This has been a season of being shaken, changed, and matured for those who are being led and taught by the Holy Spirit. The storms that have moved through the regions have been a prophetic time of reflection and clean up. When a storm of this magnitude comes through your city or town (your life), you are tasked afterward with cleaning up the mess. Just as In your life, God comes in and shakes everything that can be shaken and tears down everything that is not on a solid foundation so that everything remaining can be seen standing. Then the cleanup begins.

The Lord showed me a few weeks ago that shaking and the changing was going to bring the church into a new government and maturity, a government of an apostolic proportion. He revealed to me that He was going to dramatically begin to change the churches to live IN HIM, and Him in us. Now is not the time to give up but it is a time to die unto yourself so that the Jesus that lives in you can be seen.

Jesus prayed to God over His disciples to glorify them so that God could be glorified. In the process of becoming more intimate with Jesus we go through many shakings so that are thoughts can come into an alignment with His, and that our thoughts would be eternally minded and not earthly minded. As we wash our minds with the Word of God we can begin believing for the impossible to take place around us as when Jesus walked among the world in the flesh.

The word of God has to be the standing authority for righteousness and justice to stand in His realm of thinking and action. God is teaching His saints to be led by the Spirit in a true love, not an accusing love. A true love walks with authority over the evil with compassion but with a plumb line drawn to the truth.

Boldness is coming into the body to stand for what is right and true, not what is desire and selfishness.Discernment in its proper use is a must in this season as there are branches being pruned to the max, so the next season can be a super fruitful season. During this time of pruning we realized (the community we gather with) that there is a plain line of good and evil, black and white, truth and false, etc.

God began showing us scripture for the past weeks about an impending judgment upon His temple and showing us on what the He was going to Judge and what tables were going to be tipped. He was going to bring judgment upon words that were false, words that were empty, words that were negative, words that were death to others, and those who repay evil for good (curses). He showed me that He was going to reveal those who loved evil more then good. In other words they give more credit to the bad things (to the devil) rather then attending to the goodness of God.

As I was speaking one Saturday night, I had an open vision of a chalk line being snapped and the dust rising from the snap. I spoke forth what I seen but didn’t realize what the impact of the meaning to the fullness of what it meant was. But then a couple weeks later the reality came, and I saw the line but with dust still swirling. Then a week later I could see the line plainly.

The Lord was saying, “I am releasing my judgment upon the church and there will be those who get lost in the dust and can’t find their way, and then there are those who know to stand in the Word and will be found on God’s side of the line waiting on Him to reveal the next season.” The dust finally settling was Him wiping the dust off of our feet to walk into the next season with freedom and one of the greatest times in the body of Christ yet to be seen in this generation.

Below is scripture He released and continues to confirm His word in action and through other prophets and apostles.

Eph 5:1 THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].

Eph 5:2 And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. [Ezek. 20:41.]

Eph 5:3 But immorality (sexual vice) and all impurity [of lustful, rich, wasteful living] or greediness must not even be named among you, as is fitting and proper among saints (God’s consecrated people).

Eph 5:4 Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God].

Eph 5:5 For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]–for he [in effect] is an idolater–has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Eph 5:6 Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless arguments [for these sins], for through these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience.

Eph 5:7 So do not associate or be sharers with them.

2Ti 2:14 Remind [the people] of these facts and [solemnly] charge them in the presence of the Lord to avoid petty controversy over words, which does no good but upsets and undermines the faith of the hearers.

2Ti 2:15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.

2Ti 2:16 But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.

2Ti 2:17 And their teaching [will devour; it] will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus,

2Ti 2:23 But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels.

And the books of 1 John, 2 John and 3 John and the WHOLE book of Jude

The spirit of error and the spirit of truth are revealed by those who confess that Jesus Christ came in the Flesh and died for our sins and was raised three days later.

When you study the word “confess,” you will see that it is not meaning just saying that confession but it means a life that confesses the truth. Even demons can say that Jesus is the Son of God, but they can not confess a life and living testimony of Jesus. This is how we have so many false conversions and salvations that don’t stand.

The life will line up with the word of God through their intimacy with Him. Does this mean we go searching for those who may have sinned or may not line up with the Word? Absolutely not. We walk seeking the goodness of God in everyone, until the Lord brings His chalk line and the light will shine upon the darkness and it will flee.

As soon as the light or truth is applied to the darkness, there is no argument in His kingdom. When a light switch is turned on, the darkness doesn’t say, “I am not ready to go yet, you will have to wait.” No, it leaves immediately. For darkness isn’t anything except the absence of light.

If we go seeking for darkness you will find as much as you want, the world eats up words of evil or words against other people. The world will follow after those who speak with negative words.

1Jn 4:5 These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world’s language and the world eats it up.

The Lord spoke to me something that made my mind up to lay my life down for a friend. He said, “Loosing yourself in a cause larger then yourself is like laying your life down for a friend or loving your neighbor as thyself.”

When someone tries to tear someone else down when they have done well, make the decision to stand for what is right and true. Delusion and lies begin to be exposed and the true manifestation will be there to speak the truth. The next time someone wants to create a grape vine, tell them, “I live on the true vine. “

Make a stand to live IN HIM not someone’s expectation of you. If you aren’t received, wipe the dust from your feet, forgive, and move onto the next thing God wants you to do.
