Are You With Me or Against Me?

  

October 9, 2016

The Lord bless you all, Heartdwellers. May we all be given the ability to outsmart the enemy when he comes against us. Surely in this message the Lord is definitely outlining what we can do to prevent things like that from happening.

Worship has been so sweet lately, it's been hard for me to move on. Especially because I've been feeling the need to repent for even the slightest offenses to the Lord. Which I am coming to understand, nothing is slight.

 

We've been in a war zone, guys - but Jesus has delivered us time and time again, so the work carries on. I mention at the end of this message that my days have been peppered with sacrifices and offerings. No doubt for the world condition and the coming elections in our country.

When I sat quietly before Jesus, He began to speak to me. He said, "Time is short."

And I asked, "What do you mean by that, LORD?"

He continued, "The time left to you all to do what is good and right in your lives is short. Therefore, repent for those things you have been holding back from Me. Take hold of this new rope of grace I am extending to My entire Body in this moment. Take hold and make good use of it. Don't live just for yourself. Look around you, see the needs, live for one another, even as I live My life each and everyday for you, that you may grow in holiness and sanctity.

"Please, let no evil speech proceed from your heart and leave your lips. Please pass over those sins so atrocious to Me. Don't think of them twice. Don't watch entertainment glorifying them or replaying dark stories. Embrace holiness, warmth, kindness, doing for others and reaping a harvest of peace from My very own heart. Because truly, when you do these things to one another, you do them unto Me. My peace shall sustain you as you pour yourselves out for one another.
 
"Oh, please refrain from divisions. Do you know how Satan creates division? Very simply he preys on your individual tastes, fears and preferences. He gathers that data, then whoever he wants to bring down, he points out things contrary to your liking. If you are naive, foolish - without charity and wisdom, you then pick at that ministry because you don't like what they are doing, though it is innocent and without fault.

"Take, for instance, worship. Each of you have preferences for worship. Each of you think yours is the best way. Each of you has divergent tastes in music, and each of you think your taste is the holiest and most effective. 
 
"Oh, how mistaken you are!!!

"Satan sees your like and dislike and attacks that ministry through you, because it doesn't suit you. Whether it be fear or ignorance, something in you doesn't accept it. So you begin to believe lies about those who minister that way. You fall in with the dissenters and build a head of steam. Denouncers come forward, finding fault in everything that ministry does. They are all things you yourself are afraid of or don't like. Or don't understand. So, you are eager to detract from them. 
 
"Once you open your mouth against them, Satan collects two scores: a demon just entered through a door of criticism into your life - and now you will be sifted. And others are provoked into detraction and criticism and the ministry is injured. That means all the souls I sent to that ministry, because of its uniqueness to minister just to them, are attacked by lying spirits of division and calumny. And many of those souls are but babes in Me and cannot discern a lying spirit, and certainly don't expect Christians to lie about one another. So, they turn away and go back to wandering out of fear of deception, though nothing about that ministry was deceptive.

"They can't find a home, but Satan follows them until they are so isolated and down-trodden that a kind New Ager can come along and show them compassion and draw them into false doctrines, which Satan applauds and does not undermine or send spirits of Division to. So, in essence, you have become the devil's tools to undo the work I am doing. How tragic! You no longer work for Me, you have taken sides with the enemy.

"Recall how Paul handled the Scribes and the Pharisees who came against him before the Sanhedrin:

Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial." As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. Acts 23:6-7

"So, you see, this tactic is age old, divide and conquer. You think rock and roll is in bad taste, another thinks Gregorian chant is too stuffy, religious and without meaning - so the devils pit you against one another. One is prejudiced against speaking in tongues, another is prejudiced against soaking prayer, another is prejudiced against a personal and intimate, pure relationship with Me and yet another thinks it is only fitting to talk with God on their knees from a million miles away.
 
"May I say I listen to and answer all, no matter what their preference is? But you would take sides and condemn one because it isn't your way?
 
"This is so grievous to Me. When will you unite yourselves together in My heart and stop these useless quarrels? Don't you see you are being used? Played? And all of this divisiveness is hurting Me and separating brothers and sisters.
 
"Well, My dear ones, I did not mean to harp on you, but I hear much too much pickiness and grumbling in your ranks. You are sawing off the branch you are standing on. Can you not see that you are destroying My Body with these useless issues of good and bad taste according to what you personally prefer?

"That's why sheep and lambs wander the hillsides, there was no place safe for them. Scrutiny came against them everywhere they went. And the tragedy of this is, whatever you do to the least of these, you have indeed done to Me.

"Will you continue in this? Or will you repent and receive the different expressions of the faith as long as they still conform to the Scriptures? Not your interpretation, but the true interpretation. 
 
"This is a time of gross darkness, and I need every conceivable means to communicate My love to this death-ridden generation. 
 
"Are you for Me or against Me???"

In the meantime, as the Lord was saying all this, I'm sitting here quietly wondering what He's talking about, because I've been out of the loop and overwhelmed with attacks against us. Personally, in the household and family. So the Lord continued.

"Clare, I miss nothing. And I am not saying this is about music. I am using this example to call to account those who attack the purity of our channel and the deep relationship you and others have here with Me. There has been talk and there are some who believe closeness to Me is inappropriate. Well, if they are so convinced that a precious relationship like that is not to their liking, they can stay with what pleases them. But please don't come here and attack innocent new believers. Stop working against Me. You are opening doors to your own downfall and not doing our relationship any good at all. 
 
"As you judge so shall you be judged."

And I just wanted to say here, if you have a question anywhere about doctrine and what the Lord presents here, please go to our apologetic blog, Triage for Truth Seekers, and find answers to your questions. And you can also access all the teachings just by going to the Search engine that's on the Heartdwellers.org website. That'll bring up all the teachings on a certain subject.

  
Jesus continued, "What I would like to convey here is that I use one kind of nectar to feed butterflies, another to feed bees, another food altogether for sheep, another for lions; each has the kind necessary to their nourishment. What appeals to a butterfly would not appeal to a lion and vice versa. So, please do not take My place by trying to appropriate for all what appeals to you. Rather nourish your own relationship with Me and let others find nourishment in ME in their own ways, as My Holy Spirit draws them.

"The enemy has deliberately sent in demons of division, sectarian spirits, finding fault with what is presented here because it doesn't meet their sectarian standards. This channel is to be a place of healing and brotherly love and no one is to force their belief's on anyone else. 
 
"What I want here is Brotherly Love. That's the church that is guaranteed a place in the Rapture. The other churches had many different agendas and focuses that caused dissension. You will notice I did not promise them deliverance from the time to come.

To the Church in Philadelphia

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens, no one will shut; and what He shuts, no one will open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you....Because you have kept My command to endure with patience, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth....I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown....Revelation 3:7-11

"In Heaven, there are no such arguments. Rather, there is tremendous diversity of expression and all that honors Me and glorifies My Father is accepted and appreciated. If you are Heartdwellers, you will nourish and fortify one another in their own way, you will not dispute and divide. Those who spend their time doing that, have no part in Me. 
 
"Strengthen what remains in your walk with Me, for by your detraction of others, you have lost ground and are walking on thin ice, while the enemy is planning for your downfall. PRIDE PROCEEDS A FALL. 
 
"That truly is My message, Clare. I know you wanted something way different, but this had to be said. I love My children, and when I see them throwing sand at one another, My heart grieves and I long to make the crooked way straight with My love and forgiveness.

"Come to Me if you have been detracting and hurting the flock. Come to Me repentant. I will forgive you and I will restore you, for My heart aches for you. Do not go your own way, it leads to death; rather come to Me and allow Me to heal you."

And that was the end of His message.

Well, family, I just wanted to add here that there are days I just can't get a message out because of health or fatigue. Ezekiel is doing wonderfully and just wrote a new song last night. But it's going to take a lot of vocal practice before either of us can share our songs with you, so please be patient. Yesterday I believe I was laid low for intercession for Ezekiel, because that night he had such a big breakthrough.

We've been seeing this pattern for many years - since we've been married. One of us has a great day, the other carries a burden the entire time. And that's why messages have not been as consistent as I would like for them to be. I have to go with the Lord's agenda for the day and it isn't always possible for me to be here for you if He is moving in another direction.

The day before yesterday I put 6 hours in on the portrait, working through the wee small hours of the morning, and that was one reason why I was toast the next day. I am hoping it will be done soon...we will see! I will know when it is done, I always do. So until then, please be patient with me.

Thank you so much for your precious prayers and donations. We truly do labor for you, day and night. This is our joy. We love you. God bless you all.

Critical Spirit an Open Door/Spiritual Warfare 3

 

August 3, 2016

Well, Heartdwellers, the Lord is taking us by the hand and helping us cross the Santa Monica Freeway at rush hour...without getting run over. Just sayin... We are continually crossing fast-moving traffic in the spiritual realm. And we've been creamed in the past; but this is a new day.

During worship, Jesus came to Me and said, "I'm proud of you. You are doing much better with judgment."

Thank you for helping me, Lord. I hate my pride, judgment and critical spirit - they are absolute poison.

"You can say that again."

They are absolute poison!!!

(We giggled.) Nonetheless this is a serious, serious issue.

"It is, and you are finally beginning to understand the scope of it in your life. It explains why there have been a lot of attacks. The critical spirit is a fast door-opener."

And then He said, "Share with them your experience."

I figured I'd be doing this again...

He replied, "Always. It really helps so many of My children to come to terms with their faults, because you are transparent about yours."

OK. This morning, Ezekiel and I were praying the binding prayer together. And halfway though it, I had the strongest understanding that the battle is in our own hearts more than anywhere else. What good does it do to pray the binding prayer, when I turn around in the next breath and have an accusatory thought, which I follow up on with my own thinking, topping it off with condemnation for that person?

It does no good, dear ones. You might as well forget praying the binding prayer if you are going to continue with judgment and a critical spirit.

I also wanted to share with you, that when He allows suffering because you did have a critical spirit and injured someone else - part of that suffering is for your correction. Part of that suffering is to comfort that person, because they need spiritual healing - so it's a fast offering for them. And part of it is applied to lost souls in the world. So, in other words, the Lord is continually using anything we have as a fast offering, for the work of redeeming souls.

So, don't feel like all is lost if you opened a door. The attack from that is partly to correct you, partly for souls, because you have consecrated yourself to the Lord and given all that is yours into His hands. And it's like a fast offering behind missionaries, so to speak, just the gospel message can be delivered and hearts will be opened. And part of it is a fast offering for the healing of the person you've injured by your words.

But every time I open my heart and mind to be critical of others or hold judgments, every single time...I'm cutting off my nose to spite my face. Not a pretty sight. When Holy Spirit quickened the thought to me that praying the Binding Prayer wasn't going to cover the day unless my heart stayed in the place of charity, I realized how very serious this is.

At that point, the Lord began speaking again, "It is a fact. When you are critical of others, even in your heart or mind without saying a word, you have just opened a door. Not only that, but the thought sticks to the person you criticized and hurts them. So, first you must repent of the thought which you followed up on; then you must pray for the person you just injured.

"This is a spiritual law. So few Christians realize it. The ones that do and live by it are very high up in ministry, because I can trust them. Other ministers, once they get into name calling or accusation, all the demons that have been waiting in line for years fly in the open door and begin oppressing them. The more harm that is done, the worse the oppression they will suffer. And some will even lose their lives. This is a law, a dynamic of the spiritual realm.

"My Children, say NOTHING evil about anyone. Do not linger on an evil thought, do not entertain it, do not follow up on it. Do not. I tell you this for your own good. If you do this, you will suffer. You have just stabbed one of My children in the back and opened a door. Much damage comes through just one critical thought. 
 
"And by the way, most of what you accuse others of, you have been guilty of at one time or another - and the accusation may not be grounded in fact. 
 
"Very often the devils will goad you on with all kinds of thoughts about people who have hurt you, or you feel have done you wrong. They are like cheerleaders cheering you on. They goad you to make all kinds of nasty connections and accusations. Most of the time what they say is pure, unadulterated lies with no basis in fact. You have been very guilty of this, Clare. That's why you are getting so much calumny - at least one reason."

And then, I broke in at this point and said, 'Yes, when we were on the mountain we had people who were known Satanists constantly coming on our property under the guise of an innocent trek in the woods. But there were others that came by, and we didn't know if they were part of the coven or not. But by assuming they were, we opened a huge door, because some of them were just curious and were innocent of any wrong-doing.'

And I think here, it is important to note, we were barraged and provoked by demons to accuse everyone we came in contact with. And that was my downfall.

Jesus continued, "It is important to note that when your mind is perceiving thoughts that are critical of others, you may be picking up on what the enemy is broadcasting to deliberately lead you into judgment, so they can walk right into that open door. In fact, many come with the assignment to open the door and then proceed through it, so they work very hard at getting an opening. Until that door is open, they are stymied.

"This is why, My People, I have continually told you, from the very start, not to judge and to stay away from the news. The news is slanted to get you to criticize. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, whether you started it or not. All that matters is that you took it upon yourself to judge another, and most of the time without even knowing the facts. 
 
"When the so-called facts are lies, then you become complicit in the sin of false accusation. Do you see the wisdom in this, My Brides? The media is being used by Satan to provoke you into judgment so there are open doors in your lives, and the enemy can penetrate and wreak havoc. I very much want you to make this connection, so that you can protect yourself." 
 

Lord, is it ever safe to watch the news?

"The information you get from missionaries is for the most part honest, and gives you an occasion to pray and offer gifts. But the news which is politically controlled is divisive, misleading and manipulative. I wish all My People would come to Me for the news and I will tell them what is important for them to know or pray about. This is why I will send something across your desk, without you asking. But even then, Clare - be vigilant.

"But even in your correspondence, or conversations, watch out when people are having difficulties and are accusing others left and right. It isn't healthy to engage these things, and most of the time the information is sl

Wow...this really gets convoluted and tricky...!

He continued, "I wish you could all see the knives I pull out of the backs of Christians daily. You would not believe the extent to which this is being done all over the globe. And not by Muslims or Communists, but by other Christians. And then they wonder why they've come under such heavy oppression." 
 

I would like to share something with you, Dear ones. You know how you can be in a hurry or get irritated because your loving spouse misplaced something or used something important without thinking it through or asking? This is the most common source of sin in my life. I tend to be very impatient and guarded about my time, because I never finish a day having written to everyone as I should have. Or worked on the painting, or worked on music. So, I am very, very jealous with my time. And if something inconveniences me or makes more work for me, I get resentful.

Guys, this is a terrible poison! Even when you hold it in, it damages you and your spouse. Resentment builds, and pretty soon you have a full cesspool of effluent. Those little things that can irritate and cause you to sigh and wish that hadn't happened? If you don't catch those the very moment they come to mind, you're allowing a seed which can take root and make a very deep crater in your relationship, full of unspoken resentment. And you don't even realize from day to day that it is there, until another thing gets flushed down the drain. It does get full guys, it really does. But worse than that, is the door you opened by being critical. That allows the demons to come in and sift you in so many ways - it's a huge open door, bringing with it ingratitude.

What's the answer? Brotherly love. Making excuses for one another. Thinking back to a time when you did the very same thing or worse. It levels the playing field and you can't criticize them for what you just did last week! Calling to mind their wonderful virtues and all the times they were there when you needed them. And considering how faithful they've been to you, though you have let them down many times as well.

Remember back to when you didn't have someone who truly loved you and shared in your troubles, really caring for you. That in itself is very sobering. Consider how you would feel if they were gone tomorrow. That really helps with appreciation. These are all ways to get ahold of your thoughts - taking every thought captive and submitting it to Christ in all His Divine Humility. He Who humbled Himself, dying the death of a sinner just to have His Church in Heaven with Him. We have not resisted to that point yet - so what do we have to complain about??? Here, I'm preaching to myself.

"THIS IS VERY SERIOUS TEACHING, MY LOVED ONES. I AM TELLING YOU THIS, BECAUSE MANY OF YOU HAVE BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEARTS AND THIS HAS LEFT THE DOOR WIDE OPEN FOR MORE OPPRESSION IN YOUR FAMILIES AND IN YOUR MARRIAGE. AND PLEASE REMEMBER: YOU PASS YOUR EXAMPLE ON TO YOUR CHILDREN. 
 
"I am praying for you all, My Dear Ones. I want to see you enjoying the beauty of your lives. I want you delivered from evil, but many of you have tied My hands by continually opening the same doors. And until you see what you are doing, My intervention will only last a few hours or a day until you open that door again.

"So, look deeply into your hearts and do not allow the enemy to make it his home anymore. Keep very strict vigilance over your thoughts. And anything negative, immediately renounce it. And if you find yourself entertaining it, repent and pray for those you have injured. I am with you in this. This is the season for getting a grip on how you invite the enemy in. I am strengthening you in wisdom and spiritual warfare. Now that you know, blessed will you be if you practice them."

And I'd like to just take a moment and thank you so much for supporting our ministry. Beneath this video, if you click on "show more", it'll guide you to all the different resources we have on our channel.
