Matt Sorger: Polarization

Note: This is the third word I've seen recently talking about refining/polarizing/shaking: God is polarizing the Church - those that will cling to Him, and those that will cling to something else - and then He's bringing us into a new season. One of the others can be found (as a video stream) here. --Editor

From Matt Sorger:

The Holy Spirit spoke very expressly to me tonight. When I stood in the office before coming into the room tonight I heard the inner audible voice of the Spirit of God speak to me a word for tonight. But as I sat in this seat, I was taken in the Spirit. And the Lord spoke a very clear word that I want to declare right now.

Holy Spirit said to me that He’s releasing a "clear water revival". And He spoke it over and over and over again to me – clear water, clear water, clear water, clear water -- He’s releasing a "clear water revival". And He said that this move of the Spirit will not be tainted or touched by the hands of man or flesh. It will not be tainted. Listen to what the word of the Lord is saying tonight because this is a very pivotal moment in the Spirit right now. The Lord said that He is releasing a "clear water revival" and that this move of the Spirit will not be tainted by the flesh of man.

CROSSING OVER INTO A NEW SEASON: A GREAT POLARIZATION WILL TAKE PLACE & THE GREY AREAS WILL BE REMOVED

And then He spoke to me and He said that tonight is a night of crossing over. He said that tonight the church is crossing over into a new season. And the Lord said "Mark this date in your bible; mark it on your calendar". Tonight we have crossed over into a new season in the Spirit and the Lord said from this moment forward: black will become very black and white will become very white. And the Lord said He is removing the grey areas. Black will become very black and white will become very white. He said there’s coming a great polarization even within the body of Christ.

He says this very night something has been set in motion in the spiritual realm. And it’s bigger than just this meeting. It’s over the body of Christ in America. Something has been set in motion tonight in the spiritual realm.

Yesterday was the Day of Atonement (Oct. 9), the last day of the ten days of awe of the season of Rosh Hashanah. And the Holy Spirit spoke to me tonight, we have crossed over, church, into a new spiritual season. Tonight is the first night of it. We’re about to see some very dramatic things happen within the body of Christ. Listen to what I’m saying to you tonight. We’re about to see very, very dramatic things happen within the body of Christ.

NEW WINESKIN BEING RAISED UP: APOSTOLIC CENTERS & CITYWIDE REVIVAL

And what I sense also in my heart is that there’s a new wineskin that God’s raising up; there’s a new wineskin Holy Spirit is forming. You know years ago – 16 years ago – Holy Spirit spoke to me that there’s a new breed that God’s raising up. See God started to prepare a new breed 16 years ago. We’re coming into a season of release right now. New wineskins are going to be released and raised up and there are going to be new apostolic works birthed in the earth. They’re already being birthed right now. And the wineskin is going to look very, very different.

There’s wells of revivals that God is opening up within cities right now. And I have a feeling that this word I’m speaking tonight is a whole lot bigger than what we’re seeing in this room. I’m telling you the truth. I saw it clearly as I’ve seen anything in the spirit tonight. There is a supernatural polarization that is being loosed in the spirit realm.

And last night I was talking about the fear of Lord. For those who will come under the umbrella of the fear of the Lord in this hour, tremendous glory will be given to them. Listen to what I’m saying. Those who come under the fear of the Lord in this hour will come under tremendous glory.

A NEW SEASON OF HOUSECLEANING

Grey areas are about to be dealt with. There is coming a new housecleaning to the body of Christ. There is a supernatural housecleaning coming to the body of Christ. And every single grey area of compromise is about to be swept clean. Because the Lord said that this is a clear water revival. This is going to be very clean and pure. Very clean and pure. Pristine water. Pristine water. It’s going to be unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Very pristine water. Crystal, crystal clear. Because God has been preparing over the last 16 years a new breed that will be ready to carry and flow with this move of the Spirit of God.

They have been hidden away in caves. These vessels have been hidden away in caves. And God has been working a pure, refined heart and spirit on the inside of them. God has been working a pure, refined heart of gold on the inside of them. And God has been causing step by step their hearts to be turned away from the things of this world toward the things of His Spirit. Step by step God has been dealing. Step by step God has been refining. Step by step God has been causing hearts of pure gold to come forth to be prepared, so that this move of God can be sustained in the earth.

GOD IS NOT LOOKING FOR HUMAN GIFTEDNESS, BUT FOR A REFINED HEART

God is not looking – hear what the Spirit of the Lord says right now – God is not looking for gifted individuals. God is looking for pure, clean vessels that have been refined in the fire of God. God is not looking for your human giftedness. He is looking for pure, refined vessels that have walked through the fire of God. God is all over this tonight and God is all over you tonight.

God’s getting the bride ready. He’s getting the bride ready for His coming. He’s calling. He’s calling the bride. Get your garments ready. Get your wedding dress ready.

Today I bought a ring; it’s called a purity ring. And written right on the front is the word PURITY. And on the back is the scripture Matthew 5. It is a prophetic sign for the body of Christ right now because the Lord’s not coming back for a harlot; He’s coming back for a bride. He’s not coming back for a harlot that’s running all around with different idols. He’s coming back for a pure, spotless, clean bride.

And I went into the word in Matthew 5 right before the service and I was reading the scripture in Matt 5:13, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost it’s taste (it’s quality) how can its saltiness be restored. It is not good for anything any longer, but to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men."

You are the salt of the earth. If the salt has lost its quality, It’s good for nothing. Quality! God is looking for a quality believer tonight. Then in verse eight, "blessed (happy, enviably fortunate, spiritually prosperous, possessing the happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor, and especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace, regardless of their outward condition, regardless of what their natural circumstances are, regardless of what they have in the natural, regardless of their outward conditions) blessed happy are the pure in heart for they shall see God."

The pure in heart: hearts refined as gold; hearts that have been through the fire; hearts that have been prepared by God. Verse six, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." Many of our bibles say "for they will be filled." Amplified says "for they shall be completely satisfied."

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (purity, cleanness) they will live a life of complete satisfaction. Complete satisfaction. Completely satisfied on the inside.

LIFE JOY

It’s not about a title or a ministry. Nothing that will build the pride of man up. It’s about those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, they are the ones who will live with one hundred percent complete satisfaction in their lives. They will be satisfied. They will have a life joy in their lives. A life joy. Do you know what a life joy is? A life joy is not a temporary moment of happiness because of a good circumstance in your life. A life joy is because your life has been completely filled with the righteousness of God. A deep satisfaction on the inside of you that man can’t take away, that circumstances can’t take away, and certainly the devil can’t take away.

A deep righteousness on the inside. A deep life joy. A deep satisfaction. How many here want to live a life of satisfaction? That you just have that sense of being satisfied. You’re not striving. You’re not unhappy in your moment. Listen you’ve got to learn to enjoy your moment while you’re on the way to where you’re going.

You can still have vision for the future and at the same time be completely satisfied on the inside of you. You can still have unfulfilled vision in your life and yet at the same moment live completely satisfied on the inside of you.
