiritual veil between us. When you love someone‚ you can often sense and feel things that they’re going through even when not in their visible presence. You begin to sense My will more clearly; you begin to read My mind, feel My feelings, and receive My thoughts. Because you love Me intimately, the spiritual veil between us becomes thinner and thinner as you fall deeper and deeper in love with Me and become more and more accustomed to My way of thinking and acting.
- The thinner the veil gets, the nearer you draw to My presence. The more you are in My presence, the more power you have. The more power you have, the weaker the Enemy’s attacks against you are. The weaker the Enemy’s attacks against you are, the easier it is for you to defeat them. And the easier it is for you to defeat the Enemy‚ the harder it is for him to defeat you.
- I honor you with this fight, because you have proven yourself strong and ready to fight back. You have proven to Me that you are smarter and wiser than to fall for the Enemy’s devices, so I have sent you into the battle. It’s a tough fight and there might not be a single clear reason to fight in your mind, so you might wonder what on earth you’re doing here.
- I’ll tell you what you’re doing: You are engaging the Enemy, and he’s trying to divert you with his lies. He sees that he can’t win, so he’s hoping to get you to desert like he has. But you won’t hear of it. You’re going to stay true to your calling and let nothing dissuade you from the fight.
- I can see you refusing to listen to the Enemy’s lies. I can see you doing your best to resist. You’re holding on, and I’m going to reward you with heavenly reinforcements. The keys are rushing to your aid. The forces of Heaven are bearing down on your position and you have only to hold on a moment longer before they arrive, and we will launch an attack against the Enemy with all our might.
- Here’s your chance to stand strong and not give the Enemy any place. Here’s your chance to activate the keys and raise your shields. Don’t let the Enemy fire his lasers into your ranks. Raise the shields, ready your forward batteries, and give’m Hell!
- It’s time to stand strong and prove your worth as a soldier. Fight, and you won’t be disappointed. Those who hold on and endure to the end will receive the glow and glory of the victory. You’ll walk away from this fight with the glory of war upon you.
- I’ll pin badges of bravery and commendation on your chest and you’ll be able to talk about this day with pride–the day that you stood strong, that you overcame, that you weren’t swept away. The day that you held on, and even the wounds that you’ve received, will make you proud. You’ll show them off and others will look at you with admiration for holding on and fighting the battle.
- This is why I have instructed My children down through the ages to pay close attention to the mind. For just as this is the control center that Satan uses to manipulate his own, so it is the battlefield on which he wages his ruthless attacks against you, My children. In addition, it is through the mind that he seeks to hinder you by preventing you from allowing Me full possession in the first place by trying to share the occupancy of your thoughts.
- The mind is the great battlefield where ruthless war is waged–the war for possession! The sins that bring you down all filter through the mind: pride, the root sin of all; jealousy; lust; selfishness; lethargy; bitterness; disunity; comparing; discontent and murmuring; negative thinking; worldliness; disobedience; doubt; putting other gods before Me; self-righteousness, etc. It all begins in the mind, takes root in the mind, and festers in the mind.
- The port of entry to possession is through the mind. This is true for both Me and for the Enemy. Satan controls his own through the mind, and so do I. This is why the Apostle said, “Put on the mind of Christ.” This is why you are instructed to think good thoughts, to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, to keep your mind stayed on Me, for therein lies perfect peace.
- The outcome of all battles is determined first in your mind, for this is where your will is set. This is where you choose Me and My ways, where you choose to accept My Words and put on My mind. Belief, faith, trust, confidence, and acceptance all begin in the mind. If you are of a ready and willing mind, all that I have is yours for the asking.
- Why do I speak to you of this now? Because, My loves, in order to use the new gift I will put in your hands, you must give Me your mind–fully, completely, without reservation. You must allow Me full possession, that I might live, work, think, and act through you fully, as I desire.
- If you are going to use the full power I have given you, I cannot share your thoughts with the carnal mind. I cannot perform mighty works through you in coexistence with the mind of man–for this stifles My Spirit from fully and completely performing great feats through you. It prevents you from activating the full capacity of spiritual powers that are at your disposal.
- If you are going to work greater miracles, if you are going to fulfill your destiny, you must be Mine. You must be completely possessed by Me, and in order to do this, you must put on My mind. You must more fully think My thoughts. You must allow the spirit of My mind to become one with the spirit of your mind. You must put on the totality of the mind of God.
