NAPLES AND ALL S. FLORIDA AREA

(given to a group gathered together in a home)

 FEBRUARY 13, 1986

I would seek a people that will stand with Me, saith the Lord.  I seek a people that will worship Me.  I seek a people that will fellowship with Me forevermore, yea, and walk up and down with Me.  I heard your prayer in this city, surely I heard your prayer.  I have seen a faithful remnant in this city.  I cannot say that of thy sister cities, even those across the other coast.  I have seen the faithful that are here in this city.  So I would proclaim unto you this day that surely I shall prolong (the time of mercy), detain that which I have purposed for a rebellious people.  For in this city I desire to raise up a standard, saith the Lord.

I desire to bind My people and My body together through prayers and intercession, through faithfulness.  There will be a remnant in this city and My body shall come together and fellowship together.  It is in this city, yea, it shall come for I have heard the prayers of My faithful ones.  In this very city I shall bring together My body.  From different churches and different fellowships, yea, from different backgrounds, I shall bring them together and they shall come and fellowship together.  I have heard the prayers and seen the faithfulness in the heart of this very city.  I have seen the remnant and I have heard, saith the Lord.  I have bent down low, and I have bent down and hearkened to My little ones.  Even that which I have purposed in this very place and state, yea, I would say, for their rebellion, for the idolatry, for the sin, saith God, for they mount up high, the sins among My people.  I have heard the prayers in this city, saith the Lord.

Gather thyself together while you can gather together.  Come together as a body and let Me bind you together, while you can be bound together.  Surely I do a work in this season, that you would grow, yea, that you would be nourished.  For would I not like in  this hour that My body come together?  Would I not desire that My people come together and sit, yea, at the banquet table?  Yea, and that they go back to their respective churches and fellowships and they carry even in their bosoms the nuggets of truth.  When they come together again as the Spirit leads them and woos them, that I may teach them.  I desire to teach My people the nuggets of My kingdom.  Those things that would cause them to be able to bring the keys to the lock, to open up the ways into My kingdom.

Surely I desire to do this in this very city.  Thou hast cried for mercy this day, saith God. Thou hast cried out for mercy this day.  Thou has cried out for mercy this day, and so it shall be.  For thou shall know the mercy of God.

Do you not understand that there has been a proclamation upon this very state for the sin and the idolatry, the homosexuality and the perversion and the drug addition?  For the sin in the church, stubbornness, and prideful ness and stiff necks?  Yea, did not your fruit wither up in the winter, saith God?  Did not the drought come, saith God?  Did not disease come, saith God?  Has that not been a natural sign, yea, in this very state?

THE LORD THY GOD IS LIFTING HIS HAND for the willfulness and pride, yea, in this very place.  The sins, yea, in this very state have mounted up into the very heavens.  In this very state all sin abounds and all the evil intents of the heart have become as a Sodom and Gomorrah.  You cannot equate this place with other places.  Evil excels in this very state.  It excels and even leads, saith the Lord, in this very state.

Through a remnant in this very city, saith the Lord, I am hearkening to your prayer.  Surely I am staying My hand for a season of time.  If you will hearken to Me . . . if you will come together . . . if you would submit one to the other . . . if you will pray and intercede . . . if you will gather together as a body . . . if you will love one another, visit one another, and lay your life down for one another . . . if you will open up your heart to one another, and yea, if you will receive those I send, and know by the Spirit, My prophets and apostles I am sending forth, yea, I shall do a work, saith the Lord.

In this very hour, My beloved ones, judgment has passed on this very state.  Judgment has already been passed on this very state. There is a remnant in this city, there is a remnant in this city and you are a part of this remnant.  The Lord thy God would say unto you: KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN A SERIOUS PLACE, a serious place saith the Lord.

For are you not a small city?  Are you not a small people?  Are you not a remnant in this very city?  You are not many. I would say, you are a handful in this very city. But have I not sent in My prophets and apostles to see how many righteous are standing?  How many righteous were in this city?  How many righteous in the House of God?  I would say, there have been but a few, saith the Lord.  Surely, there is sin in the camp and abominations and a stench has come up to My nostrils, saith the Lord.  The abominations have been overflowing, the cup has been running over, but I would say, that you would know, surely I look for a remnant and look for a people.  For I am a merciful God, I am a merciful God.  My mercy endureth forever.  My mercy endureth forever.

Do not take these words lightly this day, saith thy God.  Proclaim these words throughout this city, that you would know this serious place that this very state stands in, that you would know in the heavenly realm. judgment has been passed on Florida.  When judgment has been passed, it means the hand of God is being lifted.  But I would say to you that you may know, that if you would proclaim it through the city, and the congregations in the city and through your congregations and through your fellowships, I would say unto you . . . the weights and balances are in your hands.  The weights and balances are in your hands.  For surely I require of you to be a people of prayer and intercession, a people that could come together and cry out to the Lord, a people bound together in a spirit of love.

Put down your arguing, your strife, your jealousies, your gossiping, and all divisions saith the lord.  Do not think your pastors are going to come together in this very city.  Nay, for many stand there in the pulpits that I have not placed there.  Come together as a body saith the Lord.  Come together and submit unto the hand of God.  Come together and praise the worship Me.  Seek My face early, saith God.  Seek My face early, and so it shall be and so it shall be.

Know the Lord thy God shall move in the midst of your city.  You shall know what season of time you are in IF YOU WILL HEED THE VOICE OF THE LORD THIS DAY.  I would say unto you, continue in the paths to gather thyselves together, even come together and worship Me.  Come together, kneel together, brother by brother and sister by sister.  I would say, regardless of where you go on Sunday mornings, or Sunday nights, make that time, make that time when you would come together and  pray and I shall hear, saith the Lord thy God.

I SHALL HEAR THY PRAYER AND BEND DOWN LOW.

Even as you stand in this place, as far south as this very state, as far south as any place in the US, saith the Lord, there is a remnant here.  I have sent My servants time and time again into this very place.  Is there one righteous?  Are there ten righteous?  Are there twenty righteous, saith the Lord?  I would say that you would know that which has happened in the past is taking place right now.  (Sodom and Gomorrah)

You have looked at these ministries and have seen them come and go.  Why do you equate bigness with the anointing?  Why do you equate big names with anointing?  This does not mean they are MY anointed ones, saith the Lord.  Would you know an apostle if I sent one?  Would you know a prophet if I sent one?  For I would say, you equated these things with names and positions.  For when I send Mine, you shall not know them by the great strength they come in, yea, and how many people travel with them, yea, (their cars) their horses, their chariots, saith God.  You shall not know them by that.  But I would say unto you, you shall know them for when I speak through them THE WORD SHALL BE PERFORMED.

AND SO IT SHALL BE.

note:  This was one of the last of the prophecies to South Florida.  Did Naples heed the word of the prophet?  God said the judgment was already passed, but He was giving a season of time because of the prayers of His saints.  The responsibility rested with the remnant in Naples.
