EVERY MAN MUST KNOW ME FOR HIMSELF
Prophecy given through Barbara A. Williams April 18, 1998

"The days of the free ride are over. The days of the free ride are over." The Lord said, "This is the hour when every man must know me for himself. Every man must pay the price for the anointing. For we are moving into a time and a season where the anointing is increasing and I cannot bring people along," says the Lord, "who won't pay the price. I cannot bring people along who come just because you want them to come along." says the Spirit of God.

"I must have people that I can examine; that meet up to my standards and meet my standards," says the Lord. "For I am severing and separating from the Body those who are reluctant and rebellious and stiff-necked," says the Spirit of God.

"And I am separating out those who refuse to walk alone with me," says the Spirit of God. "Those who have to have friends to come along with them at every juncture, " says the Spirit of God. "The day of dragging Lot around behind you," says the Lord, "are over. For you must face me as your God, and you must face me as Lord alone," says the Spirit of God. "And you must face me as the One that you must turn to and the One you will turn to and the One you can turn to. You must face me as LORD." says the Spirit of God

. "And no more will I tolerate those who don't want to go ahead, and don't want to plunge ahead, and don't want to forge ahead in My Spirit, even though I have called you and separated you out to Myself and you know it," says the Spirit of God. "No longer will I tolerate all these additions and all of these 'add-to's'," says the Spirit of God. "For I must have you alone to Myself that I might work My ways into you and work My knowledge and work My Spirit into you," says the Spirit of God. "So look not to the left and to the right to see who else is going to follow besides you," says the Lord. "But follow Me!" says the Spirit of God. "Follow Me!" says the Spirit of Christ. "Follow Me!" says the Lord. "Quit looking for those that you want to bring along. Quit looking for the 'Lot's. And quit creating the 'Ishmael's in your life," says the Spirit of God. "And I will give you true fellowship, true companionship, true leadership and true understanding of my ways," says the Spirit of the Living God.
