WHAT
DID YOU PERCEIVE
CHILD?

Would You
mind telling me
what is on Your Heart first
I still need to calm down after that experience
so that my words are allowable

IT WAS
AS I TOLD YOU
BUT WORSE
YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BELIEVED ME
IF I HAD TOLD YOU BEFORE
BUT YOU SEE NOW
YOU HAD TO GO TO EXPERIENCE
THE DIFFERENCE
THE WORDS WERE SPOKEN
CORRECTLY
MANY GATHERED
AND WERE APPARENTLY
READY FOR PRAYER
BUT I WILL TELL YOU
A LITTLE STORY TO SHOW YOU
WHY I WAS NOT MOVED
BY THEIR ACTIONS:

A Father
waits in his office
on a Saturday morning
He has plans
to take his daughter
someplace special
Just the two of them
The daughter awakes
and comes into her father's office
to greet him
He does not speak of his plans
He only greets her with,
"Good morning, honey.
 Could you please clean your room
and then bring me something cold to drink?
 Thank you."
The daughter leaves her father's office
and returns a little while later
She's cheerful and happy to be with her father
She even begins to sing him a little song
to tell him that she loves him
"Did you clean your room
and bring something for me to drink?"
he asks
She says "No, but I just want
to talk to you today"
He's firm this time and tells her
that they will have much time to talk after
she does as he asked her to do
She leaves abruptly
and returns within minutes
He asks her once more if she had done
what he had asked her to do
She turns her head and leaves knowing
that she really doesn't want
to do as he asked
The father leaves the office and locks the door
He leaves a note on the office door
"When you complete what I have asked you to do
then we will have
a wonderful time together
Something special
which I have planned for a long time."

AND
SO IT ENDS
THIS CHURCH
PRAYS AND PRAYS AND PRAYS
BUT THAT IS NOT
WHAT I HAVE TRULY ASKED THEM
TO DO

PRAYER
COSTS NOTHING
BUT A LITTLE TIME

PRAYER
DOES NOT COST
THEIR REPUTATION

PRAYER
DOES NOT COST
THEM MONEY

PRAYER
SOMETIMES
IS JUST THE SUBSTITUTE
FOR HARD WORK IN THE KINGDOM
THE LITTLE GIRL IN THE STORY
TRIED TO SHOW THE FATHER HER LOVE
BUT HE KNEW THAT LOVE
HAD TO BE PROVEN
BY OBEDIENCE
HE HAD WANTED
TO TAKE THE DAUGHTER
SOMEPLACE SPECIAL
BUT
SHE WOULD NOT
CLEAN HER ROOM
  (REMOVE THE DISOBEDIENCE)
AND BRING HIM
A COLD GLASS OF WATER
 (SERVE HIM THE WAY HE WANTED TO BE SERVED)
AND ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH
WITH
MANY CHURCHES?
THEY PRAY
AND
HAVE CONFERENCES
AND
SPEAKERS AND SINGERS
BUT
THEY DO NOT OBEY ME
IN THE SMALL THINGS
I HAVE TOLD THEM
TO DO

DO YOU
REMEMBER, CHILD
THE FIRST THING
I TOLD YOU TO DO
BEFORE YOU STARTED
TO WORK WITH THE
"STREET KIDS?"

You told me
to simply put my tennis racket
in the trunk of my car and drive over
to their neighborhood

AND
THAT VERY DAY
I BEGAN SOMETHING GRAND
ONE YOUNG MAN
APPROACHED YOU
JUST TO TALK
AND OVER THE YEAR
ONE TENNIS RACKET
IN THE TRUNK
BECAME 12
AND THEN WE ADDED
HOCKEY STICKS AND ROLLER BLADES
AND PEPSI
AND THESE KIDS SAW
AND EXPERIENCED
MY LOVE IN ACTION
BUT WHAT IF
YOU HAD NOT DONE
THAT SIMPLE ACT OF OBEDIENCE
AND PUT THE TENNIS RACKET
IN THE TRUNK
AND DRIVEN OVER THERE
WHEN
I TOLD YOU TO?

It never would have happened

EXACTLY
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
HOW MANY OPPORTUNITIES
THIS CHURCH HAS LOST
BY NOT OBEYING
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
WHICH I HAVE GIVEN THEM
THE COST IS HIGH
FOR DISOBEDIENCE
I HAVE CLOSED MY "OFFICE" DOOR
TO THEM
THEIR PRAISE
DOES NOT MOVE ME
THEIR PRAYERS ARE EMPTY
FOR I ONLY SEE LOVE
THROUGH OBEDIENCE
YOU FELT
NO
ANOINTING THERE
YOU KNEW
NO
LOVE THERE
IT WAS ALL
FORMAT AND PRETENSE
IT WAS A FORMULA
IT
WAS SAD

It was sad
indeed!
God
did You know
that it costs $50.00 these days
to become a disciple?
They promise
to help You build a foundation
for the Revival for $50
God
You are the Foundation!
Don't they know yet
that the Harvest is not coming
to churches like this
Even if
they pay $100!
Why do they charge money
to teach
what they have been taught?
Nowhere in your Word
does it indicate
that the disciples
charged people money
nor did You
as You taught the disciples
I think that is SICK!
I ask You that You never put me
before the face of these people involved
for my words
would not be "nun-like"

THEY ARE
AN ATROCITY
TO ME TOO, CHILD
BUT THEY ARE NOT WORTH
THE WORDS SPOKEN TO THEM
COME AND SEE
WHAT I HAVE PLANNED
YOU HAVE ONLY ATTENDED
THESE CHURCHES
TO SEE WHAT I DON'T WANT

MY CHURCH
WILL BE PURELY LED
BY MY SPIRIT
AS IN DAYS OF OLD
JUST WAIT, CHILD
YOUR DAY IS COMING
AND YOU WILL
EXPLODE OUT
FROM
YOUR BRICK ENCLOSURE

JUST WAIT . . .

AND TO
THAT END
I WILL SPEAK
BUT YOU
WILL NOT
UNDERSTAND
THE FOLLOWING
IT IS MEANT FOR ANOTHER
AND MUST BE SPOKEN
THIS DAY
AND THEN
A MAGNIFICENT RIDE
UPON REBEL
WE WILL MAKE


COME, SON
WAS IT A BAD DAY?
AND, INDEED
THE DAYS WILL GET
WORSE AND WORSE
UNTIL
YOU DO AS I ASK
YOU THINK
THAT OBEDIENCE IS A CHOICE
IT ISN'T
IF
YOU WANT TO
REMAIN MINE
IT IS MANDATORY
AND I WILL PERSONALLY
MAKE YOUR WORLD
UNBEARABLE
UNTIL
YOU OBEY
IT IS A SIMPLE THING
WHICH I HAVE ASKED YOU
TO DO
IF
YOU CANNOT
DO THIS ONE THING
THEN I HAVE
NO USE
FOR YOU
AND I WILL
SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN

AND THE
MAN IN WHITE
SAID TO THE BENT OVER MAN
"SAUL, SAUL, WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE ME?"
AND SON
I SAY TO YOU THIS DAY
"SON, SON, WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE
THOSE WHO I HAVE SENT YOUR WAY
WITH NO TRUE
AND ABSOLUTE REPENTANCE?
 WHY?"
AND THE STORY ENDS . . .
OR BEGINS
IT IS YOUR CHOICE
BUT YOU
WILL DO AS I ASK
ONE DAY
IT JUST DEPENDS ON
HOW MUCH
I HAVE TO REMOVE
FROM YOU
UNTIL
THAT DAY
MAKE IT EASY
FOR BOTH OF US AND OBEY
I DO NOT RELISH
REMOVING
THAT FOR WHICH YOU LOVE
FROM YOU
I WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL THINGS
BUT YOU MUST OBEY
OR YOU ARE NOT WORTHY
OF ME
YOU ARE NOT WORTHY
OF MY KINGDOM
THINK THIS THROUGH
AND
SURRENDER!


*********************
God
sometimes I wonder
what would happen if I didn't write when
You bid me to write

YOU
WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO SLEEP OR EAT OR REST
OR DO ANYTHING
YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS
WHEN IT BEGINS TO MOUNT UP
YOU KNOW
THAT FEELING WELL
AND MANY TIMES
YOU TRY TO AVOID IT
BUT YOU END UP HERE
AND THAT IS ALL
THAT IS IMPORTANT
NO MATTER
HOW LONG
IT TAKES YOU TO COME
I AM HERE
AND READY TO SPEAK TO YOU
AND THE WORDS
MUST COME FORTH

I TOOK YOU
ON A RIDE
THIS DAY ON REBEL
A SHORT RIDE IT WAS
TO THE PLACE OF FOUNTAINS
BUT ONCE MORE
YOU RECEIVED
MORE WORDS
FROM MY BOUNTY
AND YOU ARE READY
YOU ARE SO READY
FOR THE COMING DAYS
MY FRIEND
YOU ARE
PERFECTLY READY

I'm glad to hear that, God
for since the wall went up
around me
I have no motivation
to continue anything
in the Kingdom
but loving You

Everything
I do seems to accomplish
so little
Almost all the people
who I have given words to
in these past 5 years
despise me and I'm tired of that
I guess
I don't really understand it

Once You
told me to submit to a prophet
that was coming to town
You told me to go to the meeting
and that the prophet would approach me
I was to submit to his words and obey
as if it was coming from You
You also told me
that I would not understand it all
And I surely didn't, but I did as You said
and I never despised this man
but why am I hated so?

Some nights
as I try to go to sleep
the memories haunt me
of the people
which I have spoken
and written to
I just wish it could all end
I was made to love You
and maybe we should leave it at that
I think its a good occupation
I think it could keep me busy for the rest of my life
I think it would keep me out of trouble, too
Think of that, my Friend!

AND ALAS
YOU TRY, LITTLE ONE
BUT YOU KNOW YOUR MISSION
I HAVE REMOVED YOUR PASSION
FOR THE WORK
UNTIL
THE CALL COMES
OR
YOU WOULD BE
"WILD"
AS YOU WAIT
COME TO ME
I WILL KEEP YOU BUSY
LOVING ME
I WILL

But, God
I don't really want to work
with people any more
I don't trust them at all

DO
YOU TRUST ME?

Yes

THEN BELIEVE
THAT I WILL BRING FORTH
THE HUNGRY AND THE THIRSTY
AND YOU WILL TURN
THIS WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
FOR ME
YOU WILL CHARGE
NOTHING
ALL
WILL BE FILLED
WITHOUT
COST
WHAT A CONCEPT!
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
GIVEN FREELY
TO THOSE
WHO WANT IT

God
this REVOLUTION
is so necessary
I know that
but I see the biggest opposition
as being the current church
which is calling out
for Revival

YOU
GOT THAT RIGHT
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE HARVEST
WILL BRING PEOPLE
INTO THE CHURCH
AND PAD THEIR POCKET BOOKS
AND PROVE
THAT THEY ARE WORTHY
OF THE KINGDOM
SORRY - PEOPLE
YOU ARE UNFIT
FOR MY KINGDOM-DWELLERS
THEY WILL BE MUCH
TOO WILD
FOR YOU
THEY WILL SURELY BE LIKE TERAH
AND AS OF YET
THERE IS NO CHURCH
THAT WILL ALLOW HER
IN MY FULLNESS

That's for sure
Don't You get tired of it all?

TERAH
GET PERSPECTIVE
REMEMBER
THE FOOTBALL FIELD
AND
THE VISION
OF
THOUSANDS
FILLING THE AREA
SINGING PRAISES
TO ME

Ahhh . . . that is better
Sorry about my attitude tonight, God
It's just been a slow day in the Kingdom

AND
THERE WILL BE
MANY DAYS LIKE THIS
UNTIL
THE KEY PLAYERS
DECIDE
TO OBEY

And that, my Friend
is what I am tired of waiting for
Do You remember just 2 nights ago
when You struck me with Your
POWER
I actually cried for I was afraid
Your Presence was not like before
I was caught unaware
and You simply asked me a question
and then FELL on me
I couldn't handle it and it scared me
Why can't You do that to the others
that won't obey?
You could have told me anything
at that point
and I would have obeyed

THERE IS
A PROCESS, CHILD
WHICH YOU DO NOT
FULLY UNDERSTAND

I realize that
but I am afraid
that when the others
are finally ready
that I will be completely
uninterested
as I am this night

AND IN
A SPLIT-SECOND
I CAN QUICKEN
YOU

I hope so
Can I at least go to Hawaii
while I wait
for the others?

WE'LL SEE . . .

That's good enough for me
Actually
You're quite the Paradise-trip Yourself
Maybe we could just take a walk
in the garden this night
and You could remind me once more
that it’s not my fault
that I have no excitement
for the coming days

One more thing
I just can't understand:
Let's suppose that You are a person
and I give You a word of Prophecy
What would cause You
to hate me?

THE SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY
THE SPIRIT OF DISOBEDIENCE
THE SPIRIT OF GREED
THE SPIRIT OF DISCONTENT
THE SPIRIT OF MOCKERY
THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL
THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRIST

Oh - I see
I always thought of prophetic words
as gifts to be treasured
I sure treasure Your words to me
even when they are rebukes
They are like the best of Wine
the purest of Food
and yet
when I give them
to others
often there is
no response
or hatred

TERAH
KNOW THIS
IF
I STOOD BEFORE
THESE SAME PEOPLE
AND
SPOKE THE WORDS
THAT WERE WRITTEN
IT WOULD HAVE
THE SAME RESULT
IT IS NOT
YOU
THAT IS
IGNORED AND HATED
IT IS ME
AND YOU KNOW
IN DAYS PAST
YOUR POPULARITY
FRIENDS
YOU
MADE AND PLENTY
BUT
MOST WENT BY
THE WAYSIDE
WHEN
YOU WERE FILLED
WITH ME
IT IS NOT YOU
DEAR ONE
IT IS ME
THAT THEY CANNOT TAKE
IT IS
RIGHTEOUSNESS
THAT THEY REVOKE
IT IS
TRUTH
THAT THEY DESPISE
IT IS
MY PURE LOVE
THAT THEY
CANNOT HANDLE
FOR SPIRITS
OF
THE EVIL ONE
FILL THEM
AND
THERE IS
NO PLACE
FOR ME

I guess I just get kind of lonely
waiting for
those who will treasure
Your words
as I do

YOU
WILL NOT
HAVE TO WAIT
TOO MUCH LONGER
FOR IF
YOU REMEMBER
THE YOUTH WHICH
YOU SERVED
IN THE PAST
THEY ALL RECEIVED
THE WORDS
MANY HAD TO HIDE
THE WORDS
FROM
THEIR PARENTS
BUT
THEY BELIEVED
THE WORDS
AND
EMBRACED THEM

I remember
it well and I loved them
Even when I see them now
they believe in me
in my relationship with You
Thanks for them, God
Thanks for the good memories
Can I hold You tonight
and we could talk of days to come
and perhaps
You could write on my soul
this night
that one day
it will all be worth it
for the Kingdom
I love You

AND I, YOU
AND I, YOU
AND I, YOU
AND I, YOU
AND I, YOU
AND I, YOU

God, you're CUTE!

DON'T
TELL ANYONE
IT WILL RUIN MY REPUTATION
MY IMAGE
THAT THE WORLD HAS FASHIONED
ALL THESE YEARS
OH
IF
THEY ONLY
KNEW ME
WHAT FUN
WE COULD HAVE

You're the BEST, God!

LET'S GO FOR A WALK . . .

***

TWO LESSONS
I TAUGHT YOU
THIS DAY
CHILD

THE FIRST:
THE COWARDLY
WILL NOT "DRINK"
FROM YOU
IT WAS
A SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION
BUT
THE LESSON
IS CLEAR
EVEN THOUGH
THE PEOPLE
MAY BE THIRSTY
IF
THEY FEAR YOU
THEN THEY WOULD NEVER
BE ABLE TO SURVIVE
THE EVIL ONE

THEY FEAR
THE
POWER OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
WITHIN YOU
AND RUN
BUT
WHAT
WOULD THEY DO
WHEN
SATAN STANDS
IN
THEIR FACE
IN
TOTAL EVIL
THEY WOULD RUN
AND HE
WILL CATCH THEM

IT IS
SIMPLE
THE COWARDLY
HAVE
NO PLACE
IN
MY KINGDOM
CHECK IT OUT:
REVELATION 21:8

THE SECOND:
LET THE LITTLE ONES
COME TO YOU
FOR SUCH
IS THE KINGDOM
OF HEAVEN
THE LITTLE FOUR YEAR OLD
DREW CLOSE TO YOU
AND
TALKED AND TALKED AND TALKED
SHE PLAYED AND LOVED
AND THUS
IT WILL BE
THIS LITTLE CHILD
WILL BEGIN
TO HAVE DREAMS
OF ME
AND
THE KINGDOM
SHE WILL HAVE A WISDOM
FAR BEYOND
HER YOUNG YEARS
SHE WILL KNOW
HER WHOLE LIFE
HOW DEEP MY LOVE
IS FOR HER

YES
IT WAS
A
SIMPLE LITTLE
INTERACTION
YOU
PLAYED AND LISTENED
AND
TALKED AND LAUGHED
AND
I PASSED ON
A GIFT TO HER
FOR HER LOVE OF YOU
AND THOSE
WHO WILL COME
AND
BRING YOU
SUCH A GIFT
WILL KNOW MY LOVE
THEIR WHOLE LIFE LONG
MORE THAN
THEY CAN HOLD
AND
A BLESSING
OF
REVELATION
WILL BE UPON THEM
IT IS SO
SIMPLE TO LOVE
SO FEW DO IT
ANY MORE
THEY DO IT
TO GAIN
BUT
HARDLY EVER
AS A CHILD DOES
JUST
TO LOVE

Thanks, God, for the gifts this day
My heart was so blessed with this little girl
Of course
her mother thought
that she was "bothering" me
but sometimes "bothering"
is really love, right?

YES
AND HAVEN'T YOU
THOUGHT THAT
YOU "BOTHERED" MANY
TOO
WITH
YOUR STUBBORN REFUSAL
TO LET THEM LIVE
WITHOUT
THE FULLNESS OF ME?
BUT NOW
YOU KNOW THAT IT
WAS LOVE
IT WAS PURE LOVE
GO OUT
AND
"BOTHER"
SOME MORE
CHILD
ALL FOR THE KINGDOM

I sure
needed it today
I love
Your surprises!

AND
ONE MORE
IS COMING
IN JUST HOURS
A MAN
FROM FAR AWAY
TO RECEIVE AN ANOINTING
I HAVE MADE HIM
DESPERATE
FOR THIS TOUCH
AND
YOU WILL GIVE HIM
ALL
THAT HE IS DESTINED
TO CONTAIN
AND THE REST
WILL BE LIKE THAT

THEY
WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO DO ANYTHING
IN THEIR
NORMAL WORLD
UNTIL
THEY GRASP HOLD
OF THAT
FOR WHICH
I HAVE DESTINED
THEM FOR
DO YOU
REMEMBER
THE VISION
I GAVE YOU LONG AGO
OF YOU BEING
THE
"ARK OF COVENANT”
THE
COMMISSIONING ARM?

IT IS
COMING TRUE
AND
NOWHERE ELSE
WILL THEY RECEIVE
WHAT
THEY CAN RECEIVE
THROUGH YOU
THEY
WILL KNOW IT
JUST AS THE LITTLE GIRL
PRESSED UP AGAINST
THE FENCE
TO BE CLOSER TO YOU
THEY
WILL PRESS AND PRESS
TO ENTER
YOUR PRESENCE
TO RECEIVE
THE PRIZE

LET
THEM COME
THE DOOR
IS NOW
OPEN
