A Word to the Prophets

by Meri Burlingame

I speak unto my prophets and prophetic ministers. I have called you and you are Mine. I called you forth out of the darkness of death unto salvation. Many of you I have saved in miraculous ways because the enemy chose to destroy you lest you come forth and do damage to his kingdom. Many of you have been guarded by the prayers from generations before you, who like unto yourselves, glimpsed what My purpose is as this age comes quickly to a close.

Even as you have been called forth through the cries of my people before you, I have chosen you this late hour to begin to do two things which many of My faithful Voices have already heard and even now are seeing in you, the fruit of their obedience.

#1. I ask you to call forth my children up out of the darkness--I ask you to lift up weak arms and feeble hands, and to graciously put the Rock underneath my tired people. You do not have to be seen to do this. Yet I would often bury you in a congregation where you will taste the fires of hell that even now lap at my children's feet--My children--those I have called by My Name and have chosen as the Bride for My Only Begotten Son. I love them too much to let them fall in death, so I have called you to call them forth in righteousness.

I commission you to dress the Army of the Lord, which is what those you are commissioned to call shall be called. It is to you I give all the battle armour to distribute according to the need. To you I will give understanding of the trumpet calls so you can rally my people to stand before Me. Even as the unseen microwave will penetrate the substance of an unbaked cake and stir up the molecules until they are moving with such agigtation that friction is caused that produces the heat that bakes the cake, so is the heat of the fire that My Spirit fans---until my people are molded into the image of my Son... Be not afraid of the heat...otherwise known as resistance or friction. There can't be heat without resistance and friction. They are each a part of the process of transformation.

#2 The second thing I ask my prophets and prophetic ministers to do is to continue calling forth the bones--the prophetic bones. Even now there is a rattling as bone comes together with bone, with all sorts of resistance and friction being a part of the alignment process. The binding together of these my own Voices includes sinews and tendons being wrapped around and connected to these bones. Many of you are fighting, fighting being molded together into an organ that my church badly needs in place and operating in these last days.

Many of my prophets grumble and complain because the Five fold ministries aren't operating fully within my church. Yet even now you--My own mouthpieces through which I even I your God, have called forth the fullness of ministry in My Body -- you My own mouthpiece resist! You want to be alone, isolated as you've been.

Please don't ask me why I made you the way you are. Know this, as I draw you together into harmony with My other voices, you will begin to blend together into the very mighty mouthpiece of the Lord God Almighty. None will stand when you thunder across the earth and into the heavens in the power of my own Word--through the very voice of my own Son! Together you will shake the depths of hell and loose people even from the grave.

Beware, my chosen mouthpiece... You are but one organ in the Body. It has many ways to talk and you must learn as my mouthpiece to speak My Word into every cell of the Church so that it will speak forth My Word. Loose all you know me to be--all I AM into the very fiber of My Body. You are my mouthpiece and you must speak my Word into every cell of my Body until My Voice cries out from the stone--making it alive! You are My mouthpiece--speak My words into My Church!

Many of you desire still to be seen-- to be noticed. Yes, many of you are big mouths and I have used you to proclaim this day that is before you--but now that this day is here--you too must take your place as a part of an organ in the Body to equip every cell to show forth the Glory of my Word.

As all nature speaks forth the Glory of God, so My Church will speak forth in the power of My Name to all the living and the dead.

Unless the seed dies, it will not bear fruit. Today my prophets are calling out to each other---die in Christ and be raised up a new creation never known before on this earth. Give your life to My Church, even as have the great prophets of old, and I will resurrect you within the very fiber of the Body of Christ, soon to be joined with its Head.

Even as you have called the saints to die for the Kingdom and you have sown the Word even unto your own destruction, I call you once more to be lost among my people. Lose even your identity as prophets and prophetic ministers into the prophetic community which will become my Church.

Then you will see yourself again as my Word riseth forth upon this earth to triumph forever more, as the Bride comes forth and is joined with her Bridegroom to triumph through all eternity.
