                    "Now" Is The Time

Your "yes, yes," that rings in the corridors of heaven are now releasing 
My power on earth.  A new fresh fire has begun to burn.  Fear not, My 
little ones, I have heard your "yes, yes" and you now will be filled with 
a new fire that will release a new Pentecost upon this earth to usher in 
the kingdom of God.  So look up, My children, for your Redeemer lives and 
rains down upon you fresh fire from Heaven.  Some of you have felt the 
rumblings from within, like a volcano that was about to erupt, yet you did 
not know what to do with it. Some have felt they would die if not released. 
Yet, it was not then My time. 

But I say unto you, "now" is My time.  This is the time that My Holy 
Spirit's fire comes to burn within you anew.  This is the time that My 
river is released, flowing like a mighty force.  My fire will consume all 
within you that is not of Me and My river will wash you, cleanse you, 
renew you.  In all of this you will find that you will begin to act and 
do things in new ways -- ways you have not known before.  You will find My 
words coming and speaking to you and through you in ways you have not know 
nor could you know until now. For now is the time. 

My children make yourselves ready for your King is coming to establish His 
kingdom in you. For have I not said, the kingdom of God is within you? Yes, 
within you My children. And now is the time I will release you to walk in 
the fullness of My Spirit.  So think it not strange in the ways I will now 
lead you from this day forth. Just as a bride makes herself ready for her 
bridegroom, now make yourselves ready!

You must not look to the way things have been in year past nor look to the 
way things are, for I am God, who is still creating. Therefore remember 
not the former things. For, behold, starting today I will do a new thing. 
Will you not perceive it?  You have not walked this way before. For behold 
today is the day of My salvation.  So lift up your heads you gates and walk 
with Me. 

Those of you who will walk with Me in these new ways, you will be the 
generation that will see My visions and dream My dreams and speak My Word 
with power and authority, as the fire of My love consumes you. There is 
no more time to play church; there is only time to be My Church. So arise 
My children, awake unto a new day -- a day of purity and power -- that 
you may each be the Church together.

So let go of those things that so easily beset you and pull you down. I 
say to you today "Let Them Go"! For if you try to carry them into this 
new day, you will surely be consumed by them and not Me. My children hear 
the Word of the Lord for you today and come unto Me all you who are dry 
and thirsty and I will give you My living water. You have said "Yes, Yes"
to Me, and now I say "Yes, Yes" to you.

Allow the breath of God to blow into these very dry bones today. Let the 
people of God see, hear, feel and taste My new life.  Allow My fire to 
burn within, for it is a fire that shall not be quenched.  Now is the time 
to ask for the kingdoms, that they may come unto Me. Ask big!  I am ready 
to do big things, greater then you could ever imagine. It is time for My 
bride to arise and take the land. Don't hold back; take the land! Ask, ask 
big for now is the time! 

You who have felt you were the least, I would say to you I have always 
raised up and moved through those which appeared to be the least. Yet I 
would say to you: You are not the least, so arise! Arise, for I am ready 
to give new life and new birth to My church.  The breath of God is blowing; 
it is blowing new life into those dry bones. 

But know this: not all who call themselves the church are Mine, and you will 
see many fall in these days. For they were not My church. You will see the 
purity and holiness of My church as she arises, for she shall shine like 
the morning star. Just remember it has always been darkest before the dawn.  

Can you hear the sound, the sound of My great army coming forth? Listen to 
the sound! Tune your ears and do not miss the sound of My great army. For 
it is an army like you have never seen. It is My bride, ready to arise. 
There is a new song arising from My bride and it will be like a two edged 
sword in her mouth. It is a song of purity and holiness. It gives off a 
clear sound. A sound like no sound you have ever heard. It is a great army 
that cannot be stopped.

So today arise My bride and be the Church in duded with My power.
