The Devotion of the Queen



"In her heart she boasts,
'I sit enthroned as queen...
I will never mourn.'
Therefore in one day...
she will be consumed...
for mighty is the Lord
God who judges her."

(Revelation 18:7-8)


"Many of My children who profess My name
have prostituted themselves to gain authority.
They have chosen power, violence, and domination.
They trust in their object of devotion,
believing they will receive authority
from their new husband and king.

They have trusted in their idols,
but their idols will not save them.
What they have sold themselves for
will turn against them.
In one day destruction will overtake them,
and they will be consumed.

Cry out, My people!
Cry out, My servants!
Cry out, My prophets!

All you who hold to faith in My son
and keep My commands, cry out!
Testify against their adultery!

Call My beloved
but drunken children
to repent!"

A Call to Stand and Prophesy



"My people who can hear My heart,
I am calling you to prophesy:
I am calling you to speak My words,
to cry aloud My truth,
to rebuke and call to repentance
those who call Me 'Lord, Lord'
but have forsaken My commands of love.

I am calling you to testify;
I am calling you to witness to who I am,
for many who call Me 'Lord'
do not know My ways or My heart.
I am calling you to proclaim
My teachings and My mercy,
and that judgment is coming:

I will raise up high those
who have been oppressed;
I will bring low those
who have been unmerciful;
I will uncover what has been hidden,
revealing the hearts of many
and judging those who love lawlessness.

Stand and prophesy, My people;
call your brothers and sisters
back to obeying My law
to love one another as I loved you
even while you were My enemies.
Stand and weep for the nations
their cold love has wounded in My name.

I am calling you to prophesy
because many speaking in My name
are prophesy falsely, as they serve
the gods of pride, nationalism, greed,
the image of Me they have made,
and the ungrace and violence
they believe earns My favor.

Do not be afraid, My people;
many will hate you in My name,
but many will also hear My heart,
and their hearts will turn to Me,
to their neighbors, to their enemies,
to the wounded and the least of these,
and I will save and comfort many."

"Rejoice With Her!"



Hallelujah! The exiles have returned
Returned to the homeland
Hallelujah! The persecuted are home
Now they have a home of their own

Hallelujah! They will possess the land
All of the land will be their home
Hallelujah! They will drive out its people
All those who stand in their way

Hallelujah! They will possess the homes
All of the homes where others dwell
Hallelujah! Young and old shall flee
Flee before those whom God favors

Hallelujah! Mother and child shall run
Young men and elders, too
Hallelujah! They shall have no home
For they dared to resist Israel

Hallelujah! They cannot withstand
The arms, missiles and tear gas
Hallelujah! They cannot survive
Without power, medicine and electricity

Hallelujah! For Israel can control
Who comes and who goes out
Hallelujah! For Israel can restrict
Their people from receiving money

Hallelujah! The occupation by force
Will squeeze life out of the remnant
Hallelujah! The settlers push further
Armed and taking back the land

Hallelujah! Israel is protected
By allies who give her arms and aid
Hallelujah! She cannot be condemned
The nations cannot stop her

Hallelujah! The people of the "Christ"
Don't want to see any of her crimes
Hallelujah! They refuse to believe
And only blame the oppressed

Hallelujah! For Israel is free
She has been given license to sin
Hallelujah! Prophecy is being fulfilled
And this shall bring about the end

Hallelujah! She can act like a beast
And her protector like a beast, too
Hallelujah! Who can stand against them?
Against them no one can make war

Hallelujah! The congregations boast
This alliance shall not fail
Hallelujah! No one is like her
And her wound has been healed

Hallelujah! A new law, it reigns
The law of "Christ" cannot be applied
Hallelujah! "Love" is called cold
"Christ" is replaced with "Israel's side"

—the spirit of apostasy

Decrease



"My people,

You are My precious children
and I love you more than you will
ever be able to understand.

I am going to let your influence
in your nation decrease
even further than you have seen.

I am going to allow those whom you
consider My enemies to gain
more power and high position.

I am going to allow laws
to be passed which will
seem godless to you.

I am not punishing you.
Instead I am drawing you
back to the gospel.
I am wooing you away
from the other lovers
you have given yourselves to—
politics, position and the law.

Will you pursue Me
or will you continue to
pursue your other lovers?

I am waiting for you at the Cross."

The Ministry of Confusion



"My children who don't know Me
cannot hear Me in America!
Who has deafened their ears?

My servants share My heart
but their voice is drowned out!
Why can their trumpet not be heard?

Is it not because many who speak My name
have led My people into confusion?
Is it not because My love cannot be heard
amid the trumpets of false prophets?

Many among My people
proclaim the doctrines of
nationalism, greed, and war!

Many among My people
teach devotion to Israel
instead of love for all people!

Many among my people
witness to a different 'Christ'!

My beloved little ones in America
are becoming weary of hearing My name
because of the words and deeds of Babylon!

They do not hear the things
that bring healing;
they do not hear the things
that make for peace;
they do not hear the things
of My Spirit—

Instead they hear
the law of condemnation;
instead they hear
the trumpets of war;
instead they hear the preaching
of the spirit of the Antichrist!

My commands and My ways
have become offensive
to many among My people;
they have plugged up their ears
and are shouting the doctrines of their 'Christ'
so that they don't have to hear My voice!

Woe! Woe! Woe!"

The Fall of Babylon



"Woe! Woe! Woe to you
who have spent yourselves
trying to take dominion in
the places of power in the nations!

Woe to you who have by tried
to impose what you believe is My 'kingdom'
on those who have not known Me!

Woe to you who have used the law
to control those who need My love!
Woe to you who have prostituted yourselves
trying to gain My favor by "standing with Israel"!

Woe to you because the power
you have sold yourselves to gain
will turn against you
when you are no longer useful!

Woe! Woe to you, My beloved children,
for you have given your hearts
to those who do not love you as I love you!

Woe! Woe because you have been a beast
and you have built Babylon!
But the beast you have worshiped
will eat you and devour your flesh,
and will throw you off its back
to be plundered by the nations!

Renounce your ways and return to the Cross!
Repent of your harlotry!
Repent before sudden destruction overtakes you!"

She Who Rides On The Beast

"Listen, My beloved, and I will tell you
about the prostitution of My people.
My beloved was persecuted by those
who had vowed to shepherd her.
I picked her up and removed her
from the house of her abusers.
I taught her My wisdom and set her
on the rock of My one and only Son.
She stood in My strength and broke free
from the bondage and the lies she was taught.

"A Better Covenant"

As her understanding grew,
she began to systemize what I had taught her.
But she did not wait for Me to reveal
what I had sealed for the end of time,
and she began to insatiably desire
to have all the prophecies interpreted.
She sought explanation of the end times
more than she sought Me,
and listened to teachers who gave her
the answers her heart coveted.
She began to build new foundations
further and further from the Rock.
She found her assurance and anchor
in their interpretations instead of
in what My Son did for her on the cross.



She fashioned and formed
a new image based on the circumcision,
dividing My people and My word.
She invented a new hope for herself
beyond what I had promised her,
and made the circumcision into
the only hope for the rest of the world.
Her theology replaced My Son
as she reshaped the gospel:
He became the way to bring about
the exaltation of the chosen people,
instead of being the Chosen One
to whom the prophets pointed
and who died for all of mankind.



Many years later when the circumcision
sought to return to their homeland,
My beloved believed it was the fulfillment
of her interpretations of the prophets.
The image she had created seemed to come to life,
and she gave herself in devotion to her new lover.
My beloved had fallen in love with the image
she had created of 'Israel' in her heart.



She set aside My Son and His commands
and stepped away from My teachings—
the house built on the one and only Rock.
She put her faith in her teachings
and the house she had built on the sand;
she prepared for the day of flooding
by putting her trust in 'the chosen people'
instead of in the Chosen One.



As Israel became like the beasts
who had persecuted him in the past
in order to regain his land,
My beloved also became unthinking and unfeeling,
like brute beasts whose only law was
to prostitute herself to the desires of a beast.
She placed herself upon his back,
and as a rider led by the untamed desires of her mount,
she rode wherever the 'chosen ones' led her
instead of staying upon the one and only immovable Rock.
From atop her new mount
she declared his wonders and praises.
When he went into battle she supported him;
when he was victorious she declared,
"Who is like him, and who can stand against him?"



To those who did not follow him,
she proclaimed curses and used her wealth
to block their power to trade.
Those who favored him she rewarded
with her buying and her selling,
dividing the nations on his behalf.
She marked herself on the forehead with her beliefs
and upon her right hand with her actions.
She judged all mankind in the same way she judged herself—
marked by whether they honored the circumcision
instead of whether they honored the Lamb and His commands.
My people exchanged the kingdom I had given them
for the earthly kingdom of Israel.



I cried through many messengers
for My people to return to the truth.
But My people would not turn from their idolatry.
Every rebuke I sent was judged as being critical;
questioning Israel was considered blasphemous,
and My messengers were accused of being anti-Semitic.
My people became proud of their determination
to never turn from their theology.



Those who have prophesied to My people
that they must "stand with Israel"
—they are the Antichrist.
I did not prophesy through them
and tell My people to follow Israel.
They have deceived many of My people.
They have lured my people
from the Rock to rebellion.
They have set up in My temple
their own image of Israel.
They have turned my people from the cross,
and their rebellion will bring desolation.



My beloved!
My precious beloved!
Do not be destroyed for lack of knowledge!
Those who teach you to follow Israel
instead of walking in My commands
—they are deceiving you!
They have set you on the path
that ends in desolation
instead of the path that leads to life!
They have taught you to ignore the spirit
of the one who comes to steal, kill and destroy!
Turn back to My ways!
Turn back to My ways!
Repent!"

The Bride and the Seduced



"The time has come of apostasy,
falling away and rebellion.
Lawless ones have come
from inside of the temple
and departed from the teaching
of the apostles of the Lamb.

Many are being seduced by
the temptations I resisted:

I refused to use the power of My Spirit
for My own personal gain,
but today many who call themselves 'anointed'
use My name and spiritual power
as a means of gaining wealth
and whatever miracles they lust after.

I refused to abuse My Father's trust
by acting reckless and expecting His protection,
but today many who call themselves 'God’s people'
mistreat and exploit their neighbors
instead of loving and serving them,
and expect not to reap what they sow.

I refused to serve Satan
and disregard My Father's commands,
but today many who claim to be part of My Kingdom
seek to take dominion over the lands,
peoples and kingdoms of the earth,
and so bow to Satan instead of to Me.

Those who have been seduced
appear prosperous and strong.
They cannot see the darkness
that surrounds them,
or the clouds of judgment
gathering overhead.

Cry out, My servants,
cry out for your brothers and sisters
who have become prostitutes!

Stand among them as witnesses
just as I dwelt among you
and made intercession for you.

Follow the Lamb:
love and weep for those in Babylon
just as I loved and wept for Jerusalem."

"I Want You To Be Free"



"My beloved,
you are at the center of My heart!

Though you have turned to prostitution,
though you have given yourself to other lovers,
though you have sold your soul for wealth,
yet I still love you!

I see you in your spiritual poverty,
captive to your lusts,
but I do not despise you!
You are still My beloved,
the one I want to be with forever.

"Is not Ephraim my dear son,
the child in whom I delight?
Though I often speak against him,
I still remember him.
Therefore my heart yearns for him;
I have great compassion for him,"
declares the Lord.
"Set up road signs; put up guideposts.
Take note of the highway, the road that you take.
Return, Virgin Israel, return to your towns.
How long will you wander,
unfaithful Daughter Israel?"

(Jeremiah 31:20-22)


Beloved, I want you to know
how much I love you;
I want you to be healed,
and I want you to be free."

Exploited



"My people are treating Me like a prostitute:

They believe and teach that if they
put down the right amount of payment
in tithes, principles and declarations,
then they have the right to My favors.
They see Me as a tool for their own pleasure
and attempt to force Me to submit to them.

I am wanted for My services
instead of for My heart."

Prophesied Movement



"My beloved in Charismatic churches,

"You have sought me with great eagerness
to see the power of My Spirit,
and I have touched many lives through your prayers
and through your faith in My power.
You have prophesied in My name,
driven out demons and performed many miracles.
But many of you do not know Me,
and I do not know many of you.

"Many of you have sought power without discernment.
As a result you are at the forefront of the great apostasy:
more than any other kind of 'Christian'
you are immersed in prophesying politics,
seeking the riches of the world,
and encouraging war against flesh and blood.

"You have sought the manifestation of My Spirit,
but you have often missed the spirit of My Spirit!
Because you have sought the 'signs' of My Spirit
more than the heart of My Spirit,
you do not know when you are being led astray
into lawlessness and rebellion.

"Turn around! Turn around!
Return to your first love!
Return to My spirit!"

"This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart
and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face
and then goes to a prophet,
I the Lord will answer him Myself
in keeping with his great idolatry.
I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel,
who have all deserted Me for their idols."
(Ezekiel 14:4-5)
