THE SHARP DAGGER
7/26/00
Bonita Chapman
In a vision, I saw a hand slowly take a gleaming, very sharp dagger out of a beautifully crafted scabbard. It twisted the dagger back and forth checking it’s sharpness, then reached over and began to make a slit in some tightly drawn fabric with just the slightest pressure of the dagger tip. I could see that there was something behind the fabric that was going to fall out of the slit.
****************************
The dagger you saw is My Word. It is honed to the sharpest edge. It cuts with the slightest touch. It does not take a lot of pressure for Me to do My work with My Word. I designed My Word that way. I don’t have to hack and chop and saw for My Word to work. The slightest touch of My Word through My hand is all that is needed to open up those things that My people have held back, and kept hidden behind that curtain of their soul.
Up til now, I have allowed those things to remain. I have brought a few of them to the surface, but most of them I have allowed to remain hidden, in hopes that you would bring them out from behind that curtain on your own, and offer them up to Me. But time is drawing to a close, and there is no time to dawdle anymore. Those things in your soul that you have hidden away are keeping you from advancing in Me and completing the work I’ve given you to do. THEREFORE, I am giving you fair warning. Those things that you wish to hold on to in your soul that are not of Me, that you have hoped would remain hidden from sight, are going to be revealed by My own hand. My Word will reveal them. Not just My written Word, but My prophetic word, and words of knowledge through my servants, will be employed to cut open those areas of your soul and reveal those hidden things. They will fall out into the open like so much rubbish, and you will be ashamed that you did not allow them to be done away with before.
You have a choice. You can either get busy, and open your soul to Me in privacy, and let Me forgive and heal and change you, or you can sit idly by and wait for the inevitable cutting of My Word, exposing those things that you would rather keep hidden. I will no longer allow My Name to be maligned because of those who say they obey me but actually fight Me. I will no longer allow the world to have the wrong ideas about Me and My church, My bride, because of those so-called secret, hidden areas of filth and ugliness. They will not be allowed to taint My body. What is your choice? Will you submit to My work in you willingly and of your own accord? Or will you force me to reveal those hidden things to all in order to turn you around? Will you even refuse to turn around at all? THAT is something that I would not recommend, because you will not like the results. I am love, but I am also justice.
I am pleading with you now – open up your soul to Me fully and let me change it into my image. I do not want to have to cut those things out of you. Give them up freely, and do it NOW.

THE BRIDE WITH A RAT’S FACE
7/26/00
Bonita Chapman
During intercession, as Allen was praying for the revealing of the Bride of Christ in all her beauty, I saw a bride in beautiful wedding apparel, beginning with the tips of her shoes and working up the dress, past the bouquet, to a wisp of veil. But then I saw her face, and it was the face of a rat. Lord, explain this vision to me, please.
***************************************
There are in the world many who would like to think of themselves as part of My beautiful bride. They have been very careful to wear clothes that look like My bride, and they are working very hard to make themselves appear on the outside like My bride. But try as they might, no matter what they put on, or how they try to appear, they are NOT My bride. All you have to do is look them in the face, and you can see that they are simply rats in bride’s clothing. The world may look on the outside, and say, "What a beautiful bride! See how gorgeous that dress is! See that wonderful bouquet of flowers! See that beautiful veil!"
But I say that is not what makes one My bride. My bride is beautiful INSIDE. Her face reflects MY face, her face glows with MY love, and MY OWN appearance shines forth through hers. My bride is My bride because My love has drawn her to me, and my love has washed and cleansed her by My Word. She is My bride because of her relationship with Me, and her beauty on the inside shows up on the outside. She could be wearing rags, and she would look beautiful because My love and glory and peace cause her to shine with radiant beauty.
To those of you who are trying to make yourselves into My bride by your own works and your own efforts, I say this: Stop your nonsense! It cannot be done. Your own efforts, your own works, cannot bring the righteousness and the glory of My bride into your lives. Instead, you must submit yourselves to Me, and let Me change you into the image I desire. I will transform you if you will let me. Then you will be My bride in TRUTH. If you will not allow Me to change you and transform you, if you will not allow Me to have the rule in your life, you will continue to be a mockery in My eyes. And I will not allow such a mockery to continue very long. I will expose you to all, and you will be abased and ridiculed. Do not let this happen. It is up to you. Turn to me now, confess your sin of self-effort, of self-righteousness, and I will forgive you.
The time is very near when My bride will be put on display before all the world, and what a beautiful, glorious sight she will be! I am anxious for that time to arrive – in fact, I am so eager that I dance in excitement about it! But I want all of you in proper bridal attire, dressed by Me, from the inside out. My bride’s dress is PURE, GLISTENING WHITE, whiter than any fabric you have ever seen, because it is made of the light of My glory. Let me dress you in My glory, and bring you to My side. Say yes to Me now, and watch your "clothing" change, from earthly to heavenly, from dull to shining, as I do My work in you. I love you so much you cannot comprehend it now, but you will. You definitely will. And you will love Me in return more than you ever thought possible.
Quitters
1/17/01 – Mary Clark
Last night, during intercession, the Lord said the word, "quitters," to me.
Here is what the Lord has to say about "quitters" in this last day.
The Lord God Almighty is calling to His beloved children to take up their cross and follow the course He has set before them. He wants all actively playing the role that He has foreordained for them to present to the world.
Many at this stage of the game are growing weary in well-doing. They are wondering about the word the Lord spoke to their hearts. They are thinking maybe they heard wrong or missed a turn somewhere along the way. They are on the verge of throwing in the towel. To them, the Lord God Almighty has these important words: I want you to stay on course. I don’t want you to lose heart. You are so close, beloved. You are much closer than you believe at this point.
Hear Me when I tell you that the time is drawing nigh when you will walk in the high calling of your Lord. You are soon to see the manifestations of My presence that you have longed for. Stay the course, beloved. Again, I say to you, stay the course.
To those of you who do not realize the importance of this hour, I have these words to speak to you: Do not think for one moment that the Lord God Almighty has called you to take part in something that is not of vital importance. I have called you to enter into a last day extravaganza. I want you upright, and in your own position. I do not want you off course, seeking some other strategy. I want you following the will of your Father with the sure steps of a surrendered vessel. Hear Me as I make this important declaration: I am unifying My troops. This unity will come forth with the precision that only the Master’s hand could bring. This unifying will be both thrilling and compelling to those who seek the Master’s will. But to those who stray from My wishes I say these words: You are searching for something that does not exist. You are letting your vain imaginings get the better of you. Stay on the course of the Almighty. Do not wander, beloved. Keep your focus on the charges that I have placed in your heart. In so doing, you will reap lovely rewards, and know the joy of fulfillment in Me that only serving with diligence can bring.
I am calling My beloved into a wonderful unity of the faith. My heart is fixed on this purpose. My heart is fixed on having you ruling and reigning with Me. I have called you to be My holy people. I have wonderful plans for your future. Look forward to your future. Look forward to all the Holy One has in store for you.
In My next report to you we will discuss your future as it looks from My perspective. But keep these important words in your heart, beloved. Nurture them with the understanding that your Beloved has a purpose for you. His plan is to bring His will into focus for you soon. He desires for you to stay the course, not grow weary, and not to get off the track. Keep your focus on the assignments He has given to you in the past. Do not get caught up in vain imaginings. Keep your purpose fixed on all I have told you in the past. My word to you stands. I want you to stand in the face of the adversary with this in mind, beloved. Stand in his face, knowing that your God has given you an assignment, and you will see it fulfilled by His mighty hand.
Yes! All is about to come to a completion. It is coming sooner than you realize, beloved. All is coming to pass, sooner than you realize.
THE WASHING MACHINE
During church last week, the Lord showed me a washing machine, with the lid open, and began to speak to me about cleansing:
I want all of My children thoroughly cleansed and holy before me. The time of remaining dirty and befouled is gone. But many of you think of the cleansing process as something that should be easy and gentle. It is not. Notice this machine. The first thing that happens to a garment is that it is flooded with water. LOTS of water. The water becomes so deep that the garment cannot stay dry – not even a particle of it. The water is like My Word. It will flood you until you sometimes feel that you are going to drown in it, because every time you pick it up, you will see in it the sin and the problems that I am wanting to cleanse out of you! You cannot get away from it. Often my children will say that they do not want to read ONE MORE WORD about that certain subject! But my Word, my water, will flood you. It is not comfortable. But water is not the only element in the machine. There is also detergent – which represents my Holy Spirit. You see, the true purpose of detergent is to loosen and lift soil from the threads of the garment so that the water can then wash that dirt away. My Spirit will lift and reveal your dirt and sin to you, so that it can be washed away by the water of the Word. This, too, can be uncomfortable. Just remember the last time you got soap in your eyes, or detergent on an open wound, which is what sin is in your life.
Just about the time you get adjusted to the water and the detergent, and you think you are doing all right, something else happens. The agitator begins it’s work! WHAP, WHAP, WHAP! You are getting knocked about by something you cannot control. I will use circumstances to knock you about – to loosen up that dirt, and cause it to fully come to the surface, and cause all parts of your garment to be exposed to the water and detergent. How many of you now are being "agitated" by circumstances that you WANT to rebuke, but they don’t go away? Perhaps they are MY circumstances, put there to bring to the surface something in you that you have hidden even from yourself. Ask me, and I will tell you if it is so.
But agitation does not end the wash cycle. There is also the spin cycle. Here you will find that you feel that everything in you is being squeezed out! It is, child, it is! Everything OF you that is IN you must be squeezed out so that I can fill you with myself! Don’t fight the spin cycle, because after it is over, there will be so much room for ME in your life!
The washer is finished now, but is it all over? NO! Now you go into the DRYER! There you will be heated through by my FIRE, and that heat will finish the cleansing process. My fire, my heat, will purge and purify you and you will come through full and soft, and smelling OH, so NICE! A pleasing fragrance to me!
But notice in all of this one other thing. You never wash JUST ONE shirt in a washing machine – you wash many all at the same time! In my time frame, the time of individual cleansing is past! I am working now on cleansing my whole body, making my Bride clean, spotless, pure and sweet-smelling. So in your cleansing process, you will be flung against and flung into and spun against, others in my body who are also in this cleansing process. So be careful that as you are in your process, not to take your discomfort out on someone near you! I have put them there! I determine which "garments" are in which washing machine and in which dryer!
Just look to the end result, and gladly submit yourself to my cleansing. It is for your good. It is very much for YOUR good!
TRANSLOCATION EXPERIENCE
Wednesday night September 15, 1999
Last night, after going to bed, but before falling asleep, I saw myself worshipping the Lord, lifting my arms, and just worshipping. Then, I brought my hands down, and clasped them in front of my waist, and stood there, quietly. As I stood there, I began to see myself as if from a distance above, and I saw my spirit man leave my body, and go somewhere. I felt a pull as my spirit was leaving, and a rush as it flew off. My body stayed as it was.
Then, all of a sudden, I was approaching a village in a heavily forested or jungle type area. There was a hut, thatched roof to ground, with a small door opening in the hut. There was a light-skinned black woman sitting next to a fire ring outside the hut. I KNEW, somehow, that there was a daughter inside the hut who was very ill. As I was approaching, the Lord said to me, "I want you to talk to her for me."
I said, "How can I do that? I don’t know her language."
He said, "You just speak to her in tongues, and I’ll take care of the rest."
The woman, as I was approaching, was speaking and crying. She was speaking in her native language, but I could understand her in English. She was saying, "All of my gods have failed me. None of my gods have worked. My daughter is dying. None of my gods have done me any good. If there is a god who can help, I need you to save my daughter. IS there even a god who can help?"
About that time, my spirit person appeared in front of her, and I don’t know if I looked "real" to her or what, but she didn’t freak out at all. But I knew that it was just my spirit that was there – my body was still back at the other place. So I began to speak to her in tongues, and I could hear the sounds coming out of my mouth, and it was a completely different language than my usual prayer language. With one part of my mind I was understanding in English what I was saying in this other language, but I could hear the words that were actually coming out of my mouth in that place, and they were a different language. I knew that it was her language, because she was understanding what I was saying.
I started talking to her, and I told her, "The God of heaven and earth has sent me to let you know that He is real and that He loves you. Your other gods were made of wood and stone. God of heaven and earth MADE the wood and MADE the stone. God of heaven and earth is real."
The woman began to look interested and perplexed, and asked me, "Who is this God of heaven and earth?"
I just began to witness to her, and although I don’t remember everything I said to her, because it was a lengthy conversation, I do remember some particular things that were said. Near the beginning of the conversation, I explained to her about the one True God. In fact, that’s what I called Him when I was talking to her. I said, "God of heaven and earth is True God. God of heaven and earth loved people of world so much, even though people of earth had done bad and had not loved Him, that He sent gift of His own son, Jesus, the Anointed One, to live perfect life that we could not, to die for sins that we could not, to die for sicknesses that we could not, and after He died and was buried for three days, Father God raised Him up, and He is alive now and in heaven, and is going to come back."
And I said to her, "The one True God wants you to know that He is real and that He has sent me." And at that point, I just pointed over to the hut, and I said, "In the Name of Jesus, the Anointed One, the Son of the one True God, get up." And the girl, who was in the hut, and almost dead, got up, and she was well. And, it was funny, because at that point, then, the daughter was just sort of out of the picture. It wasn’t like there was a bunch of celebration going on or anything like that. It was just that her healing was sort of a point of reference or of power that God wanted to use, and after that, the girl just wasn’t really "in the picture" at all. I remember she was sitting next to her mother, but she did not speak or anything, she was just there.
I was talking again to the woman, and I was just explaining to her about God, and presenting to her the plan of salvation. I went back over some of the earlier things, and was explaining to her about the one True God, and I turned to her, and I said, "You are ______," and I called her name, and it was in this other language, and I said, "You are one, but you are also mother of _______, and you are daughter of ________, and you are wife of __________, " and I called all of the names in her language. She acknowledged all that, and I said, "So you are one, but you are also three." And she said, "Yes, I see."
I said, "God, the True God, is One, but is also three. True God is Father God, He is also Jesus, Anointed Son, sent by Father God, and He is also Holy Spirit of Jesus, sent by Jesus." And she said, "Yes, I understand."
I spoke to her something that was sort of like John 3:16, but it was worded differently, "The one True God loved the world, and the people in the world so much, that even though the people had done bad, he wanted them for Himself. And He sent His Anointed Son, Jesus to earth, to live as a man, to be perfect which we could not, to be free from sin, which we could not, and to die to take our sins away, which we could not, and to suffer to take our sickness away, which we could not. So the Son came to live right, and to die for us, and after three days in the grave, he rose, and will come back."
Then I said, "It is through the power of this man Jesus, Son of God, that your daughter was made well, because He wants you to know that He loves you. God sent His son Jesus as a gift and He will give you life in Him, He will be strong to you, He will be your one True God – all you have to do is believe that He sent His son, Jesus, to do these things for you. Do you want this gift?"
She said, "Yes, I do." And I led her in a prayer that basically followed what I had just told her. The language she spoke was a very simple one, with very few adjectives, and a basic structure. I told her to say what I say, then we both said, "Thank you for sending your anointed son, Jesus. Thank you that He died and took my sin. Thank you that he died and took my sickness and my poverty. Thank you that He took all bad and that He gave me all good. Thank you that now He is alive, and now because I believe what you did, I have life, I have prosperity, and health. And I believe that now I am born in spirit, and now I am your child." At this time she broke into this wonderful smile. You could tell she was changed.
At this point I went on and said, "God the Father sent gift, Jesus, His son. Jesus sent gift, Holy Spirit, to live in you. When you said yes to Jesus, Holy Spirit came and now lives inside of you, and will help you and will guide you." Then I said, "But Holy Spirit also give gift – power. Do you want this gift?" And she said, "Yes."
Then I said, "In the name of Jesus, you be immersed in Holy Spirit. Now open your mouth and thank God, but don’t do it in your language. Do it in another language that He will give you. Just like He has given me your language, He will give you another language." And she opened her mouth and started praising Him in another language, and received it real easy.
At that point, once she had received, I started leaving. I could feel a backwards pull, and began moving away backwards and upwards. The woman didn’t even miss me when I was going, she was so enthralled in what was happening to her.
As I was leaving, I looked down, and I saw her, and she was running from her hut down to a neighbor’s hut, and she was yelling, "Come and see, come and see what True God has done. Come and see. Let me tell you what True God has told me."
As I was being drawn away, I felt a concern inside myself that I was leaving, and the woman would not have any teaching, that she would need teaching. The Lord just spoke to me, and said, "Don’t worry about that. I am sending someone to that village very shortly, who will have the gospel available in their language. But instead of finding a completely pagan place, he will find a church already established, and the people would be ready for the teaching. But it was necessary to send you now, or her daughter would have died."
UNHOLY
ALLIANCES
by Bonita Chapman
Not all that looks holy to your eyes IS holy. Keep your eyes fixed on Me if you want to keep to the holy path.
There are some unholy alliances in my children’s lives that must be broken off. Though the mind finds many seemingly valid reasons for such alliances, that does not change the fact that they are unholy in My sight. Some of you are in alliance with those whom I spoke to you NOT to join up with. That which is unholy at inception is unholy. Decorating it won’t change the flavor of the batter it is made of.
You will know if an alliance you are in is unholy if you will check with My Spirit. He is the revealer of truth. If it doesn’t pass the test of My Spirit, get out of it. It doesn’t matter if the alliance is personal, business, or "spiritual". If it is unholy, it is draining you of much needed spiritual strength, and it is leading you down a wrong path.
You say, "But it seems so right!" I say, "TO WHOM?" Not to me. I want you pure and devoted, light and free. These unholy alliances keep you from being any of these. You may fake these things, or have a surface sense of them, but your inner man is cringing and crying. You are torn and divided, confused and prone to error because you are in these wrong alliances.
Once and for all, rid yourself of unholy alliances. Don’t look at the cost of getting out of them – look at the cost of staying IN them: less of My power, less of My anointing, less of My glory, less of My wisdom, and less of My provision. The cost is too high to maintain these alliances.
Your full alliance must be with Me and with those I place you with. Make your decision: less of Me, or more of Me? Put away these unholy alliances and choose more of Me.
I received this word of encouragement from the Lord for His people at the end of intercession tonight. It thrilled us, I hope it thrills you and gives you hope and joy.
