NOTE:

  God had a surprise for me about how He wants to run the prophetic-word
  list this week. We just finished one batch of words and we were supposed
  to start the next batch today. But God said that He had other ideas, 
  that He wants to do things differently this week. 

  He is God and in charge of this ministry. so we are going to do it His 
  way instead of the following our routine.

  I need to give you a tad of background to explain what God is doing 
  this week. I have been teaching a beginning prophecy class on the 
  internet, and there are about two dozen people in that class. Last 
  Tuesday was class 5 of 8, and the class sought the Lord for corporate 
  words for the body of Christ. Some of the people in the class are 
  brand new to the prophetic, and others have been prophesying for a 
  little while now, but never had any formal training. These guys are 
  the "beginners," the ones who you would not expect to see producing 
  "mature" prophetic words of the nature we usually distribute on this 
  list. 

  But God told me that He is all-powerful and He can speak effectively 
  through any vessel He chooses. (I think you will be surprised at how
  much He speaks through this group of "beginners.")

  God instructed me to choose 8 words from the last class, and to present 
  them (two a day) this week on the prophetic-word list. After giving 
  that instruction, the Lord gave me a word for today. That word sort of 
  explains why God is doing things differently on the list this week. 
  It is also a word of great hope and encouragement to each of us. Here 
  is what He said...


                            Little Ones

"I am raising up the little ones to do My work; the ones who have not 
been noticed or put in the spotlight. I am raising up those who have not 
been singled out for their ability or for their gifting. I am setting 
them in place, and I will do a glorious work through them. Do not think 
this is strange, for have I not said in My word, "I will use the simple 
things of the world to confound the wise."

"No longer will the acclamation go to the ones through whom I am doing 
My work--for there will be far too many of them to single ones out. Soon 
the acclamation will go to Me, and to Me alone.

"I am raising up so many of My own who will see what I am doing and 
then do it with Me. My power and anointing is going to flow through so 
many different vessels that you won't be able to single out one or two 
to look up to. You will be force to look only to Me; and when you do, I 
will raise you up as well and fill you with My power and glory.

"I am changing the focus back to Myself. People will no more travel 
great distances to seek out "this one" for healing or "that one" for 
impartation. I will raise up each of My own dear children to do with 
Me what I am doing in this earth. I will not limit Myself to just a 
few servants that I anoint and strongly flow through. No, My plans 
are far greater than that. I will use each person who calls himself 
by the name of My Own dear Son; I will empower everyone who belongs 
to Me, if only they are willing.

"So be willing, dear one. Make yourself available to Me and submit to 
My Lordship, and I will release My anointing upon you. Yes, dear one, 
I mean you! I will do amazing things through you if only you will 
choose to do them with Me."
