EARTHQUAKE

THERE IS COMING AN "EARTHQUAKE"
SO DEEP AND SO WIDE
THAT THIS EARTH WILL ACTUALLY LOOK UPWARDS AND ASK
FOR ANSWERS
IT WILL SURELY BE A POLITICAL CAUSE
WHICH WREAKS THIS POWERFUL
STANCE AND BREAK
BUT COME ALONG FOR A FEW MORE LESSONS
JUST A FEW
AND THEN WE WILL TAKE OFF 3 WEEKS FOR
"THINGS TO HAPPEN"
THE LAST TIME WE TOOK OFF 3 WEEKS FOR
"THINGS TO HAPPEN"
THE UNITED STATES WAS AT A STAND-STILL
WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT
BUT JUST AS EXCITING
I PROMISE!

STAND STILL, PEOPLE,
AND LOOK UPWARDS BEFORE THE HAVOC BEGINS
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING?
YOU THINK THAT YOU DO FOR YOU LIVE YOUR LIVES
DAY AFTER DAY ALL THE SAME
HOPING THAT LIFE WILL BE GOOD AND SATISFYING
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS TURMOIL
OR DISASTER OR ILLNESS
THEN
YOU BEGIN TO LOOK TO FIND ME
AM I HIDDEN?
PERHAPS
CAN YOU RECITE A FEW PRAYERS AND TRULY BELIEVE
THAT I WILL HARKEN TO YOUR SIDE
AFTER YOU HAVE IGNORED ME FOR SO LONG?
I'M NOT THAT NEEDY
WHAT IF WE HAD BECOME FRIENDS BEFORE THE DISASTERS CAME
AND WE COULD TALK AND I COULD COMFORT YOU
AND PERHAPS, MOVE MY HAND IN YOUR BEHALF?
BUT ALAS, YOU ARE TOO BUSY TO LOOK FOR ME WHEN ALL IS WELL
BUT FOR HOW LONG WILL ALL BE WELL?
THAT IS WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
YOU MAY WANT TO BEGIN TO SEEK AFTER ME NOW
YOU KNOW - LIKE GETTING CAR INSURANCE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT
JUST A THOUGHT . . .

PART II
INVOLVES THE SPIRITUAL ONCE MORE
I SENT MY SERVANT TO THE COAST YESTERDAY
I TOLD HER TO CROSS THE RIVER AS SOON AS SHE ARRIVED
AS SHE APPROACHED, SHE SAW THAT THE RIVER
WAS NO LONGER CROSS-ABLE
SHE TALKED TO A MAN NEARBY WHO SAID
THAT THE TIDE HAD JUST COME IN
15 MINUTES EARLIER AND IT WAS TOO DEEP TO CROSS
SHE LOOKED AND LAMENTED,
KNOWING THAT SHE COULD NOT DO AS I SAID
BUT THEN I SPOKE THE ILLUSTRATION:

YOU HAVE BEGGED AND BEGGED
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FULLY CROSSED
TO COME OVER, BUT THEY HAVE BALKED
AND NOT PLACED ONE FOOT AFTER ANOTHER TO CROSS
NOW IT IS TOO LATE
AND THOSE WHO REMAIN ON THE SIDE
OF THE "HARLOTS" WILL SURELY REMAIN "HARLOTS"
AND MY HOLY SPIRIT WILL NO LONGER STRIVE WITH THEM

SHE SAT IN HER BEACH CHAIR AND CRIED MY TEARS FOR
WE SURELY LOVED THOSE WHO WE HAVE STRIVEN WITH
IT WAS NOT A GAME OR EVEN A CHORE
BUT IT WAS TO SAVE LIVES BECAUSE WE LOVED
AND YET, THEY WOULD NOT COME
YOU CANNOT FORCE SOMEONE TO COME
YOU CAN ONLY LOVE THEM AND ENCOURAGE THEM
BUT THERE COMES A TIME WHEN WE MUST MOVE ON
TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING
AND THAT WE WILL DO

IN SUMMATION, I DECLARE:

ABSOLUTE VICTORY IS AT HAND
ABSOLUTE VICTORY IS IN MY HANDS
ABSOLUTE VICTORY IS DECLARED AND WON

I SPOKE TO MY SERVANT
TO RAISE THE TRUMPET AND SHOUT THE BATTLE CRY
FOR YOU SEE, PEOPLE,
I AM IN CHARGE EVEN THOUGH SO MANY COUNT ME AS
"MISSING IN ACTION"
YOU LOOK AROUND AND THE TRAGEDIES AT HAND
TRY TO PROVE MY ABSENCE
BUT FRIENDS,
I AM ONLY ABSENT BECAUSE
YOU WILL NOT INCLUDE ME

DO YOU KNOW PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH?
THINK HARD
WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
BUT THINK AGAIN . . .
IF SOMEONE SPOKE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH
WOULD YOU WANT THEM NEAR?
WOULD THEY BE WELCOME IN YOUR LIVES, IN YOUR HOMES,
IN YOUR CHURCHES?

I SENT MY SERVANT
TO SPEAK AND TO WRITE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH
AND YET, THE ONLY ONES TO WELCOME HER
ARE THE ONES TRULY BORN OF MY SPIRIT
THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE MY HOLY SPIRIT
REBUKE THE TRUTH
THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE MY HOLY SPIRIT
BLASPHEME MY WORDS
THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE MY HOLY SPIRIT
ARE NOT TRULY MINE

LOOK AT YOURSELVES
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
IN YOUR INNER-MOST BEING?
DO YOU REALLY?
THEN CRY OUT FOR TRUTH
CRY OUT FOR EMPOWERMENT
CRY OUT TO BE PLACED IN MY BUILDING
IT WILL TRULY BE A BUILDING WITH TRUTH
AS THE FOUNDATION

SERVANT, ARE YOU TIRED OF CHIPPING AWAY
AT THE STONES FOR MY BUILDING?
YOU LABOR AND YET, THERE IS LITTLE PROGRESS
THE RIVER IS CLOSED TO THE "HARLOTS"
BUT YOU HAVE STILL HAD TO WORK WITH THOSE
OF MUCH PRIDE AND SIN
TO CHIP AWAY THAT FOR WHICH KEEPS THEM FROM RECEIVING
MY ANOINTING FOR THEIR WORK
WILL WE CONTINUE ON THIS WAY?

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY OF YOUR PROGRESS
AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL LIKE YOUR NEW PROMOTION
IT IS NOT BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT DO THE JOB
BUT THAT THERE IS SO MUCH WORK TO DO
WITH THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY
READY TO BE PLACED
YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE TIME
TO STRUGGLE WITH THE OTHERS

There was once a Man
who owned a company which built and flew jets
He offered a class to those who had an interest
in learning to maintain and fly the jets
To each one who would pass the class,
this wealthy man would give a jet
The class was hard and many balked at the assignments
for they realized not the significance and responsibility
of flying and maintaining the jets
Each semester the classroom would fill
with people interested in learning
Some would drop out right away when they learned
how strict the rules were for attendance
and compliance to specifications, but a few would
always continue on to the end
At the end, the teacher of the class
would award a jet to the person who passed every test
Of course, the Owner of the company would be present at the award
ceremony and the teacher would comment on each person’s
personal qualifications and accomplishments in the class
Too often there were students that
stayed on semester after semester
Why was this?
You would think that they would be anxious
to finish the class to receive the jet,
but for one reason or another they would not finish
their projects which had been outlined by the teacher
Oftentimes, the student who was lax would even rebuke
the teacher, claiming that the assignment
was too hard or not necessary
or that the teacher, herself, was not qualified to teach
Whatever the rhyme or reason, many students remained to take up
the teacher’s time and energy
The Owner, noticing the hardship that the teacher had with these
students decided to enter the classroom and remove these problem
students to a “special class” by themselves
with Him as the Instructor
The teacher was only given the task of teaching
those willing to progress to their award in a timely manner 
Relieved of the people that beleaguered their assignments,
many more people were able to be taught by this teacher
and in short order, rewarded with their prize

Was the teacher a good teacher?
All she knew to teach was what the Owner had taught her
She had no other credits to speak of in her defense
Would the slow students have ever finished in her classroom?
No, for they did not realize that all that they were taught
was completely authorized by the Owner
and that there is truly a time-limit to complete the course
What would be the Owner’s tactics for making the students learn
what they did not want to master?
To each one, according to their difficulty,
He would allow them to do the work repeatedly until
they did it correctly
Instead of teaching a simple lesson and allowing
the student to turn in the assignment,
due to the student’s previous procrastination -
He required the same work done over and over and over
until it was fully mastered without complaint
Simple plan
All the students will receive their jets, but some
will have to work 10 times harder to earn them
That is all

And to you, teacher, only those who will obey Me
the 1st time will I allow in your presence
Your time is too valuable to be spent on those
who must be continually led along harshly
I will surely jerk them into submission and their classroom
will very quickly become much harder
This is an Honor for which I bestow on you
for you took on all students which I would lead your way
Many frustrated you and rebuked you and broke your heart,
but you taught them because I asked you to
Now, go up to the Graduate Level and gently lead those who
are ready and obedient to their Award

LET GO OF THE OLD ASSIGNMENTS, MY FRIEND
I WILL SURELY BLAST THEM MY WAY
IT WILL BE MUCH QUICKER THIS WAY FOR I WILL BE
"ON THEIR CASE" DAY AND NIGHT
THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE A BREAK UNTIL THEY ARE TRULY BROKEN
AND READY TO BE PERFECTLY SUBMISSIVE TO MY WILL
HOW ELSE CAN THEY FIT INTO MY BUILDING?

I SENT YOU, SERVANT,
TO THOSE WHO ARE TRULY OF MY BUILDING
JUST RECENTLY
YOU TRAVELLED FAR TO MEET WITH THEM
AND YOU HAD SPOKEN TO ME OFTEN BEFORE YOUR VISIT
THAT YOU NO LONGER BELIEVED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
BUT LO AND BEHOLD
I SHOWED YOU MY BODY
PERFECTLY SUBMISSIVE
READY TO HEAR MY WORDS
ABLE TO CONFIRM ALL THAT I SPOKE THROUGH YOU
AND KIND AND LOVING TOWARD YOU
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WILL BE SENT TO COMMISSION
THEY ARE READY
THEY ARE MORE THAN READY
ALL YOU MUST DO IS SPEAK MY PERFECT WILL OVER THEM
AND WE WILL ALL BUILD TOGETHER
A BUILDING
A NEW JERUSALEM
WHICH HONORS ME
SHALOM?

Indeed

EVEN IN YOUR SLEEP
YOU WILL TRAVEL AND COMMISSION
TRANSLATIONS APLENTY
YOU WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE VERY HOUR
THAT YOU ARE BROUGHT HOME
SHALOM, CHILD
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOUR HEART
IT'S ALL MINE - ALL MINE
IT HURTS FOR ALL THE STRUGGLES WITH MAN'S PRIDE AND EGO
BUT NOW I HOLD IT CLOSE TO ME
AND I FUSE YOURS WITH MINE
AND TOGETHER WITH ME
YOU WILL KNOW A NEW FREEDOM,
A POWERFUL NEW LOVE, A NEW GRACE UPON YOUR LIFE
FOR I WILL GIVE YOU FAVOR WITH THE WORLD
WHERE THE "CHURCH" REFUSED YOU AND CURSED YOU
THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT YOU HOLD IN ONE LOOK
ALL THAT THEY DESIRE
"COME!"  I WILL SAY
"COME AND DRINK FROM THIS FOUNTAIN OF LIFE"
(ISAIAH 55)
FOR I SPRING UP MIGHTILY WITHIN YOU
IN A PERPETUAL FOUNTAIN OF GLORY

COME, CHILD
COME UNTO ME AND I WILL TOUCH YOUR TONGUE
AS I DID IN YEARS BEFORE
TO PROCLAIM MY LOVE AND POWER
BUT THIS TIME TO THE WORLD
TO THE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY
TO THOSE WITHOUT THE PRIDE OF LIFE
TO HOLD THEM BACK

I SHOWED YOU A MOVIE LAST NIGHT
FOR JUST ONE LESSON

** NEVER GIVE THE MICROPHONE AWAY **

I WILL SURELY PLACE IT IN YOUR HANDS
AND YOU WILL SPEAK TO THIS WORLD
LET NO ONE FOLLOW TO SPEAK CONTRARY
NO ONE

SURELY, YOU GAVE YOUR TESTIMONY YEARS AGO AS MY TEST
TO SEE IF YOU LOVED ME
YOU SPOKE, SMILED AND HANDED THE MICROPHONE BACK
TO THE ONE WHO HAD GIVEN IT TO YOU
BUT SERVANT,

NOW
NEVER LET IT GO!!!

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN!
THE "HARLOTS" ARE BEHIND US
I WILL CAUSE THE STONES WITH EDGES TO SUBMIT
SO ALL THAT YOU ARE CHARGED TO DO
IS COMMISSION MY PEOPLE
AND
SPEAK TO THE WORLD
SIMPLE
FUN
BUT MUCH MORE FUN THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE RIGHT NOW
FOR YOU WILL NOT DO IT AS THOSE BEFORE YOU HAVE DONE IT
OH NO
YOU WILL BE DIFFERENT
IT WILL BE FUN!

WAIT AND SEE, WORLD
WAIT AND SEE . . .


A hint of things to come . . .
Matthew 4:16
