Prophetic Words
09/16/2006 Now is the time to turn to the battle. No longer can My people stand along the side lines and do nothing. I shall judge them for their silence. I will judge them for doing nothing. I will uphold My warriors but I will cast down the proud and fearful. The day has come to make the decision on who you will stand with. No more fainting hearts for those with fainting hearts shall be no more. Be strong of heart. The heart of a lion shall be victorious. And My warriors shall lead My people into victory. The day is yet to come and it shall never come where My people shall taste true defeat. For I have given them a contract, sealed in My blood, that this shall come to pass. Arise warriors take your stand. Organize, put your people together. Bring them together. The day of the great battle has begun. Three times I have come to you and three times My words have fallen to the ground. For there has yet been found those that will stand and listen. My word shall fall into the rivers and the lakes and streams and oceans. It shall water those that are willing to stand there and partake. And it shall purify and that which is dead shall be alive again. And though you think your voice has been silent, it has been heard in the heavens. No eye has seen and no ear has heard the good things that I have prepared for those that love me. Although there are those that have been deaf, I have heard, the angels have heard, the angels of darkness have heard and they have trembled. I call you valiant. I call you kings. I call you knights and warriors. For surely you have faced those that you have not seen. And you have impacted their hearts with fear. For surely they have stood in the greatest of times. And the worst of times and they did not fall, they did not bend, they did not break. The day will come when you will find even honor among your enemies. Because of your character. Because of your nobility. And they shall say, “Surely these are princes. A nation like no other. And no weapon formed against it shall prosper.” To arms! To arms! For now I call you to battle. Now is the time to arise. Arise from your sleeping. Arise rested and prepared for battle. For now it is time. And I call you. Hear the trumpet sound. Hear the trumpet blow. It is time. Arise! Go to your horses. Arise and mount. Draw your sword. Draw your spears. For the battle has begun. This the day of reckoning. This is the day when all things shall come to pass. And the battle is here. Arise! Arise!
I believe this is a "Word" that the Lord spoke to me, David Apel, at IHOP in K.C., on 11/15/2003 So many churches today are like bottles. I am with them and in them, but like unopened bottles, they keep what I have given them for themselves, instead of releasing Me and refreshing those around them. They keep what they have and don't give it away and they don't believe that I can replenish and overfill with abundance what they have given away. Instead, like paupers, they horde what they have, for a rainy day. Only when they release what they have, what I have given them, and start believing that I can give them more, only then will they not live a life of poverty in the spirit and move beyond the lack that they live in. They live for a "Better Tomorrow", when I will pour out in abundance, and they limit themselves today. They are mistaken, I have already poured out and they have shown that they cannot be trusted with a "better thing" by showing that they will only keep it for themselves and do not refresh a dying thirsty world. Most see the desert they are living in, but instead of refreshing one little spot, they keep what they have and nullify a true work in their lives. They already have the Living Water in them. What more do they want? "Pour Out! Pour out," I say, "and see the value and purpose and ability of the true God that you serve." And by pouring out and giving up what they already have they will never live in lack again. Not in their own lives, but also in the lives of those around them. For they are called to be Living Wells and those like the Samaritan woman will be drawn to them for they will see that my Living Wells are the only source of true refreshment and fulfillment. But, My Church has to pour out what I have given them in order to get more. And do not limit Me in your life. For I have called My Church to be the vial of oil that never runs dry and the barrel of meal, that is used to make and to portray the Living Bread. And those around My church will never go hungry. Move with Me. Move to the place I have prepared for you. And no, you have not seen it. Only in the spirit have you seen it and like Abraham I have a covenant for you. A covenant of promise and hope. Hope that will not disappoint and a promise that will be everlasting. Do not hesitate to step forward. For the hour is late and the time passes swiftly. Like the sands in an hour glass, the final sands seem to travel much more quickly. These are truly the last hours and if you sleep, if you blink, you might awaken and find that it is all over. And then it will be too late. And my judgment shall come upon the earth. And you do not want to know My wrath. So awaken from your laziness and equip yourselves and align to those around you of like minds. Align yourselves with those that seek to do My will and see My will done in the earth. Awaken those that are sleeping, but if they choose not to go, then leave them. For this is the hour of pure hearts. Pure hearts that seek after Me. Those that seek after men and their desires shall be lost. Make no mistake, I will not be mocked. But, those with a pure heart shall see My face and see My glory and they shall behold things unimaginable. Many persue the wind, but they shall only find the chaff and dust, but those that seek Me and My holiness shall be satisfied and they shall not be disappointed. For the things of this world that they have given up will seem trivial in comparison to what they shall find. For I am the true treasure that they shall never loose. I will not sift through their fingers like dust, but what shall be in their hands shall cling to them and I shall not let go of them. Persue Me. Persue Me with all of your heart, Church, or you might just find that much of the world, whom you thought were lost for all eternity, might just find Me. And they shall not see Me with the perversions of Man's religion, but they shall behold Me with a pure heart that is not contaminated by man's concept of who I Am. For I Am. And I Am all that I said that I Am. And I Am well able to do all that I said. I Am all powerful, who raises the dead, who heals the sick, and the lame walk in My presence. That has never changed. I Am all knowing. I know how the heavens were formed and how your children died. And I know how to solve the world's problems, if only man would seek Me. I would reveal more to them than science could ever know. And I Am all present. I Am everywhere at the same time. I Am there when the lowly and humble seek to do My will in private. And I Am there when My exalted fall into sin and adultery. They do not cheat, for I see them. And their perversions shall be seen. These men and My judgment must be seen, in the last days to come, for the world must know that I Am more than a God of Love. I Am a "Just" God and I will judge those that stood before Me and proclaimed My Words. The world must see these things so that they will know that I will not spare My own elect for My name's sake. Behold the purity and righteousness that shall be seen in My Church in the days to come. For those without a pure heart cannot live with Me in Eternity for it is a place with no defilement. It is a place beyond your imagination with no tears, no sorrow, and no darkness. I wish My Church could see it now, and they could with the eye of their spirit, if they would only choose to. So lay down your labors, atleast for a moment and relax and gaze into My face and behold My beauty and you shall lack no more. And you shall wonder no more. And you shall wander no more. You shall wander from My beauty no more and you shall know what true satisfaction is. Call to your brethren. Call to them and tell them what lies before them. Warn them, but more than that, tell them the beauty that they can behold. Tell them the beauty they can have. The beauty with which I see them. Call to them and point them to the glory that I possess. The glory that I desire to see released in the world today. Not just in the church, but in the world, also, for the world is Mine and not theirs and I can reclaim it anytime I desire. And no one shall stand before Me in that hour, the hour that I reclaim my world. All those that seek to keep Me from being "God", in that hour, shall be overcome by fear. Their hearts shall fail them and they shall fall to their knees and worship Me. Call to those in darkness and call them into the Light, for the darkness has blinded them from My beauty and My Love. Tell them the truth of who I really Am. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RISINGS AND FALLINGS For the risings and fallings shall come quickly in the days ahead. Those that seemed to have the lime light and seemed to have carried a heavy anointing, I will bring down quickly. And those that are My true servants, those that truly hunger for Me and seek to do My will, I will raise them up just as quick. And My words shall come to you quicker and quicker. In the days gone by, when you labored and labored to speak one word, those days will be gone and My words will flow forth with much force and clarity. In the past, you have labored to understand the things that I said to you. But in the days to come, I will make them very clear to you. For I have truly restored the days of Adam in the garden when I walked with them and talked with them face to face. And I have restored the Moses of this generation. Those that I desire to speak to face to face. And they have been hidden on the backside of the desert for a long time now, but now I shall call them forth. And those that have stood in the forefront and many thought they carried much weight, I used them as a ploy to keep My hidden and chosen ones safe from the Destroyer. But, make no mistake, there are many that have risen up in the forefront, that I have anointed and they will stay there, but do not marvel when many others shall fall. For you shall know them, for they did not say look at Me! They sought to draw men unto themselves. So keep this in mind, I have chosen you, but I can also choose not to use you! So look at your heart! For he who examines himself need not be judged for they have already been judged. You are My people now. Believe it! Believe it! Believe it and come now with much boldness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COME FORTH ELIJAH! Come forth Elijah! Come forth from the wilderness from which I have hidden you. Come forth from the dessert of affliction by which I have proven you and tested you. Come forth from the rocks and caves and mountains. For the days of listening to the wind and fire shall be over. For you shall stand before Me as did Moses My friend. You shall stand with great boldness and with signs and wonders that have never been conceived or even imagined. New things shall come to your hands and through your mouth. For like Me you shall be a person of Creation. You shall not be satisfied with the norm. You shall speak forth and a new creation shall form and the walls of religion shall fall by the wayside. And do not be afraid of those that stood in the forefront of this move of Mine and those that have testified of their own greatness. For they have truly sold themselves short. They have settled for that which is in their own hand and not sought that which I have in My hand for them. For that which is in My hand is a perfect work, but that which is in their hand is tainted by their own desires and experiences. But you, My true servants, those that have waited patiently for Me, those that have allowed for Me to place you upon My wheel and work you and form you as I desire. Those that have not kicked against Me. You shall come forth as My true and selected ones. Do not fear the wrath of man, because My hand shall be on you greatly. And though you feared that none would take notice of you. I tell you, do not seek the glory of man, for you shall truly be as Elijah and Jezebel shall seek to bring you down. For I have formed in you a heart of a warrior. I have trained you for battle. For the battle that is soon to come forth. And your only joy shall be in the battle. Your only joy shall be the smell of smoke and fire. For I have prepared you for this. I have kept you from the desires of the things of this world. I have fed you with locusts and starved you to be hungry for this day. I have brought your flesh under my subjection so that it no longer cries for the comforts of this world and the desire of mammon is gone. You, my true servants, seek only My will and My anointing and My desires. For you have waited for a long time for this day and the preparation has been difficult, but remember this, you have never been alone. For I have hidden away others in the caves, just like you, with the same desires and purpose. So come forth now Elijah. Come forth from your hiding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTHING IS HELD BACK
For it is now truly a time of great expectancy, a time
of great need, but it is also a time of great revelation. A time of great
understanding of what I desire of you. I will draw you closer to me than you
have ever been before and there shall be no
margin between us. No distinction. For I shall
place MYSELF upon you, not just a mantle. I shall give you all that I am.
And I Am that I Am. From before the beginning of time I was. And I formed
you, and I made you, and I planned you. I have put a
purpose before you. It is no longer a time of crying
out, but now it is a time of receiving. Receive what I have for you. Take it
all, for you will need it. You will need all of me and all of what I have
for you for these are dire times, but these
will be times of glory. Times of raising up people, drawing them from
obscurity and placing them in positions and raising them up to be a great
army. Greater than any army that shall ever trouble you. My sword
and my call are before you and you have seen this call
in your heart. You have heard My voice cry out longing for this day when my
people shall move out into victory. not just battle. For there is a
difference between battle and
victory. The victory goes before
and you possess it. So don't just move forward. LEAP forward! For the times
will come quickly and nothing shall be held back.
