Kimberly FowlerParticipant
Wow, what a good word, both a warning and a comfort as well. Even when your Father is giving a warning, there is the knowledge that it is given because He desperately is concerned for the welfare of His family and that if they abide within the warning there is the comfort given of a secure abiding place in Him.
I have been watching a lot of heavenly experiences on YouTube where people have had dreams or actual visitations of visiting God or Jesus, and so many are reiterating the same message that if Jesus did come for the church in the state she is in now, only about 2 percent would be ready because God is a holy God and cannot accept a garment on His Bride that is with stain or wrinkle. Many of the experiences I have seen were Christians who had dreams or visitations and realized that they had spotted or defiled garments. One girl was weeping as she relayed that she saw herself in the vision or dream being taken to hell because she was not in a state of readiness. I do realize that Christ is our righteousness, but there is more awareness of coming daily and offering ourselves daily as a consecrated vessel, offering our body as a daily sacrifice…not becoming born again day after day, but consecrating your life each day purposely unto God and repenting for anything that would bring anything, any stain or blemish, between the relationship and intimacy between my soul and the Father, even unknowingly.
Even as a married couple come together in intimacy, they become one in spirit in a mystery of God.
And in intimacy with God, (but not in a sexual way,) it is like we are renewing our covenant with Him and becoming one and establishing that oneness with Him, and in that oneness, we become more like Him, our garments being made spotless.
I found this on the internet just now which coincides with what I believe in that it is corresponding work on both the effort of the Bride and the Holy Spirit to make the Bride acceptable to the Bridegroom:

Anyway, I really appreciate your warnings in love from the Father.
With love ,
Your sister in Christ, Kimberly
Kimberly FowlerParticipantMy heart is rejoicing!! God is so good !!!
Kimberly FowlerParticipant“Beloved, I desire above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.”
We speak and declare that it be on earth as it is in heaven. Lord, we declare healing and health over her. Even as you spoke the heavens and earth in existence, you have given authority in our speech and declared that we have the power of life in our tongues. We speak life over her and any bondages broken over her. We loose healing and your ministering spirits over her. Whatsoever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatsoever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven. We agree as touching this matter, and we know your scriptures: your words are life for those that find them and health to all their flesh; Your Word is living and active; and it will not return without accomplishing that which it was sent to do. So we thank you for sending your Word, and we bind any demonic spirits that would try to hamper or hinder her healing. Pain, leave, in Jesus name.
Kimberly FowlerParticipantI agree with you in prayer (sensed angels working around him).
Kimberly FowlerParticipantMy heart breaks when I hear things like this, but it is so easy for the first reaction to be so emotional that our prayers take on our emotion which is made up of not only the spiritual love for the person but also the carnal thoughts of earthly consequence. For example, out thoughts become fear-filled, thinking of worst possible scenarios rather than faith-filled , reminded of the same power of God flowing through us that raised Christ from the dead and sits us in heavenly places with Him. That is why it is sometimes easier to pray for a stranger and have faith rather than pray for someone we are emotionally close to because our emotions can actually have an adverse affect on our faith sometimes.
That sentence stood out to me when Frances Frangipane said:
“Thank you for your faith-filled prayers.”I immediately realized I was praying out of grief and not out of faith!
I am reminded that when Christ was going to raise the little dead girl (Matthew 9), he made everyone leave the house before He prayed for her. It is preached that He did not want their fear but only wanted those that would surround her with faith.
We do understand the family may be enduring much pain so they need our prayers as well, but we lift our prayers in expectation of God performing His Word and being well able to do even above and beyond what we can ask or imagine!
God, thank you for reminding me that my prayers may sometimes be weak and ineffectual when I let emotion control them, that our eyes have to remain fixed on you and not magnify the problem but rather magnify You. God, we ask for a new neck for Francis’s son out of your storehouse. Thank you for raising the intercessors. Thank you for purifying the prayers so that we pray strong, effectual prayers that avail much power. Elijah prayed and he shut up the heavens from raining. Let us understand the power that is in you made available for us if we would only pray and be in sync with you. You can’t always trust us with your power; you need a clean, holy vessel to pour out your glory. Clean us as a church body that we would reflect your glory and your goodness and your great love for men so you can trust us with your power on earth, so that men would see you (and not us) as your glory is poured out. We lay up an account with you; and Frances has laid up an account with you. You have a book of Remembrance, and we want to ask for that on Francis’ behalf; and do marvelous works for Francis and his son. We ask for creative miracles; we ask for the ministering angels to be strong at work on his behalf. We thank you for the great things you will do in this situation…in Jesus’ name, the name which is above every name in heaven and earth. Amen!
Kimberly FowlerParticipantI think I may have insight in this but check with your spirit as well. Many times when I speak in the spirit I am talking to God, but also my spirit will sometimes respond in a way which I can understand. For example, the scripture says, “I will pray in the spirit, but I will pray with the understanding also. (1 Cor 14:15)
It could be that your spirit is wanting your mouth to be quiet to get God’s response during certain times so it may be that your spirit is telling you to momentarily be quiet and listen. If you are on the phone to someone and you do all the talking but never wait for the other person to ever answer or respond, it becomes a very one-sided conversation. A few years ago, God let me know I was being too talkative during prayer and I would not shut up and let Him talk. (This was my experience, I am not saying this is true for you) But He was trying to teach me to be still in His Presence and just sit and wait on Him. I do not knw if this is the right answer, but I have heard my own voice respond at times while talking in the Spirit. Maybe just try getting still during those times. Who knows it could be you could even hear the audible response back from God at that time or an interpretation for the tongues that you are speaking.
Kimberly FowlerParticipantAgreeing…Amen
Lord, By Your stripes He has been healed. And you sent your Word and healed him. Your Word is like fire and like a hammer which shatters a rock. We speak healing in His body! Your Word does not return void but it completes what it was sent to do. We stand in faith agreeing. Where two agree as touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done of them according to my Father. Let your Word go forth and complete that. Let the angels of healing and ministering go forth. If he needs a new body part, we ask for it from heaven.
Kimberly FowlerParticipantI am replying to my own post because God just gave this to me, but I understand the symbolism of the need for the intercessors, “The Esthers”, to stand in the gap and intercede for the churches and the nations. And this is very precious because it is not just a call for those who need repentance, but I hear the Father’s heart calling the Esthers to come before His throne and plead and intercede for others, the very ones who do have the Beloved’s heart who would know His heart above others and who would have the love that He feels for the nations, to come and intercede on the behalf of those who do not know the Father’s love and will perish without someone to intercede for them.
We sometimes liken the Bride of Christ to Esther, but the main story of Esther was that she was in place to save the very lives of her entire people. She was the “intercessor” who pleaded for grace and mercy for her people. I hear the call to those that are called to be “Esther” for the people. I love the heart of God in this and hear the cry for intercessors to come forth!
Kimberly FowlerParticipantSherry, the book I read on YouTube was like an audio book which read it for me and in some cases, the book would sing part of it, but I found myself stopping the different parts so I could meditate and pray over some of it (and weep too). God is doing such a work in me, don’t understand much of it, just “aware” of it, and getting teeny glimpses of some stuff, but I have SUCH a hunger right now just to be with Him. I just want to go to Heaven to be with Him, but then ironically I read Rick Joyner’s book, “The Final Quest” (also on YouTube free) which kind of went side by side with Anna’s books but talked of the great commission we have on Earth to win souls and be one with God here while we mature into becoming the Sons of God that will reign here and into eternity. So I really am into Paul’s scripture about longing to go home but it is better to stay to help others; my heart is pulled into two different directions. But the longing for God is also pulling me closer to Him as well.
Kimberly FowlerParticipantI appreciate your words, Steven…I always have!
Kimberly FowlerParticipantPraying again for him and his family, can you update us on his condition?
Kimberly FowlerParticipantSherry, that is very interesting that you used those words. I had just read ‘The Priestly Bride’ by Anna Rountree and in her testimony (she visited heaven), she talked of Jesus’ gift to His Bride and He gave her something old, new, borrowed, blue. I had literally finished reading her book when God gave me that poem.
(I read her first book – Heavens Opened-the text version free on Youtube, then immediately read her next book-The Priestly Bride. It gave me such a deeper hunger for God!!)
Kimberly FowlerParticipantThank you, Sherry, for responding. I was actually hoping it made sense to others as it hopped back and forth with scripture. I wasn’t going to write the post about communion even though God was giving me the understanding of part of it, but then I heard in my spirit the command to write it for others. So I was glad it did not sound rambling but gave the connotation that was meant by it. Glad to hear from you. I pray for you and Jon when God brings you to my heart. I would have responded earlier to your reply but I was away from home and could not remember my password to login to respond. LOL
Kimberly FowlerParticipantJoining in prayer.
Kimberly FowlerParticipantBeautiful!!!
