Just recently I was impressed to write down the jist of my testimony, and send it out to those of like faith. I believe that God is doing a great work of separation in His body these days. It's because of this revelation that I would like to encourage those of like faith to stay in contact with each other and lay out the vision God has given them. I am not speaking of a local vision there are just too many manifestations to count, but an ancient vision of us being gathered together as One in Him, not giving up our passion to the local or regional revelation of Christ that only receives part of the body. I'm not talking about a church that enslaves the apostles and prophets forcing them to flow were and how they are commanded, but the Lord Jesus made manifest through His elect. When I was a little kid before I knew anything about scripture or church The Lord would appear to me in visions and dreams and it was always about the same things. That He would live His life through me, that we would share the same mind. The main vision I remember is this journey where I would find myself in an out of the way place among the trees. There was a great pit covered with a great cloudy mist that seemed to go on forever. It was very thunderous. It wasn't dark and gloomy; it was more like something very powerful and strong. There was a great force inside the pit. It was God. In this vision I knew if I would jump into this pit that I would be transformed into something supernatural. I had everything God had. His strength, knowledge, everything. And I would have him with me always. Everything was about us together and we were friends. I always remember the beginnings of these experiences being a little scary, but they would always lead to a great sense of belonging, I had found by best friend in the whole wide would. We always wanted the same things on these after, we took the first steps together. Always. Later I got involved with local Christian groups, bible studies and prayer meetings. I had forgotten most of the visions I had as a child. Now I was kind of bouncing around from house to house learning from those willing to teach. Although I had visions as a child, I really didn't know a lot about prayer and the prophetic gifts. I was now learning how to pray and then wait for God to speak in a specific way. This type of intercession stuck with me. After all if He was willing to speak why not listen. I questioned ministry that played off the people, why not wait on the Lord. If He died for us why won't He come near and settle things. God still has an interest in things. He still has court if we would only yield to Him. Why won't they I often asked? Maybe it's because of our love for position in the house of God. If we were to be ordained by the Spirit of the Lord people would then lose their seat of authority. Years of jockeying for position would be lost, people get swallowed up with fear. They trade true glory for something temporary. Those who steal authority from their brothers and sisters in Christ know that their time is short. They avoid going farther with God and avoid His judges to prolong themselves in the ministry. They will also keep others within their circle out of the authority of the kingdom knowing that in the jubilee all land goes back to its rightful owner. Whoever has more shall be given, visions and dreams continued to increase in my life as I waited upon the Lord for daily direction. By this time I had come to realize how people were to be judged by their hearts, not by sight or rumors. God doesn't want us to speculate. We shouldn't be bound by gossip or probe a person with questions. Jesus knew all men. If we are in Him we have the mind of Christ and if God wants to address a matter of the heart He will. We are not to poke and badger a brother to find a solution to their problems, only Jesus knows. Remember I hear and I judge and my judgment is true. We are not of the world and we should not judge as the world judges. Jesus is the way we must follow in His footsteps. We must learn to obey and not to be persuaded by human reasoning. Remember this world and its authority are passing away including the religious system that attempts to destroy Gods children. Deliverance became the first ministry that I was ever given in a group of Christians. Probably because the only way you can cast them out is by the Sprit of God. It seemed that God always showed up and honored me in this because I would wait for Him and not jump the gun. I believe that being delivered from the demonic should be fast and complete if we are walking with the Spirit of Truth. Truth fills us up and replaces the hidden agendas that enslave us to kill, steal and destroy for things that perish. The mind that the Spirit of the WORD gives is clean, just as Jesus told the disciples that they were already clean because of the words he spoke to them. As long as we are filled with Truth we can cast them out. God won't honor those speaking lies. Lies can't cast out spirits. Satan can't cast out satan. Over the course of time the Spirit showed me many of the reasons why people were oppressed. I became convinced that we were not just commanded to cast them out but also to build a strong foundation for people to grow up in Christ. There must be a place of safety where people can come together in one accord and be taught the ways of the Lord. When God wanted to move in Israel He would raise up a prophet or a judge or a king to lead. We cannot continue to bring people to places of abuse. There must be a place were God would put His name. We need those chosen by God to raise up and take the land. These Shepard's must take their stand and protect the week from the wolves both inside and outside the church. The church cannot be about riches and fame, we are one, a family in Christ Jesus. I am fully convinced that as in times of old that the elect must be called out by the word of the Lord and not elected by man. The ways of man are wicked; a board cannot know the heart. A certificate cannot prove you have the love of Christ. Let God raise up those called to minister before Him. Let the word of the Lord bring them into an established place of leadership. And may God arise and let His enemies be scattered. With these revelations came another and that was how the spirit of increase would come upon those in Christ. I received many clear visions on the stock market and with the economy. I remember being told by the Holy Spirit months in advance about the rises in oil prices. Also, the Spirit would awaken me at night at times to show me many of the major moves in the markets. This was all apart of His plan to reveal how the elect would rule apart from the will of man. Men always rebelled against the truth and the church since the beginning was always prone to challenge the elect. Therefore God saw fit to bless apart from man so that the congregation or bride or Israel would never have more authority on this earth than the SON of MAN. The apostles and prophets must have the authority and provision needed to stand firm against what can sometimes be a bloodthirsty group within the church. The sinners shouldn't have power to remove the saints from office. It has to be God giving the commands. God is higher than man and the Lord of heaven and earth will rule in power and He will justify His chosen vessels of honor. Right now I am trying to help those of like faith find out how they are going to fit in this end time vision. I believe everyone has both an end time harvest as well as a local body vision. We must learn how to work together as one by revelation. It is very important that we know who is sent by God and who is sent by man. Even Jesus chased certain men out of the room at times. God will not share His glory with another. If our covenants are man made, we will sacrifice huge amounts of authority, if we find ourselves lacking in power look around. Find the accuser within our midst just as satan was found among the sons of God in Job. As long as satan the accuser of the brethren or his seed is allowed to share authority with us there will be no major victories. Will our victories give authority to the wrong people? When God gives us territory will we give leadership positions to those God has not chosen just because they tagged along with us all these years? In my own life I remember casting out demons easily, then I got involved with the wrong team, It seemed like it would take forever to accomplish what used to take seconds. With God things were fast. With man it took forever and I was always getting beaten up. God put this message in my heart to remind you that our true authority in Christ might not manifest if we are united or tied up with the wrong people or team. How often does the power lift off of us? Why does God show reveal His glory when we are alone without an agenda, but then He withdraws the manifestation in the crowd? I believe that God will not allow His glory to be controlled by man or allow His elect to give power away foolishly. The Spirit testifies of the SON, not the people who were around Him. God will not glorify those not preaching the word of God, therefore when those around us challenge His word, he will withdraw His glory. Because they are not obedient to the faith. Please pray about these things. Love Greg If these words hit home, you can email me at gregspage88@hotmail.com If anyone needs prayer feel free to email me. I would love to pray and speak to those of like faith.
