Scripture: Joel 2

And the Lord would say to you, "This is a day and an hour when I’m calling My army to rise up into higher heights. I’m calling you to come to Me on a moment’s notice. There will be no time to prepare. There will be no time to pack your goods, but there will only be time for you to run. To come up to the mountain to receive instruction. To know what to do in this day and this hour. Know that I am calling you into the deeper places of the Spirit. I’m calling you into the deep things of My Spirit. Know that I intend to release revelation. I intend to release revelation in the earth realm through My prophets and through My servants who have an ear to hear. Hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches."

And the Lord would say to you, "That this is now the time that I am going to come into the driver’s seat. I’m going to come into the driver’s seat of your ministry. I’m going to come into the driver’s seat of your life. And I’m going to even come into the driver’s seat of your creativity. There are too many things that I have given you that lay dormant in you and now I, Myself, am coming to bring about the tings that I want in this earth. Know that you’re going to be walking in some perilous times, but know that the power that I have given you will overcome the enemy. Know that this is the time to rise up to worship even in violent praise through the Spirit. What you already know, know how to do, isn’t going to carry you into the future. You need a fresh revelation. And this day I am releasing revelation to you."

And the Lord would say to you, "That those who have intents on destroying this land, know that even though they are coming, I will raise up My own army at this time. I will put you between them. I will stop their plans and I will save your land."

And the Lord would say to you, "That as the enemy is coming and desires to run upon your roofs and come into your windows like a thief, know that I am even raising up a standard against them this day. But know that you must rise up, mighty army. That I must use you in battle array. That there’s coming a time when even My holy angels shall join you in war."

And the Lord would say, "This is a day to turn away from mundane things. This is a day to turn away from the things that distract you from the battle that lays ahead. Know that as you come to Me in prayer and fasting know that I’m going to raise you up and set you upon the wall. That you shall stand in the gap not only for your nation, but of the nations of the world. I’m calling even now an intercessor army to be raised up and to be put into place."

And the Lord would say to you, "That I am calling you into a time of separteness. I’m calling you into a time of prayer and fasting. I’m calling you to even call a solemn assembly and gather together those what will pray. And those that know the Lord. Those that know how to press in. I’m calling together a people who will weep and pray and ask Me not to destroy those that have come against you. Those that have refused the name of the Lord. Those that have refused to bow their knee. Know that you must stand in the gap and pray for those now like you’ve never prayed before. Because things are coming upon the earth and there shall be a shaking. Know that there shall be a shaking. A shaking. Yes, I say a shaking."

And the Lord would say to you, "That I have let it rain moderately in the past. I have sent some soakings to some parts, but know I’m getting ready to pour out the latter rain upon all flesh who will receive it. And the latter rain shall drench you with anointing and power. You shall walk forth and cast out demons and you shall heal the sick and raise the day. And know that My rain is coming upon My entire body, but know that the rain that I send has to be received. If you do not receive it, you cannot walk in it. But know that I am sending the rain."

And the Lord says it’s coming to pass afterwards. After you have pressed in with prayer and with fasting. After you have called the solemn assemblies. That afterward, after you have done this, after you have focused on Me, after you have drawn away from the things that distract you, that afterward, I shall pour My Spirit upon all flesh.

And the Lord would say to you today, "That I’m calling a remnant. I’m calling those that I’m going to save. That I’m going to pull out…I’m going to bring in the harvest even as I’m giving you this day bigger reapers, bigger sickles to reap the harvest. Even know that I’m calling you to a place. I’m calling you to a purpose and I’m loosing upon you the anointing. I am loosing upon you the power of God. The deudomous power that will come through you. And know today, that I am calling you. I am calling you. I will restore you. I say to you that there is coming a time in the next 3 months where there will be disasters upon the earth. But you are not to fear. There’s going to be natural disasters, some man made disasters, but I’m telling you, you are not to fear. Because it is a time of reaping. It is a time of judgment unto repentance. It is a time I’m bringing those souls into the Kingdom. And know that the harvest is ready and know that I’m going to use you. Look up! Your redemption draweth nigh. And look up, I’m going to pour My Spirit upon all flesh. Know that I am saying to you this day that I have called you into a higher place. I’ve called you to come forth even in power. And those that believe shall heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, and pull down principalities. Know that we’re coming into the day to pull down the high places. And I’m saying to My people, as you pull down the high places in your own minds, in your own spirit, you’ll be able to pull down places in the Spirit realm. And know that I’m saying to you that there is much revival coming to the land. I am now beginning even now, to release the rain of revival. And I’m going to release it on America in strange places. When they said what good could come from Nazareth, I’ll release My Spirit, My revival in places that they would think is strange. But I’m releasing it into those people who are calling out to Me. Who are ready. Who are willing to lay down those things that hinder them."

And the Lord would say to you, "Get ready!." The Lord would say to you, "Get ready!" The Lord would say to you, "Get ready! Get ready! The time is coming. And the time now is when you must ready yourself. Be ready at all times to do the work of the ministry. For know that I am sending the lost to you. Know that some are going to come running to you, because of fear. And know that you must be ready with a Word of hope. Know that I am going to use prophecy more in these days than I have in previous days. Know on this earth, that I’m going to use it in a way that it shall bring you before those of importance. Know that I’m going to give you dreams and visions. I’m going to pour them out in a supernatural way. And I’m going to use them, even now, to bring you before those who are lost. I’m pouring out dreams and visions on the lost, those that do not know Me and they’re going to seek for council, who can tell me what this dream means. Know that I am stepping things up in the Spirit and you must learn to live in the Spirit at all times.
