A Sound Over the Waters
Tony felt led by the Holy Spirit to write the following in August of 2017.
There is a sound over the waters. It is the sound of the Spirit of God. The earth trembles at the voice of the Lord; indeed it breaks the strong cedars of Lebanon. Yes, the earth shakes, and all that can be shaken will be shaken; it must be shaken. Behold, the Lord will do a new thing; the old is falling away. All who have built their structures without the Lord have built in vain. Their hearts are dropping in fear. Their masks are falling off; their deeds are being exposed. All that has been done in darkness will be brought into the light.
The motives of the hearts of men
The motives of the hearts of men are being revealed. The veil is being removed. The whitewashed tomb is being opened. The enemy is weak and off-balance. Babylon is shaking. Satan fears the sound of the people of God. He thought that it was his day, he thought that it was his hour, he thought that his victory was sealed; for indeed deep darkness covers the earth. In deep darkness, light shines brighter. Much has been gray, but a season is coming where all will be black and white. Deep darkness covers the earth, but behold, the glory of the Lord will shine upon His Church! The army of God is being assembled by the Spirit, and in the coming days, those who know their God shall be strong and do great exploits. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Many others will continue to harden their hearts to the Spirit of God who graciously calls them.
The wrath of God is kindled against the shepherds
The wrath of God is kindled against the shepherds who fleece the sheep, who lord it over the flock, who demand submission to man rather than encourage submission to God. They demand to be fed by the sheep while giving nothing from their hearts or hands to the sheep. Repent, or the little that you have will be taken from you, your light will go out, and you shall be put to shame, hopefully being saved as though escaping through the fire. The Spirit of God sent from Heaven to be the administrator of the affairs of the Church shall take His rightful place in the true Body of Christ. No man will need to be called “father”, “teacher”, or even “pastor”; for those who are being led by the Spirit of God will pastor without needing a title, they will teach men to know the Teacher, and they will invite men to know the Father by their radiant conduct and pure words.
Do not despise the burden for souls
Do not despise the burden for souls that the Holy Spirit will place upon you. Do not quench the Spirit of God. Do not despise small beginnings. Small things will become large overnight. Large things will become small overnight. The tables are being turned, bridges are being burned, and the platforms are shifting under your feet. Behold the fear of the Lord returning! Behold the seven-fold Spirit of God resting upon the saints! Why do the nations rage and conspire against the true King? Kiss the Son, lest he be angry.
Those who long for My appearing
I feel as though the Lord would say: Those who long for My appearing, those who keep their robes white, and keep their lamps full: My Spirit of love rests upon you; let us labor in harvest before the end shall come. Surely I will give you the words to say. I will give you the provision to build. I will give you the platforms on which to speak. I will give you the peace of God in persecution that confounds your enemies. I will be your shield and strength. I will be the keeper of your heart. It will not be by your power, or by your might, or by your plans and resources; it will be by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts.
Where are the ones who will submit to the Father
Who is the man that will yield to My Spirit? Where are the ones who will submit to the Father of spirits and live? My eyes roam to and fro searching for those whose hearts are completely Mine. Do you feel My gaze upon you? Do you feel the heat of the gaze of the One with fire in His eyes? Will you yield to Me? Will you fight for Me? My warriors are coming forth, and they shall as David confound the Goliaths who mock the Living God. As David, they will not intimidate by their physical appearance, and their enemies will mock; but even as David, they have fought the lion and the bear, they have been prepared in the desert and in the field, they have been refined as by fire seven times. The Spirit of the Living God shall rest upon them, and no man shall stand before them and their light. No man shall stand before the anointed saints of God in this season. Many shall see and fear and put their trust in the Lord, and the saints will glory in the Lord! They will glory in the cross, by which they are crucified to the world, and the world is crucified to them.
Fear not, for I am with you
Fear not! For I am with you. The hesitation in your step, the hesitancy in your voice, the fear of man which ensnares your soul shall be no more! Step out into the water! For all things are possible with God; all things are possible to those who believe. The rise and fall of many will take place. There will be several things that will look appealing, and it will be easy to be distracted. My beloved, set your face as flint on Me. Do what you see Me doing, and say what you hear Me saying. Just abide in Me, and you will bear fruit that remains. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but destruction will not come near those who make the Most High their dwelling place. Let My love be your home. Let Me keep you as the apple of My eye; delight in the shadow of My wings. For indeed time is short; soon time as we know it will not even be. Your reward truly awaits you; your future is sealed. A place has been prepared for you. The love of many will grow cold, but those who endure to the end shall be saved. Rest in My love. Rest in My love. I go before you and am making all of your paths straight; just stay in step with Me. Don’t trust your physical eyes, but discern by My Spirit. Just stay in step with Me.
