A time of compromise emerges as worldly movements intensify, and feelings rule the day. As the year 2018 begins, the church at large still remains ignorant of the spiritual realm. It remains ignorant of the role of the person of the Holy Spirit in the lives of people, as well as the spiritual agenda of the powers of darkness in world affairs. While this absence of knowledge continues, the church remains impotent to change the course of history. But there are some who are awakening to know and understand the authority that has been given them. They can still enter Heaven’s plans and be effective for the good of mankind.
2017 has been a year of tremendous loss for many, due to ignorance, evil, weather, as well as to passivity. However, what has been lost in the past can be recovered this year, if you lost your faith, your health, your job, your purpose, your joy, or your way in life. These areas of loss can be changed, but only as you turn completely to Me, says the Lord. Then I will give you My grace that will open the locks on your heart this year so you can receive.
I, the Lord, say to those who are drowning in ignorance and want, only your full turning to Me will cause the shadows in your lives to pass away. You must desire a totally altered life in Me.
Gross darkness blankets the earth. But heaven will engage in battles to thwart the plans of evil if the spiritual arena of men will allow My Holy Spirit to direct the only operations that can divert Satan’s plan to take the United States out of its ordained position in the world.
Those who can work with Me this year are those whose life is in full spiritual submission to My Spirit, says the Lord. My vessels of change are not those who see a devil where there is no devil and are blind to the operation of evil spirits where they are fully involved. My plan, says the Lord, is always advancing. It will ultimately prevail. My word and My will, no force can stop.
Divisions continue to widen between those who seek truth and those who avoid it. In 2018, there will be a sharp rise in various areas of division, so great that in some cases, the truth avoiders will resort to great violence in the name of their false truths. 2018 will be recorded as a year of extremes, and especially, extreme violence. There will be new faces of terror not seen before.
Seek Me, says the Lord, to deliver you from subtle deceptions, from all that is false in an era where all that is false is usurping truth. Deceiving spirits are cunning and very clever. They will especially seek to target My elect, says the Lord. Only as you are totally submitted to Me can you escape their deceptions. So do not be surprised when the unsubmitted are deceived. All manner of deceptions and deceiving persons will go into full operation as 2018 moves the prophetic time clock forward.
Pray in faith. Remain close to Me, says the Lord, and you will know the truth, and you will remain free in Me. A man’s character is his life, and in 2018, moral choices will become more complicated. Moral issues will be very clouded, and many people’s words will come back to haunt them.
Don’t worry about or spend time thinking about what you can’t change. Only concern yourself with what you can change. And those things that you can change will be made known to you by the Holy Spirit. So don’t try to change what has not been given to you to change – or has not been given to you as an assignment from above.
I speak in these days only to those in My Body who are Holy Spirit assignment oriented, not to those who falsely appoint themselves.
So many have been taken captive by world agendas because Satan has many different kinds of voices in the world, many of which are difficult to discern. These voices will be responsible for creating a sharp increase in terrorist cells in the U. S. and abroad.
But there is one true voice of My Spirit. You cannot live today without knowing and listening to My voice and determining to obey it at all times. It will take a true and honest heart to know My one voice showing you the way, the truth, and the life you are to live for Me at this hour, says the Lord. Only a living faith will serve you in such polarized political times.
The dogs of war have been restrained, awaiting their appointed times. A calm has fallen, but it is just the calm before the storm. Forces behind the scene are reassembling and refocusing their determined plan to take down – and to tear down – truths long held in place.
Falsehoods shall prevail, and only the wise will be able to maneuver and keep their positions.
It is a day when truly the old will be out, and the new will take its place. And many time-held ways will fade away as an era of compromise emerges. The rules in many places have changed. The old rules will change, and new rules will be established in the world system.
The church will find its place in the world more difficult because the laws of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus have not changed; neither will they, for they are eternal. People of the world change with world changes, but the people of God remain true to Him and His changeless ways.
Just as new leadership emerges in the world, new leaders will emerge in the church. Many will represent compromise, seeking to compete with the world in status. But the true leaders will emerge with a new mantle of anointing. These ministers will be such as those who will seal the saints in their pre-ordained positions in Jesus. Boldness and uncompromising spiritual positions will be the signs of their eternal calls. Their leadership will encourage all who are faithful to Me, says the Lord, to be thoroughly convinced of My faithfulness to them.
Though I have appeared to be hidden in many situations in the past, yet today I will emerge in full visibility because of true fervent intercessors, and the cry will go out, “It is God!” And it will be heard.
2018 will see the fulfillment of prophecies of the past. Much of My prophetic word will be brought to pass this year. You will be amazed at how many things I have spoken so long ago will burst on the world scene.
I put you in remembrance that I said I would speak to you in these last days by my Son, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. So many of My people, as well as the people of the world, are seeking those with familiar spirits to find out what is coming to pass in these days. Psychics, diviners, and astrologers are directing the stock markets, but they will fail them this year.
When Saul lost his divine connection with me, he was lost, and he lost everything. I desire My people to have a secure, divine connection with Me so that they will be in the know that I may prosper them, warn them, and guide everyone into his appointed path. Don’t lose your position in Me, for the position of your ear centered in Me is the only way to escape fear of what is coming in the earth.
