Shout Ahead - Echo Behind

SHOUT AHEAD - ECHO BEHIND

There are forerunners who shout the message ahead, and there are those [successors] who hear the message and repeat it for those who did not hear it the first time and the message of the forerunners is echoed, much like a relay race. This is the duty of all watchmen. This way the entire body of Christ hears the message of the King. The message may be an exhortation, instruction or a warning.

When the Head [Christ Jesus the Messiah] speaks, that message will resound throughout the body of Christ, for our King speaks once, twice yet men regard it not. [Job 33:14] He continually and faithfully speaks.

We have ears to hear, eyes to see and a mouth to warn. It is time to take a stand. Either we KNOW whom we serve or we must choose THIS day whom we will serve.

We are many voices, united as one, with the same message. It is not about competition. It is about obedience to the King and salvation of souls. People, HEAR. People, DO! An army that is divided will be destroyed, just as a house that is divided will not stand. Put aside petty differences to unite
for it IS time. IT IS TIME TO UNITE FOR THE HOUR IS LATE!

SHOUT AHEAD - ECHO BEHIND

It Is TIME! [Hear the sound of the trumpet (shofar)]

It is time for the warriors to rise up!

It is time for the prophets to rise up!

It is time for the watchmen to rise up!

It is time for the wise virgins to check their lamps for oil!

Be who you are meant to be. My children are to be watchmen and warriors. I promised to pour out My Spirit upon sons and daughters in the last days and they would prophesy. Drink of My living water and be refreshed. Feed on My word and spend much time with Me to gain strength, wisdom, knowledge and discernment. Dark days approach for My judgment is going forth. The trumpets have sounded and shall continue.

Pray for wisdom and understanding. Pray for more discernment.

The enemy has drawn a line in the sand. He is a counterfeiter, for he knows that it is he that has a line that he cannot cross, for I am God and there is no other. Satan cannot do anything that I do not allow. Do not try to know My thoughts or ways, for My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are higher than your ways.

Take your stand. You have seen that the battle is raging. You have been fighting your battles and have grown weary in this war. This is not the time for fear and unbelief. Fear and unbelief must go; faith and trust must be!

Be still and know that I am God. Drink of My water [word] to soothe your dry lips. Feed upon My word to strengthen your spirit. Keep your armor on. Take your stand. Link up together with other warriors and watchmen. Hear the prophets, but test every spirit to see if it is of Me or not, for there are many false ones. The true body must be unified! Time is short and is of an essence!

Rise up, o army!

Rise up, o army!

Rise up, o army! In the power of your God, for My glory. Refresh yourself in Me so you CAN rise up and stand! To be who you are meant to be – the remnant . Many will fall away in the last times. Many have already and more shall fall away, just as My Son Jesus [your Yshua] foretold. You have a specific part to do. Do what you are called to do! Put on the full armor so that you may defeat the fiery darts of the enemy. I, the Lord, am calling you forth.

It is time to walk in the authority given to you by Christ who lives in you. It is time to open your eyes and see; unplug your ears and hear the deception that the enemy, satan has been trying to disillusion you with. Remember that he is the accuser: remember that he seeks to defeat you so that he may devour you [destroy your faith]. If you believe him, you shall be disillusioned, discouraged, weary and therefore weakened by him who wants you deceived. Selah

I know and have seen the praise, honor and glory you have given to Me. Let My glory and honor fall upon your face, as you seek Me and spend time in My presence. I am the King of Light and Glory. When you turn from any unrighteousness, I, your Lord God, will forgive. 

My fire and glory are ready to fall upon My people, My children; the precious Bride [Body] of Christ. Remember that I inhabit the praises of My people. My Holy Spirit is in this place. When I, your Lord God am silent, shut out rising fears and doubt. BE STILL and know that I AM God!

You, My army, My body, My elect are My crowning glory. I desire for you to rise up and take your rightful position with your God-given authority, which is in My Christ, My beloved Son - yes, Christ in you, the hope of glory.

The remnant is rising up. This is not a time for compromise [with the world or with your God]. This is not the time for complacency. This is not the time to turn away. This is not the time to be playing with the world. This is not the time to be neutral! [neutral is lukewarm, which I shall spue such as this out of My mouth]. In war, neither side can trust someone who is neutral because they can turn to either side at whim (turncoat).  Lukewarm - I shall spue such out of My mouth.


So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth [Rev 3:16]

Repentance is a must, for if My people will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven and forgive their sins and will heal their land. [2 Chron 7:14] So few will keep a repentant heart and few will remain upon the narrow path, for the path does indeed become much narrower the closer you get to Me. This is so you will be entirely dependent upon Me, for without Me you cannot walk in any true power!

I am ready! Are you? I, the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob am calling you forth! For those who do seek Me… those who humble themselves, searching their hearts, and turning from their wicked ways (all unrighteousness), there is forgiveness granted. Now listen carefully. You have waited on Me… this is the time! Now is the time for the Son of man to shine forth in and through the remnant, in and through His Bride, in and through His people, with His glory!

I desire you to pray more and to spend more time with Me. Will you or will you allow your spirit man and the enemies of your soul and enemies of the cross to distract you, tempt you and draw you away from Me? What is priority in your life? Think hard before you answer. Yes, My children, there is a cost. Are you greater than your Messiah?

Rise up to a new level. Heaven is ready to break open with the latter and the former rain to pour out great blessings! It is time. The time is fast approaching for My people to do the greater works, yes, great exploits. Let My glory and honour fall upon you, for I shall rest in this place. 

The angels have gone ahead of you and have prepared the way because I, the Lord have spoken it. My judgment has begun and the increase of it shall shake and horrify even the very elect, which is why you must have your feet upon the Rock and be grounded in Me. I am your shield and your strong refuge. I alone shall direct you. It is to your best interest to obey.

Time is short! Time is short! 

You, My people, My children are called to be watchmen. Humble yourself and admit you need Me. Where will you go without Me and how shall you know when to go? How will you know whether to stay or whether to leave? How will you know what to speak and when to speak? Who will you turn to in your time of trouble? 

Come, My children, come to Me. I await you. If you prefer to be disobedient, then you shall reap that which you have sown. Disobedience will bring destruction, even death. Obedience will bring blessing. This you know, yet I ask you, do you need reminding of this? When My prophet Daniel spoke of the latter days and how the enemy would wear down the saints, how do you think the enemy will do it?

If all is going well in your life, do you not think that he will weary you from spending time with Me?


Suddenly, life will not seem so bad.
Suddenly, there are MANY things that interest you.
Suddenly, fellowshipping with true believers in the true body of Christ seems ho-hum.
Suddenly, you are too tired for very long prayers.
Suddenly there are people who seem extremely attractive and interesting.
Suddenly your time with Me will become less and less.

Suddenly you will think, 'God knows who I am. I will just wait for Him to show me stuff or speak with me whatever way He chooses, but meanwhile, there are places to go, people to see, things to do. After all, the world as we know it is changing for the worst; might as well do some stuff I've always wanted to do while I still can'.

Or are you in an onslaught of everything seemingly being pulled away from you and surely all seems against you? Are you heavy laden most of the time and feeling that nothing makes sense? Have you thought that you might go crazy or even that perhaps you already are? Do you wonder what your purpose is and what you are doing for Me?

Are you in a panic over all that you hear and all that you see happening? Does it keep you fearful and away from seeking Me, or hinder your prayers as faith and trust waiver?
Do you see the two sides of the coin? Yea, but that coin is the one that never gets lost, does it? Either everything is coming against you or life is full of pleasantries, good things, temptations. Wearing down, wearing down, wearing down. Both strategies are to keep you from spending time with Me.

If you are greatly distracted in pleasant ways, My children, I warn you to beware. Seek first the kingdom of God and My righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. Do you think yourself too wise? Remember Solomon, in all his wisdom, married women who worshipped other gods and he sought to honor them by building temples and graven images to their false gods. He began to fall away from Me. Are you wiser than Solomon?

To you who are weary, I say come closer to Me. Press in and abide, clinging to the true Vine. Have you given up hope? Have you laid down your hopes and dreams? Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him. [Ps 126:5,6] 

The answer lies in seeking Me, repenting and waiting upon Me (so many weary in waiting). But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint  [Is 40:31]

As you seek Me humbly and repent, I will lift you up. If there is nothing to repent of, give thanks for the work I have done in you. Be on guard for temptations will always come. Pray that you would not be led into temptation.

As you seek Me and trust Me, I will guide your steps. As you obey Me, victory is sure. These are the days where the sons of God are manifesting; the remnant is chosen, the Bride is being prepared, lamps are being checked, flasks must be filled with oil!  

At the same time that this great evil is overwhelming all the world in its entirety, miracles of salvation, healing, restoration and deliverance shall be and are now happening. Now is the time. Now is the season. 

The greater works that were spoken of; and indeed, all that you heard that the apostles of My Christ did, are about to manifest globally as My people go forth in My power and authority. For as great tribulation comes upon the earth, the greater works and My judgment upon the nations shall bring many into the valley of decision and many shall indeed be saved, just as many were saved when they experienced or witnessed the miracles of Christ Jesus [Yshua].

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. [Joel 3:14]


You have persevered through much trial and tribulation, yet have not seen the promise (personal promise) I spoke to you. But this is the hour and the day to rise up, for surely if you do not faint, the promise will arrive. The vision does not tarry. In due time, it shall be. It will not be late.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. [Hab2:3]

Begin to prophesy as My Spirit gives you words to speak. Stay in the word for never do I go against My word, for it is Spirit and it is truth. Abide in My Son, Jesus/Y'shua, for He is the Word come in the flesh.

When My Spirit gives you words to speak, they will come forth in proper season. Beware of false prophets. Again, I warn you to try every spirit to see if it be of Me or not. Things will come forth at My command when you stand in faith and obedience to Me.  So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. [Is 55:11]

For those of you who have been waiting a long time – it is time. Now is the time to cling to Me and bring forth in travail. Rise up and stand. As a woman in travail, all seems overwhelming. Begin to push and go through. Begin to stand on My word and call it forth, for IF I have spoken to you about it, then it is I alone who will BRING it forth. 

Your part is to simply stand in faith, trust Me and obey My commandments and instructions; it is I that does the work. Let your faith produce the works, the fruit of faith is obedience as you trust in Me. Do your part and I shall undoubtedly do Mine for I am called Faithful and True. Selah

Do not say I am too busy, neither say that I am too weary. Do not say I cannot do this. Do not say that you believe a lie, if I have confirmed it in My word, in your spirit and through My prophets. Yet, I caution you… do NOT look to man or to the arm of flesh, for flesh shall fail you. Look to Me, for I cannot fail for My arm is not shortened that it cannot save. 

My sheep know My voice and another they will not follow. If you have been faithful to humble yourself and seek Me, with a repentant heart, then you must simply trust your Lord Christ Jesus and obey.  I shall direct your steps. For through Him, you speak to Me, your heavenly Father. Precious is the blood of My Lamb.

My Spirit is flowing, filling you. Receive strength, wisdom, discernment and courage. And when you have done all – stand.

Though once you were children of disobedience, now you are children who obey. Now is the time My children to rise up, for lo, I go before you always. Be all I created you to be. For your victory is through and by the shed blood of My Son and the WORD of your testimony. 

Speak My word for it shall not return void but prosper where it is sent. There is much work to do. Arise and go forth! Now you are awake. Now arise! Go forth and awaken the others for the midnight hour fast approaches and the darkest of times shall be upon the nations.

Yes, test every spirit. This is repeated so that you will automatically do it.

Who points you to the cross and the finished work? Who sent the Christ who poured out His blood for the sins of mankind? Who tells you to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Who tells you that the day shall come when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [Yshua the Messiah] is King of kings and Lord of lords? 

Who warns of the second death, the lake of fire, while crying out to repent and turn back humbly to your Creator and King, so that you may be forgiven and saved?

Who holds the stars in the heavens? Who orders the winds and the seasons? Who calls things that are not as though they were?

Who sent the One who took the keys of hell and death from satan? Who gives the victory before the battle? Who knows the end from the beginning? Would any devil or satan himself tell you that I am the answer to all these questions and that Christ Jesus is the One who shed His blood for remission of sins to reconcile mankind with their Creator?

Yea, I AM the Lord God of Abraham,  Isaac and Jacob. I AM the Lord God of Israel. I AM HE. Beside Me there is no other god. I will not share My glory with another. I AM that I AM.

Rebellion is as witchcraft. Unbelief rides with fear, which will lead to rebellion. Fear has torment. SELAH

Satan is king and lord over fear, unbelief and rebellion. He rises up with great pride, full of hate and fury. He will try to bring My people into fear, unbelief and rebellion and many there are who will fall for this deception.  Many shall fall away.

Trust Me in the things I tell you in My word. Trust Me in the things I have spoken to you personally, for it does not contradict My word. I know your frailties. Obey Me in all details. Begin this day. Step by step. Faith to faith and from glory to glory.

When I say to trust Me, I mean just that. When I give the victory and say that victory is sure, there is no room for unbelief, for even the slightest doubt will be magnified by flesh and evil principalities and powers. 

Even the smallest doubt would then be a seed for a harvest of unbelief, if it is not destroyed in seed form. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ [2Cor10:5]

Who is the master of illusions? Who is he that hates mankind and desires to see My plan for their salvation thwarted? Yea, surely and truly, My Son died for the sins of mankind and thru Him, all that believe will be saved.

Yet, there is a work to do to hold onto your salvation. Why are so many falling away? Why is love waxing cold? Why are so many tossed to and fro? Why are so many following after false signs and wonders?

They do not press in. They neither search their hearts nor humble themselves with a broken and contrite heart in repentance. They do not abide in the Vine. They seek signs and wonders that they might believe more deeply and prove Me. Yea, but I say, seek not that which pleases the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. 

Again and repeatedly, I say to seek ye first My kingdom and My righteousness, and all these things [signs, miracles, prayers answered] shall be added unto you. I am He who forgives and heals. I am He who will lift up the humble. Obedience is better than sacrifice, and hearkening [listening] better than the fat of rams. I shall guide you step by step, as you trust and obey Me.

Remember that you are a a holy nation, a chosen generation, a peculiar people. If I AM for (with) you, who can be against you? Die to self My children… there IS a cost. Die to gain life, go forward. There is a cost to do the greater works. The dividing is happening, has happened and shall continue to happen. Sheep are being separated from the goats; tares are being separated from the wheat and there is even a dividing happening amongst the sheep. The remnant is being chosen. I am sealing them with the baptism of fire and My Holy Spirit.

Now is the time! You were indeed brought into the kingdom for such a time as this; indeed you were born for such a time as this. Hear what the Spirit is saying. You have chosen which side you are on. Now is the time to be empowered to DO all that you cried out for… You desired truth. 

You desired ME to fill you, change you, purify and purge you of all wood, hay and stubble. You desired I mold you, as the potter with the clay. You desired for all imperfections, every spot and blemish to be removed; to be refined as silver and purified as gold (silver and gold must be put through intense fire, to be refined and purified).

You desired to do greater works so that I would be glorified through you. You prayed for protection and to be considered worthy to escape the things which are coming. My children, do your part in faith and obedience. Abstain from all unrighteousness. I know you. In saying this, you need not fear the day you shall stand before Me. I will not say, 'Go from Me; I do not know you.'

The fire has been long and uncomfortable. At times it has been confusing and frustrating, yet you are not burned. The water has not overtaken you. You will experience this again, for there is a process to refining and purifying.  Be brave and strong!

The sword that is worthy and mighty in battles, [and in war] is the sword that has been molded, and purified and hardened in fire and in water. I have chosen My vessels. I have perfected My instruments…

Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abides not the fire ye shall make go through the water. [Num 31:23]

Remember, it is written…

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places  [Eph 6:12]

No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that rises up against you in judgment, you shall condemn; for this is the heritage of My servants and your righteousness is of Me. [Is 54:17]

For you shall OVERCOME him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony, you shall not love your life unto death. [Rev 12:11]

Why look at the natural? It is ever-changing. Look into the spiritual, for I am the same yesterday, today and forever. Call things that are not as though they were. Where is your faith? Where is your love? Shall you not go forth in victory? I have told you of the victory, just as I did the warriors before you. 

They sought their God, just as you are told to seek Me. I assured them of the victory – THEN they went to battle. Thusly, I have told you also, but you struggle to believe the impossible. Yea, with man it is impossible, but with Me all things are possible.

In order to move into the LIFE and the POWER I have promised you, you must DIE TO SELF; put to death the old man so the new may come forth. Every part of your being is crying out. You cannot give up on what you hope for; for you believe My words, yet satan and his strongmen entice you (just as satan did Eve), 'Has God said?'

Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. It is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit… [says the Lord of hosts]

And no man puts new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. [Lk 5:37]

It is written that the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Many will speak this saying you cannot trust yourself. Who lives in you? Who is He that searches the heart? Who is He that sees the heart and knows you better than you know yourself. For after it is said about the heart being deceitful, it is written that I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins (test the will/mind) , even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. [Jer 17: 9, 10]

Who knows the number of hairs upon your head? Did I not say that before you were in the womb I knew you? Did I not say that it is I, the Almighty God who formed you in the womb and brought you forth?

Set your face like a flint [determination] and seek the Lord your God with prayer and supplications, and with fasting; with humility [sack cloth] and lowliness [ashes]

I am here with you. I hold your hand as a child and shield you under the shadow of My wing, as a hen does her chicks. I protect you.

Do in the physical what I have required of you. That is obedient faith. It is done in the spiritual, for it is I alone who does the work and brings it forth.

Cross over your Jordan and leave your wilderness. Once you pass over, abide in Me and see what your faith and obedience brings. You will see full restoration, healing, deliverance…body soul and spirit.

Yes, it is a great thing you believe for. Yes, it is a great promise, yet if you desire to do the greater works, there is a cost. Lay down your life and you shall gain it. Through it all, I shall be glorified.

In these days, you have felt a great heaviness; a great burden – a travailing. You have a sense of loss; a sense of aloneness, a time of great solitude.

You have entered into your own garden of Gethsemane (oil press) for your time is now come. Get oil for your lamps where the oil press is (in your own Garden of Gethsemane).  Selah

I have brought you to the end of yourself. I have stayed with you through the false labor. Now is the time to enter in; in great anguish, sorrow and travail. the real labor begins.  I hold your hand and bring you through. Yea, My children, I have prepared you for such a time as this; preparation for all that is coming, great darkness, great tribulation, great judgment - the day of My wrath shall utterly consume.  Fear ye the day of the LORD. I have heard your vow to serve Me and obey Me without any hesitation.

Truly and surely, you must go through and turn not back. I have strengthened you in heart, mind and body. Do not try to understand, 'how' or 'when', but cause your faith to give thanks.

You must let go of all of your past; a complete death to self. Do not grieve, but rather rejoice that you have found favor, mercy and grace in the eyes of your King. Truly it is marvelous and beyond your comprehension, yet I say to you that this is no hard thing for Me.

Now is the time! It is not just about you; it is about others also and through it all, I alone will be glorified. Continue to pray and stand in the gap. Speak forth and say, 'Restore'.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. [Ez22: 30]


But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. [Is42: 22]

Offer up praise with thanksgiving. Press in to the secret place of the Most high God for I am surely for you and not against you. He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [Ps91:1]

Forgive. Forgive others; forgive yourself; forgive as you were commanded. Trust Me with what I have spoken to you. It is no hard thing for Me to perform. Do not try to understand why or how – simply obey and give thanks. Satan and all his chief captains and princes and all his armies can do nothing to stop what I have decreed. Victory is now…

Whose blood covers the doorposts of your heart? Precious is the blood of My Son; the Lamb who was slain. Humbly come, turning from all that is not of Me. I will hear and forgive. You know this, for it is written.

Trust Me in the things I have spoken to you. Beware and on guard. Watch and pray. I know your frailties. Obey Me in all details. Begin this day. Step by step. It must go forth now or not at all. Trust Me. It is for your sake, but for My glory. Trust and obey. Fear not; I strengthen you. I did not stop doing miracles nor great works. It did not end with the apostles. I am the same yesterday, today and forever.

You cannot shake off what I have promised you, for it is within you. You cried out for truth. Yes, I am truth. I am love. I am the way. I am life.

Go through, go through… You will not be overtaken nor shall you be burned. I am with you. Believe Me for the things I speak to you. Believe My word and keep it in your heart and upon your lips. Satan [and his armies], [those assigned against you], will war against you, to wear you down, break you down, make you think you are crazy by using My word against you, just as he did in the desert against My Son, as he tempted him. And just as he said to Eve, he will bring doubt and confusion and even ask you, Has God said?

Keep on the full armor and you shall quench the fiery darts of the enemy. Resist the devil and he will flee.
Without faith, it is impossible to please Me for it is faith that puts to death unbelief. It is trust that puts to death fear. Selah

Now is the time. This is your now. Press in, trust and obey. I love you for you were bought with a price. My Son's blood covers you. Remember, remember well… you shall overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony, and you shall love not your life, unto death. Believe Me for the things I speak to you, for My sheep know My voice and another they will not follow.

I say, the entire body of Christ must arise with one mind, one heart and one accord and become united. Do not turn on each other. Do not break ranks.  When the body turns on itself and begins to devour itself, it is called cancer.  Shall cancer be found in the Body of My Christ?  selah

You have been shaken, and more shall be shaken; you are stirring, and more shall be stirred; you have awoken – NOW ARISE!

Stand watching and praying! Let the watchmen now echo behind for many still need to hear! And be quick about it!  Shall blood be found upon the hands of My watchmen?  Warn the people.  Gross darkness shall cover the land; the midnight hour approaches; get oil for your lamps.  The Bridegroom is coming!
Run the race and endure to the end!

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. [Phil 3:14]

Selah
for His glory†
