WHERE THE GLORY FLOWS

You have seen my wisdom manifest , You have experienced the glory of my ways ,

But now you shall “know” a knowing beyond trust and faith and praise \o/

For I AM positioning you elsewhere , where my glory flows ~ ~ ~ ,

And now you shall experience the fragrance of my rose ,

So go my children and continue to do everything in my way ,

For The Father and I are with you , continue on to sing and pray ,

But remember in this offering there shall forever be ,

A place right here beside me for I AM your Majesty \o/

Exodus 24:15-18

15 When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, 16 and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud. 17 To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain. 18 Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

A WORD FROM THE LORD OF WHAT IS KEEPING THE BODY OF CHRIST FROM HIS FULLNESS

On the 22nd of September 2009 I received this word of revelation concerning gems from heaven and the body of Christ . . . Why am I shedding tears ?These are tears of remission ,They have come close as babyl yet not entered into a oneness with me ,You see " I AM The Good Shepherd " and there can be no other for I AM the Way , The Truth and The Life ... And no man comes unto the father but by Me ! ALL must step aside yeah even the shepherd of this flock that considers himself the covering ! For I AM The covering over man and my angels over woman ! ! ! Such is My love! And it is in this manner I must be followed not led !For there is no Korah in my dominion but a sheep that follows . So is the worship of the King of kings ! Follow Moses example and sing his song with mine for they go together and within is a fragrance only found at my feet .

Deuteronomy 32:1-4

The Song of Moses 1"(A)Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth. 2"(B)Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, (C)As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb. 3"(D)For I proclaim the name of the LORD; (E)Ascribe greatness to our God! 4"(F)The Rock (Jesus)! His work is perfect, (G)For all His ways(facets) are just; (H)A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. Then this word immediately following . . . You will not find me among those looking for their inheritance , no these tribes of my children shall receive but it is lacking and measured . No I shall expand my tentpegs and Tabernacle of glory , " THAT I AM " in the midst of those seeking me alone as their completion and I alone shall complete my work ,place my feet and throne where there is no other ! No shepherd but " That I AM " For I AM The Good Shepherd , pure , blameless ,spotless ,true and faithful ! So come ! " AS ONE " ! without your Korahs ; cast their tents aside and come unto me in a full oneness of worship exhorting me alone for I AM Worthy , The sacrificial Lamb of The Father and I AM The glory of the Father ! "NOW " come in this manner and I shall fill this house and hearts , I Will manifest where I see one heart true undivided and totally submitted to me alone ! So as you are obedient in this I SHALL Speak and Flow ! ! !

My Kohanim are coming soon ,
Dressed in the oil of unity that I pour out with my spoon ,
For soon it will be a river that endlessly flows ,
For my Overcomers to walk in for these are the ones I have chose ,
For as my word they shall share in the all of me ,
A sweet fragrance of victory and obedience for all to see ,
So won’t you enter into this ?
For your obedience to Me shall bring you eternal bliss ,
The gems of my crown I call you ,
And I shall shower them down my ephods(voices) of dew(bread) \o/

Song of Moses
Deuteronomy 32

1 Listen, O heavens, and I will speak;hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Let my teaching fall like rainand my words descend like dew,like showers on new grass,like abundant rain on tender plants.
3 I will proclaim the name of the LORD.Oh, praise the greatness of our God!
4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect,and all his ways are just.A faithful God who does no wrong,upright and just is he.


Deuteronomy 32:5-52 (New International Version)
5 They have acted corruptly toward him; to their shame they are no longer his children, but a warped and crooked generation. [a]
6 Is this the way you repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, [b] who made you and formed you?
7 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. [c]
9 For the LORD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.
10 In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye,
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.
12 The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him.
13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He nourished him with honey from the rock, and with oil from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape.
15 Jeshurun [d] grew fat and kicked; filled with food, he became heavy and sleek. He abandoned the God who made him and rejected the Rock his Savior.
16 They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 The LORD saw this and rejected them because he was angered by his sons and daughters.
20 "I will hide my face from them," he said, "and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
21 They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.
22 For a fire has been kindled by my wrath, one that burns to the realm of death [e] below. It will devour the earth and its harvests and set afire the foundations of the mountains.
23 "I will heap calamities upon them and spend my arrows against them.
24 I will send wasting famine against them, consuming pestilence and deadly plague; I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts, the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.
25 In the street the sword will make them childless; in their homes terror will reign. Young men and young women will perish, infants and gray-haired men.
26 I said I would scatter them and blot out their memory from mankind,
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest the adversary misunderstand and say, 'Our hand has triumphed; the LORD has not done all this.' "
28 They are a nation without sense, there is no discernment in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this and discern what their end will be!
30 How could one man chase a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede.
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are filled with poison, and their clusters with bitterness.
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
34 "Have I not kept this in reserve and sealed it in my vaults?
35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them."
36 The LORD will judge his people and have compassion on his servants when he sees their strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free.
37 He will say: "Now where are their gods, the rock they took refuge in,
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up to help you! Let them give you shelter!
39 "See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.
40 I lift my hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders."
43 Rejoice, O nations, with his people, [f] , [g] for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.
44 Moses came with Joshua [h] son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess."
Moses to Die on Mount Nebo 48 On that same day the LORD told Moses, 49 "Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites. 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel."

THE NATIONS ARE ABOUT TO SEE THROUGH DESTRUCTION GOD'S MAJESTY \o/

A great explosion is about to come ,

Destroying things not of my kingdom ,

Prophecies told about to unfold ,

Things new wiping out the old ,

The storehouses of God's lightning released ,

Disturbing things now resting in peace ,

Ancient walls suddenly cut down ,

Nothing left but burnt glass on the ground ,

As paper mache burnt and blown away ,

A prophecy of the past happening in one day ,

A blink of the eye and nothing left to see ,

Yet all the nations witnessing God's majesty ,

A turning point in a war ,

An incredible change never seen before ,

Not even Sodom and Gomorrah know ,

A judgment this quick a sudden blow ,

Not even time to turn around ,

Yet a sudden removal of land and crown ,

Not even a brick left to restack and lay ,

A choice and a judgment chaff blown away ,

Too little praise their choice in time ,

What once was theirs now is mine ,

Yet what shall rise up from this dust ,

Nothing more of man or his trust ,

But a promise from your God ,

Of a laying down of a staff and rod ,

A renewing of authority ,

My will being done on top of catastrophe ,

A pleasant change and expansion of my kingdom ,

Not man's will but mine being done ,


You speak in riddles you say ?!

But my will shall be done and revealed on this judgment day ,

Let it be known I speak of it in my word ,

So this is nothing that has not been heard ,

Yet another sweeping of the threshing floor ,

As I open heaven and move my sword ,

Much blood will spill within one day ,

Causing chaos and heavenly fear , a great dismay ,

So tell me children what will you do ?

Follow me or follow you ?!

Isaiah 17

Proclamation Against Syria and Israel

1 The burden against Damascus.
“ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap. 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid. 3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the LORD of hosts. 4 “ In that day it shall come to pass That the glory of Jacob will wane, And the fatness of his flesh grow lean. 5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain, And reaps the heads with his arm; It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain In the Valley of Rephaim. 6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it, Like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough, Four or five in its most fruitful branches,” Says the LORD God of Israel. 7 In that day a man will look to his Maker, And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel. 8 He will not look to the altars, The work of his hands; He will not respect what his fingers have made, Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars. 9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough And an uppermost branch, Which they left because of the children of Israel; And there will be desolation. 10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold, Therefore you will plant pleasant plants And set out foreign seedlings; 11 In the day you will make your plant to grow, And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish; But the harvest will be a heap of ruins In the day of grief and desperate sorrow. 12 Woe to the multitude of many people Who make a noise like the roar of the seas, And to the rushing of nations That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters; But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. 14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble! And before the morning, he is no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, And the lot of those who rob us.

A GREAT EXPLOSION OF PURITY IS ABOUT TO COME \O/ HALLELUJAH

A great explosion of purity is about to come ,

But "not" as before(as Katrina) ,something straight from my kingdom ,

The heavenlies are about to applaud ,

I AM The Lord behold I alone am God !

Yet for my children of my rod and staff ,

They shall rest in my bossom of Zion and laugh ,

For the Joy of The Lord is their strength ,

And these are my children of victory that have gone the full length ,

Obedience to me has become their rod ,

My staff is their com(fort) for I AM their God ,

Yet to those lukewarm that have lost their way,

Still captive in their own self-righteousness shall as chaff be blown away !

For to put me on the cross again and again ,

Brings upon these a bitter end ,

So be assured that within one day ,

My will shall be done in an amazing way ,

So now you shall see a "wave " not a wind of Purity ,

Wash away all that is not of me ,

Rescues from this shall be divine and complete ,

Yet darkness swept away from my places and feet ,

A great demise for the rebellious and spirit void ,

For The Fear of The Lord wrather than bringing understanding leaves them blind and annoyed ,
So be advised before hand ,

As My prophets speak and I sweep the land ! ! !

Jeremiah 10

Idols and the True God

1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the LORD:
“ Do not learn the way of the Gentiles; Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. 4 They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple. 5 They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good.” 6 Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might), 7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, There is none like You. 8 But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine. 9 Silver is beaten into plates; It is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, The work of the craftsman And of the hands of the metalsmith; Blue and purple are their clothing; They are all the work of skillful men. 10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.
11 Thus you shall say to them: “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.” 12 He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion. 13 When He utters His voice, There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
“ And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”[a] 14 Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them. 15 They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish. 16 The Portion of Jacob is not like them, For He is the Maker of all things, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; The LORD of hosts is His name. The Coming Captivity of Judah 17 Gather up your wares from the land, O inhabitant of the fortress!
18 For thus says the LORD:

“ Behold, I will throw out at this time The inhabitants of the land, And will distress them, That they may find it so.” 19 Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is severe. But I say, “Truly this is an infirmity, And I must bear it.” 20 My tent is plundered, And all my cords are broken; My children have gone from me, And they are no more. There is no one to pitch my tent anymore, Or set up my curtains. 21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted, And have not sought the LORD; Therefore they shall not prosper, And all their flocks shall be scattered. 22 Behold, the noise of the report has come, And a great commotion out of the north country, To make the cities of Judah desolate, a den of jackals. 23 O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. 24 O LORD, correct me, but with justice; Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing. 25 Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, who do not know You, And on the families who do not call on Your name; For they have eaten up Jacob, Devoured him and consumed him, And made his dwelling place desolate.

Isaiah 11
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

BE PREPARED TO WAR AS NEVER BEFORE

Your going to see things move very quickly now for I AM at the fronT of this battle against darkness and the taking back of my land .


Be prepared to war against the enemy as never before and remember the armor of Jericho for the walls of the enemies encampments Shall go down in great tumult amidst your war cries and the blast of the trumpet for you are my shofars of delight .


 Now do my bidding and assault the fortresses of kerioth and lance all her rulers that " Lie " within her by the filling of my spirit and the washing of my water as my Blood( Testimony of Jesus Christ , Coals of fire from the throne ) touches their lips for it is a new and better covenant I bring to these nations(people)and Land .



 Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war" ! "Wake up the mighty men", let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.  Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am strong." Assemble and come, all you nations, and gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O LORD. Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe."
  Joel 3:9-13




Amos 2:1-3


21THUS SAYS the Lord: For three transgressions of Moab [descendants of Lot] and for four [for multiplied delinquencies], I will not reverse the punishment of it or revoke My word concerning it, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom [Esau’s descendant] into lime.2So I will send a fire upon Moab and it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth, and Moab shall die amid uproar, shouting, and the sound of the trumpet.
3And I will cut off the ruler from its midst and will slay all its princes with him, says the Lord.

Amos 2:9 (Amplified Bible)9Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath.

Choose this day Jesus The Word and originator ! Author and finisher Not a book or version !

Origination

Origination comes from Me not a book or verse yes from relationship for as my Word ( Jesus ) I knew you before you were formed is a deep depth not easily understood .

So do not put any graven image before ME for I AM God Alone and no paper bound hard or soft , scrolled or spoken comes before Me alone , for as Moses saw the light so must you to " Truly " be saved says The Lord of hosts for the great cloud of witnesses witness Me first in " spirit " and this alone is TRUTH Says The Lord God Almighty !


To see Me " is " Reality ! ! !


Seek MY Face

John 5:39-40 (Amplified Bible)
39You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!
40And still you are not willing [but refuse] to come to Me, so that you might have life.




Jeremiah 1:4-19 (Amplified Bible)

4Then the word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying,
5Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.(A)
6Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth.(B)
7But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8Be not afraid of them [their faces], for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
9Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10See, I have this day appointed you to the oversight of the nations and of the kingdoms to root out and pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
11Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter].
12Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
13And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and the face of it is [tipped away] from the north [its mouth about to pour forth on the south, on Judea].
14Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north the evil [which the prophets had foretold as the result of national sin] shall disclose itself and break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15For, behold, I will call all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come and set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls round about, and against all the cities of Judah [as God's judicial act, a consequence of Judah's wickedness].
16And I will utter My judgments against them for all the wickedness of those who have forsaken Me, burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands [idols].
17But you [Jeremiah], gird up your loins! Arise and tell them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed and break down at the sight of their faces, lest I confound you before them and permit you to be overcome.
18For I, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city and an iron pillar and bronze walls against the whole land--against the [successive] kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land [giving you divine strength which no hostile power can overcome].(C)
19And they shall fight against you, but they shall not [finally] prevail against you, for I am with you, says the Lord, to deliver you.

2 Chronicles 7:13-15 (New International Version)
13 "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

Psalm 24:4-7 (New International Version)
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. [a]
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. [b] Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

Hosea 5:14-15 (New International Version)
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.
15 Then I will go back to my place until they admit their guilt. And they will seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me."
