                    Prepare Your Hearts

I am doing a new thing. Well, it is not really a new thing, but it is new
in your Christian walk and experience.  I am moving among My people with
tangible evidences of My presence and with tangible evidences of My love.
I am bringing them to a level of intimacy with Me that they have not known 
for many generations.  There are going to be more supernatural experiences,
where people are caught up into the Heavenlies with Me in open visions.

There will be an increased ability to discern My will and an increased
accountability within My people to obey Me once I have revealed My will to
them.  There will be an increase of Ananias and Sapphira experiences as
I begin to bring My discipline back into My church.  For just as when I 
was with Moses and the children of Israel in the wilderness, so I will be 
with My people more tangibly in the coming days.  And just as My increased 
presence required an increased response of holiness from My people then, 
so it will be now as well.

So many of My children cry out to Me, "Lord show us your glory. Come with
Your presence!" But they do not understand what it is they are asking. For 
when I come with presence, I also come in My holiness, as I am a holy God. 
And I cannot tolerate sins and unforgiveness and back-biting and many 
other things that are common in My church today.  Yes, My presence is 
surely coming back into My church, so these things must go.

Now is a time and a season of grace and preparation.  This is a time to
prepare your hearts and purify your ways.  Many who think they can stand
before Me and gaze into My face will find this is not the case. The 
intensity of  My holiness is greater than you imagine.  So invite My 
Spirit to search your hearts and begin to transform the things that 
cannot stand before Me in My presece.  

Child, I am coming in a more tangible way. I am bringing My pesence and
My glory back to My people in ways that even the world will talk about.
There will be healings and there will be deliverances and the breaking off
of oppressions. There will be an increase of miracles and an increase of
supernatural revelation.  But there will also be an increased requirement
of holiness and obedience placed upon My people.  I am looking for those
whose hearts are pliable and yielded before Me, who love Me and who are 
firmly committed to obey Me.  I am looking for those who are willing to
cooperate with My spirit and prepare themselves for My vistation. Child,
will I find this in you?

The days of preparation are drawing to a close.  If you have not already 
begun to prepare your heart before Me, you must start right away.  For when 
I come with My tangible presence and glory, I will require a higher level 
of holiness and a higher level of obedience and a higher level of purity 
from My own.  Remember that I am the God who looks upon the heart and not 
only at outward actions and appearances.  So prepare your hearts before Me.

Yes, I am bringing My presence and My glory back to My people. I will once
again perform signs and wonders in their midst. I will release My glory 
and cause My name to be exalted through My mighty works.  I will disarm 
and disable the principalities that oppose what I am doing, just as I did 
in Egypt many years ago.  And I am releasing My Spirit with great power 
and anointing just as I did in the early days of the Church.  For I will 
once again have My people be My witness in all the earth, and I will once 
again be found among them.  And while this will be a time of great 
rejoicing for many of you, there will also be the the Ananias and Sapphira 
experiences.  I will bring discipline within My own household where it is
needed.  I released My holy angels to slay those who murmured and rebelled 
against Me in the desert with plagues and destruction.  I will likewise
do similar things in My next visitation.  

So I warn you, My children, do not delay and do not tarry. Begin this day 
to examine your hearts with Me and allow Me to establish you in My holiness.  
Then you will be prepared for My presence and you will able to stand before 
Me and serve Me in My power and authority in the day of My visitation.  It 
will not be long until I do this new thing in your midst.  So prepare your 
hearts, My people, prepare your hearts.
