A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCHES
Word from January 25, 2023 | Originally released by Truth-Justice-Mercy on February 16, 2023
Good morning!
The title of this message has been growing in intensity in my heart since the start of the year. I cannot emphasize enough the urgency I feel concerning this! The Lord has been purifying His Church, and now is the time for churches to wake up and pay attention if they’ve been lulled into a sleep. There is a separation going on – the sheep from the goats; the wheat from the tares. This word, along with several others recently, is intended for churches, and I invite you to please share with pastors and church leaders. As the Lord spoke to me in a separate word for a dear pastor friend of mine:
"I am not messing around!"
The stakes are very high.
He mentions that the media has so far been silent on the pockets of His glory that have already broken out, but that they surely WILL declare it. Well, we can now say that this is already coming to pass since the time He spoke it to me (January 25th), as we’re seeing the mainstream news begin to report on the Asbury Revival that broke out last week!
The following verse really jumped out at me several months ago while listening to my Bible reading, and the Lord asked me to use it as a preface to today’s release (it was in French, but I’ve also included the English.):
« Celui qui n’est pas avec Moi est contre Moi.
Celui qui ne M’aide pas à rassambler le troupeau, il le fait de partir de tous les côtés. »
-Luc 11 :23, PDV
“Whoever is not with Me is against Me,
And whoever does not gather with Me scatters.”
-Luke 11:23, ESV
May we be found gathering with Him!

I AM POURING OUT MY GLORY... AND I AM REMOVING LAMPSTANDS
A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCHES
Wednesday January 25, 2023 – morning
The Lord has been speaking this title to me since 2023 began, but today He told me to write it down. And, so began one of those rare “Thus saith the LORD!” messages. You all know that I won’t say those specific words unless He is adamant about it, and today He most certainly was.
“Thus saith the LORD of Hosts—the LORD of Armies is His Name!—to the churches all throughout the earth:
Prepare ye, prepare ye, prepare ye the way of the Lord!
I have been cleansing My Church; I have been purifying My Bride.[i, ii] But now I ride in—this year—and I am doing one of two things in the churches:
I am pouring out My glory.[iii, iv, v]
And, I am removing lampstands.
There is no time to waste; there is not time to think about a ‘five year plan.’ The hour is now. On which side will you find yourselves?
For those who seek My face, I will show up in your midst in unprecedented ways! This is already going on in pockets; it has begun.
But what is this?? You have not heard about it?? Has your media truly been silent on this issue?? Ha! Ha! Well then, perhaps I will deal with your wicked media and install My own as a replacement! They surely WILL declare what I am doing across your airwaves! I am taking back the media! Yes, surely I have said it!
But for those churches who have not taken My Word and the witness of My Spirit seriously, who have been complacent and have hem-hawed around:
Understand that the time is NOW to fall on Your faces before Me and plead for My presence in your midst. You cannot continue to operate by checking off boxes and ticking off tasks. Apart from Me, you are nothing. Apart from My Spirit, you can do nothing – nothing of lasting value. Apart from Me, all you can do is tickle ears and stroke egos. You are truly lukewarm… and you know how I feel about that.
And now, for those churches who have continued to compromise, who have rejected My Word in favor of ‘woke’ agendas, who have embraced culture at the expense of holiness:
Have I not commanded you, ‘Be ye holy, for I am holy?’ Have I not commanded you to be set apart? Have I not commanded you to be salt and light? What have you to say for yourselves?! No, My words for you are harsh. You have already been judged, and I am removing your lampstands. For, your light never did shine before men so they could see your good works and glorify Me in Heaven, and your salt had no flavor or preserving value. It is then good for nothing, but to be… yes… you know the rest.
I am removing My lampstand from you and placing it in some of the most unusual places. You will be addled and amazed, as you are left standing on the outside looking in. But for some of you—a few—I will still invite you to enter these new places of My glory! The offer still stands for you to join Me in what I am doing.
Just as the fig tree did not blossom and was cursed, and just as those who have been firmly planted, well-watered, and have broken up their fallow ground will produce fruit in due season, I am coming to visit the appropriate harvest upon you. The season is ripe for harvest, and now all will see what you have been sowing.”
As He spoke, I kept hearing “Parable of the Wedding Feast,” so I will close with that passage. For those who ignore His invitation, He will find other, less likely guests. His banquet hall will be filled.
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
Matthew 22:1-14, NKJV
1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.”’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Salt and Light
Matthew 5:13-16, NKJV
13“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
