I’ve never heard a more clear and urgent instruction from the Lord for all of His people at this time. He’s very clearly saying COME OUT FROM HER!
When I first heard Holy Spirit say this to my heart, it was after my cry to Him for what to speak out to His people. I knew He had given me a voice, but what did He want me to say? I asked this in response to the increased unveiling of the plans of wickedness which have been set up to deceive us and control the nations. I felt the great urgency of His heart as He spoke these words to mine. COME OUT FROM HER!!! Knowing this was scripture, I looked it up:
“I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues.” Revelation 18:4 (AMPC
This is speaking of Babylon, which is described as the great harlot… the Babylonian system which has been behind all of the greed and corruption and therefore basically all human suffering in the world. This is the same spiders web of evil which is being increasingly unveiled, and which the Bible tells us will fall in one day. It is the counterfeit bride… the antithesis to the Kingdom of God. To see the Kingdom of God over the earth (the knowledge of the glory of God like the waters cover the sea Habakkuk 2:14), Babylon must fall. And she’s going to.
“We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches to the clouds.” Jeremiah 51:9 (BSB)
The problem is, many are far more entrenched in Babylon than we’ve had any idea. We didn’t know how insidiously she has crept her way into every area of culture and every nation and tongue. Many do not realise how deeply they have come into agreement with her. And the Lord is saying, COME OUT FROM HER. COME FULLY INTO CHRIST. COME INTO SONSHIP. Because He is uncovering Babylon, she’s about to fall, and all those who are still in any form of connection or agreement with her are going to fall too when she does. So disconnect with her now!
It wasn’t long after this that a friend shared the song, ‘It’s a Move’ with me, and the cry of the heart of this song is for God to move on our behalf. And we certainly look to Him to do that, and need Him to do it. Yet as I was listening to this song, the Lord said to me strongly, IT SURE IS A MOVE! BUT IT’S MY PEOPLE WHO NEED TO MOVE!
I knew exactly what He was talking about, because He again showed me the picture He’d given me about two years, when He first spoke the words NO MIXTURE to me. It was a picture of the golden calf. When Moses came back down the mountain to find the people were worshipping the golden calf they had created (in Exodus 32 – this was their version of what they thought God was like or wanted Him to be), He asked, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” Those who chose the Lord’s side were saved and lived. Those who did not choose the Lord’s side might not have realised in that moment that by NOT choosing, they were subjecting themselves to death, but that is exactly what happened. The big key here: There was NO MIDDLE GROUND.
Where there is mixture in our hearts in any form, we will be mixed in with Babylon. Mixture is anything short of sonship – absolute submission to the Lord Jesus Christ in every single area of our lives and every moment of every day. That does not mean perfection, but it does mean that our hearts are perfectly towards the Lord. Please hear me: IF YOU DO NOT HEAR THE INTIMATE VOICE OF THE LORD DIRECTLY TO YOUR HEART AS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE, AND IF YOU DO NOT LIVE A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE TO HIS VOICE, YOU ARE LIVING IN MIXTURE. AND IN THE DAYS TO COME, MIXTURE IS GOING TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE.
Why would that be? It’s the same reason that Jesus said, If you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth (Revelation 3:15 – 16 AMPC). Why would Jesus rather someone be cold than lukewarm? Because if you’re cold, you know you’re cold and you better find Jesus or you’re on your own. But if you’re lukewarm, you think you’re hot, you think you’re safe and you think you’re free from agreements with Babylon… only to find out that you’re not, when it’s too late. When Babylon falls, those who tried to carry mixture will fall with her. Only those who have come out from her will stand unscathed at the end of this thing as God exposes, roots out and destroys, so that He can then build up and plant.
Holy Spirit is saying, THE DAY OF THE GREY IS OVER. THERE WILL BE NO PLACE FOR THE LUKEWARM TO HIDE. And WHOEVER IS NOT FOR ME IS AGAINST ME.
For a long time, the church has thought there was a third option. Sit in the pews, don’t make a fuss and get the ticket to heaven. But that’s not how it works. And the Lord simply cannot can’t bring blessing to pew warming, because it’s not intimacy with Him, and the blessings and protection are found in the mysteries that are uncovered as we hear His voice in the secret place. Nothing more than hearing His voice and obeying it is going to cut it in these days.
The danger of lukewarmness is also because we have been invited into the very life and heart of Jesus Christ. He desires for us to carry His heart to the world. Yet what did Jesus say with regard to satan and his own heart?
“…the ruler of this world comes and He has nothing in me.
“John 14:30 (NMB)
There was not one thing in Jesus’ heart which was in agreement in any way, shape or form with satan’s. That’s why He was so powerful to destroy the works of the enemy everywhere He went. There were no thought patterns that had been influenced by satan’s kingdom. Jesus was so one with His Father that He didn’t even speak a word or take an action unless He first heard it from God (John 15:19). That’s the adventure of intimacy and obedience He is offering us. When we have agreements in our heart (whether we are aware of them or not) with satan’s camp, it renders us unable to come fully into the life of Christ, in oneness with Him.
So what does this all mean and what should we be doing, practically speaking?
In the midst of all this, the Lord led me to speak with a good friend who often receives profound dreams from the Lord. In his dream, there was a situation in a high level political setting, and the people involved had uncovered something which looked like corruption by those intent on causing evil. They said I KNOW THIS MUCH, WE CAN NO LONGER PLAY BY THEIR RULES.
This is a word for us, church. We can truly no longer play by the rules of those who have established this Babylonian system! The set ups and deceptions have been strategically placed for generations – particularly in religion, the banking and financial system and in the medical system.
Specifically, this is what I’ve heard:
COME OUT FROM HER RELIGIOUS SYSTEM, THE HOUSE OF SAUL!
COME OUT FROM HER FINANCIAL SYSTEM!
COME OUT FROM HER MEDICAL SYSTEM!
These systems are full of corruption, each one setting itself up as a source other than God. You may think you are not entrenched, but do you sit on a pew to hear the ‘word of the Lord’ from the preacher, yet do not hear and obey the intimate one-on-one words of God directly to your heart? Have you set yourself as the servant of the financial system by being enslaved to debt? Do you think like mammon wants you to, from a place of limitation and lack? Do you put earning money before relationships? Are you allowing those in the medical industry to dictate your health options to you and prophesy your future rather than going to God Himself?
The House of Saul is the house of manmade traditions, the house which has a form of godliness, yet denying the power of God. In the House of David, intimacy with the Lord, utter submission (willingness to obey anything the Lord says) and absolute obedience (actually doing it, not just intending to) are the way of life. And because of that, so too is living testimony.
The financial system is full of corruption, deceit (like printing money out of thin air, or ‘taxing’ the people silently through inflation), false mirrors and distractions. I don’t even have time to go into it here, but it’s been designed to enslave people their entire lives, fill the coffers of the elite by the hard work of the people, and then to groom them for socialism and ultimately communism. It is the antithesis of wisdom, governments ‘managing’ their financial houses in ways that could only cause households to fail if they managed funds the same way. More on that in another word, but when you see the whole picture, you’ll want to get out of it with everything in you!
The medical system and ‘big Pharma’ are so corrupt you would probably not even believe me when I say what’s going on, but there’s enough evidence to know that the big pharmaceutical companies are profiting off sicknesses they have created by filling our lives with toxins and coercing people to ignore God’s ways of health and wholeness. There is a pharmaceutical mafia which destroys many from bringing God’s free healing solutions to the world. Pharmaceutical drugs are the fourth highest cause of death in the world, yet multitudes flock to them because the people have been groomed to mask symptoms instead of heal causes, and to look to the Doctors for health advice before they do Holy Spirit. In addition, the medical profession was supposed to swear to protect life and do no harm, and now not only is the murder of babies supported by this industry, but its nurses and doctors are being told they must conform to participating in such procedures. To top it all off, the medical industry is shaping up to be the biggest tool of mass manipulation, force and control through the suggestion of mandatory vaccinations. Does this sound like it has any agreement with the Kingdom of God to you? Get out of it!
Coming out from these systems is going to require different things for different people, but the time is today and not later to seek Holy Spirit as to what His ‘Come out from her’ call looks like in each of our lives.
This great harlot is going to fall, and so is anything that is connected to her too. It’s going to come with a lot of noise and a lot of chaos, but the people of God are to remain IMMOVABLE, UNSHAKEABLE AND UNOFFENDABLE. This is the stance of sons. And in the midst of all of this noise, those who will sit in the stillness and quietness of the secret place are going to receive the blueprints of heaven for the replacement Kingdom of God systems that the Lord wants to establish. The falling down of the harlot is not the end – it’s just the beginning of the Kingdom era, where the world is actually going to know the glory of the Lord like the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). The Lord is going to show us how to SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF KINGS – the problems that the world has never been able to solve because they’ve tried to find the solutions without God.
“The bricks have fallen, but we build [all the better] with hewn stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put [costlier] cedars in their place.” Isaiah 9:10 (AMPC)
This is going to be a great exchange – BABYLON FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD! This is when we will see Micah 4 come into fulfillment – the people of the nations of the world streaming to the mountain of the house of the Lord (which I believe to be representative of the Kingdom of God) asking us to teach them how to live in His ways.
Hear me clearly. Not everyone who calls themselves a ‘Christian’ is going to be part of that mountain. In fact, without a lot of moving out from the agreements of the world and into the Kingdom of God, people can call themselves that until they are blue in the face, but it won’t make a difference. There’s a world of disparity between those who identify as ‘Christians’ and those who are actually believers, walking by faith. Only the believers will be able to stand unshakeable on the mountain of the House of the Lord and display the Kingdom of God to the world because it’s impossible to do so without knowing Him, trusting Him and obeying Him implicitly.
So, Holy Spirit is asking each of us to consider our ways and to come to Him in quietness and trust, expecting Him to show us how to do an immediate and definite exit from all agreements with the harlot, before she falls. This is not a time for terror – it is a time for excitement! It is going to bring you into a place of intimacy with the Lord that you have never before known. It is going to leave you holding blueprints for the Kingdom which are going to be your greatest delight to birth alongside your King. Be blessed by this word, be obedient, be prepared, and you will be in the right position at the right time.
