A WORD FOR 1999 - Thru Sis. Ching Co of Cebu City, Philippines

Beloved people of God,

At the dawning of this new year, let us perceive what the Lord is saying to us. May your heart be blessed by these words.

"My loved ones, do not be afraid to lost control. For as you let go, I will take over. I know how much all of you have sacrifice and sown for me. I have counted the cost of your obedience to me. But when the time come, you must learn to release them at the altar of My offering and lay them all at the foot of My Son's cross.

"My people, I know that at certain times, I will ask you to walk into unknown and uncharted path which means that you cannot see what is before you. But you have my spirit within you and my Peace will guide you always.

LISTEN TO MY VOICE AND NOT TRADITION

"Do not be concern about traditions and people. And be careful to always listen to my voice only. For the enemy is now working closer and nearer to the turf and many times he will be using people close to your heart to deceive you just like what he did to Peter before Jesus' crucifixion. Many of them will speak out of human reasons and act out of their love for you but you need to be careful from this day onward to sifts everything that you are hearing. You have to sift away the human wisdom from the spirit's truth. And only my anointing in you will be able to do that.

"The battle in the coming days will become more fierce and subtle, but My grace is abounding more...your struggles will no longer be attack from the outside, but the enemy has pointed his arrows and is now trying to create havoc amongst you and within you own soul and if you are not careful even my chosen one will be deceived by him.

MY WAYS ARE HIGHER

"Do not act in haste my people. Remember that my ways are higher than your ways. Learn from Joshua as they began to move in to take the enemy's territory. When they failed to listen to me and acted on their own, they were defeated...but when they waited for me to give them detailed instruction, they have great victory. So will it be in the coming days. I am to be your commander in chief and it is my final instruction and leading that you must seek to follow.

"My people, do not be afraid of missing the way for those that are seeking me will always be guided by me. Those whose hearts are inclined to my ears will never be deceived for I have sent my hosts of angels to set watch over your coming in and your going out.

"My people, the coming days will be filled with turmoil and confusion but my people who have chosen to hearken to my voice and who have been faithful to me will be walking in great abundance and joy. Nothing will be able to touch them.

"For once more I will give the order and a great shout is coming forth in the heavenlies. And once more I will separate my people and the world will know who are those who are mine for My favor and My glory will rest upon them.

YOU MAY NOT EVEN HAVE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH

"There will be many times when you do not even have to open your mouth to preach my Word, for My glory will shine forth from you and people looking and watching you live your life will be amaze and once more like in the days of the apostles, people will stand in awe and in wonder and in fear for they will see My hands moving and they will see that I am a holy God And I will not tolerate unrighteousness specially in the midst of my Chosen Ones.

"Do not fear My loved ones, for I've prepared you well for this day. I know that many of you will feel like Isaiah when he saw My glory. 'Woe to me. I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.' and you will wonder if you will ever be made worthy to stand in My Presence. But my loved ones, I will make you worthy. You will always be worthy to stand in My Presence as long as you keep your hands clean, your hearts pure, your feet eager to follow Me, your thoughts thinking of others better than yourselves, your eyes focus on the LAMB OF GLORY, your mouth drinking in from His compassion, His gentleness, His truthfulness.

"My people, the days ahead will not be complicated to those who are willing to become like little children and walk with me. It will be a glorious time of learning and growing. It will be a mighty time of exploring and conquering new territories. It will be wonderful time of fellowshipping with one another.

THE WALLS ARE COMING DOWN

"I Am breaking down the walls that have separated My people for too long. None will be mightier than the other, no one will be above each other. You are my army and you must learn to walk together. You must learn to wait for one another. You must learn to carry each other for then and only then will my kingdom truly advance. Only then will the heathen began to be reach for they will once more see genuine love flowing from my chosen people. People that I have pruned and tested. People that has pass through the great fire of purification and cleansing. People who have been proven to be willing and true to die to all. People who hold nothing back from me. People who do not look to men's approval but to mine. People who live my words daily in their lives. People who are slowly becoming the clearer expression of My only beloved son Jesus. These are the ones that I have chosen to Carry my light into this world.

"Cheers, cheers, cheers...for a great shout is coming forth from heavens. Hears the voice of rejoicing, see the great army of God marching on. The formations are ready! The trumpet has been sound. The arena is opened and the show is about to start.

ISAIAH - CHAPTER 40

These are the Rhema verses given to us this season. Taken from Isaiah chapter 40:

1- Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2- Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins. 3- A voice of one calling: " In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. 4- every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5- And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." 6- A voice says, "Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry? All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. 7- The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 8- The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever." 9- You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God!" 10- See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. 11- He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart: he gently leads those that have young. 28-Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29- He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30- Even youths grow tired or weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31- but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

DON'T BE AFRAID

People of God, let us not be afraid to let go and lay all at His altar for He love us so dearly.

Let us let go of our fears and anxieties, even the pains and disappointments of the pasts, for he is able to change them in an Instant.

Let us let go of our ministry, our people, our love ones for they belong to the father and in his hand they will be well taken cared of.

Let us let go of our dreams, for in his time he will make them become a reality.

Let us abandon ourselves completely and totally into His arms for he cares for us and he desires to carry our burden and grant us rest.

May these words and these thoughts encourage you all as we step out into the year of promise that is ahead of us.

Happy new year to one and all!

God's Handmaiden,
