The Spirit states that in acharit ha'yamim (אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים), the latter days, people will have “seared consciences,” that is, a moral sense that is rendered unresponsive, numb, and unfeeling... People will be unable to discern the significance of moral and spiritual reality, thereby silencing any qualm of moral protest. We see this today in our scandal-saturated culture, as politicians brazenly lie with impunity and moral anarchy is openly celebrated. We must be careful not to heed the devil’s logic of compromise, that “dialectic” that denies transcendental moral reality by pretending that truth can only be defined by the exigencies of the hour and its desire. "The world passes away and the lusts thereof..." (1 John 2:17). We must consciously remind ourselves that the LORD God of Israel does not endorse sin, regardless of any supposed political benefit given to the world at large, and that the end never justifies the means. God is not a pragmatist; there are no "noble lies" for sake of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Apostles are among us
Apostles Are Among Us
Lisa Enebeli
The other day, I heard the phrase, apostles are among us, in my spirit. As I have meditated on it the past couple of days and prayed into it, the Lord began to reveal to me what it means and it brought such freedom to me, that I wanted to share it with you, hoping it will bring some understanding to those that may be wondering what is happening in us, through us and around us. Apostles are sent ones, it is a function, not a title, they are not special in the sense that they have more value than any other person in the body of Christ, they just have a different function. That is why Paul said in I Corinthians, not all are apostles. Remember the context of this statement was about being a body and each having a different function. So, when I say apostles are among us, it is not about hierarchy or pecking order, but rather a function.
Living in a world where the enemy is making it clear through the news that he has agents of destruction planted in the soil of our cities, countries, and churches, the Lord also has people planted among us and they are called apostles. Apostles activate the people of God to do the work of God in order to advance the kingdom of God. The apostolic gift is an activation gift for the body of Christ. Jesus is called the apostle of our faith, He is the one that activates our faith into action through His word. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles, he activated the truth that Gentiles could experience the same salvation that Jews did. The apostolic function is for activation. There are apostles among us.
A group of people were called to be apostles, but they did not know when they accepted the call to the wilderness training, on the back side of the desert, in obscurity, this is what they were being called to be. They entered this training out of obedience to the voice of God, not sure where they were going, but knowing they heard the voice of Him who called them out of darkness into His light, so they followed. The training has been hard, it has been lonely, it has brought disappointment, discouragement and a desire to quit, but the call to obey was stronger than all of these other things, so they stayed the course. When everyone else was sleeping, they were awake; when others were playing, they were in training; they have been underground this whole time, and yet living among us. Many have never heard there name, most have no idea what they are being called to do, very few have seen them in their assignment, because they have been in training.
Their weapons are worship and prayer, their leaves are their words and they will bring healing to the nations, they bear the fruit of the spirit in every season, they are apostolic ambassadors who take their commands from the Lord of Heaven and Earth. These men and women are among us, they have been rewired and refired for such a time as this. They have been called, consecrated and commissioned for the hour that is coming upon us. They know the voice of God, they know the word of God, they know how to be led by the spirit of God, they are not trying to make their own way prosperous, they are not looking for man to lift them up, they are an army of apostolic ambassadors and they are among us. Their source is God alone, they are servants, they seek first the kingdom of God and they have a helmet of salvation, a breastplate of righteousness, a belt that is truth, shoes that are the gospel, a shield that is faith, and a sword that is the word of God. They are fearless.
The Lord has been teaching them in the apostolic training school on the back side of the desert, they are planted in the soil of every sector of society, they are diverse, yet one. They are dressed and ready for battle, ready to reap the harvest, ready to disciple nations, not for their glory, but for His glory. When the Lord calls for their arising you will know who they are, for they will activate the body of Christ as one unit to advance the kingdom of God.
They are lovers of God and lovers of people, but they do not compromise the truth. You will know them when they arise, they are still in training, they are still waiting for the commander’s voice to activate them on assignment, for they are the apostles among us and they are an army that has been trained for the battle that is at hand. The Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes. The apostles are among us!

A TALK IN HEAVEN
A Talk in Heaven
Excerpt from the Book:
The Call
By Rick Joyner
Then a second voice spoke, “I, too, confirm this truth. The Judgment
of God is about to be revealed on the earth. Even so, “Mercy triumphs
over judgment.” The Lord always extends mercy before judgment.. If
you will warn the people that His judgments are near, his mercy will
save many. I did not recognize the one speaking, but it was another
man of great stature and nobility, with a brilliance that indicated a
high rank.
“I am Jonah,” he said “When you understand the Lord’s judgments,
you understand His ways. However, even if you understand them, it
does not mean that you agree with them. Understanding is necessary,
but it is not enough. The Lord also wants you to agree with Him. “You
have often asked for the Lord’s presence to go with you. That is wisdom.
I was a prophet, and I knew Him, yet I tried to flee from His presence.
That was a great folly, but not as foolish as you may think. I had come
to understand the great burning that comes with His presence. I had
come to understand the responsibility that comes from being close to
Him. In His presence, all wood, hay and stubble is consumed. When
you draw close to Him with hidden sin in your heart, it will drive you
to insanity, as many have learned through the ages. I was not trying
to flee from the will of the Lord as much as I was fleeing His presence.
“When you ask for the reality of His presence, you are asking for the
reality that you have seen here to be with you. Heaven is your true
home, and it is right for you to yearn for this. Even so, he is a Holy God,
and if you will walk closely with Him, you too, must be Holy. The closer
that you get to Him, the more deadly hidden sin can be.” “I understand
this,” I replied. “That is why I asked for the Lord’s judgments in my
own life.” “Now I must ask you this,” Jonah continued. “Will you seek
Him?” “Of course.” I responded. “ I desire His presence more than any-
Thing. There is nothing greater than being in His presence. I know that
many of my motives for wanting to be with Him are selfish, but being
with Him helps to set me free from that kind of selfishness. I do
want to be with Him. I will come to Him.
“Will you?” Jonah continued. “Until now you have been even more
foolish than I was. You can come boldly before his throne of Grace at
any time and for any need, but rarely do you come. Yearning for His
presence is not enough. You must come to Him. If you draw near to
Him, He will draw near to you. “Many have come to know and follow
His ways, but they do not come to Him. In the times that you will soon
enter, they will depart from His ways because they did not come to Him.
You have laughed at my folly, which was great, but yours is even greater
than mine. However, I do not laugh at your folly-I weep for you.. Your
savior weeps for you; he intercedes for you continually. When He
weeps, all of heaven weeps. I weep because I know how foolish His
people are. I know you because you are just like me, and like me, the
Church has run to Tarshish, desiring to trade with the world even more
than sitting before His Glorious throne. At that same time, the sword
of Gods judgments are hanging over the earth. I weep for the Church
because I know you well. “I am guilty!” I pleaded. “What can we do?”
“Great storms are coming upon the earth,” Jonah continued. “I slept
when the storm came upon the ship that I was in while running from
the Lord. The Church is also sleeping. I was the prophet of God, but
the heathen had to wake me up. So it is with the Church. The heathen
have more discernment that the Church at this time. They know when
the Church is going the wrong way, and they are shaking the Church,
trying to wake you up so that you will call on your God. “Soon the
leaders of the world will cast you overboard, just as the men in that
ship had to do to me. They will not let you keep going in the way you
are headed. This is the Grace of God to you. He will then discipline you
with a great beast that comes up out of the sea. It will swallow you for
a time, but you will be vomited out of it. Then you will preach His mess-
age.”
“Is there no other way? I asked. “Yes, there is another way,” Jonah
replied, “although this has come and is coming. Some are already in
the belly of the beast. Some are about to be cast overboard, and some
are still sleeping, but almost all have been on the ship going the wrong
way, seeking to trade with the world. However, you can judge yourself
and He will not have to judge you. If you will wake yourself up, repent
and go the way He sends you, you will not have to be swallowed by the
beast.” “is the beast to which you are referring the one in Revelation 13?”
I asked. “It is the same. As you read in that chapter, this beast is given
to make war with the saints and to overcome them.. This will happen
to all that do not repent. But know that those who are overcome by
this first beast will be vomited out of it before the next beast comes,
the one that comes up out of the earth. Even so, it will be much easer
for you if you repent. It is much easer not to be swallowed by the beast.
“Just as Lot ’s story is a warning to those who are given over to perver-
sion, my story is a warning to the Lord’s prophet, the Church. The
Church is running from the presence of the Lord. It is running to activity
In place of seeking the Lord’s presence. You may call your activity “min-
istry.” But it is actually running from the presence of the Lord. As I have
said, the Church is running to Tarshish so it can trade with the world
and seek treasures of the sea, while the greater treasures-the treasures
of heaven-few are seeking. “The sin of wanting to trade with the world
has entangled the Church, just as I was entangled in the belly of the beast
with the weeds wrapped around my head. The weeds, the cares of this
world, have wrapped themselves around the mind of the Church. It toke
me three days to turn to the Lord because I was so entangled. It is taking
Christians much longer. Their minds are so entangled with the world,
and they have fallen to such depths, that many have no hope of getting
free. You must turn to the Lord instead of away from Him. He can un-
tangle any mess, and can bring you up from the greatest depths. Run from
Him no longer! Run to Him!”

On earth as it is in Heaven
Just thought I would share today
We are walking into a season of God's most beautifully orcheastrated, intricately woven, laser pointed accuracy of dynamics and events in the ushering in of the Messiah. We are the waymakers, the trail blazers,the pioneers, the highly obedient Sons and Daughters of the King of the Universe.
Several years ago before I lost my house , I was worshipping the Lord and saw two things. I was observing the clouds in the heavenlies that were heavy with golden drops of firey beads of the Glory of God. They were ready to burst out of the clouds that were so heavy with this that I thought it was any moment. God said the time is not yet but we have only seen a miniscule amount of His Glory.
The clouds represented the intensity and grandeur of what He is bringing. The results of His presence on the earth will be of untold magnitude.
We can not even imagine what He has for us.
In the infant stages that we are currently in , we need to pay close attention . Just like grabbing the top of the wave or jumping into double dutch jump roping.
It is all present and accounted for we need to just step into our part on this stage we have been readied for.
He is giving out instructions, marching orders, tools, wisdom, and every other provison we need. After all He gave Himself for us.
It is a small thing that we would give our life for His service.

The next thing I saw was the KIngdom of heaven not very far off .
I could see the tall buildings and the Glory and Beauty of the Kingdom.
It was nestled, safely off in the Heavenlies.
We are currently going to experience The GREAT I AM and "On earth as it is in Heaven"
On earth as it is in Heaven is a weighty thing because we are participating in removing the idols and the altars of man and man's ways.
We are going to experience the presence of God in such a profound way that we need to make sure we have lost the thinking of our childish ways here on the earth.
We need to be tuned in with Him. We need to know His ways.

The prayers of all the saints from all the centuries, every martyr, and every believer that has gone on before us have all sacrificed for this time that is now starting.
Every human thing produced in the flesh will be done away with where the Kingdom of God is concerned.
Our sacrifice to him is our own lives. So they we may be filled with His nature, His image , His character, for HIs service.
There will be no misunderstanding that He is in charge and He is a God of His word.
He will make Himself known to the nations of the world.
He will be no longer misrepresented.
