Message From the Journal of Steve Hill

(Saturday, January 31, 1998)

	Over the last few days, there has been a restlessness in My
Spirit.  I mentioned to Pastor that I feel very unsettled.  I feel like
the ground underneath me is shifting.  I feel as if something is about
to change.  Now, the Lord knows I love change.  I thrive on the unknown.
I enjoy the uncertainties of life.  I am extremely uncomfortable, when
everything is cookie-cutter predictable.  When the earth begins to
shift, when I hear roots being pulled up out of the ground, when I feel
the wind on my face blowing in a new direction: I like that.

        Over the last several days, something has been stirring.  I can't
stop moving around.  There is something on the horizon-something big.  I
can't touch it yet.  I can’t gaze upon it with my eyes.  But I can feel
it.  It's there, and it's moving closer.  My spirit man is speaking loud
and clear.  He has overridden my carnal nature, and is raising his
voice.  The first time I heard my spirit man was twenty-two years ago. 
He told me when I got saved, that I was a child of God.  My spirit bore
witness with God's Spirit-that I was God’s child.  Now the Spirit of the
Lord is telling this child of God that something's up.

        The Lord would say to everyone in this place, "Live unsettled!"
I'll say it again, "Live unsettled.  Don't sink too deep into the soil of
this earth.  Keep your head up, and your feet moving.  Stay alert.  Be
sober."

	This morning, early, the Lord spoke clearly, these two words:
"I'm coming.  The day of My returning is at hand.  Loose yourself. Loose
yourself of any ties that bind.  If you don't loose yourself, I'll help
loose you.  Prepare the way in your own heart, and then help prepare
the way in others. 

	I want no obstacles.  I will have no obstructions. I will return
for a `pilgrim people.'

        "Let the church know that the day is approaching.  Warn
them.  Don't `wine and dine' them.  Tell them clearly.  Don't mix words. 
My word - My water, is pure.  Don’t taint it.  Make it clean.  Let My people
know, it's about to happen. What is about to occur will change world
history.

        "Nothing will remain the same.  Let the unbelievers, let
the skeptics, let the religious ones know, that what they fear the most
is about to happen.  Every fear known to man will be swallowed by the terror
of the day ahead. Fear will overcome fear. Dread will overcome dread.

        "The violent will be overcome by the violent.  My final
work is at hand.  My Spirit's wooing is about to cease.  No one will
grieve Me anymore.  No one will quench My spirit anymore.  No one will
resist me anymore.  Their days are over.

	Let them know, My warm season of grace and mercy, will soon turn
to a chilling winter of judgment and wrath.  The warm days of My wooing
will be exchanged for the fiery days of My vengeance.

        "My pleading for the souls of man, the passionate cry of
the faithful harvesters, the unselfish service of My holy servants, all
their labor, all the charity, all the pain, all the suffering, it will
be over.  I have heard, says the Lord, the groans of nature.  I have heard 
the midnight cries.

        "My church has been begging My return.  My Bride has been
longing to be with me.  The plan of the ages, has almost reached
fruition.  The tree has born forth its fruit. The fertile soil has
yielded the harvest.  The planting will stop.  The laborers will leave.
The sickle will rust.  It’s almost over.  I'm coming back.  I
will not delay My coming to you, so don't delay your coming to
Me."
