Yet Is War Already Here

by Lori Anne Hale November 20, 2024

written by Lori Anne Hale

Fumbling, fumbling, fumbling in the dark,

relying, again, upon the old wineskin.

Holding onto what has passed.

Yet do they set themselves up as the highest authority,

as those who have the final word.

“Don’t listen to them”, they say. “Listen to us!

We are the true prophets,

the only ones who hear from above!”

Yet unaware do they sit,

not realizing it is they, themselves, who are walking out of step.

For their ears have been tuned to hear only one message:

A positive word,

absent any judgment.

For “love” would never predict a negative outcome.

A faulty litmus test applied.

The results are in:

“False prophet, false prophet”, is their cry.

“For his/her prophetic words are contrary to our own”.

Verdict rendered.

Guilt assessed.

Thus has a line of division been drawn amongst the prophets.

Though it was just announced,

yet is war already here.

Self-fulfilling.

Intentional.

Calculated.

For their public declaration was not simply a warning,

thus is “conformity” their demand.

Therefore, all those who fail to comply shall then be labeled as “heretics”.

Accusations shall fly.

Legitimate prophets shall be denounced.

Slanderous words.

Weaponized rhetoric.

The fuel used by the self-righteous to burn true oracles at the stake.

“Witchcraft”.

“Demonic”.

Words that shall often be uttered as this war between the prophets ensues.

Yet a truce shall not be,

for the majority shall attempt to silence the voices of the few.

Berated.

Chided.

Yet, not defeated.

A new generation of prophets shall arise…

Undaunted.

Determined.

Well-Equipped.

A clandestine company of warriors,

a modern day sect of the Essenes.

“Metanoia, metanoia” is their message.

For they have been sent to challenge My children to think again.

“Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” – Matthew 3:2

Hope

Another Wave Of Shaking

by Lori Anne Hale November 7, 2024

written by Lori Anne Hale

I saw another wave of shaking coming upon the Church, and then I heard this:

“Every house that has been built in My name shall again be shaken, as I continue to purge My Body of the unrepentant. For surely amongst My own does there dwell many who do not know Me. So though these individuals profess to be “Christians”, even still do they stand with the rebellious, for in their hearts do they refuse to bow to My Lordship.

Then, as if experiencing a jolt from a sizable quake, shall another wave of shaking impact My household. For I have come to dislodge those false believers from amongst the truly converted so that only the real Ekklesia is left standing. And so across the entire breadth of the Church will the coming shaking be felt, and thus shall its rumblings be unavoidable. For through this disruptive wave shall the needed change be birthed in My Body.

Then a peaceful transition from the “old” to the “new” shall not be, for the Church refuses to let go of the past. Therefore, shall My hand continue to press against her, as indeed has the Church drifted out of alignment with My Will. Thus shall this pressing of My hand only intensify in the coming days as I attempt to shift her trajectory. Yet, in the process, shall those false believers who have stood amongst the assemblies of the faithful fall away.

However, My efforts shall be met with resistance as this occurrence is yet again misinterpreted, where spiritual leaders will mistake the coming shaking as a demonic attack just as they did when the pandemic struck. Their eyes were blinded to the greater work I was doing in the Church at that time, for to maintain the status quo was their chief priority. As such could they not see that it was My higher purposes at work amidst their church closures.

Ah then, because what I sought to accomplish during that time was cut short, another round of shaking shall befall the Church. However, though this seismic event has already been predicted, still have My warnings gone unheeded, and thus have the tremors already present largely occurred without much concern by most believers. Even still shall more unscrupulous leaders be exposed and then brought down low, for I mean to cleanse My household of the adulterous and the profane.

Then what is currently being seen throughout the Church, where platforms and ministries suddenly collapse, should be viewed as precursors to the shaking that lies just ahead. For the rumblings coming shall topple over any who are not found standing upon the Rock. As such shall a great falling away sweep across the Church, causing tremendous upheaval to be felt throughout her entirety. Thus shall many believers be found in a befuddled state, for they misread the signs and the season.

See then has the Church missed an opportunity to reorient her focus so that she is operating in better keeping with My Will. Yet because she is unwilling to alter course on her own, I must now intervene and redirect her heading so that what I desire to accomplish in this hour may come to fruition; as such is this time of shaking now inescapable. Therefore, let My own pray that as the shaking becomes more pronounced, that not only does their own faith not falter, but that their younger siblings in Christ remain steadfast in their belief. For surely shall the enemy attempt to lead them astray.”

Pray, beloved, pray! Ask that any force of opposition that rises when this shaking comes is quickly struck down so that My higher purposes are achieved, as then shall the duration of those turbulent days be shortened. For the structural reordering of My Body will have been accomplished”.

“Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron. ” -1 Timothy 4:1-2

Another Round Of Shaking

by Lori Anne Hale August 29, 2024

written by Lori Anne Hale

Over the past few years, the Lord has declared his intention to bring judgment on the corrupt leaders throughout the world. But, so far, we’ve haven’t seen much of that happen as the wicked seem to be prospering and advancing their cause.

However, the Lord reminded me that judgment begins in the house of God first (1 Peter 4:17). He highlighted a word I received a few years ago about removing the unfit pastors from their positions of influence, the fulfillment of which we’ve witnessed in recent days as both famous and not-so famous names have stepped down from their platforms due to some form of scandal. (The link is in the description box below.)

In today’s word, the Lord showed me that He’s not finished purging His house, and that another round of shaking is coming upon the Church. I then saw the prophets were next as testing is occurring even now, where these men and women are being tested to choose between the platforms they’ve built, and fidelity to the Lord. A choice to speak a word that often directly conflicts with what the people want to hear.

And I saw many prophets had already chosen to compromise in an effort to protect their reputation; I then saw other prophets who had held the line of integrity, already caving to the pressure of maintaining a certain level of notoriety amongst the Church.

This is what I heard:

It is through the fires of proving that I have led My prophets in order to burn away that which was unprofitable. Yet many are those chosen vessels who could not endure the heat of its flame, and so backed away as the temperature intensified, as these vessels were overly concerned with saving face and protecting their good name.

Then as I continue to purge the wickedness from My House, it won’t simply be the overseers that I call to account, but those prophets and teachers who falsely claim to speak for Me. And so shall they, too, be exposed and thus shall their influence wane within the Church; for surely will I shut their mouths and silence their tongues so that their voices are no longer heard.

Tainted, then, are the words of those oracles, for the prophecies they utter are intermixed with their own theological bias, and so polluted is that supernatural stream flowing through them.

See then as another round of shaking comes against the Church, shall many more platforms, which were thought to be sound, suddenly topple over, for I have come in this hour to do a thorough cleansing of My Household, thus shall much upheaval continue to be found amongst the assembly halls of the elect. For I have indeed declared a time of judgment has come upon the Church.

Then those prophets who sought to exalt themselves shall be brought low, for indeed shall I lift the anointing from upon their heads and remove the mantle of authority placed upon their shoulders. For surely does their call now center upon themselves and attaining a greater level of fame within the Church, as they seek the title of “spiritual giant”. For they desire to be thought of as the modern day equivalent of those legendary heralds of the faith.

And so with puffed chests do these prophets strut across the stage, preening about like a flock of proud peacocks with their tail feathers open and on display. For like “VIPs” do they think themselves to be, and thus expect to be treated as such. Yet with lying lips do these oracles speak; though it is in the unctioning of Holy Spirit that they claim to be operating, when it is actually a deceptive spirit to which they are listening. However, since its message sounds soothing to their ears, the presence of that cloaked spirit has gone undetected.

Then, like a compass with a faulty needle are these prophets, for their spiritual discernment does not point true North, and thus are they directing My children to follow the wrong course, as many are those who are, even now, adhering to their instructions; for every word spoken by these so-called prophets is thought to be divinely inspired. Yet much of their spiritual interpretation is actually derived from the flesh, and so in vague generalities, that sound ethereal in nature, do they offer their predictions in an attempt to manipulate the masses, as it is their own agenda that they seek to promote, and not My own.

Ah then, shall My judgment fall upon the heads of these prophets. Thus will they be stricken down from their positions of prominence amongst the Church for I shall expose their fraudulence causing them to lose all credibility before My people; and so shall their words never again be trusted; thus shall they be unable to shake the label “false prophet”.

Then the cleaning of My House shall continue until I am, at last, satisfied with the results. Therefore should My children prepare for even further disruption in the days ahead, for I have come in this hour to drive the wicked out from among them, as I mean to restore the desire for holiness back into the Church. Thus, from top to bottom, must she be fully cleansed, for indeed have her leaders been steeped in sin, from which the prophets have not been exempt.

Therefore consider this fair warning, you false prophets who claim to speak for Me: I am coming for you next. For even now are you found leading My children astray. Yet I shall not tolerate this behavior any longer, as I have seen that, in your hearts, there is no remorse over your misconduct. Thus shall I remove any from that office whom I deem are unfit to serve. For indeed have you been unfaithful stewards of that responsibility which you were given, as the preservation of your own reputations has become the greater priority.

Abrupt, then, shall be your removal, for I have seen that you can no longer be trusted to speak for Me. Therefore, just like that shall your anointing be lifted, and thus shall that reputation you prized so highly actually be the cause of your downfall, for surely have you worshiped at the altar of self. So though the gifts are indeed beyond repentance, the spiritual mantle of authority and anointing is not. Therefore do not think you are impervious to the judgment that has been leveled upon the Church, for only those who have remained upright in heart shall come through the other side unscathed, as these prophets did not fall prey to the trap set by that deceptive spirit.

Then do not say you were not forewarned, for indeed has judgment come to the House of the Lord!

“For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” – 1 Peter 4:17

Hope Shall Still Abound

by Lori Anne Hale May 21, 2024

written by Lori Anne Hale

The word I am about to release today has a very sobering tone as the Lord describes what we can expect in the days ahead. Just fair warning, what I heard Him say paints a pretty bleak picture about what the people of earth will be experiencing during that time, but just know that He does speak of hope near the end.

While receiving the word, I had a vision in which I was situated high above the earth, so high, that it was as if my view was from outer space. I could see the earth was rotating on its axis, however, the entire globe began to move and travel through an expanse of space that was filled with darkness. As I continued watching, the earth finally crossed over what looked like a dividing line separating the two sections of space.

Then I heard this:

As the lofty continue their descent into the deep chasm of darkness, thus shall My remnant arise and come forth, shining like bright beacons of hope unto this world. For heavier shall become the blanket of despair that can, even now, be felt hanging overhead. And though some shall seek to find solace according to the pagan rituals of man, still shall their angst and distress persist without knowing any relief, as the peace they desire shall not be found through earthly means.

Then since every attempt to find a lasting solution to ease their feelings of desperation shall fail, surely within those poor souls shall the dream of a better tomorrow disappear, for that future they believed to be a possibility shall evaporate into thin air. For to them, the circumstances of life will appear too big to overcome, and thus shall they sink into a pool of utter despair.

Ah then shall it be across the world that many are the number whose hearts will dwell in a despondent state, for they will be unable to see a way out of their predicament, as the enemy shall have boxed them in like a predator who has cornered its prey, leaving no visible means of escape. And since, from the view of these miserable creatures, there appears no rescue in sight, thus shall their state of despondency only worsen as the days seemingly drag on without end.

Joy shall then be hard to find, for very few will have any reason to exude such jubilance for surely shall much misery cover the face of the earth. Thus shall the sorrows of the oppressed be greatly multiplied, for those who perpetrate evil shall inflict undue hardship upon the people of earth, as these wicked men take great delight in the suffering and downfall of others. And so shall their reign of tyranny look as if it will go on indefinitely. For who has, as of yet, been able to overrule their authority?

And since miracles appear to be in short supply, what hope is left for the world and its inhabitants? What challenger, though backed by the people, can actually defeat that band of despots, and drive out their legion of treacherous thugs, since a vast number of these evil agents are shrouded behind a veil of darkness, and thus not easily detected by the naked eye? An impossible feat indeed!

Ah but what man deems to be a lost cause, am I able to resolve with ease, as it is still true that nothing is impossible for Me. Yet who would believe this to be so when very few of the vast population of the earth even know of My existence? For surely are most ignorant of the Truth, and thus have been living from a position of misplaced hope, believing that the false gods they worship shall actually save them, not realizing that those deities to which they pay homage, in reality, are only after their destruction. Nevertheless do these poor souls hold fast to their convictions, whether those be humanistic or religious in nature.

Yet shall the beliefs of these poor souls soon come crashing down, for those in whom they entrusted their future shall not deliver as promised, leaving them feeling utterly abandoned and bearing a heavy sense of defeat which, in turn, shall eventually lead to a bitter resignation, where they resign themselves, albeit reluctantly, to the idea that their life shall not ever change, and will remain in a meager state for the rest of their days.

Thus is the plight now facing humanity, for surely has there yet to be any recompense of the wicked, as those who, even right now, while carrying out all kinds of evil against the people of earth, are still moving forward with their wicked scheme. For though some have stood up to oppose them, none have been able to stop their advance, and so shall the battle over who controls the systems of man only intensify in the coming days, as the enemy ramps up his efforts to seize greater dominance over the world.

Yet amongst all the turmoil and strife that lies just ahead for the nations of the earth, hope shall still abound. For out from the midst of those days of adversity shall a remnant of freedom fighters emerge bringing with them the message of life everlasting; thus shall they boldly proclaim from the rooftops and in the public squares that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. And so in the coming days shall many more be added to the household of God, for that remnant of faithful warriors have not neglected their call: that charge which was issued to every believer, which commands that they are to “…go and make disciples of all nations.”.

And so, though darkness may for a time seem to be prevailing, it should be understood by My own that what the enemy has meant for evil I intend for good, and for the saving of many souls. Therefore must these days of adversity come upon the earth, for its added stressors shall act as the catalyst which readies the multitudes of humanity to receive the message of My Kingdom, and thus turn to Me and be saved.

So though the thought of enduring more adverse days may fill some of My children with a sense of dread, their focus should not be upon themselves nor the trials they may encounter. Instead should their attention be lifted upward and centralized upon the matters of My Kingdom, meaning their chief concern should be the advancement of My cause, and thus seek to partner with the work I am currently doing in the earth.

Then it is with joyous anticipation that My own should greet the adversity which lies just ahead, as you are about to encounter a mighty work of My hand, the likes of which has never before been seen upon the earth. Therefore rejoice and be glad for it is this generation of the elect that I have chosen to participate in this great harvest of souls. Therefore, do not become dejected as the state of the world seems to worsen, but instead remember what was foretold to you, then prepare to witness the miraculous. For I tell you now that this supernatural occurrence shall impact the world in such a way that its entire trajectory shifts back into alignment with My Will. Surely amongst the newly converted shall there be found people of influence and authority, even one or maybe two who bear the title “Head of State”.

Then do I say: “Even now, rejoice and be glad, for you indeed are a chosen generation of the elect, and as such should consider yourselves highly favored and greatly blessed!”.

“This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”- Psalm 118:24

Prophetic Word: Blessed Are The Persecuted

by Lori Anne Hale February 24, 2024

written by Lori Anne Hale

While I was sitting with the Lord last night, He brought to mind something that had happened the other day. My husband was watching an interview of a well-known prophet from Canada, and as I walked into the room, I heard the prophet describing the persecution now facing Christians in that area. He mentioned that because of the recent laws being implemented by the government there, that he risked being arrested and jailed simply by living out his faith.

Holy Spirit then reminded me about a word I received back in February of this year. In this particular word, Jesus was doing the speaking. To some of you that might sound odd, but this isn’t the first encounter I’ve had with our Savior, nor am I the only person this has happened to.

In the NT, the Apostle Paul had a life changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In the book of Revelation, John, while on the island of Patmos, had a vision in which Jesus not only appeared to him, but also dictated letters to him for the seven churches. Some might say that those supernatural encounters were only for that period of the Church, or because these were giants of the Faith. But there are plenty of testimonies of ordinary people who had never heard the Gospel having radical encounters with Jesus. I actually met someone in Bible College from a Middle Eastern region, that’s how she was saved.

Since, as believers, God’s indwelling presence resides within us, it is perfectly reasonable for us to expect to have interaction with each person of His Triune nature: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

As I mentioned before, this isn’t the first word I received in which Jesus spoke, and if you’d like to read through a couple of those, the links are listed in the description box below.

Now in this word I’m about to share, Jesus speaks encouragement to believers about coming persecution, but first, He referenced these verses from Matthew 5:

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Then highlighted this verse from Philippians 3-

“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.”

Then I heard Him say this:

There is a price to be paid by those who choose to be My true disciples. For to follow Me means walking down the path of self-denial, where their entire lives do they count as forfeit in exchange for knowing and becoming more like Me. Then since I suffered greatly during My days upon the earth, should not those who have chosen to live as I did expect to encounter trials and persecution of various kinds, where their declarations about who I am are often met with hostile and sometimes even violent rejection?

Therefore, it should come as no surprise to anyone when those who have devoted themselves to Me and My Kingdom’s cause face instances of extreme opposition. For if the world which I came to save despised and rejected Me, so too shall it be with My disciples. For if they hated Me, then surely shall My own also be hated and reviled by men.

Thus should My disciples throughout the earth ready themselves for coming persecution, as the enemy is already preparing to ramp up his attack against the Church; thus shall some believers face great hardship for My name’s sake. Still will others know physical harm because they refused to deny Me before men. For those who are My true disciples recognize that this temporal world is not their reward, and so have already counted it as loss, especially when compared to the glory which awaits them on the other side of this life.

Yet knowing that greater adversity is about to befall the Church should not dissuade any who claim to be a follower of Mine from publicly preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom so that its message of eternal hope continues to spread and reaches every people group and nation. For then shall My second coming be ushered in, which shall signal to the universe that the end of all days is at hand.

Ah, but much tribulation shall be present upon the earth before My appearance in the clouds. For the enemy, who is the author of chaos and confusion, shall stir up all kinds of strife in the hearts of men across the entire earth so that the children of God are met with hatred, contempt, and even violence, in an effort to silence their voices. For he seeks to delay his inevitable end by preventing the Gospel of the Kingdom from advancing as the Father intends.

Then those believers whose sights are set upon the horizon, thinking My appearance is imminent, have misread the signs of the times. For though the Church has entered the last days, the final days are not yet upon you, as the Gospel of the Kingdom has yet to know its full advancement. Therefore, do not listen to any voices which claim My second coming is now upon you, for they have misinterpreted the manner in which the Father’s eternal plan progresses forward, thinking it to be linear in nature, instead of advancing through the accomplishment of His Will. Yet its full completion is predicated upon the Gospel of the Kingdom having been preached in every nation.

And so it is incumbent upon every generation of believers to fulfill their role in the Great Commission, which is sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom regardless of the negative consequences this act of obedience may bring. Therefore, do not hide your light away so as not to offend those around you, as all who follow after Me were meant to shine their light for the world to see.

Then without fear of rebuke or retaliation, boldly go forth and share the truth about the One who has sent you, and do not shy away from this assignment, even if it may lead to greater persecution, as this is simply the price to be paid by those who have chosen to follow Me. For very few of the lost you encounter along this path will greet you with open arms. Yet do not hesitate or be afraid to speak up and boldly declare the Truth to anyone who will listen, for I tell you now, that great is the harvest predicted for this season.

Prophetic Encouragement: It’s Time To Ascend!

by Lori Anne Hale January 28, 2024

written by Lori Anne Hale

I recently heard the Lord say “it’s time to ascend the mountain of the Lord” and He highlighted these verses from Psalm 24:

“Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully. He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.”

I then saw an image of an extremely high mountain that looked similar to Mt. Everest, with climbers tethered together by a golden chord, traversing the mountainside. However, each climber was at a different elevation; with some sitting on the lower summits, while others were situated on higher ledges. Still others had traveled even further up the mountainside, but all seemed to be resting on plateaus.

The Lord was using imagery to draw a comparison between the physical climb up a mountain to a believer’s spiritual ascent into His presence.

We all know that Mt. Everest is the highest peak in the world, and for climbing enthusiasts, it is the mountain to conquer. But even before a climber can ascend to what is referred to as “Mt. Everest base camp”, he/she must spend days completing practice hikes in order to get acclimated to the higher elevations.

The Lord then showed me that in a believer’s spiritual trek, when we reach a plateau, the Lord gives us time to become acclimated to operating from that space of His presence, but because we are never meant to remain stationary, the Lord internally prods us to keep moving on, to continue ascending up the precipice of His Presence.

This is what I heard:

Further up, further up, it’s time to ascend, to leave behind those lower plateaus and continue on this mountainous trek. For surely there are always higher peaks to scale on our journey to the very pinnacle of My Presence.

Yet to reach the greater heights of this spiritual altitude requires determination, as each successive leg of this supernatural terrain has an increase to its vertical pitch, and therefore, demands more than just a few half-hearted attempts (like that of a weekend novice) to achieve further ascension into My Presence. For is it not still true, that in a temporal sense, an amateur climber should not expect to obtain the same results as that of a dedicated mountaineer? And so it is the same in the spiritual sense. Yet, to reach the higher peaks of My habitation, one must be wholehearted in their quest for ascension.

Then to My own do I say, “Press On!” For great shall be the reward of those who answer this call to ascend the “Mountain of the Lord”. Then none should be content to remain positioned at a lesser elevation when there is so much more of My Presence to encounter the further up we go. See then, I never intended for any of My children to solely occupy the foothills of My mountainous domain, for how could they know inner growth, or develop the muscles of their spiritual man, without ascending further up this supernatural terrain?

So then it is not simply enough to admire from afar the beauty and grandeur of who I AM. Those who call Me “Father” were meant to have ongoing encounters with My Divine Presence. Thus should they maintain a posture of forward advancement, as My hand shall always beckon them to ascend into the higher realms of My dwelling place. Then shall it be that those who are found pressing onward will not be hindered by complacency, nor stymied by spiritual stagnation, as these children are not content to remain at the lower elevations of My Presence.

Those, then, who desire to reach the highest peaks of My habitation must actively apply themselves to this endeavor, as this is the behavior employed by those who, in the temporal sense, long to scale that monolithic terrain of Everest; then to ascend the “Mountain of the Lord”, this simple principle must be employed. Therefore, just having a few thoughts about what it would be like to climb further up into My Presence will not do, for one must take intentional steps to embark upon this journey, otherwise, they shall remain perched indefinitely upon those lower plateaus.

[And I saw written in all caps the word PLATEAUED; meaning some believers had reached a certain point in their spiritual journey and were unwilling to move on; and because they had grown quite comfortable at that spiritual altitude, these believers had taken on the attitude of “I am just fine where I am”, and I sensed a spiritual leveling off of sorts]

Then the Lord continued:

And yet, let none be mistaken: those children that settle in upon the lower summits of My Presence, though they are still loved by Me, will find, however, that diminished shall be our relationship, as it is incumbent upon them to press in. It is then that they shall encounter the spiritual momentum needed to further ascend My holy mountain, for surely is the rate of ascent determined by how much time My own spend seeking Me.

So though all who belong to My household are invited to join this noble quest, still shall a good number of My children not even attempt to move beyond where they are currently found standing, as in their hearts do these believers doubt further ascent is even possible. They have yet to learn how to connect with Me in the depths of their spirit, and so, has their experience with Me only ever been on a superficial level.

Oh how I long for each of My children to answer this call to ascend, as there is still so much of Myself that has yet to be revealed.

Then, again do I say, “Further up, further up, it is time to ascend the “Mountain of Lord”. So loose off any voice which urges you to remain idle, or says, “You can ascend tomorrow”. Reject this notion, and press in, for “now” is the time…now is the time to climb higher into My Presence”.

The Lord said to me, “the practical application should not be ignored”, meaning He wanted me to speak for a moment about the process of ascending: about how we can position ourselves to encounter His presence.

So, this is what the Lord showed me about ascending: In the verse I shared at the beginning of this video, Psalm 24, David asks “Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?” The short answer: those who are without sin. But the Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. So who can really be sinless?

It is those who have been covered by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. They can ascend the mountain of the Lord, as His atoning death makes us, as believers, sinless by proxy. According to John 14:6, the only way to the Father is through His Son. He is the only qualifier, we don’t need a degree in theology, or attain a certain level of Christian maturity to encounter the presence of God. We need Jesus.

Christ’s redemptive blood opened the way, now all believers have access to the Lord’s presence. Before the cross, only a high priest could enter the Holy of Holies. But upon Jesus’ death, the veil was torn, which meant the barrier that blocked the way into God’s Holy habitation was gone, and now all of His children can freely access His dwelling place.

In Hebrews 10 it says:

“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Something else the Lord showed me about ascending, is that “intentionality” is involved, meaning we must purpose in our hearts to seek Him.

Jeremiah 29:13 says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

We do this by intentionally creating space for Him in our lives; where we set aside every distraction, and quiet our own thoughts, so we can just rest in His presence.

However, the Lord reminded me that this does take practice. Taking our thoughts captive can be a bit challenging because we aren’t used to operating from a heaven to earth mentality. When we connect with the Lord in that space of His presence, it is with our inner man that we access Him and not through our outward senses. We have to position our thoughts so they dwell on Him alone.

When I first practiced entering His presence, I imagined myself entering into the Lord’s Throne Room. Now that might sound a little odd, but focusing on that image helped to keep my thoughts from wandering, and eventually, I was able to settle into an internal posture of rest and peace. Every time a random thought tried to intrude, I would recenter my focus back on His Throne Room. It was difficult at first, but I kept at it, and then one day something shifted, and I heard the Lord speak. It was only a short phrase, but I knew it was Him because He used a word I had never heard before.

I wish I could say that practicing His presence became my top priority after that, but life came crashing in, as it often does and pulled at my attention, and so cultivating His presence was inconsistent; that is until about 7 years ago.

After work one evening, the Lord asked me to sit up with Him for a bit, which I did, though admittedly, I just wanted to go to bed. However, in that moment, my relationship with Him changed dramatically. As I sat in His presence, the Lord asked me to pick up my pen and write down what I heard Him say. A few hours later, I had pages of prophetic promises He was speaking over me. Since then, He has spoken words to me just about every day in what He calls “letters”. If you go to my blog “mydailyletters.com”, you’ll find a collection of those words.

In Hebrews 11:6 it says “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” What greater reward could we receive than His presence?

This is just my personal journey of ascension. You may have had a different experience, but the Lord wanted me to share with you my experience with Him as an encouragement to others who may not know what it looks like or even what He means by ascending.

I’m going to leave you with this: If you have a hunger for more of God’s presence in your heart, don’t ignore it, but be intentional and begin to cultivate His presence in your life. It’s never too late, even for those who, as the Lord said, have plateaued. God is still beckoning you onward.

I heard Him say, “Ascend, ascend, there is more that lies just ahead; Arise now and ascend!”.

The Sons Of Kohath

by Lori Anne Hale November 17, 2023

written by Lori Anne Hale

The sons of Kohath are rising, those faithful stewards of that which is sacred and holy. Thus out of obscurity shall be their appearing, for I have had them hidden away in the deep place of abiding, preparing these of My own for such a time as this. Surely have I placed a mantle of higher authority upon the shoulders of these sons and daughters, for they have been gifted with a greater level of discernment, as those who are able to rightly judge between the ideas of the flesh and those which are My own.

Ah then, because these faithful ones have proven themselves to be more than trustworthy with that which they already possess, thus have they been charged with overseeing the weightier matters of My Kingdom. For I have seen they carry the inner strength to bear this heavier load of responsibility, and therefore, shall not falter as they walk out this higher calling I have placed upon their lives.

And so can those from this Levitical sect even now be found operating as such, for they have dedicated their entire existence to upholding My standards of holiness, and of being faithful administers of the Truth. For surely does there dwell a determination in their hearts to live out their lives in accordance with My Will.

It is then that wherever I have led, these Kohathites have followed, though, at times, My prescribed course seemed to make little sense. Yet did they continue onward, pushing through any doubt and every obstacle the enemy attempted to erect which was intended to stop them from advancing. However, because these of My own are not prone to giving up, they have persevered even when the going, at times, has been more difficult.

So then into the hands of these Kohathites have I placed the duty of “oversight”, as those who were called to advise and direct My building effort that is currently underway. For they possess a certain degree of spiritual foresight that shall enable them to accurately discern when and how to implement each phase of this new construction, as I have a specific design in mind for its form and function. Therefore, indeed shall this new configuration of the elect bear no resemblance to the current model of the modern day church.

See then, in the midst of the assemblies will these stand as those who shall ensure that My standards are upheld, for so strong is their inner conviction that compromise to them is not an option. As such, others shall be encouraged to follow their example, for surely then shall there be found amongst the elect a renewed desire to pursue holiness.

Then during this season as so much change is occurring, not only in the earth but within My Body as well, the presence of these Kohathites shall be made known. For it is their more noble character that shall set them apart, as they have taken seriously the charge to live as imitators of Christ while in this world, and as such do they strive to exemplify Him in all they say and do. For these have taken purposeful steps in their own lives to resist any form of defilement.

And so, even now am I beckoning for the sons of Kohath to come forth. For in this hour My children are in need of solid leaders to follow, those who walk with an unwavering commitment to uphold My ways; thus are their hearts not riddled with compromise. For they seek to please no one except Me, and therefore, cannot be easily swayed to make concessions with evil, and thereby lead other believers astray.

Hear Me then, you sons of Kohath, “The moment of your arising has come! Therefore, without hesitation, step forward and make your presence known!”.

“So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required, and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required…. But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible.” Numbers 7:6-9

A Mass Exodus

by Lori Anne Hale October 20, 2023

written by Lori Anne Hale

See then, the mass exodus I predicted would occur in this season has already begun. For surely in the hearts of many who have publicly professed loyalty to My throne, a sense of disillusionment can, even now, be found. Sadly, did the seeds of faith planted within these children fall upon rocky soil, and thereby do they lack the depth of belief needed to press on through the tribulation which is sure to come.

And yet, though the shaking which they’ve endured thus far has only been slight, still they are ready to tuck tail and head right back to the world from whence they came. And so shall they do exactly that, as these tepid believers are unprepared to face the more tempestuous days that are about to befall the earth, for they lack the internal stability to endure the unexpected trials that will surely manifest in their lives. What little faith they held shall shrivel away in the heat of this more intense adversity.

And while I still love these children dearly, ultimately the choice to remain as one of My own is up to them, for no one is ever forced to maintain a relationship with Me. Then in the very near future shall these tepid children fully fall away, as even now are their hearts overtaken by concern for themselves. And so, with very little persuasion, will these reject Me altogether; thereby shall they be found standing amongst the reprobates, deniers, and all those whose souls are destined for the pit.

So then that small sprig of faith which began to bloom has already begun to wither with decay, for it was never firmly rooted in that rich soil of the Truth. There is no depth to their belief in Me, for to them, acknowledgment of My Son as Savior was only viewed as a ticket into Heaven and nothing more, having never surrendered their hearts to My Lordship.

Surely then have I seen who shall remain faithful to Me and who shall not in this current generation of professing believers, as indeed am I accurate in all of My summations. Therefore, I must purge My entire army of every soldier who has only made a half-hearted commitment to Me, as any Commander worth His salt understands that to know repeated success out on the battlefield requires a fighting force of fully dedicated warriors: those whose allegiance is not divided.

I knew that seeing the fullness of My plan for mankind continue to unfold would require the formation of a mighty army, one that was capable of holding the ground on any front. As such, did I determine that a purging was needed at this time. Therefore, shall each soldier be challenged to choose a side. For as I have clearly stated before, the grace for the middle ground has expired.

So then an hour of proving has arrived for the elect, where a time of testing shall commence which shall expose the true loyalists of My Kingdom, thereby revealing those who are not. And so shall there be much upheaval found amongst the Church as the lines of My soldiers are sifted, for all throughout My ranks shall many defectors be found. Yet because great shall be the number of these deserters, their absence shall not go unnoticed by the faithful warriors who remain.

However, this expansive reduction in size, should not cause My own to be alarmed, as it is My intention to forge out of the remnant who are left, a more unified army, one that is solely focused on advancing My cause alone. For these are not interested in the limelight, or building a platform of their own. Their only desire is to be of service to their King. Therefore, it is not their own agenda that they seek to push forward, but Mine alone.

Then indeed is a great exposure coming. But it shall not simply uncover that which the enemy has been desperately attempting to conceal. No. Even more importantly shall there be a revealing of not only who are My true sons and daughters, but also, in this hour, shall there be widespread exposure of those who are not. Therefore, in the coming days, beloved, expect to see many who made a public confession of faith in Christ walk away and never turn back.

“Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away.” Matthew 13:5-6

Living In The Mind Of Christ

by Lori Anne Hale October 5, 2023

written by Lori Anne Hale

“Don’t rely upon your own opinions to justify your position on any matter, for the thoughts of man are easily corrupted, therefore, it is not upon your own understanding that you should lean. Instead, endeavor to greet every occasion with the mind of Christ, for then shall you be more apt to walk as He did upon the earth.

So then none among you should be found harboring any form of offense, nor should you be found nursing a grudge against anyone, for My Son only ever forgave. Yet while it is true that some of My own have suffered greatly at the hands of others, still must your hearts be led by forgiveness, for indeed is this humble stance the mark of a true disciple.

Then in this hour, when there is so much decisive chatter flooding the atmosphere, let you who are Mine find yourselves far removed from its influence, for surely is the enemy seeking to bolster his lines by advancing the lie of victimhood. Therefore, you must be wary of listening to any voices that echo this message. For without realizing it, you too shall fall prey to his deception, as in your hearts you will have then agreed with his premise that you are indeed a victim, as one who has in some way been treated unjustly,.

Ah, but My Kingdom still stands as a victimless society. Then you who are numbered amongst its citizenry should only ever regard yourselves as victors, even when you are severely mistreated by others. And because your identity is now derived by who you are in Christ, your internal stance should be that of more than a conqueror. Therefore, reject every thought which pushes you to take up offense, or speaks to the idea of victimhood, for this form of shallow thinking arises from the flesh, and as such, should not be entertained. Instead seek to have your mind renewed by continually coming into My presence, for surely then shall you know what it is to operate from a higher thought life, where you approach every circumstance, situation, and relationship with a Kingdom perspective.

Then, let those amongst the elect who count themselves as victims, in this very hour, lay down their offense. For who are you to harbor a grudge against anyone, when you yourselves are guilty of, not only committing wrongdoings against others, but more importantly, sinning against Me.

Therefore, take this opportunity to repent of your offense so that this festering wound can finally know healing. As such, release the one against whom you are holding a grudge so that true forgiveness is able to flood in and through your heart. To live as He did while upon the earth means assuming His same humble posture, where you crucify every thought and behavior which keeps your flesh alive: those thoughts and behaviors that run contrary to the Message of the Cross. For it is those who endeavor to apply these standards of love and compassion to their lives, who have indeed discovered what it is to have the mind of Christ.

“The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:14-16

A Reminder For The Elect

by Lori Anne Hale September 20, 2023

written by Lori Anne Hale

Though the earth may rumble and the ground quake beneath their feet, the inner stance of My children should remain unshaken because they’ve put their trust in Me! Therefore, even should a global famine unfold, covering every nation, they shall still be found rejoicing, for their hope is not based on anything found in this world.

See then shall the storehouses be empty and there will be very little to glean from the fields, as those crops which were used to sustain the people of earth shall know an extremely sparse harvest, as if struck with a blight or devoured by locusts; thus shall there be great upheaval throughout the world.

Then just as it was in the time of Joseph when the entire nation of Egypt faced scarcity and starvation, so it shall be again, yet in a much broader sense. For like a plague shall this famine spread upon every shore, where many who have never gone without will suddenly know the discomfort of deprivation and lack.

Ah but surely shall I intervene so that mankind continues to multiple upon the earth. For if he were left to his own devices, indeed would he cease to exist, as those who are hungry for power (in their maniacal quest to limit the world’s population) shall accomplish this end, unless My hand prevents its occurrence. As such, have I already taken measures to ensure that they do not succeed with their scheme, but they shall, however, cause quite a bit of trouble before they are fully stopped.

It would seem, then, that the world is not without hope though the wicked still continue to plot and plan. For right under their noises I have already out-maneuvered them by creating alternate means to replenish the world’s storehouses. As such shall I bring forth, in the very near future, new and innovative ways of farming which shall prove to be more beneficial for producing truly sustainable food.

So then know that there is more to this Great Awakening than one might think. For not only shall spiritual eyes be opened, but upon their supernatural arousing, new ideas will be birthed as Holy Spirit shall breathe life into that which lay dormant, causing the “new” to abound across the earth. It is then that the sacred and the secular shall know a joining, as I have created specific intersections through which believers shall advance these divinely inspired innovations.

The days ahead, therefore, should not be viewed with dread, but instead, with eager anticipation, as there shall be great strides made in the taking of ground for My Kingdom. This means that much enemy occupied territory shall be reclaimed for Me and My higher purposes, thereby shall Satan suffer significant losses during this season: those which he shall not easily regain.

Even still shall the households of man be shaken, yet some regions more so than others, for surely shall these areas be hit the hardest with scarcity and starvation, thus will there be a collective groaning heard coming from the people of earth. And while these words echo those which have been previously uttered, still this foretelling is meant to remind the elect of what is coming so that they are not caught off guard by its appearance.

Remember then, dear ones, that simply because a prophetic word is given regarding a future event, does not mean it shall immediately unfold. For oftentimes, many years shall pass before that occurrence manifests, as was with Joseph and the famine in Egypt; for surely did I utter a warning to prepare seven years before catastrophe hit.

Hear Me then, dear ones, and heed this word of warning to set your house in order now, so that you are more than prepared for the trying times which lie ahead for the world. However, do not be overtaken by worry about what shall transpire, nor lean upon your own understanding when determining what you shall do to ready yourself for this coming adversity. Instead, look to Me for the answer as to how to best navigate the choppy waters ahead, as those who submit to My direction shall find I have already laid a clear path.

“Though they plan evil against you, though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.” Psalm 21:11
