Dear Steve,

The Lord spoke to me recently about what He was presently doing (1997) in the body of Christ and what He was transitioning into (1998).

Present:

"For the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you." Deuteronomy 23:14

The present move by the Spirit of the Lord is to introduce another level of holiness to the body. In the midst of this wind, it appears like all of hell is prevailing in the individual lives of the Church. For a new holiness, there must be a new purging. 1996 ended the winking of God (Acts 17:29-31) on the ways of man in the Church. 1997 began the imposition of God's ways upon the Church.

When God is walking through your camp, it causes the ways of flesh to be exposed - old things that have been dormant or unsurrendered. Satanic influences in our lives to be exposed. It will seem as though demonic onslaught is too powerful to withstand. In reality, what needs to seen is that God is stirring these things for our deliverance. He wants to release His power to the Church, but cannot in its present state.

This is truly a day where that which is built on our foundations (1 Cor 3:11-15) is being exposed by adversity. It's a time of going back to the foundational basics of prayer, fasting and living by the Word of God. He's shaking the Church! The goat mentality is being separated out of the sheep. He's listening for His name to be called upon!

Transitioning Into: "Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people." Exodus 19:10-11

1997 has two months left in it (two days). This is the time to allow God to cleanse our lives. Get ready...on the third day (January 1998) I will reveal Myself to My people in ways that they have not known Me. This will begin the year of "New Beginnings" or "Culmination". Signs , miracles and wonders shall be the expected norm for those who have stood in the midst of the current wind of God. He's positioning us to be ready for harvesting. Our Lord will begin the "shaking the world". Again, He's listening for His name to called upon!

Pastor Bret Wade
