The Message of Ezekiel


The Message of Ezekiel

There’s a message of Ezekiel
For God’s people
Ya, there’s a message of Ezekiel
For God’s people
Ezekiel means “God strengthens”
Yes, He even lengthens
The measure of His mercy and grace
For the hope that face to face
He and His Bride
Shall abide and reside.
God said, “Eat that I give thee,
Cause I want My people to see as I see
God said, “Eat that I give thee,
Cause I want My people to be as I be
Through the prophetic art
Of becoming the beat of My heart,
The mind of Messiah, and breath of My Spirit
Every nation shall hear it
And every nation shall tremble
As they see My Body assemble
For My Bride and I have become
One Son
She has become My Holy Habitation
My Chosen Generation,
And Holy Nation
My Kingdom come
My will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Without any form of leaven.


Yet, the church is full of the leaven of sin
It’s time to repent and begin again
The church is full of the leaven of the flesh
It’s time to clean up this filthy mess
Cause I require more than “Sunday’s Best”!
The church is full of the leaven of pride
As you slip and slide
On a roller coaster ride
That’s why I’ve called you to abide
I’ve called you to abide in Me
So that you can truly be
All that I’ve called you to be
In holiness and authenticity
It’s time to repent
So that you can be sent
In the name of the Book that is written of you
Yet, so many of My people don’t even have a clue
That it’s My DNA that I breathed into you
When I released the breath of life
I foresaw the becoming of My wife
With whom I would spend Eternal Life
I foresaw the making of My Bride
Who would continually abide
Not only by My side
But face to face
Due to the measure of My mercy and grace.
Yet, you’re satisfied
With a rollercoaster ride
When it was for the vision of you that I died.
How long will you remain defiled?
How long will you remain exiled
In Babylon
Expecting Me to tag along
As if I’m the One who did you wrong.
Even now I sing to you My Love song.
Oh daughter of Zion,
I come as a Roaring Lion
I shall devour every contender
Who dares call My Bride a pretender.
Repent!  Come back to Me!
For I’ve come to set My captive Bride free!
I’ve come that you may truly be
All that I’ve called you to be
I’ve come that you may
Eat My Word, will and way
I’ve come that you may
Become My Word, will and way
As you worship, eat My Word and pray

There’s a message of Ezekiel
For God’s people
Ya, there’s a message of Ezekiel
For God’s people
Ezekiel means “God strengthens”
Yes, He even lengthens
The measure of His mercy and grace
For the hope that face to face
He and His bride
Shall abide and reside.
God said, “Eat that I give thee,
Cause I want My people to see as I see
God said, “Eat that I give thee,
Cause I want My people to be as I be
Through the prophetic art
Of becoming the beat of My heart,
The mind of Messiah, and breath of My Spirit
Every nation shall hear it
And every nation shall tremble
As they see My Body assemble
For My Bride and I have become
One Son
She has become My Holy Habitation
My Chosen Generation,
And Holy Nation
My Kingdom come
My will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Without any form of leaven.

My Word, will and way is no mystery
Death and hell are swallowed up in Victory
Cause My people are awakened to Truth
That it’s My DNA that I breathed into you
When I released the breath of life
I foresaw the becoming of My wife
With whom I would spend Eternal Life
I foresaw the making of My Bride
Who would continually abide
Not only by My side
But face to face
Due to the measure of My mercy and grace.
Now is the time of preparation
For My Kingdom to rule the nations
Behold a brand new incarnation
Of My Word, Will and Way
Not only in the words that my people say
But through their prophetic demonstration
Of My Heavenly Kingdom nation
For in the Earth
There has been a rebirth
Of My glorious Body and Bride
Who has come forth from My bleeding side.
Although she’s been tested and tried
She has finally learned to abide.
Now is the time for My army
To sound the alarm
By My outstretched arm
I shall bring salvation
To the nations and generations
Every enemy shall be defeated
For I am no longer seated
Heaven’s gates are open wide
And I have risen to take My Bride
I will lead My apostolic army into the last battle
For I have redeemed more than the cattle
On a thousand hills
So, peace be still
As I execute My Word and My Will
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Overcoming every form of leaven
Till the kingdom of the Earth
And all that they are worth
Have become the Kingdom of our Lord
And His Messiah
For no other name is lifted higher
Then Yeshua Hamashiach
Yes!  He shall reign forever and ever
So, never say never.
Cause forever is forever!

There’s a message in Ezekiel
For God’s people
Ya, there’s a message in Ezekiel
For God’s people
God said, “Eat that I give thee,
Cause I want My people to see as I see
God said, “Eat that I give thee,
Cause I want My people to be as I be
Through the prophetic art
Of becoming the beat of My heart,
The mind of Christ, and breath of My Spirit
Every nation shall hear it
And every nation shall tremble
As they see My Body assemble
For My Bride and I have become
One Son
She has become My Holy Habitation
My Chosen Generation,
And Holy Nation
My Kingdom come
My will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Without any form of leaven.

It's Time to Prepare


IT’S TIME TO PREPARE!

Luke 12:39-40 "And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not."  (KJV)

 

Introduction
            By the leading of the Holy Spirit, I arrived in Los Angeles, California late this morning.  Once settled in my hotel room, I began by asking God what to pray.  He replied, “I brought you here to speak to you.  There is a huge youth culture here, and they are UNPREPARED.  Most churches contain the youth.  Some entertain the youth.  But very few TRAIN THE YOUTH.  Thus, they are UNPREPARED.  Meanwhile, the Muslims are TRAINING their youth, and thus the increase of wars and terror amongst the nations…”

UNPREPARED
            The nations are in a constant state of crisis, because they are unprepared to deal with each crisis as it occurs.  As Egypt rejoices in her newfound liberty, she remains UNPREPARED for the next stage of decision-making and leadership.  I heard the Holy Spirit say concerning Egypt, “Will you throw off one bondage for another?”  Whether or not the Body of Christ is ready for this nation’s opportunity for redemption, I can tell you this.  Beyond a shadow of doubt, the ENEMY IS PREPARED!  He has been very patiently WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY SUCH AS THIS!  In fact, the enemy’s greatest advantage is that so often he is more prepared than the Church to decisively act in the state of crisis.  The enemy thrives on crisis.  He strategizes to stir up crisis, always hoping that his greatest threat, the Body of Christ, will be less prepared than he, at that crucial moment, when the state of our families, cities, states and nations are at stake! 
            Likewise, the Church is in a constant state of crisis.  Not only have we failed to prepare ourselves, we have failed to prepare the next generation to step up to the plate of leadership responsibility.  Sadly, crisis in our world is escalating at a rapid rate, and our youth are even less prepared than our generation!  What are we to do?  How are we to prepare them, when we ourselves are not prepared to lead them?
            God is showing me how our nation’s educational system is in a state of crisis.  Why?  Because our students are UNPREPARED!  The Holy Spirit is showing me that children come to school unprepared with even the most basic skills.  Then they move from grade level to grade level, yet unprepared for each new grade, and the greater difficulty of work required at that higher level.  There is much complaint and uproar over the injustice of standardized testing, when the greater injustice is the fact that the students are unprepared for the tests!  God is saying, so it is with the Body of Christ.  How often do we complain about the injustice of life and its constant state of crisis, when the greater injustice is the fact that THE BODY OF CHRIST, who has THE ANSWER is UNPREPARED? 
            Likewise, many of our youth are spiritually UNPREPARED.  God is saying that most churches contain the youth, some entertain the youth, but VERY FEW TRAIN THE YOUTH.  So it is with the adults, as well.  What ever happened to Sunday School?  What ever happened to Bible study?  What ever happened to corporate fasting and prayer?  How often do we go from day to day, week to week, year to year UNPREPARED?  When we ought to be climbing higher, moving from stage to stage of maturity, so many just go through the motions, speaking spiritual rhetoric UNPREPARED to effectively handle the constant state of crisis that defines our real experience.  How often do we shout and dance to our favorite praise music, while slipping and sliding through life?  How often do we speak in unknown tongues without interpretation or understanding of what God is really saying to us?  How often do we listen to inspiring sermons that make us feel oh so good, yet, remain UNPREPARED to fight the war that defines our reality both inside and outside of the church doors?  If we are UNPREPARED for this temporal life, how will we ever be prepared for Eternity?


IT’S TIME TO PREPARE!
            It is time for church to cease from being an event we attend out of habit.  The church must fulfill its God given purpose, by functioning as a TRAINING CENTER.  A couple of years ago the Holy Spirit spoke to me, “These are the last days, and Christian education is the evangelism of today.”  God is saying that we need to enter His 24/7 LIFE Academy.  It’s time for us to enlist in BASIC TRAINING once more.  It’s time for God’s Generals to TRAIN THE ARMY OF GOD!  It’s time for us to enter into His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with praise, expecting to be RAISED to a higher level of service through PREPARATION and TRAINING!  Apostolically speaking, unless our houses of worship are producing TRAINED WORSHIPPERS AND WARRIORS, we have missed the mark clearly set for us through Jesus’ example.  Where are the disciples of today?  There are so many who call themselves Christians, yet so few disciples.  
            Jesus trained disciples, who then trained disciples.  This is the POWER of Apostolic ministry that Jesus modeled for us.  It is through the POWER OF DISCIPLESHIP that Jesus’ ministry STILL CONTINUES TODAY.  We must return to God’s original intent for His Body.  For this is the ONLY WAY that we will be PREPARED for the insurmountable level of crisis that we must face in these last days.  Let us return to the Acts of the Holy Spirit THROUGH the apostles!  Let us return to the BIBLICAL WAY!  Let us repent for having strayed from Jesus, the LIVING WAY.  Let us return today!  The state of our families, cities, states, and nations are at stake!  It is time to awake from our sleep and slumber.  It’s time to CARE!  It’s time to PREPARE!  Enlist in God’s BASIC TRAINING if you dare!  Enlist in God’s 24/7 LIFE Academy if you dare!  For without a doubt it is time to PREPARE!

The Preparing of the Body of Christ


The Preparing of the Body of Christ

Hebrews 10: 4-7 - For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.  This is why, on coming into the world, he says, “It has not been your will to have an animal sacrifice and a meal offering; rather, you have prepared for me a body.  No, you have not been pleased with burnt offerings and sin offerings.  Then I said, ‘Look!  In the scroll of the book it is written about me.  I have come to do your will.’” (CBJ)

Holy Spirit is ministering to me concerning the Body of Christ.  Just as Abba prepared a Body for Yeshua to enter the world as a sacrifice for sin, so it is now.  This former preparation of Yeshua's physical body was a shadow of what was to come.  Holy Spirit is now preparing the Body of Christ for the last battle.  He is preparing His Body through the prophetic art of becoming and the apostolic process of reconciliation.  Holy Spirit is crying out even NOW:  "Will you be PREPARED?  Will you be wholly RECONCILED?  Will you BECOME the Body of Christ in the Earth even as it is in Heaven?"  For the Body of Christ will execute the King's rule in the Earth.  The Body of Christ will manifest the Word, will and way of God in the Earth.  Therefore, we must be aligned to Heaven's rule to BECOME the Body of Christ... The Army of the Lord... that shall be victorious in the last and final battle through which “The kingdom of the world (shall) become the Kingdom of our Lord and his Messiah, and he will rule forever and ever!”

The Prophetic Art of Becoming

The Prophetic Art of Becoming

          God is calling forth a Chosen Generation who will NOT be conformed to the pattern of this world.  They will NOT be conformed to the pattern of religion.  They will NOT be conformed to the pattern of their flesh.  They will NOT be conformed to the pattern of a familiar spirit, BUT they WILL be conformed to the image of God!  They shall SEE GOD and recognize that His image is within them!  They shall SEE GOD and surrender to His working in their lives... the prophetic art of BECOMING who they already are... BECOMING who God designed them to be before the foundation of the world, according to the pattern that is already WRITTEN in Heaven... They will BE in the Earth even as it ALREADY IS in Heaven!  My God!  I can not even describe the magnitude of what God is revealing and releasing in this hour through HIS book, "E. A. T. and Live:  The Prophetic Art of Becoming"!  To God be the glory!


The Rising of My Army


Holy Spirit released the following message during the Voices of Christ Scribal Generals Gathering
The Rising of My Army
            My plans and strategies are being released in the Earth.  Those who are found standing in their rightful places and positions shall receive.  Those who have prepared their hearts… Those who are not found wanting of My precious oil and fragrance of worship and intercession, but those who are found waiting shall receive of Me… Revelation Wisoom understanding, knowledge, which is Me says the Lord.
            I am raising up a unified army that will not cry out, “This is my book.  This is my CD.  This is my ministry.”  They will rise up and declare, “This is God’s Kingdom!  (This is God’s book.  This is God’s CD.  This is God’s ministry.)  This is God’s army.  My scribes will write and publish together not concerned with who is the author other than to know that I AM sent them to declare what I AM saying.  It is My Book and I AM  the Author and Finisher of it all.  Scribes will work in teams to publish My Word.  They will exalt Me as both The Author an Finisher of that Word… without hesitation, fear, or arrogance.  They will be utterly humbled that I infused them and used them to publish My Word in the Earth for such a time as this.
            My army is rising in the Earth.  My army is marching to the beat of My drum in the Earth.  My army is powerful.  They move without limits.  In Me they dwell, move and have their being.  They are united as one, following the Spirit of the Son, their commanding Officer.  They are one with the Son.  For they are His Body… Though they are many sons, I see them as one Son, because they are One with Yeshua.
            I do not see race, color, gender or creed.  I only see the multiplying of My seed in the Earth.  Oh, that they would see Me as I really AM.  For I AM the Great I AM.  Oh that they would see themselves as I see them, as they really are.  No longer marred but whole in me… set at liberty…. Yes, You are free,” says the Lord.

Respectfully Submitted,
Minister Christine Lombard
