So, what are we searching? David said, "search me O Lord and see if there be any unclean thing in me." Then, Paul says that if there be anything hidden that He will reveal even this to us.
This is a perfect time for you to begin searching. Why? you might ask. He desires to do something in us, through us, and for us that we have never experienced before. For example: got any old issues that haven't been settled yet? I'm sure most of us, if we are honest with ourselves and with God, we could say a definite "yes" to this question.
How about that daughter that you have been angry with for so long? Just thinking about that situation causes you to foam at the mouth and say a few choise words.
What do I do? you might ask. I'm glad you did.
Humbly present yourself before the Lord Jesus Christ and tell Him, "Lord, I really do have this issue about____?______ and I recognize I should not feel this way and that it is not pleasing to you." Come on now!!! Be honest! Don't try to put the blame on your daughter, or spouse, or friend, or fellow employee, or whatever your situation may be! You are the one who is angry, holding unforgiveness, bitterness, maybe even malice. So, admit it, to Him. Simply ask Him to forgive you and help you deal with it. Wait for a few minutes, quietly, uninterrupted. Then, choose to forgive. Refuse bitterness, anger, hatred, feelings of injustice when it begins to rise up in you. CHOOSE TO FORGIVE!!!!
Choose to have a "right spirit within you." Take your will, your free choice and choose to walk uprightly before the Lord. He will honor your choice.
What are you doing? You are obeying His Word. When we obey His word, do what He says do: be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only, He will bless far above what we can even imagine.
The big thing, immediately, you will feel lighter. You will feel received of Him, accepted of Him. You will feel, relieved.
Search us O Lord and see if there be any unclean thing in us. Without this, we cannot move forward into the plans that You have for us

Who Will Stand?
Changes are coming swiftly. Don't worry. You will know the times and the season. They will not take you by surprise. I am equipping you for the battle. The battle is Mine. To him that has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.
The whole face of the church will change, moving from personal structured ideas to My own agenda. Men and women whom I have called and chosen will stand in their rightful places. Boldness greater than that of Elijah shall be upon them. These will have My heart and will act upon My word. And the government will be upon their shoulders, governing by My own authority and man will be unable to quinch the beating of My drums. These all will speak the same things--the voice of many waters, yet they are ONE VOICE in the earth.
The ears of the hungry are opened to hear what I say, rising out of the dungeons and taking on the armour of God, for I have taught them how to be effective warriors and victors for Me.
Yes, you will see many changes as these arise from out of the graves that have been digged for them. Yes, they will arise, the Army of the Lord, in the strength of My own Arm. They have cried out to Me, and I have heard them. They seek not their own, but have lost themselves in Me.
So, to those who have stood afar and laughed at these, I tell you to laugh on!! for it is I Who have raised them up our of their graves, out of their dungeons, out of the dark holes that have been digged for them and I have equipped them for such a time as this. And you said, "shall these dry bones live?" Watch and see. I will laugh at your calamity.
Behold, I will shake the dry leaf from the tree and prune it. If the branch has no life in it, I will cut it off and it will be consumed by My fire, says the Lord.

Houses of Control
Houses of Control
by Jeannie Brown on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 2:31pm
Sometimes we really don't NEED confirmation about TRUTH, when we know the TRUTH.
What I am finding at this time is that the Lord will cause some to step into the arena of "control" to reveal their true intent, or should I say, "heart", revealing where their heart is.
The gifts of the Spirit were not given to us to "hide." They were given to be a blessing: to comfort, edify, exhort. To have to "present your words before the leadership" prior to speaking them or writing them so that they may be "judged" before presenting for ALL to hear read is simply a farce. There is no biblical support for this behavior.
One question recently presented to me is: what provokes you? This provokes me!!!!! It's enough to see it in the churches, but more than enough to see it on facebook. I really thought many had grown past that "control" issue.
We are workers together with Christ. No where in the scripture does it tell us to present our word that we receive from the Lord to a private screening before delivering it!!!! And, it is time that we speak out concerning these issues, pulling down these strongholds. We will never be free, loosed, if the TRUTH is not spoken clearly. The Word of TRUTH is the only thing that will destroy the yokes that bind the gifts and callings of God. This is the reason the gifted do not stay in many of the churches: they are not free to function in the gifts given to them by the Holy Ghost.
So, yes, it is time to come out fo the cave and speak out. Speak loudly, according to His Word. He will confirm His Word with signs and wonders following them that believe. Will it bring persecution??? Yes!!! But we know already to expect that. But He already told us, "blessed are you that are persecuted for My Name's sakes."
We should no longer tolerate this kind of behavior. When God speaks, say it. If they do not receive it, God will deal according to His great delight. It is His desire that the sleeping giant arise: His Church, that is called by His name.
Arise, arise out of your sleep. Do not stay in your state of slumber, but arise, arise to the heights in which I have delcared are yours to obtain. Take your rightful place, the place that I have called you to.

HORSES & CHARIOTS OF FIRE
HORSES & CHARIOTS OF FIRE
by Jeannie Brown on Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 12:25am
When I choose a people, I equip them. They are tried in the fire as though some strange thing happened unto them because the trying of their faith is much more precious than fine gold. They have been scourged, beaten, trodden under foot, mocked. Their dreams have been shattered. They are broken vessels, robbed, experienced destruction unexplained, stumbling, falling, bruised. The jaws of the lions have almost devoured them; they too have been wounded in the house of their friends, even as I.
So they turn to Me. They cannot lean upon the arm of flesh, upon their own understanding. They search Me out and find Me and learn of Me in the pages of My Book. I become their comforter, their friend, their elder brother, their mother, their father. They come to trust Me and be fully persuaded that I am come to bring them life and life more abundantly.
I pick them up. I give to them of all My good treasure. I embrace them. I am jealous over them. I wash them with the washing of the water by the Word, removing all the debris. I pick up their broken pieces, making them whole and entire, wanting nothing, binding up their wounds and applying My precious ointments, mixing it with aloes, with cinnamon, and myrrh, giving off sweet odors.
These have in turn embraced Me, receiving the Truth of My covenant. I have an everlasting investment in these. You see, these are My troops!! They have chosen to run the race that is set before them and set their faces like flint toward Me. These are My chariots of fire!! They hear My voice and a stranger they will not follow. They have come to know their Commander-in-Chief!! I have refined them in the fire. I have secured them with by the covenant of My testament. They are redeemed by the word of their testimony and by the Blood of the Lamb. They are bone of My bone, and flesh of My flesh! I have poured My ways, My character, My hope, My vision into them.
Before them a fire devours; behind them a flame burns. They seek not their own. Their appearance is as horses and as horsemen, skilled horsemen they shall run. A strong people; men of war. When they call, I answer them and deliver speedilly. They are accompanied by such a great cloud of witnesses!! Who can forebear them?
You cannot at this time comprehend them. I delcare to you, these are called by My name. They have pressed their way into where I am. I have given to them a sickle for the harvest and I guide them with Mine own eye, for they see even as I see. They have received Me even as I am.
These are My chariots of fire; My horsemen!! Surely you do not think that I would ignore these whose hearts pant after Me as the hart does after the water courses??!!!!

Open Vision of the River of Life
A Vision of the River of Life and Fruit (A Word of the Lord to the Church)
by Sarah Horton Cox on Friday, December 10, 2010 at 9:38am
"Let those who have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to you..."
As many of you already know, the Lord grants me visions, revelations and dreams in the Spirit. The Word of God exhorts believers to test every spirit to see if it is from God. Read about this vision I had a few days ago, and judge it against the Holy Scriptures, and if it bears witness with the Spirit of the Lord living in you. I am submitting this word of the Lord to the body for rightful judging.
A few days ago, as I went about my daily business, all of a sudden, my spiritual eyes were opened and I was standing in the midst of a great desert landscape. It looked to me as a VERY dry and cracked riverbed, except I could not see the sides of the riverbed, and so it looked as though it was a vast expanse of dry, deeply cracked ground. It was clearly without any drop of moisture.
As I stood and looked out upon this expanse of drought-filled land, a staff, measuring 6-7 feet in height, suddenly appeared in the center of the expanse above the ground. Without warning, it was shoved by an unseen force into the ground with great strength. As soon as the staff entered the deep crack in the dry soil, a massive flow of clear blue water came flowing forth from that exact point in the ground. The River of Life started right there, coming up from beneath. In seconds, there was a wide River with this crystal clear blue water running downward from that point. The waters were not above that exact spot, but only going forth from there.
As I looked upon the River of Life with awe and wonder, suddenly two large baskets appeared above that point in the River, right at the starting point of the flow of water. As they poured out, various kinds of fruit flowed down the River, filling it with fruit from bank to bank. The flow of fruit was continuous and without end. As I looked closer, I realized that these fruits were not earthly fruits, although many of them resembled apples, pears, oranges, and other red fruits I have seen before, I suddenly knew they were not the fruits of this earth I have seen before. They were heavenly fruit flowing down the River of Life. And at once, as I gazed upon this in wonder, the vision ended.
I asked the Lord what I had seen in the vision and He said that the church has been walking through a very dry and barren season, without drops of Living Water, almost to the point that death was sure to come upon the land. There was no foliage, no signs of life, only DEEP cracks everywhere.
All at once, the Spirit of the Lord came upon the land and drove His staff into the ground, and out poured the Living Water, the River of Life, flowing forth from that point forward. It is a continuous flow of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, and from that point forth, there will be an enormous flow of fruitfulness within the body of Christ. The fruit that will be flowing down the River of Life is not earthly fruit, but spiritual fruit from heaven. This is the season the Church is entering. A season of abundance and fruitfulness and a great outpouring of God's Spirit after a "suddenly" comes upon the Church. The staff represents the "suddenly" that is coming! It marks the point at which the Church will move forth in the power of the Spirit of God, and will never turn back to her former and desolate ways.
As I prayed about this vision, the Lord told me to share this vision with everyone who has ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the Church. He told me to share it with all I could find on Facebook who believed and would listen to Him. This Word is for His children to be comforted and exhorted to greater things being done in Him! If you find this word to be authentic and the Spirit of the Lord within you bears witness, please share it with as many people as possible. This is what the LORD has said to me today.
May God bless you with grace and peace in Jesus' name today as you diligently seek His face!
Your sister in Christ,
Sarah
