The
Mystery of Iniquity – The
Lord Delivered Me
PDF....Version
As read by Kenneth B Visscher
In those days
came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying,
Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken
of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Matthew 3:1-3
Now when
Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; And
leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast,
in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: That it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of
Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea,
beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw
great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is
sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew
4:12-17
For godly
sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of
the world worketh death. 2 Corinthians
7:10
But the
heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that
any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the
Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the
earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 2
Peter 3:7-13
For I know
that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is
present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not. For
the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now
if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in
me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For
I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my
members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to
the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our
Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh
the law of sin. Romans 7:18-25
But thou hast
fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity,
patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium,
at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly
in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax
worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things
which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast
learned [them]; And that from a child
thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:10-17
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me:
[I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding
the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be
fully known, and [that] all the
Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the
Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. 2 Timothy 4:16-18
(4 Visions)
“As the Overcomers turned to repentance they turned their bodies
around to face in the direction of the Lord. As they did they openly repented
before Him. They did not resist that iniquity in their lives, but repented
themselves of it and gave it unto the Lord and began to approach unto Him. As
they approached and as they repented a great wind began to blow upon them from
the Lord. The more they turned, the more they faced the Lord, the more this wind
blew. The wind was mighty, it was a great wind, very powerful and it did not
consist of the molecules of air from this world, it consisted of the substance
and the spirit of The Ancient of Days. It was from the very Throne of the Lord
that the wind came, from under the Throne, from between the feet of the Lord of
Hosts. The wind blew with a great velocity and it tore into the bodies of the
Overcomers in their repentance. As it did, large lumps of flesh and sinew and
bone and marrow began to break off in pieces from the bodies of the Overcomers
and these pieces were caught up in the wind. As they were caught up in the wind
the wind drove these pieces away. So then the Overcomer lost bits and pieces of
their bodies which were racked in the nature of sinful flesh by this prevailing
wind of the spirit of The Ancient of Days, and as they continued to approach
the Lord the more this wind blew. The closer they came to the Lord, the more
violent the wind and the more powerfully it tore away at their bodies until the
Overcomers came before the Throne free of all flesh and of all that constrained
them in the realm of their mortality. They came and stood clean and pure
because the wind had blown from them all that was contaminating to their lives.
This contamination they did repent of, but the wind which was hard to endure
proved to be their deliverance.

{Prophecy }
“ Thus says your God unto those who
possess a heart that is yearning for My full presence. It is I, be not afraid
for it is My Will now to speak unto those who would be separate unto Me. For in
the time past of your lives you have laid up My Word safely in your hearts My
People, the time has now come that I will speak to that very same word you have
guarded within your hearts to bring that same word to full fruit. Yea, I am a
jealous God and it is my purpose to bring My Church forth as a Tabernacle
filled with the Glory of God and of the Lamb. Those who long only for Me, who
find that I am their all sufficiency, their fullness of Glory, who care not at
all for honor from men or for doctrines that tickle the ears of the listeners.
I am seeking for a people who care for nothing else but to commune with Me in
the Holy of Holies. A people who desire nothing other than to be completely
consumed by My Holy Presence. Who care not to carry a label or testament as to
their faithfulness unto Me because of the trials they have thus far endured. I
am seeking for a people who will Worship Me in Spirit and in Truth and that
this same people care not for any other thing except to Bless My Name in Pure
Worship. A people whom I have formed, whom I would form together into a living
Tabernacle worthy to bear My Holy Name. Who care not to be found in any other
place than at the place of My Feet, the place wherein they would learn only of
Me. Therefore, to bring such a people unto Me I will lower the hedge of
protection that I have thus far placed around about you My Sons and My
Daughters, and will allow a much greater measure of the Mystery of Iniquity and
of the spirits of wickedness in the realms of Principality and Power to assail
your vessels of clay. That you will learn in a greater measure to separate
yourselves unto Me in earnestness and in much fear. For this is a time of great
lukewarmness in the Sons of faith. I would not have those who bear the mantle
of My Anointing to be placid in their walk with Me. You must learn once again
what it means to run with patience this race that is still before you. Yeah, I
am the Lord who seeks such as are worthy to endure the hardness of rejection
and refusal from men in a much greater measure than they have to this time. I
seek for those who with Jesus as the pattern Son will seek no reputation. Who
will seek no life of their own, nor store up for the protection that the world would
afford. These are men who are willing to abandon all other things to Worship Me
Alone. These are they who shall form My Body in the earth, who shall bear My
Name and who in the end shall not be ashamed before Me when I come again. Yea,
I am lowering the hedge of protection around My precious Saints, and a great
tumult will begin even now to arise against your very footsteps that you would
now take in Me. You shall find yourselves seeking hard after Me if you do
indeed have a heart that longs for only your Lord. If your heart is otherwise
minded then the fires of tribulation shall be stoked 7 times hotter to bring
you to a place wherein you will “choose” to seek Me and live. I am going now to
judge the earth, and My judgments will first begin with those who love to seek
Me and to love Me and those who bear My Holy Name. Yeah, I am The Lord.

( 2nd Vision )
“Laid out upon the cross was the corporate
Overcomer, a representation of that group, that company that in this time are
set aside unto the coming of the Lord and for His purpose in preparing a
company of people for ruling and reigning with Him. This one was as ONE MAN,
laid on the ground, on the cross as it lay flat. The hands and feet were being
nailed to the beams of this cross. Around this ONE SINGLE MAN were the voices
of those who were familiar to them, friends and those in company with them who
had not been made part of this ONE MAN which I saw laid out upon the wood of
the cross. These others who stood by were mocking this ONE MAN and saying unto
him things that were just as hurtful as the nails. “You cannot overcome.” “ You
cannot be part of what the Lord is doing in this hour.” “You cannot be used of
the Lord for any greater purpose or for any work in the things of the Lord in
this last day.” “You are being crucified because you are not of any value to
us.” These who mocked also knew the greater things of the Lord in doctrine and
in past motions of the Spirit of the Lord, but they were not part of this ONE
MAN who laid upon the cross in impaling.

( 3rd Vision )
“Then was my right arm supported and I was
carried to a place barren and waste, a land that was the earth as though it had
no water. The Angel which was with me set me upon the barren landscape, brown
with no life. I could see the circumference of the earth set in its courses and
in the purpose of the living Lord who did show me these things. In front of me
was one very small, very gnarled fig tree, no leaves on its branches, no
seeming life within it. A storm assailed the tree. The storm was dark and black
and very tempestuous with much wind and black clouds but no rain. The storm
assailed on the little gnarled fig tree bending it and whipping its branches in
every direction causing it to bend to near breaking. However I was curious as
to the strength of this tree for it endured such a horrible storm upon it. As I
looked closely at the branches, little buds with veins of green began to form
in the parts of the branches. These buds grew and swelled and became rich in
green color the more the storm assailed the tree in this barren landscape, the
more the buds swelled and grew greener and more alive bursting open in blossoms
and life in the midst of the storm.”
( End Vision )
“I beheld as it were the first vision,
however instead of a fig tree I saw a cross with the Overcomers as ONE COMPANY
upon it. The cross was assailed from all sides with a horrendous dark storm and
tempest worse than any storm I have seen upon the earth. The crucified one was impaled
solidly upon the wood of the cross and the storm could not wrench the body from
the impaled nails that held it secure. Yet within the body was the light of the
Ages, the light of life itself. Although the body perished, it became an avenue
of life for this life of the Ages to begin to flow unabated out and to flow as
a river of living waters, immeasurable and unbounded onto this parched
landscape to water it and to nourish it and to restore it completely into the
full expanse of the same life that the crucified one carried within.”

)
The Lord never establishes and new thing until the old thing is
completely done. Once the things which were previously ordained have run their
course, then the new thing begins. However the old things finger joint
perfectly with the new things to establish an overall picture of not only the
will of the Lord but His great plan. As it is we are being taken back yet once
more into a clear definition of the term “repentance”. Not just repentance from
dead works of religious effort, but repentance that is necessary and is part of
the Lord’s purpose for those who would overcome. My thoughts were about the new
things, but the spirit of the Lord in answer concerning my inquiry about His coming
and His promise was to bring me back to clarify and to lend definition to “repentance”.
The Lord wants all of us to understand what repentance is, what He expects of
us from it and how we are to walk repentant before Him. For I daresay that the
command we have from 1 Peter 1:16 is to be holy as He is holy. The only avenue
available to us for this holiness comes by the cleansing of the blood of
Christ, and our repentance, so that this holiness can be realized. This writing
is just as important to know as any other about the coming of Christ or the
reception of the glorified body, repentance must be first.
So the definition of repentance has to be understood in our minds by
the Holy Spirit making it real unto us. Not a repentance that we have seen in
the past where no change takes place in the nature of a man, but a true genuine
repentance whereby the power of the resurrection of Christ takes reality in our
faith and we see the areas of prideful flesh removed from us in the process. Repentance
is not an act of aggressive will and determination to not commit a sin. Repentance simply defined means to “turn”
to the Lord and to “agree” with Him. We agree with Him that our fallen
Adamic nature cannot be fixed; it must be removed by the power of the Lord’s
judgments in our members. We agree with Him that the creation in our hearts,
that part of us that is born again, cannot be defiled. However the Lord desires
the whole of the man, not just part or half of the man, but the entire man to
be holy in His sight, therefore He created the vehicle of repentance for that
purpose to be fulfilled.
One cannot cause their nature of flesh to cease existence by sheer act
of repentant will. The flesh nature in men is an entity which wars against the
pure desire to be holy before the Lord in all things, as one would desire to be
holy, the flesh nature resists this and wars against it. That means that
repentance must be something else because the Lord in leading us to His coming
and into His promise to make us one with Himself in pure holiness also requires
TRUE repentance, even in this late hour. Jesus said to “repent” because “The
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” In other words, repentance and the revelation of
His Kingdom goes hand in hand, they work together and whether you receive this
or not, they also are timed together in the economy of God. The Lord’s promise
of His coming is true, and He shall bring His Kingdom here to this world to
consume it entirely and to draw this entire world up into His everlasting
dominion. The one particle that works with this promised bringing of the
Kingdom of God is repentance.
Therefore a true definition of repentance must be forthcoming. To give
this definition, one must understand that the act of volition will never make
one holy or pure or without the contaminates of the carnal nature. One cannot ‘will’
and end to the fleshly lusts and carnal desires. Repentance that is acceptable
to the Lord for Him to bring His Kingdom must therefore mean something else. It
does and it is acceptable and true that repentance IS NOT what we have been
taught thus far. The sight and the need for repentance has slipped from us, yet
to this basic of foundations we need to return to be sure that we have done the
Lord’s will in this matter. Hebrews 6:1-3. True
repentance is ever so simple. It is to “agree” with the Lord. Agree
that we are defiled, and agree that He can clean us up. Agree that we need to
be cleansed of all that remains of this carnal condition. I daresay that in
this hour the child of the Lord who truly longs for the Kingdom of God has come
to a great quandary. They find themselves with ever INCREASING volumes of flesh
and carnality, they find themselves with a greater urgency to be correct before
the Lord but the resistance of the carnal side of their life overpowers their
will to be correct and right in all their decisions and in the way they walk
before the Lord. That is because the Lord has stoked up the fires of
tribulation 7 times hotter, the dross is being boiled up in the life of the
child of God as never before. THIS PROVES THAT THEY ARE IN GENUINE REPENTANCE.
So then the next parameter in this miracle of repentance comes into
play. As one agrees with the Lord that they need to be cleaned up, it paves the
way for the Lord’s will to be done in them. As they are receptive to His will
being done in their lives, the Lord begins, by the power of Christ’s
resurrection TO DELIVER THEM. He HAS delivered them and He will YET deliver
them. The Lord delivers them out of the mouth of the Lion. 2 Timothy 4:17. As
one AGREES with the Lord, which is true repentance, they begin to fasten their
gaze upon Christ alone as never before and as they do, their flesh loses power.
They begin to feast on the Lord and upon His body and blood, eating and
drinking the body and blood of Christ with a ravenous passion to consume it
all, to ingest the Christ into their lives as never before. This is so
important to understand, that the consuming of the body of our Lord and
drinking His blood is a genuine act of repentance on our part, it is obedience
on our part and it gives the Lord full measured ability to motion in us as He
pleases. The Apostle Paul was delivered again and again in his life because he
agreed with the Lord concerning his true spiritual condition. This agreement
was found in Romans 7 in the contesting of flesh verses spirit and as a result
of this revelation that the Apostle was hid in Christ, the Lord began to
deliver him. And so He is going to also now deliver the Overcomers.
I say this now in prophecy. The coming of the Kingdom of God, the reception of our full promise goes hand in hand with continued repentance which is agreement with the Lord and is a turning unto Him. As we do, He removes the life and power of carnality bit by bit until we remember it no more and walk in it no more, rejoicing in our fellowship with Him. May the Lord hasten this to us at this time.
