Dear Church,

The Lord is getting our attention via many vehicles of His vessels these days. My pastor, Rodney Howard-Browne, had a Ministers' Conference I attended a couple of weeks ago, and the message to the ministers and leaders is one for the hour. I have had in me these same words of warnings for the Church for awhile, too, and bring them as an itinerant prophetic ministry for such a time as this.

When I heard my pastor telling how it is in the ministers and leaders who are not growing in righteousness or the anointing nor doing much soul-winning, and how they are responsible for taking many under them further from God by what they do and how much they need to hear God and do what is right so their sheep will grow holy, I rejoiced!

Ministries from the top to the bottom of the list of "Known" and "Little Known" are into qualifying spirits and unrighteousness. They are not walking in the anointing for winning souls in their ministries. They may have ten or more different programs of one kind or another going on - but little anointing is there for the work of the soul-winning harvest that is for such a time as this.

These ministries keep busy with wolf appointments because they do not have the anointing to flow and the glory of God in the church to cast out that evil during church services so the sheep can emerge from wolf clothing.

Ministers that are not into righteousness are possibly trying to protect the tithes coming in on Sunday and Wednesday or whatever week night they have church, and not doing what God is doing in the earth for His Church today.

Please remember, dear brothers and sisters, that I am not talking to the ministers in this message who are doing the right things for the Kingdom of God to be seen on earth as it is in heaven, and I am talking to me, too, as I bring what I get in me as an itinerant prophetic ministry.

There are ministers who try to take their cities by warfare meetings and meet to pray. But they do not have the anointing on them and their flock to go after the devil and chase him out of their city by soul-winning the entire city. This is the day of the anointed bringing in the harvest. Praying is good - but the people who know their God will do great exploits. Amen!

The lack of anointing is one of the reasons why ministers are having the qualifying spirit on them. Ministers need help to see new and lay down on the altar of God their ministries. Die to self and let God resurrect them in the way He wills - not the way it has been.

The church is in transition. Any of the ministers who can not hear the word of God given today for change may miss Him. No more doing prayer walks without winning souls while doing it. Prayer walks are fine as long as souls are won during those prayer walks.

The anointing is what the devil is afraid of. Righteousness is what the enemy is afraid of. Souls won to Jesus by the anointing on a minister and his flock - instead of going to Turkey and renting a stadium to get the Queen of Heaven evil out is how cities are won for Jesus.

The Love of Jesus, righteousness, anointing, soul-winning, and lack of the fear of man is what will take our cities in America, Turkey and anywhere else. Amen.

If ministers do not like the wolves they have as sheep - let them take a look at themselves and see what lack of anointing, etc. may be keeping others from being set free under their ministry. When we as ministers can take a good look at ourselves and see where we fall short and cry, "God, please change me!" - God will help us change.

The Love of Jesus, anointing and righteousness of God on us who choose to die so Jesus can live in us for all to see will change the world. The anointing breaks the yoke - but where no anointing is, the yokes cannot be broken. Amen.

This is not word for anyone who is out there in the highways and byways winning souls and seeing their cities changed and nations changing. I commend you, honor you and thank God for what you are doing to make a change in this world for Jesus - I pray for you!

Below is a word from a well known prophetess and I pray it will help you to see what I have been saying as an itinerant prophetic ministry in the above article. Thank you for your time.

Blessings,

Joan Ann

UNRIGHTEOUS RIGHTEOUSNESS
by Nita Johnson

We shared an article with you by our dear sister Katherine from Scotland, in which she writes about a powerful experience she had through which she was shown the self-righteousness of ministers first, then the Church. We are going to take the liberty to expand upon that sharing some things that the Lord has shown me regarding that same issue.

The Lord has dealt with me for many years concerning the self-righteousness of the Church. It is indeed a grievous thing to Him as we stunt our personal growth and inhibit our relationship with Him as a result. Further, it is a deadly symptom of the religious spirit.

Recently, I was ministering in the Rocky Mountains. As it happened, I found myself ministering to a group of people who had fallen in love with the Old Testament and were diligently studying it. Since I myself love the Old Testament I thought that was great. However, I found something else had begun to take place as well. They had unwittingly fallen into the trap of legalism. I knew that I needed to converse with the leaders about this and was in my room praying when suddenly I was lifted up in the spirit as John the revelator was 2000 years ago and found myself face to face with Moses of the Old Testament. He was standing with the two tablets of the Law behind him. Each tablet was greater in size than a man, so they extended from him to some degree. In the backdrop I could see something that looked like the temple. Perhaps even the temple that Solomon built. I don’t know. Seeing me, he lifted up his hands toward heaven, and in wrath cried out. “The Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” For those of you who know your Bible you will recognize that from the Scripture and is found in John 1:17. I don’t know if he would have spoken anything more to me. The terror of the Lord gripped me so quickly that in fear I pulled out of the trance. (Acts 10:10) When I later tried to tell my friends the Danowits about what had happened I wept and trembled trying to get the message out. I remained under the fear of the Lord the rest of the day as many things began to unfold which ultimately broke the yoke of legalism the group had fallen into. I will forever cherish the leadership, as they were patient and deeply concerned in restoring the right foundation to their Bible studies.

Legalism is simply another form of self-righteousness. And, I would dare say that every Christian including the great apostle Paul falls into this trap at some point in their Christian walk. The sin begins when we are made aware of it and don’t repent. Yeshua (Jesus) showed me what the garment of self-righteousness looks like. It is a dull murky gray, transparent garment that is full of holes that are caused from the worms of self-righteousness that are slowly ingesting it. Further, it is a garment of shame for it exposes our nudity. I wept and wept when I saw it. But, in His great mercy, Yeshua also showed me the garment of true righteousness that comes only from God. As Katherine already explained, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Self-righteousness can be recognized in many different ways. When we hear sermons and attribute what we hear to everyone else and forget that we too are sinners. When we shun brothers or sisters in the Lord because we think they are not as spiritual as we are, or are below our notice or income bracket, we are serving self-righteousness. If we are strangers to a regular and systematic life of repentance before God for our own sins, trespasses and offenses before Him, I can promise you, we have more self-righteousness than we would ever want to see.

If we have a difficult time with correction, we are in need of God’s grace to free us of this deadly enemy. It may show its face in many different ways that we don’t have space to mention. The important thing is that a person, who is blinded by this deadly sin, has little understanding of the grace that comes by Yeshua. Further, they have little patience or mercy for others who are trapped by one sin or another. To know Yeshua in a personal way is to despise ones own righteousness, and to love and cherish His grace, and to cling to His righteousness.

As we begin to repent of our self-righteousness and seek the Lord that He might impart His own righteousness, it can thrust us into some pretty painful self-revelations. However, the fruit of the journey if not abandon is rich and wonderful. It is a road that is well worth the time and pain it may take to travel.

Ministers who propagate a Gospel of grace without responsibility, and rewards without cost are in danger in the days ahead. These people need lots of prayer lest Yeshua send judgment upon their ministries.

On the other hand, ministers that spend a great deal of time in the Lord’s presence will always teach the Church to count the cost of discipleship, and by the grace of Yahveh embrace it. Conversely, those individuals who are hearing the voice of the spirit today are not seeking the dainty morsels of yesteryear. They want to hear the truth about God and about themselves.

The reason the Lord gave this profound experience to Katherine is because He is getting ready to deal very strongly in the area of our self-righteousness and He wants us to be ready. Moreover, He wants His ministers to be ready that they not end up a casualty. Seek the Lord’s face my dear brothers and sisters. In your seeking invite Him to do a deep work in your heart, as He promises us that if we will judge ourselves, He will not have to judge us. Henceforth, we might be found approved in the day of His visitation.
