August, 2004
Greetings!
It doesn’t seem possible that August is just about gone. In fact, by the time you receive this newsletter, it will be gone. Time just seems to roll by so quickly, and once again, I find myself late in getting the newsletter out. I just returned late last night to find several emails asking me if they had missed the newsletter. There are also a lot of telephone calls and letters to be answered. Please be patient with me, and I will respond as quickly as I can. I did not forget you all, but the Lord has been keeping me on the road a whole lot anymore, and with such urgency. All indications are that I have a lot more traveling to do in the next few months. I am also sensing change coming again.
I have been traveling in the
central and northern part of
In October I will be in
Sometimes I feel like John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness. The Church is still in a stupor, and many of the prophets are busy flaunting their titles, building a name for themselves, working on their own agendas, and building their own kingdoms so they are prophesying out of their own spirits instead of prophesying from the mouth of God. The Lord said, “They claim to speak for Me, but I have given them no message! If they had listened to Me, they would have spoken My Words and turned many from sin. Do they think that I do not see what they are doing? They prostitute their anointing and speak peace when there is no peace. They do My people no good at all!”
In my last three meetings here
in
Before the violent shaking of the Church begins, He said that He must deal with many of the prophets. Those who are walking their own way, speaking from their own spirits, not His, must be disciplined. They must be brought in to complete submission. He said that He will no longer tolerate their rebellion, pretense, and deceit.
On the other hand, He said that He is beginning now, one by one, to send the prophets that He Himself has trained in the wilderness in to many congregations. Many of these are unknown. Nameless, faceless people, but with faces set like flint to walk His way and do His will. He said that they are a strange and wonderful breed, dedicated and holy unto the Lord.
The Lord said that these will come forth with a fierce countenance, and they will shine like gold. They will not be able to be bought by any man, ministry, pastor or elder. The Lord said, “They are Mine! They have been refined by fire, and they hold only to Me! They speak only My Words, and do only My deeds! I shall confirm their words with My hand, as they raise their voices in judgment against the false systems of the Church.”
He also said, “None of mine go unless they are sent. None of Mine point to themselves, but they point all men unto Me. None of Mine strive for position or ranking, but leave their futures to Me. None of Mine speak in My Name unless I give them words to speak, for they properly fear and reverence My and My Word. I will not tolerate the use of My Name or My Word falsely anymore.”
“I AM righting the wrongs that have been allowed in My House, and bringing correction wherever it is due. I AM bringing Mine to the forefront, those who are faithful and have My heart for My people. They shall now lead, and they will prepare the people for Me. They will faithfully teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane. Truth shall be embraced in My House! No more darkness in My House! True promotion comes from Me, and it is Mine who will now displace those who were unfaithful.”
“Even My leading ministers will stand back in wonder and receive these men and women as My prophets, for surely the fear and conviction of My Spirit shall fall upon them, and they shall know that these are Mine, and Mine alone. Many shall take heed and repent, that I might stay My judgment, and then a great outpouring of My mercy shall come forth.”

A Prophetic Word to the Samuels, Sauls,
Davids, & His Merry Men
By Mona McReynolds
To the Samuels out there: “You have been with Me even before you were born, called, and ordained. You were introduced to this world at a time when the priesthood was entering in to a corrupt path as the sons of Eli did. You would grow up around them, and watch as the progression of corruptness took its toll. You were a part of them, but not of them.”
“You have prophesied over future kings and anointed them with oil as Samuel did to Saul and David. You have done both, and seen both kinds of leadership emerge. So have your garments been taken in hand by the Sauls, and torn and ripped from your robe of prophetic calling as you have stood and prophesied their kingdoms being ripped from them. You have also spoken to and stood by the Davids, as you have seen them chased by spears of jealousy from the churches, and driven into the wilderness there to dwell in caves. This has been your destiny and calling and you are the seasoned ones, the matured ones, the Mothers and Fathers of this present age.”
“To you I say, “Well done! Your reward is Me, and what awaits you in the days to come. Continue My work and calling within you! Protect, encourage, and support My Davids that are about to begin their reign, for they will need you!”
TO the Sauls out there: “Your kingdoms are being ripped away from you, and the people are scattering, no longer looking to the tallest, most handsome and outward trappings. They have become disenchanted and scattered like sheep without a shepherd. They feel betrayed, abandoned, and hopeless. But I AM the Good Shepherd, and will seek and save that which is lost, and return it to My safe pastures.”
“Even in the wilderness now
there is a great host of those who have come out of
To the Davids out there: “I have not only sent you out from the palaces, and the king’s table, but I have prepared the wilderness and the caves for your protection and a time of retaining. You know how to be a shepherd, but now you must learn to lead goats as well, and be taught how to become strong of heart like that of a seasoned warrior. For that, I gather unto you all the misfits who have already learned that life is hard, life is not fair, and life has its many battles.”
“These men and women I have gathered around you will come to you because they recognize that I have drawn them to you, and that the Spirit of God dwells within you. What their heart and spirits need is the Living God and leadership of their spirits. And what you need, David, is their practical experience of day to day living out there in the world with all their knowledge of business, combat training, use of weapons, building, basket weaving, tilling the land, (something shepherds don’t really do much of) …etc. In other words, I am sending them to you to help you be versed in many things. In short, they need you, and you need them.”
“When you come to rule and reign, these misfits will be the leaders in your armies, your kitchens, your building programs, teachers all having learned some new tricks of an old trade … etc. In exchange, you will teach them how to worship, and lead them in the path of God as you play skillfully on your harp, or whatever instrument I have put in your hand to do so with. You will teach them how to sling rocks at the enemy with skill, and the power and grace of God, going before you and them.”
