“Elsewhere in John’s gospel, Jesus made seven profound “I Am” statements..." 

To know my wisdom is also to know my times. You are not walking in wisdom if you are proclaiming Me to be the Lion when I want to come as the Lamb. You must know how to follow Me as the Lord of Hosts into battle, and you must know when to sit with Me as the Lord of the Sabbath. To do this, you must know My times, and you can only know My times by staying close to Me. “The coming judgement for those who call upon My name but do not seek Me will be that they will increasingly fall out of timing with Me. They will be at the wrong place, doing the wrong things, and even preaching the wrong message. They will try to reap when it is time to sow and sow when it is time to reap. Because of this, they will bear no fruit. “My name is not I WAS, nor is it I WILL BE, but I AM. To really know Me, you must know Me in the present. You cannot―

know Me as I AM unless you come to Me every day. You cannot know Me as I AM unless you abide in Me. “Here you have had a taste of My judgements. You are about to see Me in other ways. You will not be able to fully know Me as I AM until you live in eternity. Here the different aspects of My nature all fit together perfectly, but they are hard to see when you are in the realm of time. This Great Hall reflects a part of Me that the world is about to see. This will be an important part of your message, but it will never be all of it. In one city, I will send My judgement, but in the next I may send mercy. I will send famine to one nation and abundance to another. To know what I am doing, you must not judge by appearances, but from the reality of My presence. “In the times that are now coming upon the earth, if your love for Me is not growing stronger,―

it will grow cold. I Am Life. If you do not stay close to Me, you will lose the life that is in-you. I Am the Light. If you do not stay close to Me, your heart will grow dark. “All of these things you have known in your mind, and you have taught them. Now you must know them in your heart, and you must live them. The springs of life issue from the heart, not the mind. My wisdom is not just in your mind, nor just in your heart. My wisdom is the perfect union of both mind and heart. Because Man was made in My image, his mind and heart can never agree apart from Me. When your mind and heart agree, I will be able to trust you with My authority. Then you will ask what you will and I will do it because you will be in union―

with Me. “Because of the difficulty of the times in―which you are called to walk, I have given you the experience of beholding My Judgement Seat before the appointed time of your judgement. Now your prayer has been answered. What you did not understand was that during the time when you were waiting for Me to answer this prayer, I was answering it every day through all that I allowed to happen in your life. “It is better to learn of My ways and My judgement through the experiences of life than to learn of them in this way. I have given you this experience because you are a messenger and the time is short. You already knew what you have learned here, but you did not live by that knowledge. I have given you this―

experience as mercy, but you must choose to live by it. “I will use many messengers to teach My people to live in righteous judgement so that they do not perish when My judgements come upon the earth. You must hear My messengers and obey their words that are from Me without delay, for the time is now short. To hear them without obeying will only bring a more severe judgement upon you. This is righteous judgement. To whom much is given, much will be required. “These are the times when knowledge increases. Knowledge of My ways is also increasing with My people. Your generation has been given more understanding than any other generation, but few are living by their understanding. The time has come when I will―

no longer tolerate those who say they believe Me, but do not obey Me. The lukewarm are about to be removed from among My people. Those who do not obey Me do not really believe in Me. By their lives, they teach My people that disobedience is acceptable. “As Solomon wrote, ‘Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.’ This has happened to many of My own people, and their love has been growing cold. My judgements are going to come more swiftly as grace to keep My people’s hearts from giving themselves fully to evil. They are about to know that the wages of sin is death. They cannot continue to call―

on Me to deliver them from their troubles when they still [love] sin. I will give a little more time to judge yourself so that I will not have to judge you, but that time is short. “Because you have been here, even more will be required of you. I will also impart more grace to you to live by the truth that you know but you must come to my throne of grace every day to get it. I say to you again, the time has come upon the earth when no one will be able to stand in truth without coming to my throne of grace each day. What I am about to tell you is so that you and those who are with you cannot only live but stand and prevail. As My people stand and prevail over the time of darkness that is coming the creation will know that light―

is greater than darkness. “Life and death have been planted in the earth and life and death are about to be reaped." I came to give you life. The evil one comes to give death. In the times ahead, both will be seen in their fullness. I will therefore give those who obey Me an abundance of life such as has never been seen on earth before. There will be a distinction between [My] people and those who serve the evil one. When you preach the cross and live by its power, you will do My will. Those who serve Me and not their own ambitions will soon recognise one another and be joined together. Those who have the true fear of God do not have to fear anything on the earth. Those who fear Me will not fear one another,―

but will love each other and sit together at My table. “I have called you to see, and you will see how My kingdom will come. The devil will be cast down to the earth and will come to the earth with great wrath. But do not fear his wrath, for I am also about to show My wrath against all iniquity. The evil one and all who follow evil will soon know My wrath. You must see these things, but you are not to fear them because I dwell in My People and am greater than all. As you behold Me you will not fear. If you fear, it is because you are not beholding Me. “When the evil in mankind has become fully united with the evil one, the great time of trouble will come upon the earth. Then all of mankind and the whole creation will―

understand the futility and tragedy of rebellion. At the same time, My people will become fully united with Me, and My great light will stand against the great darkness. Those who walk in lawlessness will fall into the deep darkness. Those who walk in obedience will shine forth as the stars of heaven. “Humility and obedience will always lead to Me. As you come to Me, you will behold and manifest My glory. The heavens and the earth are about to behold the difference between the light and the darkness. You are called to live between the darkness and the light, in order to call those who live in darkness to the light. Even now I do not desire for any to perish.” “How pitifully insignificant we are!” “If all of mankind―

could just have a glimpse of Your Judgement Seat, they would all quickly repent. Lord, why do You not just show Yourself to the world so it will not have to endure this evil? No one would choose evil if they could see You as You are.” “I will reveal Myself When evil has run its full course, then I will show Myself to the world. As the evil one is being revealed through fallen men, I will be revealed through restored [men]. Then the world will see Me — not just the glory that I have in heaven, but as My glory stands against the darkness. My glory is more than what you see here; it is My nature. After I reveal My nature in My people, I will return in the glory that I have here. Until then, I Am seeking those who will follow Me because―

they love Me and love the truth, not just because they love this glory and power. “Those who choose to obey when the whole world is disobeying are worthy to be heirs with Me. These will be worthy to rule with Me, to see My glory, and to share it. These are the ones who do not live for themselves, but for Me. Some of the greatest of these brethren of mine are about to be revealed. They will stand for truth against the greatest darkness. They will remain steadfast through the greatest trials. I have brought you here, and I am sending you back to encourage them to stand and not faint for the time of their salvation is near. “I am also sending you back to warn these mighty ones. Satan saw the glory of My Father and beheld―

the myriads who serve Him, yet he still fell. He fell because he started to trust in the glory and power that the Father had shared with him instead of trusting the Father. Those who will be entrusted with the power and glory I share with them in these times must not put their trust in the power or glory, but in Me. True faith is never in yourself, your wisdom or the power that I have given to you but in Me. Even the greatest angels will gladly bow before those who have been proven in this way. The angels marvel when suffering men and women who have beheld so little of the glory here remain steadfast for Me and My truth in times of darkness. These are worthy to be called My brethren and to be called the sons and daughters―

of My Father. “On earth, the truth often looks weak and easily defeated. Those who see from here know that My truth always prevails. The time when I stand up and bring My judgements to the earth has only been delayed so that My brethren could prove their love for Me by standing for truth at [any] cost. My truth and My goodness will prevail for all of eternity, and so will all who come to Me because they love the truth. These will shine forth as the stars which were made in honor of them.” “There are times to adore the Lord and there are times to honour Him with the greatest fear and respect. Just as there is a time to plant and a time to reap; it is wisdom to know the time for each. True wisdom knows the times―

and seasons of God. I brought you here because it was time to worship the Lord in the glory of His love. I am now taking you to another place because it is time for you to worship Him in the fear of His judgement. Until you know both we can be separated from each other. I would have always visited with you when I could, but we would have rarely crossed paths. It is hard to leave such glory and peace, but that is not the whole revelation of the King. He is both the Lion of Judah and the Lamb. To the spiritual children He is the Lamb. To the maturing He is the Lion. To the fully mature He is both the Lion and the Lamb. You have known this in your mind, and I have heard you teach it, but now you will know it in your heart, for―

you are about to experience the judgement seat of Christ. “You have called upon Me for grace. This request I never deny. You shall return, and the Holy Spirit shall be with you. Here you have tasted of both My kindness and My severity. You must remember both if you are to stay on the path of life. The true love of God includes the judgement of God. You must know both my kindness and severity or you will fall to deception. This is the grace that you have been given here, to know both. The conversations you had with your brethren were My grace. Remember them.” “You are but one of many who have been prepared for this hour. Preach and write about all that you have seen here. What I have said to you say to My brethren. 

Go and call My captains to the last battle. Go and defend the poor and the oppressed, the widows and the orphans. This is the commission of My captains, and it is where you will find them. My children are worth more to Me than the stars in the heavens. Feed My lambs. Watch over My little ones. Give the word of God to them that they may live. Go to the battle. Go and do not retreat. Go quickly for I will come quickly. Obey Me and hasten the day of My coming.” “Now that He has stood He will not sit again until the last battle is over. He has been seated until the time when His enemies are to be put under His feet. The time has now come. The legions of angels that have been standing ready since the night of passion have now been―

released upon the earth. The hordes of hell have also been released. This is the time that all of creation has been waiting for. The great mystery of God will soon be finished. We will now fight until the end. We will fight with you and your brethren.” “I will always be with you like this. However, I want to be even more to you than the way you see Me now. You have seen My kindness and My severity here, but you still do not fully know Me as the Righteous Judge.” “There is a freedom that comes when you perceive truth, but whomever I set free is free indeed. The freedom of My presence is greater than just knowing truth. You have experienced liberation in My presence, but there is yet much more for you to understand―

about My judgements. When I judge, I am not seeking to condemn or to justify, but to bring forth righteousness. Righteousness is only found in union with Me. That is the righteous judgement — bringing men into unity with Me. “My church is now clothed with shame because she does not have judges. She does not have judges because she does not know Me as the Judge. I will now raise up judges for My people who know My judgement. They will not only decide between people or issues; they will make things right, which means bringing them into agreement with Me. “When I appeared to Joshua as the captain of the host, I declared that I was neither for him nor his enemies. I never come to take sides. 

When I come, it is to take over — not to take sides. I appeared as the captain of the host before Israel could enter her Promised Land. The church is now about to enter her promised land, and I am again about to appear as the captain of the host. When I do, I will remove all who have been forcing my people to take sides against their brothers. “My justice does not take sides in human conflicts, even those involving My people. What I was doing through Israel, I was doing for their enemies, too — not against them. It is only because you see from the earthly, temporal perspective that you do not see My justice. You must see My justice in order to walk in My authority, because righteousness and justice are the foundation―

of My throne. “I have imputed righteousness to the people I have chosen. But like Israel in the wilderness, even the greatest saints of the church age have only aligned themselves with My ways a small portion of the time, or with a small part of their minds and hearts. I am not for them or against their enemies, but I am coming to use My people to save their enemies. I love all men and desire for all to be saved.” “Until the last battle is over there will always be some of our brothers who are being used by the enemy. But that is not why I am telling you this now. I am telling you this to help you see how the enemy gets into your own heart and mind and how he uses you! Even now you still do not see everything the way―

that I do. I am not for them or against their enemies but I am coming to use My people to save their enemies. “This is common with My people. At this time, even My greatest leaders are seldom in harmony with Me. Many are doing good works, but very few are doing what I have called them to do. This is largely the result of divisions among you. I am not coming to take sides with any one group, but I am calling for those who will come over to My side. “You are impressed when I give you a ‘word of knowledge’ about someone’s physical illness or some other knowledge that is not known to you. This knowledge comes when you touch My mind to just a small degree. I know all things. If you were to fully have My mind―

you would be able to know everything about everyone you encounter just as you have begun to experience here. You would see all men just the way that I see them. But even then, there is more to fully abiding in Me. To know how to use such knowledge rightly, you must have My heart. Only then will you have My judgement. “I can only trust you with My supernatural knowledge to the degree that you know My heart. The gifts of the Spirit that I have released to My church are but small tokens of the powers of the age to come. I have called you to be messengers of that age, and you must therefore know its powers. You should earnestly desire the gifts because they are a part of Me, and I have given them to you―

so that you can be like Me. You are right to seek to know My mind My ways and My purposes. But you must also earnestly desire to know My heart. When you know My heart, then the eyes of your heart will be opened. Then you will see as I see, and you will do what I do. “Jam about to entrust much more of the powers of the age to come to My church. However, there is a great deception that often comes upon those who are trusted with great power If you do not understand what I am about to show you, you too will fall to this deception “You have asked for My grace, and you shall have it. The first grace―

that will keep you on the path of life is to know the level of your present deception. Deception involves anything that you do not understand as I do. Knowing the level of your present deception brings humility, and I give My grace to the humble. “That is why I said, ‘Who is so blind but My servant. . . ‘And that is why I told the Pharisees; ‘it is for judgement that I came into the world to give sight to those who do not see and to make blind those who see . . .If you were blind you would not be guilty, but because you claim to see, your guilt remains.’ That is also why My light-struck Paul blind when I called him. My―

light only revealed his true condition. Like him, you must be struck blind in the natural so that you can see by My Spirit ― Your Imagination.” You do not understand just how much we have looked forward to meeting all of you. You are soldiers in the last battle; you are the ones everyone here is waiting to meet. "Worship only God and grow up in all things into Him. Never make any Man your goal but only Him". You must return to the cross. “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve." Ye have not chosen Me, but―

I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that [your] fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, he may give it you." If you will return, O Israel, says the Lord, if you will return to Me, and if you will put away your abominable false gods out of [My] sight and not stray or waver, And if you swear, As the Lord lives, in truth, in judgment and justice, and in righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation), then the nations will bless themselves in Him and in Him will they glory. “I tell you the truth. Before Abraham was born, I Am!” The supreme—power of the universe is One with human―Imagination.  

If you respect the Lord, you also will hate evil. Hate is a very powerful word and a destroyer of many. Hate is a deadly spiritual―virus that travels through all the bloodlines of every human. It’s an [ancient] subtle―hate, and its companions are anger and jealousy. "You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you [become] murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as (your) hearts are concerned]. You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that (you) seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask. [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because [you] ask with [wrong] purpose and evil, selfish [motives]. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual desires, lusts and pleasures." This―

ancient hate which resides in the majority of humans as you can see is the cause of all the troubles, deaths and diseases of the world. If you look closely you will see a pattern of that ‘hate’ in your bloodline. For example if you are on the phone to someone, it could be family or other and you have a pleasant conversation before you hang up. Once you hang up, you start cursing and hating and talking bad of that person, ignorantly―thinking that God is not seeing what you are doing…you are destroying yourself through your feelings with that subtle 'hate' which grows in you like a baby, then when that hate is fully mature and ripe in you, time to give birth… will then destroy―you because you refused to remove hate, anger and―

jealousy from your heart. When you have hate, anger and jealousy in your heart, you are not a child of God―you think you are, but you are not―you cannot call [yourself] a child of God with hate, anger and jealousy in your heart until [you] remove those demons―hate, anger and jealousy from out of your heart [completely]. “‘You must not hate your brother in your heart. Don’t think you can hate someone and pretend to love them and hide that subtle hate (He who hides his hate is a liar) from the Father. If that’s what you are thinking, you delude yourself. That subtle hate in your heart in time will get the better of you and destroy you. You need to let go of those three demons: hate, anger and jealousy in your heart then―

you will live! But I tell you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who hurt you. “Don’t think that I have come to destroy the law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets. I have not come to destroy their teachings but to do what they said. Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. You cannot hate to get to heaven, you must love to get to heaven―for God is love, not hate. That is why the Way to Heaven Is Hard; the gate is very narrow and only a few go through that gate. But there are massive sign-posts saying: hate, anger and jealousy at the wide gate that leads to hell and many people enter through―

that gate. You can never [at all] enter the kingdom of God with hate, anger and jealousy in your heart. If you remove hate, anger and jealousy from your heart [completely], you will see―heaven because that [will] make―you a child of God. If you harden your heart to the truth, you are not a child of God and you will be destroyed. All people will hate—you because you follow—Me. The world cannot [be expected to] hate—you, but it does hate—Me because I denounce it for its wicked works and reveal that its doings are evil. "I tell you the truth." God is the One who gives seed to the farmer. And he gives bread—

for food. What is the seed that fell on the good ground? Love and hate have a magical transforming power, and we grow through their exercise into the likeness of what we contemplate. “If anyone comes to Me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters more than he loves Me, then he cannot be My follower. A person must love Me more than he loves himself! Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy―Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own. "Control yourselves and be careful! Christ—

Jesus, will Himself [complete] and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle [you]." It is true that some preach about Christ because they are jealous and bitter. But others preach about Christ because they want to help. They preach because they have love, and they know that God gave me the work of defending the Good News. And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in-you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good―work] and perfecting and bringing it to full―completion in you.

Men pray to a god that does not exist, an external [god] Secular History; a god outside of Man. They traded the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served things that were made by Man. But they did not worship and serve the God who made those things. All external worship outside the Body of Christ is anti-christ, idol—worship. Those enemies of Christ were in our—group. But they left us. All your Spiritual—Power should be [directed] to the Father who is in-you which is "Salvation—History" and not outside of you. “Before I made [you] in your mother’s womb, I chose [you]. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special―work. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jesus is the Only [One] who can save—

[people]. No one else in the world is able to save [us]. For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine—nature]. And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual—stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every—angelic—principality and power]. If I use the word God or the word Christ, the word Jesus, the word Lord, and in any way it conveys the sense of an existent someone or something (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) outside of yourself—you have the wrong concept—

of God or Christ. "Even though we once did estimate Christ from a human—viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh]. “Tell them this message: ‘These false gods did not make heaven and earth. But they will be destroyed and disappear from heaven and earth. So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect]. "Be sure that no one leads you away with false ideas and words that mean nothing. So—called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition [men’s—

ideas of the material rather than the spiritual—world], just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of Christ the Messiah]. These men revile (scoff and sneer at) anything they do not happen to be acquainted with and do not understand; and whatever they do understand physically [that which they know by mere instinct], without thinking, but by feeling the way like irrational beasts when primitive, carnal, external—minds of men couldn’t understand anymore—by these they corrupt themselves and are destroyed (perish). Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing—

and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). They hated the message [from] the [Holy] God of Israel. And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity. But he who endures to the end will be saved. They have taught their hearts to be selfish. God will punish them. They beguile and bait and lure away unstable souls. Their hearts are trained in covetousness (lust, greed), [they are] children of a curse [exposed to cursing]! Then I will become very angry at them. I will leave them. I will turn away from them. And they will be destroyed. Many terrible things will—

happen to them. Then they will say, ‘God is not with us. That is why these terrible things are happening.’ How terrible it will be for people who call good things bad and bad things good. Then the Lord said to me, “Human being, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the dark? Have you seen each man in the room of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord doesn’t see—us. The Lord has left the land.’” He also said to me, Yet again you shall see greater abominations which they are committing. Can a man make gods for himself? Such are not gods! And everything said of Him in Scripture, which you were taught to believe was secular history, proves itself [in] you to be Salvation History. It's a History of Salvation! Accept God’s—

Salvation to be your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. If you are willing and obedient, you—shall—eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you—will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. "For The Word that God [speaks] is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two [edged] sword, penetrating to the dividing―line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest—parts of our [nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts, purposes, intents, attitudes and feelings in [our] hearts." There is therefore now no—

condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Sin will not be your master, because you are not under law [as slaves], but under God’s grace. [as subjects of God’s favor and mercy]. So the person who lives in Christ does not go on sinning. If he goes on sinning, he has never really understood Christ and has never known him. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son—the Word Christ [God—Himself] to be an offering for sin [in the guise of sinful flesh]. [God] condemned―

sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice]. So God used a human life to destroy sin. He did this so that we could be right as the law said we—must be, because we all belong to each other in the same body. For you have put off the old—man with its evil practices, and have put—on—the―new—man, which is renewed in knowledge after the—image of him that created—him. Now we do not live following our sinful—selves, but we—live following the Spirit—For the weapons of our warfare are not—carnal [physical weapons of flesh and blood]. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone observes―

My teaching [lives in accordance with My message, keeps My word], he will by no means ever see and experience death. And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this? The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.] When I plan something, it happens. I do the things I want to do. Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring―

his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better—course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance. Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high-time now for you to wake-up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The “night” is almost finished. The “day” is almost here. So we should stop doing things that belong to darkness and take up the weapons used for fighting in the light. Let us live in a right way, as in the daytime. We should not have wild parties or get drunk. There should be no sexual immorality or―
