Why have ye built altars unto the Lord when He has not told you to do so? Then out of pride and vainglory You then  bring your corrupt praises and supposed godly deeds and place them before Me on these fleshly, man-made altars of self promotion that you built of your own accord. These altars are part of the fleshly and man-made construct men in this hour call spiritual or prophetic ministry. these carnal and corrupt Men have in great pretense, and deceit sought to try to build The Kingdom of God using the principles of earthly and worldly commerce instead of relying on the Holy Spirit alone. These then with great relish boast in their hearts of the great works and accomplishments they have done in the name of the Lord. and then seek to justify their evil and corrupt deeds by saying; See all those who are blessed by my ministry and Thus convince themselves to think this is all pleasing to the Lord. But the Lord says that the altars that have been constructed were not My doing and I am not pleased with these corrupt and perverse man-made fleshly efforts.  
 
Know that many ministries today are like Saul. Know that these constructs have not come about because of perverse prophets and teachers alone, but that these false altars and false ministries are the result of My people crying out for a king to rule them. “Give us a pastor and a prophet to speak to us so we will know the truth and not be deceived,” they say.  How is it that they that are baptized with the Holy Spirit do not know the Holy Spirit? How is it that they do not know the voice of the Holy Spirit nor that He is to lead and guide them and keep them? How also is it that these people do not hear My voice or recognize their Shepherd, but rather flee unto corrupt and deceitful wolves?  

John 5:41-44 I receive not honour (Praise, worship, or offerings) from (Corrupt and perverse) men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? (Many things that are done out of supposed faith and belief are empty and void before Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost and therefore such prayers, such fasting, such faith and such belief returns again unto these empty and void for they have not the non self-seeking Agape of God.)

Like Saul, these carnal and earthly ministries keep to themselves a great portion of spoils, from the illegal tithes, and illegal offerings they receive in my name claiming to use it only to build My Kingdom whereas they are devouring wolves that fall upon their prey and the spoil their of to greatly enrich themselves and to as it were live as kings upon the backs of My flock.  See and judge, have these not patterned themselves after the Lord’s of commerce and captains of industry of this world. See and judge, have these have made a business out of My ministry and a merchandise of you. These false preachers and teachers have committed grievous sin and greatly err having put a price on My truth. And you have also greatly sinned and erred by placing your faith and trust in these in effect becoming their disciples by the testimony of your willfully feeding them with tithes and offerings that they can compound sin upon sin As they have offered up these defiled offerings and sacrifices in My name and by the sustenance thereof they continue In the public arena to move in a perverted mixture of flesh and spiritual gifts and operations teaching, prophesying, and deceiving many as angels of light.  These are truly the blind leading the blind as have deceived themselves thinking I have given them an authority that I have not. They think that since I move in their midst that My blessings are on them, but it is as it were a few crumbs falling from the table for the sake of the weak and downtrodden in My flock.  
 
Therefore I would exhort to these ravening wolves is sheep’s garments, Relinquish surrender My people unto Me! Surrender the people who you were commanded to serve who you have instead brought into bondage under your authority. Let My people go! Release them and allow My Holy Spirit to come upon them as I will each one individually that they will hear My voice, that they will receive individually and personally My guidance and direction. You have said that you would be their shepherd and protect them from the enemy (And feed them and instruct them and teach them all truth, Ye blind guides who dwell in darkness how can you protect them? How can you feed them? How can you instruct and teach all truth when you know not the truth and the path you tread leads to death?  

Know and understand that every child must of a truth learn certain things on its own. They must by needs be scrape their knees, and when they trip and fall I will come to raise them up to stand once again upon their feet. Do you not see that the scraping, and the falling and the bruising builds character and strength? And by taking this away amongst many other things the children become pampered and spoiled and never rise up to accomplish anything, but remain as it were spiritual babes in adult bodies as is seen in church to church, ministry to ministry, and denomination to denomination in this day and hour.
 
You have brought up a generation of children whom ye have maimed and torn, blinded and made deaf who you have made by design unable to function on their own. They wet themselves, they skin their knee, they stumble in darkness and they cry out and run to the Eli the prophet for the word of the Lord. And they cry out in weakness and despair and run to Saul to lead them to victory the control you have exerted over My people is not of Me know ye not what spirit you serve? Ye in so doing serve only the wicked one as ye walk in the spirit of darkness and of antichrist. You by your traditions and doctrines of men have established chains of command, dividing my sheep into ranks and orders thinking all the time you were doing a good thing By bringing order to a flock in which every pastor and  ministry does that which is right in their eyes and leads the flock under them their own way. Surely this is a sign to this generation that the flock of God is shepherd-less, that the flock of God and its blind teachers have lost theirs way and KNOW NOT MY VOICE. I did not speak to you to do these things! Neither have I commanded any other to lord it over My flock and make disciples after their own image and likeness. Therefore I sternly warn you shepherds repent, remove thy shepherds cloak of sheepskin and put aside thy rods and thy staffs and stand aside that I may guide my flock in and out and here a little and there a little that line upon line they would learn of Me and hear My voice once more.

As ye have said that if these ever leave your flock they way you will miss the moving of My Spirit. So shall I depart from thee and what little spirit and what little anointing ye have felt in times past ye shall seek me and find me no more. Ye shall pray and lay on hands and it shall be as empty words on empty heads. Know that God is not mocked, as ye have made a mockery of Me, and of My Spirit becoming before men. Ye have become blasphemers, as ye have taken that which if of Me and of My Spirit and ascribed those things unto yourselves.

I am the Lord and I distribute My gifts and ministries unto those who love me and diligently seek me. I pour out My Spirit on those who ask and seek and knock of Me.  I outpour My Spirit individually not the corporately.  I will therefore bypass you and the systems you have established in My name, and shall tend unto My flock myself even as it is recorded so in scripture. Know ye that the day and the ministration of Saul is over.

I indeed shall speak to the individual who asks of Me. I indeed shall show them mysteries and great revelations that many who claim to know Me have not seen or understood. I indeed shall show the folly of all your efforts in My name, for your kingdom is not My Kingdom!  My Spirit and My Spirit alone will make the way for My Kingdom. My young men and women of spirit shall arise and shine forth and see victory of battle. Their power and authority without your covering, without your approval and with out your teaching and prophetic declarations will bring to shame many who have positioned themselves as great warriors and leaders over My flock.

Do not be deceived by the anointing of My gifts that have come upon you from time to time. Do not be deceived through the prophetic words you have spoken in part, all of which you have greatly misused.  The purpose of My gifting and anointing has been to glorify My Name in your midst and to call you and my flock unto true repentance. I am seeking in my people a humility that you have never known. Serve your brothers as being above you, honor my flock above yourself, and watch as I build My Kingdom through them as I give them a word, as I give them a dream as I give them a vision.  Look and learn, see and understand that My calling in you was never about yourself, and your carnal thoughts and desires.
 
Know that I have had many of my servants hidden away with Me and now is come the time I shall begin to bring them forth and use them. They that have been abiding with me, they that do know my voice My Kingdom dwells within them. These are they that will not seek to establish a reputation for themselves, but their only desire will be to glorify Me. They will not put a price on My truth but will give what I have given them without measure. They will not appoint themselves authority over My people but will point the people to Me.  
 
My truth I will strip away the traditions, it shall strip away the legalism, the false teaching and the false kingdom-building that has destroyed so many in the past. As My truth abounds you will see a great wonder, for I will cause My truth to spread from person to person, both here and in other places around the world. Many of the giants in the land that you have sought to defeat will lose their footing as I continue to move. They will be defeated from within and not through political power.  

This is truly a day of new things and of new ministry.
