JUST KEEP GOING
A couple of days ago I was thinking about a friend who I haven’t seen in a few months. As soon as she came to my mind I felt that the Lord had a word for her to “Just Keep Going”. I didn’t know what was happening in her personal life. I texted her and she replied saying that she was going through the most difficult time of her life. I was devastated when I heard what she had to say. She has been through horrendous battles in the past few years just as I have. We are both warriors and I know that we will come out victorious in the months ahead.
For those of you who are also going through tough battles I want to encourage you to “Just keep going”. In the book of John chapter six, Jesus fed five thousand people by supernaturally multiplying five loaves of bread and two small fish. When his disciples were in a boat, he walked to them on the water after they had been rowing awhile. As soon as he got into the boat they were “instantly” on the other side. They had seen all these miracles but when he spoke about eating his flesh and drinking his blood, the religious crowds became furious. Many of his own disciples left him saying: “this is a hard teaching, who could understand it”? But then he turned to his twelve disciples and asked them: “Do you want to leave also?” Simon Peter answered “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Some of you have also thought about walking away from the Lord but then you remembered that He is your creator and there is nothing to turn back to. No matter what battle you are facing, just keep going no matter how difficult things get. Then the Lord showed me a scripture in Psalms 89. The Lord was speaking to David and he is speaking the same thing over you. He has anointed you with His holy oil. You shall be established in his hand. His arm will strengthen you. The enemy will not outwit you, nor the son of wickedness afflict you. He will beat down your foes before your face, and plague those who hate you. His faithfulness and His mercy will be with you and in His name your horn shall be exalted. (Psalm 89:20-24)
Psalms 89:20-24
I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him, With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him. “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted.
Psalm 144:1
"Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle."
John 6:66-69
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

EXTREME CHRISTIANITY
We are living in extreme times as the world is living in extreme behavior, and now is the time for the body of Christ to rise up and come out of passive and lukewarm Christianity. Throughout the bible we read about radical men and women who were used mightily by God. Joseph was sold as a slave, tested and tried but stood steadfast until the word of the Lord came to pass. Pharaoh assigned him to be Vizier which is the highest official in Ancient Egypt. (Psalm 105:19) Moses parted the Red Sea with a rod and the Israelites crossed over on dry ground but Pharoah and his army drowned as they tried to pursue them. (Exodus12:37–38) The total of Israelites who crossed over were 603,550 men plus women and children (Numbers 1:46)
David killed a lion and a bear with his bare hands and then killed Goliath with a sling and a stone. David raised up a mighty army who were so extreme that their faces were as the faces of lions and they were swift as gazelles on the mountains (1 Chronicles 12:8) Elijah outran Ahab’s chariots, and also called down fire from heaven and the prophets of Baal’s sacrifices were consumed. He was fed by ravens, raised the dead and passed his mantle to Elisha who then had a double portion anointing. (1 Kings 13:38) When Samson was tied up and handed over to the Philistines the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and the ropes on his hands were burned up. He then killed 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. (Judges 15:14-15)
Joshua prayed to the Lord to help him win the battle against the Amorites. He commanded the sun to be still and it obeyed and they had daylight for twenty four hours. The Amorites were then defeated and Israel got the victory. (Joshua 10:13). Daniels friends Shadrach Meshach and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace and came out alive but the men who threw him in were killed by the fire. (Daniel 3:19-26). Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den and came out unharmed. (Daniel 6:20) The apostle Paul was beaten with rods, he was shipwrecked, and thrown in jail. The Lord sent an angel and opened the prison doors. He performed countless miracles and even raised the dead. (Acts 20:9-10)
The Lord is looking for radical believers with extreme faith who are adamant and uncompromising to do great exploits in our day. He is looking for believers who dare to take Him at his word. They will not go in their own strength but in the anointing and authority that has been assigned to them through Jesus. They will be used to demonstrate the Kingdom of God with miracles, signs and wonders following. Jesus said “Greater works than these will you do because I go to my father. He also said “In my name you will cast out demons, speak with new tongues; take up serpents; and if you drink anything deadly, it will by no means harm you; you will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
The Lord is looking for those who are not afraid to go into the enemies’ camp and places where others fear to go.They are radical and have no hidden agendas but to do Gods will. They have been chosen to deliver others from the very things that they were set free from, and nothing will derail them from their mission.
He is looking for those who will release His glory wherever they go. They are not ashamed of the gospel and they will carry His word to the nations. They will stand strong in the face of adversity and never back down from what they believe. They certainly are peculiar people and have been chosen for a particular assignment. They will carry His anointing into the highways and the byways because they have become ablaze with his glory. He has made them to be a flame of fire to carry his word to the world. They are those who stand in the face of opposition and will not be afraid to go forth in his power. They are tenacious in faith and not lax in prayer and intercession. They are called to impart what the Lord has given to them. Their expectations are far above human reasoning.
Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
1 Chronicles 12:8
Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:
John 14:12-14
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

SANCTIFY YOURSELVES, FOR TOMORROW THE LORD
WILL DO WONDERS AMONG YOU
History tells us about revivalists such as AA Alan, Smiths Wigglesworth, John G Lake, John Alexander Dowie, William Brenham, William Seymour, Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathryn Kuhlman, Maria Woodworth Etter, Charles Finney, Even Roberts, Jack Coe, and many other men and women who God used in ministries of miracles, signs and wonders. In their revival meetings people were healed of terminal diseases, the blind received their sight, the crippled walked and even paralyzed people were healed. In Maria Woodworth Etter’s day most churches didn’t allow women to be ministers. In her meetings people used to go into trances and visions for hours. The anointing of God was even felt for miles away and people were healed in their homes. John G Lake had healing rooms in Spokane Washington where thousands of miracles were documented each year. In and of themselves they could do nothing, but all of these miracles were done through the Holy Spirit in Jesus name because they knew their authority and carried His anointing.
The other night I was reading my bible and the Holy Spirit quickened the scripture to me from Joshua 3:5 And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” The next morning after I read that scripture again, I turned on a live broadcast of a church that I used to attend. As soon as I turned it on the new pastor was quoting that same exact scripture. The Lord said to me; Sanctify yourselves, I am about to do wonders among you again.
In the book of Exodus, every time the Lord was going to move mightily among the people He told Moses to tell the people to sanctify themselves. He visited him at the burning bush, the encounter with Pharoah and the ten plagues, Moses parted the Red Sea and millions of the Israelites went through on dry land, but his enemy Pharaoh and his army drowned as they tried to pursue them. After Moses died, the Lord said to Joshua " no man will be able to stand against you, as I was with Moses, I will be with you". The Lord promised to give Joshua the land that he promised Moses. He told Joshua three times in chapter one “ Be strong and very courageous” . The book of Joshua goes on to say how they crossed the Jordan with the ark of the covenant and they went through on dry ground with the priests carrying the ark leading them.
Every time the Lord was about to do great things He told the people to sanctify themselves. The Lord is about to move among us again in a mighty way. We have also been called to ministries of miracles, signs and wonders.
The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in My authority and power and demonstrate My kingdom on this earth. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You are not mere men and women, but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation who will release others out of the kingdom of darkness into My marvelous light. Sanctify yourselves and allow Me to work in you. This is the day that My power will be known in the earth. This is the divine plan and purpose that I have for you in this season says the Lord.
Joshua 1:5
And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”
Joshua 1:8
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
1 John 2:6
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

SUBMITTED TO THE CALL
The Lord says I am calling the men and the woman who are mature in their faith to teach, nurture and be mentor's to the younger ones. I am calling those of you who know Me, know My ways and have submitted your lives to the call. I am calling those of you to train, encourage and support those who are still on milk. I am looking for those of you who have been delivered from the strongholds of the enemy to strengthen the younger ones of the next generation. Those of you who understand the battle and are ready to serve on the front lines will be strong and do great exploits.
I am calling forth the Josephs who have been put down and abused by others but have not taken offense. They have been dishonored and falsely accused but have not let go of their dreams. I will raise them up and reveal My goodness through their lives. I will use them as signs and wonders to the nations. They will be leaders and they will prosper in times of famine and teach others to do the same.
I am calling forth the Moses to raise up Joshuas. To train men how to be strong and very courageous. To train them in leadership and how to be tenacious in spiritual warfare. To teach them how to be more than conqueror's in every battle. To encourage them to pursue My plan and calling on their lives and never retreat in fiery trials.
I am calling forth the Joshua and Caleb's. They are strong and very courageous and will be leaders in My great army. They are those who have a different spirit and know that they are more than able to go in and possess the land that I have promised to them. They will always come back with a good report and never back down from the enemy. They will go forth in the battle because they know their authority over the giants in the land.
I am calling forth the Naomi's to train up the young Ruth's. The godly women who will comfort and teach the younger woman how to live a lifestyle of integrity, sincerity and respect. To teach them how to walk in humility, wisdom and honor in their relationships.
I am raising up the Samuels. Those who are called to speak as My voice to this generation. They have been marked from a young age. They will recognize My voice and are called to be prophets to the nations. They will discern false teachings and false prophets. They will walk in a life of victory because they are Spirit led and not led by their own desires. They know how to enter into the Holy of Holies, and will teach others how to enter without guilt or shame. Since the veil has been torn, they will come into this higher dimension, and they will receive the fullness of what I have for them.
I am calling forth the Elijah's to train and raise up Elishas with a double portion of their spirit. To train the prophets and teach the younger ones how to be used in the gifts that I have freely given. To show them how to follow in their footsteps and be used in miracles, signs and wonders with respect and reverence of the anointing on their lives. They are those who follow Me closely and will not deviate off the narrow path.
I am calling the Marys. They are those who are highly favored and are carriers of My glory. They are those who have said in their hearts, “be it done unto me according to thy word” . They have abandoned their lives and are impregnated with My seed. They are those who are in labor and ready to conceive. They have been overshadowed with My glory and My word dwells in them.They will produce great things as they bring forth My promises to the ends of the earth. For with Me nothing shall be impossible in their lives.
I am calling forth the Paul's who once had a different name but has been transformed. They are those who have overcome many battles. They have been delivered from the powers of darkness and will go in and rescue others. Follow them, as they follow Me and are My witnesses on this earth. They will be used greatly in miracles, signs and wonders. They will train up the young Timothy's and teach them how to pray. They will teach them how to refrain from sinful ways, and walk in the fear and admonition of the Lord. They will teach them to be strong in what they believe, fan the flames and stir up the gifts that were given to them. They will warn them against false teachings and false prophets, and to always endure hardness as good soldiers. They will encourage them, and teach them not to be ashamed of the gospel.
As you lead these young lambs, teach them how to always walk in love and keep a good conscience. Advise them on righteousness and to have clean hands and a pure heart at all times. Be an example to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Me and let the Holy Spirit be your guide. I will give you the wisdom and knowledge that is required as you submit your lives to the call says the Lord.
Mark 16:17-18
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
Romans 8:19
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Ephesians 4:11-13
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
