Prophetic Words by Michael Smith
7.26.07 michael smith
I long to romance my people, to reveal who I really am, to lavish upon them My great love for them. That they would have an everlasting joy in my presence. To lead them into places they have not know, where I reign and nothing can separate them from me.
Have they not heard? Will they not see?
How long will My people reject Me?
You say, "how have we rejected you, oh God?"
And I will declare to you, it is the hardness of your hearts.
For I have chosen a people for my own possession to exalt and bless that every principality and power and every created thing might know that I am and there is no other.
Tell them of My great love for them, tell them to no longer murmur and complain and trust Me. Tell them I will pursue them with an everlasting love and I will cover them and protect them by hiding them in My presence.
Only do not harden you hearts.
Oh how I long for My people who are called by My name to receive My deep love for them. I long to give them rest.
Oh come to Me, love only Me, allow Me to bring all that I have for you into fruitfulness. For great is that which I have purposed for you.
Enter in, enter in. I will be loved, will you enter into My love?
Behold I wait, open up to Me. Let Me love you.
Father

Michael you are to share this word with the elders for the new year.
They are to get before me alone and read that which I have given you
for the elders. They are to listen to that which I am speaking to them
as they come before Me. And when you come together in the new year
share with each other what I have spoken to each of you, as you have
listened to My voice. For I will reveal My will for you at that time.
Elders you are to trust in me only and not in the ability of others
though others may speak words of wisdom. Learn to hear My voice
concerning other voices and you will not be confused by those who would
set themselves up as an authority in your midst. I will never
contradict myself nor will I give my Glory to another. Those who look
to share in My Glory will only be removed from that which I am
establishing in your midst. In the year ahead there will be a move of
My spirit in your midst that if i had told you as to how great that
move would be, you would not believe it.
There are those who still live in an old wine skin, and who have become
comfortable in that wine skin. I do not want to lose them, yet if they
will not turn from the past to the move of My spirit, I will surely
remove them from your presence. Be not afraid My sons, whom I love.
Do you not find your differences amusing? Yet I have brought you elders
together for such a time as this. Many will come and many will go yet I
will establish My purposes in your midst. Listen to My word
attentively, do not easily lay aside that which I speak to you. I say
to you elders seek My face in prayer as you enter this new year. I
desire men who will get before Me in prayer and holiness. Linger there
in My presence do not speak rather be still and know that I am God. And
when you leave My presence, surely all will know that you have been in
My presence and I in your midst. For My spirit will be upon you like a
sweet fragrance for all to receive and rejoice in.
Learn to embrace each other, trust one another, love one another, break
bread together in My presence. Try Me in this and see, have I not
spoken it to you? I will pour of My spirit on you, only do not depart
from My word which I speak to you this day. Or I will remove you, even
as one extinguishes the flame of a candle. If you allow Me to have My
way in you and be in your midst as you enjoy your times together, I
will anoint you with My Holy anointing which no man can stand before.
You have only a glimpse of that which I desire for you, so do not
assume anything rather seek Me. Do not seek out others, rather seek Me.
I will draw those who you are to embrace and accept into your midst,
therefore seek only Me. Many will speak out against you if you follow
My word. Only stand steadfast in that which I speak to you in Our
quietness together.
I am calling you elders to a difficult walk, yet a walk where I will
act in and through you. It will be a walk of being slandered,
misunderstood, gossiped about and yes even physical suffering. But
mighty will I be in your midst and great will My presence and anointing
be on you, as you walk by faith and trust in Me.
Listen to those watchmen who I have put in your midst, for If they come
to you with a concern of another, do not take it lightly for I want you
to either correct or remove that person who would pollute or defile the
sons and daughters who are in your care. I am not a God of tolerance,
rather a God of mercy and long-suffering. Yet I will no longer allow My
church to be subjected to things it was once subjected too. I am
preparing My church will you be apart of it? I desire a bride that is
set apart unto Me which is pure, Holy and blameless. How can I move in
your midst if you limit Me?
I am speaking to you elders, do not take My word lightly. Even you, who
have known about agenda’s can be caught up in agenda’s. None of you are
above another. Submit to one another for together you are strong. As
you walk in My words many will see and seek Me because of your
obedience.
You are to set aside a time when you come together not to speak among
yourselves of church life. Rather you are to set aside a time for Me
and I will call that time Holy. Do not seek Me with your minds of
understanding. Rather seek Me with your hearts, your pure hearts. For
surely I will be in your midst. Long for Me, expect from Me, believe
Me. Allow Me to deposit Myself into you as you come together before Me,
say’s the Lord, the mighty One, the Holy One who desire’s to show signs
and wonders among you. Only do not forget My words. Do not slip into a
place of comfort and complacency. Remember My words for they are true.
He who is strong in your midst, the Mighty God

You need to press into not just My will, but rather My presence and My
will will be revealed. For sitting in My presence, in the midst of My
glory you are changed into My image. And as a result, knowing My will
for yourselves individually and corporately. To press in is a
deliberate, concerted and purposed effort on your part individually and
corporately, to not allow distractions of the world, the flesh etc. nor
to allow oneself to to be kept from a determine decision to seek My
face. I am a God that can be found when I am sought with a whole heart.
My purposes for the body is one of good for I am a good God. Revelation
can bring understanding, correction and judgment. But over all is My
mercy. And My desire is that you be the head not the tail, that My
presence can manifest revealing My glory, to bring forth My purposes in
this place for a time such as now. That those who see might know that
there is a God in heaven and that He still reveals Himself here in this
place to change mens hearts and to reveal light in the darkness. Shout
it out to all who will listen I have not departed and I still move in
mens hearts. Rend your hearts and press into Me and see if My words are
not true. For I have, I am and I will continue to show Myself in your
midst until all My purposes for the Tabernacle are complete. Fear not
neither be discourage for I have not forsaken nor abandon the body of
My Son at the tabernacle church. My will shall go forth and accomplish
My purposes. Seek Me and be part of that which I am doing.

Joshua's generation were to take the land and to posses the land and
receive all that God had for them. But there is a generation being
raised up now who will go beyond that of Joshua's generation. They will
be a people who will want to see the kingdom of God and they will not
love their life even unto death. They will not care about what they are
getting rather they will long for God’s purposes to be manifest in the
earth. They know their God desires to have a people that will allow His
manifest presence to be exhibited through. They will not be moved by
circumstances, trials or the lust of the world. They are willing to be
poured out as a sweet fragrance for their God. Their heart will be to
proclaim the kingdom of God is here. To see the lost be gathered unto
their God. There will be an authority on this people. The lost will see
them and believe because of the works they will do in the name of their
God. They will not care for the approval of man only for approval that
comes from their God. Their words will be that of God because they will
only want to do that which they see the Father doing. Blessed is this
generation for they will see God and not fear. They will not be as past
generations who had unbelief and tried the Lord by their lack of faith.
They will have the power of the Lord for they will not be satisfied
with milk. But they desire solid food of the mature, a food which is
given daily for those who are wholly dependent on their Father. They
can not live on that which was spoken yesterday for it will have
spoiled. Their food is like manna which must be received daily. And
daily they will seek the Lord to receive from His table. They will be
aggressive in their walk before man, yet they will have the love of
Christ in their hearts. Many will judge them because they will be
unfamiliar with how they walk before their God. Woe unto those who
blaspheme that which God has made Holy. Do not despise that which God
has made Holy. Rejoice when you see them for the kingdom of God is for
such as them. Rejoice for the time is near when all flesh will see the
salvation of God. These who overcome will go before you. Rejoice for
your God is doing a great and mighty work in your midst. Do not murmur
against the most high for He is Holy. He will accomplish His will on
the earth through a people who will wear the name “The Lords, The
Lords, We belong to the Holy One of Israel”. Prepare a way for My
people say’s the Lord. When you see them, know that they are mine and I
will act on their behalf. For great will be the place where they walk,
it will be called Holy. Because they will lose their life for My sake
and the sake of the Kingdom of God. -- The Most High
8.14.2006 Michael Smith
Father speak to me, why have these things come upon your people?
Michael, My people are carnal in their thinking and in their
living. What message do My people send to the world? Does the world
hear that which My church is presenting to them? Does not My church say
to the world, ” come be miserable like us and be saved?” My Son who
walked with me in all things, spoke of joy and abundant life. Those who
heard and saw Him, knew he was different. He had an authority that the
religious leaders of that day did not have.
Even today there are those who speak of Me, but do not know Me. That is
why My church suffers as it does. My people are fleshly. They desire to
enjoy the things of the world. It is only My presence that gives them
real satisfaction. They sit in front of a box and say, ” entertain me,
make me feel good.” They go about their lives while My church is
hurting. Why would those in the world desire to be apart of My church?
When My church can not even help itself?
Gossip, murmuring, strife, and unforgiveness are what the world sees.
Therefore I must purify My bride. I will make her ready. Through trials
and tribulation will I purify her. When she cry’s out, “ come Lord
Jesus come” then she will have been made ready. No longer will her
affections be caught up into the things of the world. Those who are
lost will look upon her and see what grace and authority My people walk
in. And they will cry out for My people to show them who I AM. And I
will reveal Myself because My people have allowed Me to set them apart
unto Me.
Do not think your suffering is in vain. For there are those who suffer
for righteousness sake through many trials even unto death, who will
receive the crown of life, because they loved not their lives even unto
death.
Can a man determine his future? Can he really plan his life? His life
is but a breath. A breath that is given by Me. Can a man choose to
breathe? Will My people continue to seek that which does not satisfy?
You say, “ we pray, we read your word, we give of our income.” I say
the scribes and the Pharisees did the same thing.
I long for intimacy with My people. I desire to linger there with you! To fellowship
with you! To love you! Has your time, which is not determined by you,
become a time only for your enjoyment? Set aside a time for Me. Allow
Me to fellowship with you! Just you!
Seek me with a whole heart. Long for Me as I long for you. For you will
find Me gentle and tender of heart. And when you walk through the water
you will not be drown! And when you walk through the fire you will not
be burned! The time now is for My people to be desperate for Me! Be
desperate for Me! For only in Me will you find rest for your souls. My
peace will I give to you. And the world will then come running for that
which I have given unto you. Love those things which I love and
separate yourself unto Me. Allow Me to live in and through you to all
those who are lost. And I will exercise My power and wonders through
you in order that others might see that I AM He who reigns and desires
all men to come unto Me.

5.20.06 Michael Smith
I saw in my spirit beams of light going out in all directions from
here, they go past the limits of our city and county. Then God began to
speak, You have heard it said “ I do a New Thing among you” And I am
doing a new thing among you, but also a end time move among you as
well. For I am preparing My body to fully act in response to the head
which is Christ. I will prepare a people who will realize who they are
and will be a complete Bride to My Son. All things will be complete in
Him and He will surrender all things unto Me. Across the earth I am
preparing a chosen people, a royal priesthood who will believe Me and
obey me because they love Me above all. Will you allow My will to be
accomplished in you and in this place? Will you challenge Me at every
turn until I can no longer relent from removing you from My presence? I
ask you to come and let us fellowship together and learn of Me. Are not
My ways higher than yours? Come before Me with ears to hear and eyes to
see. Or will you harden your hearts as many have who have gone before
you? Today you are hearing My voice which will you choose? My plans for
you are much bigger than any of you see at this time. Enlarge the tents
of your understanding. See beyond that which is natural. Do not limit
Me. I am bigger then anything you can envision. Will you be a part of
My work or will you continue in that which is passing? I am a God who
desires a people, who desires to be My people. I will be a friend to
them and they will know Me. Seek Me for I desire it of you and I placed
a love for Me in you. Worship Me in this place. Worship Me for all I
have done, Worship Me for all I am doing, and Worship Me for all I will
do. Worship Me.

I see this place we call the Tab. as being a place for the whole body of Christ;
I see many chairs like the ones you are sitting in filling this room.
I see weekend conventions or seminars regularly.
I see many ministries operating from here and touching the world.
I see a night of worship where the people of God regardless of Church affiliation can come.
I see a newspaper where christians can read what events are happening in our area.
I see a gathering place where different parts of the body can come together to fellowship.
I see a place where all Christians can come and stand before God as one people.
I see this place being where the body is encouraged to move in their callings and gifts.
I see a people that are encouraged to not limit God in their lives by dependence on man.
I see a fellowship that encourages interaction with other churches and not isolation.
I see welcoming area pastors to speak here.
I see multi-involvement across denominations.
I see a place for those who need an avenue to launch their ministries.
I see a network of ministries having a place for interaction.
I see a place that is led by elders and not directed by a man.
I see God moving mightily in this place beyond anything we have seen in the past.
Now what is our responsibility in this;
We can understand we have a debt free campus to be used for God’s purpose.
We can use these facilities to not be in competition with local churches.
We can see ourselves as a people here to serve the body of Christ at large.
We can begin to encourage others in the vision God is giving us here.
We can see ourselves as a body who comes together and labors towards that vision.
We can and must enter into our calling or we will die.
5.7.06 Michael Smith
Do not allow your future to be determined by the past. Do not get
caught in former ways of how I was in your midst. Will you, after
walking with me, now limit the way I move among you? Would you have me
be as a man in your midst or would you desire to see the God of
Wonders? Were any of you there when I said “Let us make man in our
image”? Were you there when I purpose the mystery of Christ in you? Do
you now speak for me as to what I will do? Speak that I might
understand that which I will do. For to those who has ears to hear I
will speak. For I am doing a work among you that those who went before
longed to see. I am establishing my people in their inheritance. For I
am the great I am and I will cause them to be my people. And they will
walk the earth as the men of God of old all combined. And I will work
wonders through them for they will desire me. They will not be led
astray to the lust of the world or the whims of man. Because they will
do this and not limit me, I will truly be with them in all that they
do. For I desire to move as the wind in your midst. Will you somehow
capture but a breeze and determine its direction? Honor me by allowing
me to move in your midst. I will not give you a Moses, for I desire for
all of you to come before me and I will speak to each of you. Try me in
this. See if my words are true. When you stand before me I will look
upon your heart. Let your heart be pure and I will fellowship with you.
I will deliver you. I will set the captives free. But to those who set
their heart to purpose rebellion, I will spew from my mouth. And your
deception will become obvious to all. For I will reveal men’s hearts. I
am the God who jealously desires you. Come and seek me with pure hearts
and I will be found. Father
