For the Lord would say, you have come to a crossroads. One road leads to ease and apathy. The other leads to sleepless nights and battle. Which one will you choose says the Lord? For this day I have placed before you a blessing and a curse. The curse to those that lay down their sword and buckler and ignore the cries of My people. And a blessing to those that hold back the night watches to hear My voice. A blessing to those that pour out their heart like water for the life of their young children that faint for hunger at the top of every street.
For this is the hour of sifting. The winnowing fan is in My hand. The threshing floor is full. The harvesters are few. Pray then to the Lord of the Harvest for more laborers. Those that can tend to the temple and keep the light burning. Let not these be the days of Eli when his sight grew dim and the light in the House of God went out. Let this then be the days of Samuel, the warrior and the prophet.
For the Lord would say, choose you this day who you will serve. For I give you two choices. On one hand is pillow, and on the other is a sword. Will you believe the lie or will you stand and fight? Let you who have wisdom understand what this means. This is the hour for Gideon to take the high places. This is the hour for Deborah to sing her song. This is the hour for David to sling his stone. This is the hour for the warrior to ready his bow. This is the hour for the captives to be set free.
In this hour I will remove the walls tempered with untempered mortar. I will remove those things that hinder and separate. I will remove the schism and the breach. My eyes wonder to and fro for those hearts completely surrendered to Me. Where is the radical? Where are My disciples? The ones that leave father and nets to follow Me? Where are the Peters that can say, "Lo, Lord, we have left all to follow You..." Where are the Paul's that exclaim, "For Me to live is Christ!"
I say to you in this hour, SURRENDER! COUNT IT ALL BUT DUNG TO GAIN THE PERFECT KNOWLEDGE OF ME! FOR THIS IS YOUR HOUR OF VISITATION! THIS IS YOUR HOUR OF TRANSFIGURATION! COME UP! COME UP! COME UP! AND SEE WHAT I WILL SHOW YOU THERE.
For in this place called Cle Elum shall be a river. Yes, a river. And the song they will see is, COME! ALL YOU THAT ARE THIRSTY, COME! AND YOU WHO HAVE NO MONEY, COME! YES, COME BUY WINE AND MILK, WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE... For this is the hour that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophecy. For in this place called Cle Elum shall be the headwaters. From this place shall come a river.
