Word From The Lord
Contending Faith Bible Conference
Thursday Morning • August 22, 2024
Many are running to and fro. Many are looking here and there. Many are running to this place. Many are traveling to that place. Many are going all across the land.
But in most of these situations and circumstances, it’s not My plan. For man has devised his own way and his own means to worship me. But it does not please me. In this day. For there is a worship. There is a dedication. There is a commitment from the human heart, the human spirit that will bring Me on the scene.
So when you worship Me from your heart, you worship Me in the spirit and get out of the natural understanding, you will see that my glory will come in a great, great measure.
No longer walk in the ways of the flesh. No longer walk in the ways of men.
[Tongues]
And it will be necessary to set some down. And take them out of their place because they’re acting like a clown. And they’re hindering to move the spirit. Because they’re caught up in the ways of the flesh. And they want to please men and not me.
And that will never bring victory. It will never bring my anointing. So some must be plucked up, rooted up and taken out because they won’t obey me. Because they’ve never learned to.
They walk in the flesh. They want to be seen and known by man. They want to receive the accolades of man. They want to receive the praises of man. But they forget about Me. My Word says, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, and He will exalt you, or put you in the place you need to be in and due time. Some that stand in places today have not done that.
They have taken places that I did not give them. They’re trying to walk in anointings that I did not call them to. And so it’ll be necessary for me to pluck them up, root them out. Yes, I’ll dung around the tree for a while, and I have been patient. I’ve been patient with many.
And they’re stretching forth from themself, and they’re trying to go here and get this one to promote them and get that one to promote them and get that one to promote them. That if I get in this crowd then it’ll put me in a better place. If I just get in that crowd, it’ll put me in a better place. That stinks in My nostrils, says the Lord because you’re going by the ways of man and not by the plans of God.
Humble yourself. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. And I call you down from there, you foul spirit! I said, you foul spirit! Right now I see you and I command you to take your hands off that one right there. Take your hands off of them.
That’s a spirit of deception. And I see how it’s going to cause premature death. That’s what you’re there for. And you’re trying to take that one out. But they don’t see it that way. And I bind you right now in the name of Jesus, you foul spirit of death, you foul spirit of deception. And I command you to take your hands off and loose and let go right now. And, father, I thank you, in the name of Jesus that wisdom will come. The anointing will come, and they will clearly see and understand the way that they should go. And they will get in the Holy Ghost flow.
Because there’s many today that think they’re flowing in the Holy Ghost, and they’re not. There’s many that are being followed after with great crowds and accolades of men and praises of men, and knowing not that the one that they’re are following is actually walking in the flesh. And as Dad Hagin would say, they wouldn’t know the Holy Ghost if He come walking down the aisle with a red hat on, wearing a purple cape.
Follow not after man. Follow the Holy Ghost. Follow the Spirit of God. And when my spirit witnesses to your spirit that something’s not right, pay attention to what I say. Because if you don’t, you’re going to get in the wrong way. And when you do, it will cause premature death for you to. Because it’ll open the door to the devil. It’ll open the door to the enemy. And you’ll get out of my plan because you’re following man. Don’t follow man. Follow me and you’ll see there’ll be a great time of victory. For I’ve been dealing with hearts across the land. I’ve been dealing with people in my church to pick up my plan. And they’ve turned a deaf ear unto the Spirit, saith the Lord. And they won’t hear it anymore.
Can I say that? Can I say that?
[Tongues]
Yes Lord. I can say it this way. There is and has been an extended window of mercy for my people to get in to the place that I called them to. This extended window of mercy means that you’re in overtime and it’s almost over. The time is short. The time is short.
And so I’m extending by my hand, even to some that are standing right here, right now, that are in this room right now. I’m extending to you an opportunity is another way to say it—of mercy, extended mercy. The mercy is already been completed in one phase. But since I’m compassionate and such, I’m a loving God, I’m putting an extension on mercy. And I’m putting an extension on grace so you can run into this place. And walk where you should walk.
For the days will come that if you do not hearken and pay attention to what the Spirit of God says to you, even this day, that there will be weeping, wailing, and great sorrow.
Because you’ll discover that the enemy deceived you and kept you out of your place, because you didn’t apply yourself like you should. You didn’t seek me like you should. You didn’t take your place like you should. You didn’t run your race like you should.
[Tongues]
For this is a day of correction. This is a day of correction. And it’s time to change. I’ve extended this window of mercy and grace. So you’re in a time of extension. So run now and take your place. And as you turn your heart unto me, you’re going to find out that that lifelessness, that deadness, that inability to study and pray like you should, it’ll fall off of you. And things that have garrisoned themself around about you, as you begin to seek my face and take your place in the spirit, even physical maladies that have come upon you, you’ll see them just fall away and you’ll say, what happened? What happened? Well, if you seek me, you’ll find out, because it’ll be a brand new day.
It’s not a time of doom and gloom, even though that it seems like that from the words that have already come forth this morning. This is a time of making decisions and making choices.
[Tongues]
It is a time of chastisement. I am chastising my people today because many are not in my way.
[Tongues]
But remember, saith the Lord. There’s an extension of my mercy. There’s an extension of my grace. There’s an extension of my love. So be quick to repent. Be quick to admit that you haven’t been walking like you should. In my spirit and my glory and my power will come upon you in this hour. And then I will lift you up as you unveil yourself under my mighty hand.
And I will place you in the position and place that you need to be. And from that place you will walk in a place of supernatural victory. So don’t be discouraged. Don’t get down and out. Just put your eyes upon me and worship me and praise me, and you will see that I’ll bring you into a super natural place of victory, and my church will walk in my glory.
Ha ha! [Tongues] Because in the natural realm it seems like it’s impossible and it could not be so. But when I declare it, there’s going to be a Holy Ghost flow. A Holy Ghost flow. But the stinking flesh has to be got out of the way. Because I’m upset with that in this day. The Laodicean church will never walk in my will, will never walk in my glory, will never walk in my plan.
So if you need to make corrections, make it. If you don’t need to make corrections, just go on just like you are. Continue to seek my face and run your race and take your place in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. I thank you for it. Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Lord, thank you.
[Tongues]
The helper. The helper. He’s come upon you to help you. He’s come upon you to help you, not to put you down, but to lift you up.
Yes, Lord. And it shall be, Lord. It shall be, Lord. It shall come to pass, Lord. It shall come to pass. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Thank you Lord Jesus for your goodness. Thank you Lord Jesus for your mercy. Thank you Lord Jesus. Lord, thank you for what you’ve shown us. Thank you for what you reveal to us. Lord. Thank you for that. Lord we thank you, Lord, for your holy written word that is a lamp unto our feet and a light into our path. We thank you for revelations of your Word. Lord. We thank you for the Spirit of the living God. Lord, that is moved upon us in a supernatural way. And Father, we thank you, Lord, as I speak today, further, that I’ll speak as the oracles of God, and minister with the ability only what you give.
Lord, I understand that. I understand that. But, Lord, is it necessary? Lord, is it necessary? No, Lord. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.
Lord, unless it’s necessary. Don’t let it happen.
[Tongues] Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Father, we thank you, Lord, for your grace. And Lord, we thank you that you’ve extended that grace and mercy unto us. Lord unto me, and I thank you for it, unto us and to the body of Christ. We thank you for it Father. Lord, we thank you for your holy written Word that is a lamp unto our feet and a light into our paths.
Father, we thank you. We thank you Father. Well, Father, we’re going on with your Word, and we’re going to stand upon your Word. And we’re going to do exactly what the Spirit of God said. We’re going to do what we know to do in our Spirit and Father.
In the end, we’re going to be careful to give you the glory, give you the honor, and give you the praise for all good things. In Jesus name. I pray. Amen.
