Releasing More Angelic Activity
Messengers of Harvest!!
Theresa Phillips
I was preparing to release a word in Michigan when The Lord suddenly visited me with an announcement ! Then on Sunday 11 July he came again as I was about to deliver a message…
“Angels On a Mission
Angles on Assignments
Angles Sent to help!
I am sending FRESH Help !!”
Hebrews 1 v 14
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? ( Help for these end times)
Matthew 13v 39 b…the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.( NIV)( Help to get it done. Yeah! )
Then he spoke again ..
“It is what I do best…. Love you to life!! I am your Present help in all things.” ( Psalms 46 v 1)
I send help, I send glory ( My tangible Presence) !! So now, yes now I am sending MORE help than I have ever sent before!
I am listening to the Bride and the Spirit say “Come”.
“I love to help you” says the Lord ! “I love to help you in ways that may seem foreign to you. Why? So I may expand your thought patterns inside the pages of my written word outside your comfort zone.. I desire to give you Blessings of Hope yes Blessings of Hope!
Their will be a changing of the Angelic Guard! Once again I am doing this” says the Lord
“I have Sent” Kingdom Come” the Angel of GREAT Harvest in the midst of Many, Many Camps .And there my kingdom is preached .(He has been here for the last 3 years).
Luke 16 v 16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (KJV)
Yes Kingdom Come(affectingly known as KC) is an angel of immense ability he moves with ease. He is a driving force to you in the below. He is able to touch principalities that have caused men to be discouraged ,Take a hold of your heart dear ones. Let me wipe away your fears.
Gird up the loins of your mind !(1st Peter 1v 13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;) ( KJV)
Yes gird. (Secure to yourself the very words I have spoken to you. Gird up your Mind Secure your mind Keep them ever before you. I am moving !
I am sending two names of Righteous Angels to the earth. They are being dispatched to help bring in the harvest. They are many in number, these who bear the two names .
They will work fast and furious to help you in the times ahead privately, corporately and then nationally.

Me and What I am doing.

By your Spirit let our eyes see our ears hear and our hands to be swift to obey all you ask of us .We need to Focus and we need to Impact the Earth WITH YOU!. Thank you for sending help!
Kingdom of Priests
by Caleb Brundidge
While in church a recently, the minister said, "Kingdom of Priests." God began to talk to me about it, and I felt He was saying to me, "I will have a Kingdom of priests."
After hearing the words, "I will have a Kingdom of priests," I began to do a word search in the Bible for "Kingdom of priests." I found the following verses:
Exodus 19:5-7 (NLT)"Now if you will obey Me and keep My covenant, you will be My own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to Me. And you will be My Kingdom of priests, My holy nation." This is the message you must give to the people of Israel. So Moses returned from the mountain and called together the elders of the people and told them everything the Lord had commanded him.
Revelation 1:5-6 (NLT)He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding His Blood for us. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God His Father. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen.
Revelation 5:9-10 (NLT) And they sang a new song with these words: "You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For You were slaughtered, and Your Blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And You have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth."
These Scriptures have been in my spirit now for weeks, so I decided to ask God what He wanted.
A Holy Nation Set Apart for His Use
I remember, about three years ago, the Spirit of God began to tell me to make a clarion call for the lions to come forth (radical dancing warriors of praise). I began to do that to the best of my ability. I would prophesy to different people I believed He said were part of the tribe of the Lion of Judah. I would go into times of intense praise because I knew Judah meant "praise"—actually, Yadah, which means "to confess." I really tried to make that call as loud and as often as I could.
But since I received this word about a Kingdom of priests, I have been on another level of thinking. When I read Exodus 19:6, I began to get a deeper meaning of this clarion call: He wants a holy nation set apart for His use. I began to see Jesus as our High Priest in the things He did here on the earth: like heal the sick, set the captives free, hang out with the poor and the people most people would not hang out with, like the Samaritan woman. So my picture of a high priest would be one who is set apart for God, is intimate with God, and hangs out on the streets with the poor and untouchables.
I also see David as one who carried this high priest call to the utmost. He was one who was passionate for his God and gave Him extravagant worship. He was sanctified for the use of God, yet still hung out with the people.
As a Kingdom of priests, I see us sacrificing our lives for the greater call. This call is to minister to God and His people. The more we sanctify ourselves for the call to fight for humanity, the more we will see our lives and others' lives changed into the life of Christ.
Ministers to Represent Christ to the World
To rule, you must gather the people together to a greater cause, to go and spread the King's agenda. That agenda: the Kingdom of Heaven, making disciples of all men.
Jesus prayed to the Father in John 17 that we become one, just as He and the Father are one. To me, that speaks of an intimate relationship between humanity and the Father. It speaks of worship. In worship, we become one with the object of our worship. He also asked that we become one with one another. This speaks of unity within the Body of Christ, even the part of the Body that has not yet come to the knowledge of Jesus.
Jesus says here that God the Father loves us just as much as He loves Himself, and He is the High Priest. Jesus prays for the people who will come to God through our words; He also prays to "Sanctify them by Your truth." As I read this, I see us as priests who minister to God through intimate relationship and then minister to His people through intimate relationship with each other. We must be the ministers that represent Christ to the world.
Through us sanctifying our lives, we will draw the world to God. Then we will become a Kingdom of priests serving God and then His people.

Align Your Vision and Stay Plugged In—Secrets to Remaining Relevant in a Changing World
Matt Sorger:
God has given the Church a mandate to reach the world with His power and love. In order to do this, we must remain relevant in "reaching the emerging generation."
I want to share a prophetic exhortation from the Lord with you. In order to remain relevant there are two important spiritual issues we need to talk about. This goes way beyond how we look and what means we use to get the Gospel message out. It touches our core values as Believers. One thing I have noticed the Holy Spirit doing in His Church is "readjusting and refocusing our vision." Leaders are realizing that if the Church is to continue to grow and be healthy, our vision cannot only be inward but it must be outward as well.
Shifting Your Vision
A strong healthy Church will be focused on its people. It will be discipling, teaching, healing, restoring and equipping God's people to be all they can be. However, there is a goal in mind. The purpose of building a strong Church is not just to fill a bunch of seats and keep a building filled each week. The purpose of ministering to the Body of Christ is that the Church can then go and reach the world. If we lose our outward vision, the Church will cease from being relevant to the world around us.
God is realigning our vision. Churches are transitioning. And it all starts with vision—the vision of the people and the vision of the leaders. The goal should not be just to fill a building for the sake of having a lot of people in church. The goal should be: Let's impact as many people as possible within the four walls of the Church so that we can become a Church without walls and transform our society, our communities and the world in which we live.
We are called by God so that we can be sent by God. But no one will be sent unless we open our eyes to see the vast opportunities that lie before us.
Meeting the Real Needs of Real People
We will remain relevant as our vision moves outward. We need to take stock and ask ourselves a few questions. Are we seeing new people each week invited by friends into our church services? Are people getting saved each week in our churches? Are we properly teaching and discipling these new Believers? But more than what we see in church on Sunday, are people being mobilized to make evangelism and sharing their faith a simple part of their daily lives?
It is so easy to become self-absorbed to the point that our time, attention and thoughts are consumed with things that are happening in our own lives. Ministry is not always easy or convenient. Sharing a message from God's heart or reaching out and touching someone's life with the love of God will not always happen when you are having a good day. There will be times when you feel like being alone. Or times when you don't feel like talking to anyone. It may just be during those times that God will use you the most to advance His Kingdom in someone else's life. To be relevant, we have to remain selfless. The more self-absorbed we are, the less relevant and effective we will be.
Even Jesus experienced this. In Matthew 14:10-16 Jesus just discovered that His cousin John the Baptist was beheaded. He went to a solitary place to be alone. But the crowds followed Him. They needed healing and food. Jesus could have remained focused on His own pain and need. But instead, He got His focus on the people and the ones God sent Him to reach. Jesus was very relevant that day. Not only did He heal all the sick, but He fed all the hungry. To be relevant we must reach the real needs of real people.
Stay Plugged In—It's a Supernatural Generation
That brings me to another point. To be relevant, we can never move away from the power of God. There is a large movement in the Church today that is seeking to remove any display of God's power from our church meetings so we don't offend anyone. But the reality is, without God's power people cannot be transformed or brought into the place God has destined them to be. There have been wonderful movements throughout Church history that have been filled with both the powerful preaching and teaching of God's Word, as well the freedom and power of the Holy Spirit. Not only did people learn the Word of God, but they also encountered and experienced God in supernatural ways.
The sad reality is many in the Church have moved away from allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to move because they are afraid of losing people from their church. Have we become so refined and dignified that we have shut the doors on the Holy Spirit? As a result, things may look good on the surface, but underneath, people are sitting in church meetings week after week with the same bondages they have had for years because there hasn't been anointing and power to break the yoke.
If the Church is to stay relevant to a supernatural generation, we must once again embrace all that the Holy Spirit longs to do in God's people. We must give the Holy Spirit room to move and minister to the deep needs in people's lives. This generation has a very supernatural mindset. Just look at the movies being released from Hollywood.
If we don't meet this need by stepping into the flow of the supernatural power of God, we can possibly lose a generation. This younger generation is hungry for the real thing. They want to experience the power of God in their lives. That will only happen as we make the choice to stay relevant, not just in our presentation and style, but by looking outward in our vision to the world and by staying connected to the power Source.
As God is free to move in His presence and power, we will remain relevant in reaching this generation for Christ.

Changing of the Guards
Francis Lloyd
footprints@dailygoldenfootprints.com
Approximately four years ago, the Lord began to speak to me about “A Changing of the Guards.” I saw in the spirit the guards who day after day guard Buckingham Palace. They have guards assigned there who are not distracted by the tourists who pass them by. Their minds are totally on their job.
The Lord gave me the scriptures found in (Isa 62:6) I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence. And in (Jer 6:17)Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, we will not hearken.
In our armies, there are those assigned to guard duty. If you are caught sleeping on the job when you have guard duty, it is a very serious office. In times of war you can even be shot for it. The armies must have some rest at times, but they must have someone standing on guard duty. They will sound the alarm when the enemy comes around.
God has His guardsmen forever standing in faith interceding and sounding the alarm when there is a battle before them. He has called many leaders each generation to be the guardsman who will shout to God’s people in warning when there is a battle before them. God’s guardsmen are leaders in His Church. They have given their lives to the fivefold ministry. Some are officers such as Sergeants, Lieutenants, etc. He raises up a few Generals in every generation. We have had some great Generals in this present generation. We have heard for the past four to five years of many great saints of the Lord graduating on into glory. There are just a few more that will graduate soon. The Lord has been telling me that they represent a changing of the guards in the body of Christ. It is not that they did anything wrong, their time is just over. The Lord is raising up some new Generals. He is changing the guards in His Church.
We saw Oral Roberts go home a few short months ago. One of the next ones will be Billy Graham. Some have been big name televangelists and some were not so well known here on earth, but they have big names in heaven.
The Lord showed me that some of those replacing the great generals are not even much younger than those who went home, but they will be used for a period of time before they go home. These are people who have worked faithfully for many years in God’s kingdom. There ministries did not grow to the mega churches as they had thought it would if they were successful. However their churches have saved thousands through the years and raised up many leaders for today’s church.
God is raising up officers in this army who were barely heard of ten years ago. He is the one who raises up and He is the one who puts down. Promotion belongs to the Lord. (Psa 75:6) For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. (Psa 75:7) But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Are you prepared for this changing of the guards? This represents a change in seasons. I believe it signifies the last of the last days. Throughout the Word of God, famines came upon the land when the majority of the people made wrong choices. We were clearly instructed that if we choose to follow Christ, then the blessings of God will overtake us. And yet many times in history, they did not follow the Word of the Lord and the curses overtook them. God’s people who were in obedience were taken care of. Those not in obedience lived in famine and many died. It is the same today. If you will follow the Lord, He will help you in famine and keep you just as He did those who were obedient throughout His Word. I believe that they were teachings of faith for us today. God has not changed. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He promised to one, He has promised to all who will obey His word.
Would you like to be a part of this new season at the changing of the guards? Follow His commandments. During a financial famine as we are experiencing right now in the world, I would be sure to handle my finances God’s way particularly right now. This is not the time to skip your tithes, your offerings or your gifts to the Lord. Stick to God’s economics. They will work for you every time.
Faith: The Journey of Self Discovery
by Martin Schmaltz
"Faith faith faith, just a little bit of faith. You don't need a whole lot, just use what you've Got. " Who ever wrote the lyrics to this song: I wonder if they really listened to what they were saying? It seems that they are implying that faith is this magical, mystical elixir that just "a little dab will do ya!" I don't know, maybe they have a better understanding, but this is not the faith that I see in the word.
The faith I read of is something that takes us on a process of discovery; an illumination into our innermost fears and the awesomeness of a loving God.
I Can Use You
The initiation of this faith process is many times an exciting one. God speaks to us or "calls" us to some "thing." We rejoice that He desires to use us, Wow! What the Lord may not tell us at that moment or we fail to hear is something like this: "I can use you, but not where and how you are right now, you need to leave this place." The calling is to leave what and where we are and follow Him to another place. Sounds good until we walk a few miles on this journey.
This faith journey does not take us on the well-traveled expressways; but the meandering lonely dirt roads of life are where we find ourselves. And I might add without a road map! Oh don't get me wrong, the Lord knows the way, he just doesn't show us.
It is on these isolated back roads, by ourselves, that we begin to discover what is in us. This is where WE (the self) begin to wrestle with our FAITH. You see, faith is not some emotional high or repeating to yourself how much you believe God is able to …… (fill in whatever the situation may be). Faith is the belief, trust and COURAGE to ACT or CONTINUE the journey even when the road is rough, desolate or even none existent (at least to us).
Leave Everything Familiar to You
I think of individuals who have traveled this journey, like Abram. God spoke to him - woohoo! But what did he say? Leave - your family, friends, and country - everything familiar to you. I can imagine a possible dialog like the following. "Where am I going Lord?" "Don't worry, I will show you." "But how will I know where to go?" "Just start walking." "How will I know when I get there?" "Just start walking." "But God?" "If you believe me, just start walking." So we see Abram demonstrated his faith by action - he took a literal step of faith.
It was on this journey of faith; we see a revelation of what was in Abram. Twice he lied about his relationship with his wife - "she's my sister." Well, at least it was a half-truth - justification. In a time of weakness he followed Sarai's advice and took matters into his own hand: we know the long-term affects of that. Yet in the end, God fulfilled His word and Abraham received his promise.
Joseph is another example. A young boy with a dream from God. Yet his faith journey was one of literal bondage. Ps 105: 17-19 gives insight into what God was doing in him during this process. Joseph revealed his understanding of God's plans when he told brothers: "what you meant for my harm God meant for my good."
So faith is a journey of discovery: it is doing when we don't see the end, it is stepping when we don't see the path, it is continuing when we don't know the way. Faith is not so much about what I believe; it is about what I do.
