Deut. 28:7 “The Lord will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee: they shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways.”
When God has a handmaiden so faithful to Him that she says, “Entreat me not to leave Thee nor from following after Thee. Whither Thou goest, I will go.” Then God moves upon a Boaz and He says, “This one seems to be gleaning in My field. Leave handfuls on purpose.” (Ruth 1:16, 2:15–16 )
And so she gleans in the fields wanting to get the golden grains because she esteems them so precious to her survival. She takes that living seed to grind and make the bread that will feed her and those dependent upon her.
These messages are living bread, they are the handfuls on purpose. Many will come and they will share the bread of those that say, “God spoke so much. All we can do is glean out the heart and say, ‘This is what moved us. This is what God spoke to us. This was the seed that was planted that God purposed would bring forth thirty, sixty, or a hundred fold. These messages uprooted the thorns, frightened away the birds that would steal the Word, and will shield us from the explosion that would cause His Word to wither in the days to come.
These are the words for His perfect victory to be attained, to obtain the keys to open for all of us the Kingdom.
“The victory is possessing by faith what is already yours by God’s promises and provisions.”
THE LORD HAS GIVEN A LIVING WORD, BUT WHO HAS HEARD IT?
The churches that come out of this move of God as well as individuals are stalemated when they fail to heed the Word that is coming in a progressive, unfolding revelation. How can we understand what God will do when we’ve not listened to the Word that tells us what He’s doing? Confusion results from facing circumstances and battles without understanding the Word God is giving. It is absolutely essential that you hear the Living Word.
There will be none of you that will move into the victories of the Kingdom—nor will you possess your “Canaan” if you have neglected the word God is progressively giving. Many of the people are going to wander lost because they did not have the Word to explain what God was doing to them and for them.
Some of you should go back and get the messages I have written (on my website) that are essential to where we should be right now. Unless you have this revelation from the Lord you’re not going to take the next steps in a walk with God.
The Word and these days of transformation has been the Lord standing before us with a drawn sword. And believe me, we will be conquerors or we will be casualties.
I lay the responsibility right at the feet of the pastors. If they have not led their people on step by step in this Word that’s been coming, their people are going to be inevitably settled at a lesser level.
There are a number of churches that have not been listening to the Living Word. The local diet preached in their churches is not enough to prepare you for the Kingdom. Unless you have these messages I have written, because I am a door opener you’re going to stand outside of the experiences you should be having. Only the door-opener Word will open the door for you to move on.
This local focus or self-centeredness of each local church has to give way to an utter abandonment to the Kingdom apostleship that opens the door for the people to go in. The open door is not a circumstance; the open door is a relationship that can hear the Word of the Lord, be transformed by it, and move into it.
I want you thoroughly filled with the Living Word that is coming until you live and you think and you move and you act and you war according to the Spirit, by the Word that is coming.
To the pastor that feels that he must be self-sufficient, let me give you this one word: Your place will not be threatened, it will be enhanced by the use of the Living Word. Churches are built by the living word that is coming forth in this hour.” They are not going to be built any other way.
