The Lord spoke to me, saying - "I look down to see whom I may fill with My spirit. Who will I pour My spirit upon? Who will make room?" The Lord went on to let me know that He is not hidden, but to seek and we will find. The Lord actually did it in a humorous way by referring to the game of Hide and Seek - that we are not playing Hide and Seek. The Lord definitely wants us to do more seeking. The Lord does not hide from His children.

 November 2000: "The hand that formed the encirclement of greatness in the heavens, a home for the light,- showering stars and angelic beings, is the hand that was pierced for you and me. The heart that rejoiced at their appearance bled for my sin. His eyes beheld the glory of the heavenly and the reproach of men. He has trod the fiery stones in the presence of the Almighty as well as earth. Jesus has known the greatness of holiness and He has known the condemnation of flesh. Split between two worlds before the foundation was, His destiny certain but its entailments undesired. Still, He suffers at the carelessness of faithless hearts until the great and terrible day of the Lord when these hearts will be judged.

The Father is pleased at the success of His plan and the saints rejoice for their newly redeemed lives found by the grace of God in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! And amen." Sarah Lasiter

 February 1999: "The words being sent to you are for your own strength and will become your song in the days to come. Do not be afraid to speak forth My words child. Rivers of Living Water will spurt forth for all who are thirsty for the waters of righteousness. You will be filled to overflowing and will revive those I will put in your path. My Body will eat of the peaceful fruit of righteousness as My chastisement takes effect. The purging must come first. It is not pleasant but those who put their trust in Me will endure.Those who seek peace and security now instead of suffering for My Name are not worthy to be called My disciples. Calling upon My Name means much more that what many have been taught in these last days. Study the third Commandment more thoroughly. These are not empty words! There is a principle that flows much deeper than the natural eye can see. Call upon My spirit of truth to anoint your eyes with salve that you may see what is only revealed by the spirit of truth. My Commandments are a screen which all must pass in order to be useful bread meal. A fine screen in which only fine meal can pass. I have made a provision for all in My Word. But do not take time to sift and prepare -they leave it to others to do so. Each must work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Do not be forgetful of what I have brought to pass. My Words are life. Take, eat and drink of My spirit and live. Do you have ears to hear?" Debbie Orr
