Arise, Prophet, Arise
Know the faithfulness of the Lord in speaking into your spirit. Many are the lies of the enemy that have come against you for he has sought to destroy your faith but you have stood strong and resisted him. Do not doubt that which I have placed within you for in your time alone he has sought to whisper in your ear, falsehood. Did he not come to Jesus and ask Him a question? At a moment when His flesh was weak from fasting, did he not try and tempt Jesus. Then the Word was spoken and Jesus said it is written and after the third time of speaking the word, the enemy left Him for a season. Do you think you are any greater than your Master? You are not exempt from more tests of your faith. The enemy is a liar through and through and there is no truth in him.
Stand strong, in the power of My Holy Spirit for I am downloading much to you in this season. Know who you are in Me with new faith. Stand firmly planted in My Word for it is your life. You have much Word in you but with new zeal delve into My Word and study to show yourself approved. You have a teaching mantle in you prophet of God that has yet to come to its fullness. You have been called to combat the works of darkness and expose them. You have been called to set the captives free.
You know and understand the battle and have overcome and will yet be used by Me. I am moving in this time to bring refreshing to your battle weary body and would have you sit with Me continually. Times of refreshing are here. I would have you know prophet of mine that you are much loved by Me. I am your friend and consider you mine. Much has come against you and even spoken against you but you have stood strong in the past years and not wavered. Let Me rekindle our love in an even deeper way. My love for you is unconditional.
Allow Me to hold you in your disappointments, keep you safe in the storm and raise you up in your prophetic mantle as that victorious, conquering woman of God. Arise prophet of God arise, come higher, dig deeper and soar like the eagle you are called to be. That eagle that can see beyond the natural and discern the enemy at a distance. The discerning of spirits is being sharpened even more deeply and you know what spirit is operating when you see him working. You discern it in my body and discern it in the world.
Continue to sharpen your weapons of warfare for you have been called as a woman of peace but also as a battle axe and weapon of war. Take the sword of My spirit and cut through the works of the enemy. Even this day he has sought to discourage you but the thorn will not be removed but will be used as a reminder of all that you have been given is not without price and cost.
That which you have disliked will be turned for good and you will be reminded, of all that I have done in your life. Arise to your lives calling, arise. Rejoice prophet of God, rejoice, the day of the Lord is at hand even at the door. Do your first works, preach My Word without fear and do not receive the lie for you are perfect only in Me. You will be used to raise up those that have need of teaching. Feed them the food I give to you. Study for new nuggets of truth for My word is full of hidden treasure there for the asking. There is freedom at the foot of the cross for all and you must never stop preaching the word of the Lord for it is life.

Apostolic Fullness
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
APOSTOLIC FULLNESS
The Lord is restoring apostolic fullness to His church. Apostles are being moved around, and many that have been hidden from view will be brought into the light for the world to see. Many that have been used of God in past moves are going home and the Lord is bring forth those that have been sharpened again and again for His purposes. Apostolic fullness is what I am hearing the Lord say to His church. God is setting His house in order. First the apostles, then the prophets, then the evangelists, pastors and teachers. Each important in this last move of God, but God is saying the apostle needs to be in place for the rest of the body to function. All things put into His Divine order. God is a God of order and the body is not complete without the mature apostle functioning in the body of Christ. There will seem a lot of confusion as those that have been in the limelight refuse to move but God is going to move them to their proper position. Pastors will be shifted. Each one of those in the five fold ministry will be moved for His purposes so that they are properly aligned.
God is looking for and coming for a church who is a bride that has her house in order. The apostle has an assignment that no other can fulfill and the church will remain in her immature state until we see the full restoration of apostolic ministry to the church. The older will teach the younger as Paul did with Timothy and there will be those that are fathered and mothered so that they will come to the place of maturity. Time spent in the body of Christ does not necessarily represent ones years of spiritual maturity. Spiritual sons and daughters will be born, taught, corrected, loved and matured in the faith so that the end time harvest will be brought in.
The enemy has sought to abort many of those called early in life so that their destiny will not be fulfilled, but as you seek My face for them they will come into the Kingdom, be raised up and used by Me. Pray for those that are called for My Kingdom purposes, daily, that the call of God will be fulfilled in their life. Pray for the fivefold ministry. Pray for the believer and the non believer that all things might be fulfilled. Pray for the nations that labourers are sent into the harvest field as directed by Me and that a mighty harvest of souls come in. Pray that labours are sent with the proper equipping so that they might equip others in the nations of the world. Bring them in. Seek Me and My purposes and wait on Me and then respond to the call of My Spirit. Wait on Me, seek me and bring them in. The Lord is setting His house in order.
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4: 11-16 (NKJV)
