Al
Thomas: "GOD SAYS, 'MANY OF MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN A LOVE TEST--AND THE
GRADES ARE IN'"
 God Says,
"MANY OF MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TESTED"
"My people have been at the point where they've confessed the
Scriptures, rebuked the
devil, pleaded the blood, and have had brethren agree with them in prayer, but
still NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. Child of Mine, you've not been in a faith test, but
a LOVE TEST" (Psalm 11: 4-5; 1 Thessalonians 2:4).
"My love test is when I
allow circumstances to come into your life to determine, 'Do you really love Me?'
(Genesis 22: 1-2, 9-12). I wanted to see if you were a fair-weather Christian--this
is a child of Mine who only gets excited and loves Me when all is fair or
better."
"I was saying to you, 'I know you love
Me when I bless you and supply all
your needs. But will you still love Me, even if it looks like I am halting the
blessings in your life and allowing some troubles to touch you?' The big
question in the face of adversity is, 'Will you love Me or will you be offended
by Me?'"
"Many of you have stayed true, your love was proved and now you will be
strengthened...making you fit for the Master's use (2 Timothy 2:19-26). This is
the first and greatest commandment, 'Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, mind, soul, and strength...'"
"Remember this: My
tests are highly refined instruments, like a doctor would use surgical
tools...but My operations are always successful (Philippians 1:6). The
angel is blowing the trumpet, so get ready to slide off the table. The test and
procedure is about over, and it's time to get up. Adjust your armor
(Ephesians 6:13-17); I am thrusting you back into the battle."
God Says, "MANY HAVE PASSED THE TEST"
"It has been difficult for many because some did not bear witness to the message
or the vision I gave you. Some were never meant to. That doesn't mean you are
better than them (Philippians 2:3), but you cannot plant a vineyard on another's
land" (Romans 15:20).
"You have learned not to force your liberty on those not
meant to receive it. I am pleased you counted My Word precious to you, but even
more so that you have learned not to demand that it be precious to others. Do
not be anxious (Philippians 4:6); I'm melting other hearts to catch the vision.
Because you have been patient and faithful, I will open new doors for you, but be
careful not to burn bridges because you will need them later."
"Criticize no one;
love even the most difficult brethren and continue to be patient with all who do
not agree with you. Let people remember you not for your giftings, but for your
love (Romans 13:8). Anyone can pass judgment and be critical, but my
seasoned saints navigate though troubled waters with love as a rudder"
(John 13:34-35; 15:17).
"I remember your work
of faith and your labor of love (1 Thessalonians 1:3), you've been
troubled and weary, but you've kept the faith and completed the test. Honor is
at the door."
God Says, "MANY MUST NOW PREPARE FOR PROMOTION"
"Now is the accepted
time to step up and out, because I'm calling you out of the classroom to the
throne room. I'm about to give many a new passion for an old vision (Habakkuk
2:3). As I rekindle the vision, you will discover old wounds that used to
fester inside of you (Joel 2:23-26) will no longer be felt."
"I am depositing an
amazing resiliency inside of you, so instead of retreating when you are knocked
back two steps, you'll immediately get up and take three steps. You will bounce
back from hurtful experiences and painful words that you experienced in the
past."
"Others have had mates who
seemed opposed or were slow to come on board concerning your vision, but I will
soften hearts in this new season, and fresh unity and support is about to come.
Some who have had promises (tucked in their hearts) of ministries and callings,
will begin to see manifestations of them being fulfilled" (1 Thessalonians
5:24).
"Now is the time to
stir up the gift within you (2 Timothy 1:6). Others, early in their walk
with Me, tasted My power, but shrunk back because of mistakes or timidity. That
time is over. Many are waiting to be delivered, taught, and sent out"
(Matthew 28:19-20).
"Listen to My voice
(Psalm 95:7); I'm calling those who have been waiting for a confirmation to
step up to the plate, and step out of self-imposed limitations. Your test
results are in, like Joseph you've waited patiently on My Word and passed the
test" (Psalm 105:19).
"Yes, there is more
to learn, but I've completed a great inner work for such a time as this
(Ephesians 3:16), AND I'm handing you your diploma. Take it and rise up."
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
Glory of the LORD is risen upon thee" ISAIAH 60:1.

BRAND
NEW BOOK!
...Open
My Heart, Lord will guide great numbers of people to personal freedom, and
ultimately on to their destiny...Kathi's story of liberty can become your
personal experience through studying this book.
–-Bill Johnson
Only
a person like Kathi Oates, who has been plunged into hand-to-hand combat and
eyeball-to-eyeball ministry facing these issues all over the world, could have
presented us with such a helpful book as this.
–-Jack R. Taylor
If you are looking for a great guide into personal freedom-- if you are ready to unload that extra "baggage" that may be cluttering your life and keeping you from fully entering into your destiny, then Kathi Oates' brand-new book,
Open My Heart, Lord, will point you into a dramatic direction of liberty.
--Blessings,
Steve Shultz, The Elijah List
Christians often pray for an 'open Heaven'. In
connection with ministry in the US and in Holland, Jason sensed the Lord saying
that the prayer that's needed today isn't "open up the Heavens"...but
rather, "Open up the Earth." (God has always been available to us; it is we who
have not been open to Him). "All of us at Key of David felt strongly that
significant portions of these "live" ministry times ought to be made available
to the public...and, in fact, God had already given us the title: Open Up the
Earth," Jason Upton.
