Instigating Circumstances
Aug 6th, 2007
Scribe: Priscilla Van Sutphin
Prov 15:15 AMP All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances ].
Phil 4:12 AMP I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances , and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.
“ I am instigating circumstances that will take you into the transitioning that I want for you. I am leading you and guiding you in the midst of turmoil to the abundant place in Me that I have for you , so that the purposes I have for you will be fulfilled in this hour. Tempest and storms, disasters and groanings will cause many to move into new positions and new places where I want to use you in this hour.
There is a deposit of My glory inside you, but I am about to AMPLIFY My glory in you that the world will take notice ! My abundance is for demonstrating My Kingdom. My abundance if for sharing with the poor of the earth. I AM abundant in mercy and abundant in GRACE. I AM abundant in peace, joy, kindness, LOVE, and forbearance. I AM ABUNDANT LIFE. HE Who has ME has abundant life compared to others in this world. Without ME, you cannot DO any good thing.
Life and abundance are in MY HANDS. Yet many will turn away in this hour presuming that they can have it apart from ME. True success in the Kingdom of God is not measured by land ownership, how big your house is, or how well you do in business. These are WORLDLY measures. In other nations Christians do not have money to have large CD collections, stereos, book collections to explain the gospels, big homes and cars, etc. Many cannot even read. But they love ME with their whole heart, and they commune with ME daily. While you in the western world are lulled into passivity by your many things, they are passionate enough to suffer with ME.
You worry about what THINGS you may lose. They have to worry about losing their very lives. Their women have their pastor husbands thrown in jail for months, and have no way to earn a living. Some women are left to beg for coins to feed their families, while you won’t even share your meals with the homeless and poor. You have cars and electronics to communicate with people in the world and are blessed among all nations, yet do not see that you are standing on shaky ground as your economy is at death’s door. Your governors and your congressmen have sold you as slaves to the nations, but you think you are free. YOU HAVE EYES BUT DO NOT SEE. YOU HAVE EARS BUT DO NOT HEAR. WHEN WILL YOU ASK FOR YOUR BLINDNESS TO BE HEALED ? When your blindness becomes madness ? Then will you see ? You think you are RICH but you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked, in need of eyesalve.
Rev 3:16-22 NKJV
16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say,'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked — 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'"
“It is time for HUMILITY to have it’s way with you. You have been proud and unswerving in your arrogance. But I will make you a new heart America. I will make you to know that I ALONE AM GOD. You will become servants to others. You will no longer play the harlot with the nations, perverting their sons and daughters with your worldly music and entertainment. You will long for the days you have seen. You will cry out to me in your anguish and I will once again make you to know ME. You will no longer serve the gods of this world. You will no longer laugh at or honor idolatry to other gods. I will give you a new heart. I will give you a new SPINE to be able to STAND and say NO to idols - That you would no longer serve those other gods, nor to serve the BEAST who will demand your worship !
YOU ARE MINE AMERICA AND I WILL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. FALSE PROPHETS HAVE LULLED YOU TO SLEEP WITH HUMANISM, DEMANDING SOFT WORDS AND THEIR QUEST FOR MONEY YOU SEE NOT. SO THE SPIRIT OF SLUMBER HAS COME AND TAKEN OVER MUCH OF THE CHURCH. BUT I WILL SHAKE IT LOOSE BY MY POWER DISPLAYED THROUGH VESSELS OF GOLD. YOU WILL SEE TRUE PROPHETS TAKE THE LEAD NOW. NOT TO BECOME RICH, BUT TO DISPLAY MY POWER IN THE EARTH THAT ALL MAY KNOW THE TRUTH OF MY CHARACTER. MY LOVE IS A FLAME THAT CANNOT BE QUENCHED. MY LOVE DIVIDES. MY LOVE IS A CONSUMING FIRE THAT DIVIDES THE FLESH FROM THE SPIRIT. MY LOVE IS NOT PLACATING. MY LOVE IS NOT IMPURE AND APPROVING OF FLESHLY WAYS. MY LOVE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROUD AND ARROGANT ‘I’s’, ‘me’s’,& ‘my’s’ !
There is nothing in heaven or on earth that takes precedence over ME. My glory does NOT PUT SELF FIRST. NOW LOOK AT YOUR PRIESTS AND PROPHETS AMERICA AND TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE THIS ? YOU WILL SEE THE TRANSFORMATION BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES. YOU WILL SEE THEM REPENT OF THEIR HARDNESS, AND LIES. YOU WILL SEE THEM BOW TO ME. YOU WILL SEE A SHAKING TRANSFORMATION OF ALL WHO HAVE LIFTED THEIR NAMES BEFORE MINE ! AND YOU WILL TREMBLE AND REPENT FOR PUTTING MAN ABOVE ME. YOU WILL TREMBLE AND REPENT FOR NOT HAVING MERCY FOR THE WEAK AND BROKEN. I KNOW HOW TO HUMBLE THOSE WHO ARE ARROGANT IN HEART ! A NEW DAY ARISES BELOVEDS. PREPARE YOUR OWN HEART FOR HABITATION !”
Isa 2:11-12 AMP The proud looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. 12 For there shall be a day of the Lord of hosts against all who are proud and haughty and against all who are lifted up--and they shall be brought low-- [Zeph 2:3; Mal 4:1.]

[I will] not,[I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down ( relax My hold on you)!
