OUR OUTRAGEOUS GOD
I AM GOD – the only God, and I am pulling out all the stops. I am breaking all the rules that man has made for Me. They do not and will not bind Me. I am breaking all the barriers that man has placed around Me. No longer can anyone say, "God doesn’t reveal Himself that way," for I WILL and I DO. No more will any be able to box Me in or tie Me down. The time is here and the place is in readiness, and My arm is stretching out. Look and see, and be prepared for the most outlandish outworkings of My grace and love. I will not be undermined. I will never be overwhelmed. I am in full control and I am exercising My dominion. The excitement is building. Look for the glory. Look for the unusual, look for the OUTRAGEOUS, OUTLANDISH, OVERWHELMING love of your God to overtake you.
A WHOLE GENERATION
11-15-00 – Bonita Chapman
Last night I was watching a show about the Lumpur monkey. But when the new male leader began to kill all the babies born to his predecessor, I had to turn it off. During the night, I awoke, and that show came to mind. I asked the Lord, "I don’t understand. Why does a whole generation have to die to satisfy that male’s desires?" The Lord didn’t answer that, but instead He said this:
A whole generation is doomed to death if Satan has his way. Just like that monkey, he is enraged to think that any children on this earth would belong to anyone but himself. He would rather kill off a whole generation than allow My Spirit to birth them into My kingdom. He is busy even now working at that very thing. Never let your guard down to think that he is relenting. He has no love in him, and his only desire is to rule and control what he knows has truly already been taken from him. To that end, he will destroy and kill rather than let Me have what is truly Mine. He knows better than most of My church that this is the generation that will run to Me in droves, and upon whom I will pour out My Spirit in a measure never before seen. He is enraged at this, and will do everything in is power to prevent it from occurring.
Make sure you keep your loved ones enclosed in your circle of protective prayer, and reach out in prayer to enclose those whom you do not even know. I am doing My work whether the enemy likes it or not, but to a great degree, it is within YOUR power to determine how much havoc he plays with this marked generation. What will be your response? Will you pray and intercede for them? Will you speak words of faith and deliverance? Do not allow this ‘monkey’ Satan, to kill off this generation as he wishes. Pray and intercede and I will stretch out My hand to thwart his every move, and turn his hateful desires back on himself.
I am the God of Love. My desire is to bless, not to kill. Be My partner in this time of battle. Don’t let your defenses down. Stay alert and pray. Always PRAY.
Violent Love: A Third Day Proclamation
02-05-01 - Debra Westbrook
God saw fit to reveal through Hosea 6:1-3 a clear revelation of the Third Day. It would be wise for us to look at the life of Hosea to bring forth a prophetic declaration for these times.
The Third Day Church cannot walk in theory. Like Hosea pursuing Gomer, we are going into the darkness, back into the dregs of society, calling people forth from dead religion unto the love of Jesus Christ. For it is in the darkness that the light of violent love is unquenched to touch and transform people’s lives.
This will not be a new movement that passes and fades but will be a living, breathing organism of the Body of Christ that will feel, breathe, weep, war, and touch people’s lives. We will not be hidden behind form or structure but will be hidden in Christ Jesus. The love of Jesus will course through our veins, overflowing from our lives, so that we will, as Hosea did, pursue Gomer at no thought to our lives or at no cost to upholding our reputation, honor, or image.
We are not out to impress the religious structure but to please the heart of God. The religious system will label us as fanatical, lunatics, rebels, yet we know different. We see different. We live and breathe for the greater cause of Christ Jesus to be displayed in and through our lives. We forsake all to follow Him wherever He leads us- down dark alleys or into luxurious boardrooms. It makes no difference to us for we are uncompromised in a firm conviction of our love for our Savior, Jesus.
We will invade the marketplace with God’s glory. We will impact and pursue those like Gomer, trapped within the confines of a church system that has forced God’s people to prostitute themselves, seeking to please man rather than God. Who are we? We are simply lovers of Jesus, bondservants of the Most High, filled with violent love that compels us forward into the darkness with the light of Jesus.
Violent love will melt men’s hearts that have grown hardened in these days by dead religion. Violent love puts violent faith into action. Violent love that is unrelenting in its pursuit to obey God at all costs to personal comfort. As Hosea, we must be relentless in our pursuit of Gomer for violent love has no time span, no borders, no boundaries. It is eternal. How wide and how deep is the love of Christ. It is beyond measure. Who can fathom its depth or its goodness to each of us? This violent love will fill a Third Day people.
Rivers of violent love will pour forth from our inner man, overflowing the banks of our comfortability and our understanding. This will flow into people’s lives that we encounter day by day. Violent love possesses the heart of lost and backslidden humanity with the overwhelming revelation of a great salvation. For violent love was never intended to be kept within the confines of church structure but to be proved and found true along the highways and byways of humanity. As it flowed through the Son as He walked among the people, so it will flow through each of us who are willing to put a Third Day theory into action.
Did not Jesus suffer violence to pour forth His love unto mankind? Should not we do the same? The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Well, the kingdom is within us. We are waiting for a greater revelation to pour through our lives. We must be violent in our pursuit of conforming to the image of Jesus Christ. Our lives must first suffer violence from the kingdom within, as King Jesus calls us to perfect obedience to His Lordship over our lives. This causes a violent reaction of the cutting away of our flesh, our rebellion, and our pride. As we decrease the kingdom will advance with a violent force – faith and love. Violent love is waiting to overwhelm each of us first in order for it to flow through our spirit, unhindered and unobstructed by our flesh. The cross of Christ will always be seared upon our hearts -violent love accompanied by violent faith to obtain resurrection power in our lives.
When violent love is perfected within our lives through humility, submission and obedience then it will be perfected through each of us both individually and corporately. We will destroy the enemy’s strongholds over lives and over nations. We will advance into the darkness to tear down the enemy’s work and lay claim to God’s greatest and most precious commodity, people.
Make yourself ready this day.
May GOD our FATHER bless you all in JESUS name i pray for you sincerely and wholy
