                New Realms of God's Glory

"They will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God."  Isaiah 35:2b  
"And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will 
see it.  For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."  Isaiah 40:5  
"I Am the Lord; that is My name!  I will not give My glory to another or 
My praise to idols."  Isaiah 42:8

My people are about to enter a new season both in the natural and more
importantly in the spiritual.  This new season is harvest time throughout
the land.  Harvesting of the crops, a harvest of much fruit that will 
provide food in the natural.

But I say, it is also harvest time in the spiritual realm.  Spiritual food
is ready for all.  The harvest is great and is ripe.  Where are the workers? 
Go out into the byways and seek those who will work in My vineyard.

It is not the same in this new season.  What worked in the past seasons and
years of seasons will not work in this new season.  Many have looked at the 
old ways of doing things in My kingdom.  They think they know how to bring 
about revival based on the same old traditional ways and programs.

Many think because the old ways worked in the past why not continue with the
same methods now.  But I say NOT so!  What worked then will not work now.

My people need to be ready for change.  I am about to do a new thing in the
earth.  You will begin to see new realms of My glory not before seen in the 
earth. Oh yes, you read in My word about the days of Pentecost, but I say, 
you haven't seen anything yet!  The coming days will see an outpouring of 
My Spirit that has not been seen before.  Joel 2 will begin to take on a 
much deeper meaning in the spiritual realm and will manifest in the
natural.

I'm looking for a people who will be radical for Me.  Who will totally give
themselves to Me with abandonment.  My radical ones need to be open for new 
changes to take place in their lives.  This could be leaving loved ones 
behind, leaving all that is familiar and comfortable, leaving your tent 
making jobs and anything else that would bind you up.

I am looking at hearts and motives.  My people, come unto Me and seek My
face in this hour.  This is a critical time in the history of this world 
and most of My people are ill prepared for the coming shaking of the 
heavens and earth.  Humble yourselves before Me.  Ask Me for wisdom and 
discernment in this hour.  Ask Me for spiritual eye salve.  I will give
without measure to strengthen you in this great hour.

Put away the old ways of thinking.  Put away the things of the world that
have entangled many.  Put away being critical of one another because they 
do not measure up to your standards.  The time is now.  Now is the time 
for action on your part.  I am waiting to bestow new anointings and new 
mantles for this coming harvest season.  But each one has a work to do
within themselves.  I am waiting to pour out My Spirit without measure 
into fully yielded vessels.  Don't delay!  Come now.  I wait for each one 
of My people with such a longing in My heart.  Know that I am able to do 
all things. Come just as you are and let Me change you.  My yoke is easy 
and My burden is light.
