Word for Africa

You in Africa have been on my heart strongly as well as the Indians, And Pakistani's.  One reason being the growth of Islam. I have been asking God to give me specific words for you. But this word I got part of it for another, I felt to share with all of you this morning. I pray you will receive it as encouragement and from my heart of love for you.

The Lord says,
"The days are coming that no man could bear. This is why there is a time of being
In the "upper room"...a time of consecration and separation from the world so that
Even when you can't FEEL ME, I am pouring in GLORY as you rest and quiet
Yourself in ME, and refrain from striving.  If you strive, and try to work hard,
You will be limited because it is ME you are resisting to try and bring about
What ONLY I CAN DO.  I WILL fight FOR you as you QUIET yourself and REST in ME.

Isa 30:15 For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not,  NKJV

Isa 7:3-5 and say to him:'Take heed, and be quiet ; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying, NKJV

I am with you and my love for you will NEVER wain !  I am Your ABBA, Your FATHER, Who will always love you, no matter what happens, no matter where you have been or Done.  I LOVE ALL MY CREATION.  I LOVE MY CHURCH.  I know they are dirty,  I know they are weak and have swallowed an impure gospel.  But I am not weak nor complacent in correcting those if you will pray for them with compassion and love that I give to you for them.  It may help you to see them as an undisciplined or unruly child,  That has been raised wrong.  For that is the truth for many of them. They swallowed lies that are also in MY western church with a prosperity gospel that is NOT MY WILL. 

I demonstrated the CROSS.  I said, FOXES HAVE HOLES AND BIRDS HAVE NESTS, BUT THE SON OF MAN HAS NOWHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD.
YET, the western bride continues in her indulgences and has perverted the gospel
Everywhere she has gone.  Men in their humanness WANT to hear that they can have anything they want.   But I SAID to store up treasures in HEAVEN where moth and rust do not decay.

Many who are now first will be LAST.  Those who have persevered, and been rejected and defamed, and humiliated will shortly come into a better inheritance.  That better inheritance is ME.  I WILL COME TO YOU.  And I WILL POUR OUT MORE GLORY, and with that will come MORE miracles, and MORE signs and wonders to defy even the Islamic  hatred and satanic plans of men.  They will not be able to withstand My glory in you. 

You will live until I SAY it is time to go home. So be not afraid at all of the advances of the kingdom of hell.  For on the winds of shaking in AFRICA will I pour out glory that will startle those who have like ESAU settled for a dish of lentils over their true inheritance.  DO NOT BE GLAD or rejoice when you see My Glory lay waste those who are truly wicked, or remove the candlesticks from those who refuse to give to the poor.  For it is ONLY by My GRACE that any of you can do anything !  You could be an alcoholic and greedy man were it not for MY intervention in your life.

The church does NOT know MY GRACE.  They do not acknowledge MY POWER but instead run on their own power, and prowess.  BUT I WILL SHAKE EVERYTHING that can be shaken.  I WILL destroy the kingdoms built by men.
I have withheld from many of you, in order to perfect humility and grace so that when you come into your inheritance, you will not make the same mistakes as they did.  Also that you would learn to speak MY WORD to the powers of darkness instead of your words.  You must remember from whence you came, and that your true home is in HEAVEN, Not on earth.

You must depend on ME to administrate what I will pour out in you.
I do not want you critical or judging any man !  If I give you a word to speak that
Is what you must do.  But do NOT talk or criticize any man, for without My grace
You too could be in that same condition.  Put away all judgments and leave the judging to ME.  When I tell you to confront, then confront. But do not rejoice that I have  Given you My secrets, or My discernment, but rejoice that I have had mercy on you and your name is written in the book of life.  For even I hate to see judgment on My beloveds. 

I do it out of LOVE to draw their hearts back to ME.  PRAY against the resistance in them.  Speak the WORD over them and bind the word to their minds and write it on their hearts.  Use the WORD now and consider them your family, even though they are rebellious.  It is not man you fight against but demons and spiritual wickedness, principalities and powers, do not take on the heavenlies, for that is MY work. But take on the individuals you see each day. PRAY for them, the lost and the weak, and those in My church who have gone astray as I bring them to mind.  Forgive all that has gone before you deep in your heart.

I am reaching down and I will do a NEW THING. IT WILL SPRING UP LIKE CROCUS IN THE SPRINGTIME AND THERE WILL BE WATERS IN THE DESERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SO WOUNDED AND OPPRESSED BY OTHERS.  I WILL MAKE A SHOW OF MY GLORY AND MEN WHO MOCK WILL BE UTTERLY ASHAMED OR SEE THE CONSEQUENCE QUICKLY.  SO LEAVE ALL TO ME.

I love you and I am doing what is best for you.   I will take you on the wings of the WIND of all WINDS that is coming and you will trample on serpents & scorpions.  LOVE IS THE GREATEST FORCE and WEAPON you have.  I am coming soon to OVERWHELM YOU MORE with MY LOVE.  It will wipe away every tear and it will break every yoke.  

Criminals and prisoners will hear about My love and be loosed to freedom and salvation. The only thing that will turn their hearts will be the LOVE I express through My servants.  So keep in the upper room, and receive. The time is soon at hand ."
