More about The Olive Press 

America 

08/21/2021

I saw  what I thought to be an olive, being pressed and squeezed in between two hands…gently at first, then more and more intensely until I saw oil begin to come from the olive. I knew this was the Church.

Still more and more the olive was squeezed, almost to breaking point… And people began to scream - to shout - to cry out to the Lord…but these cries were different - cries like I had never heard before…these were cries that were coming up from a place of pressure.

Exodus 3:7-8

It was from this place of weakness and brokenness that I saw the anointing oil was now flowing freely and unhindered from the Body of Christ…and it was also from this Place that the Bride of Christ began to emerge. The Place where we were, had now become a place of purity and holiness…an aroma of Life in the midst of the stench of death. 

And The Lord gave me this scripture - 

“We are hard pressed on every side,but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-12

It is better that America goes through the olive press now (2Cor.4:8-9), rather then the wine press later (Revelation 14:19). Better to be pressed like an olive, than crushed like a grape (Matt 21:44). Can we not see the Lord’s mercy in this?

What will this look like?

02/20/2022. I only saw a fraction…and only caught a glimpse: It was just after Church on the Lord’s Day: I was looking at the massively long lines of cars, waiting to get in at one of the massive number of restaurants in Bowling Green. Suddenly- and for just a second - I saw something very different. The lines of cars disappeared and were replaced by lines of people; these were no longer waiting to get a table in their favorite restaurant…they were waiting to get basic foodstuffs to live!  

I thought about John ch.6.(Feeding 5000): The great and unorthodox Feast of Tabernacles taking place on the hillside…the people that Emmanuel fed - that He “tabernacled with”…and yet they failed to make the connection with Deuteronomy 8:1-4

They did not recognize the Manna from Heaven  because their  bellies were full of the substance of the earth. 

It is the same with the western nations. We will not truly recognize or know the fullness of the Lord, until the earthly things that, (even we Christians), clamor for, are for a season, brought down

“I will for a season, bring down the “American way”, so that the people can recognize MY WAY.”

Is there another way for this nation? I honestly don’t believe so. Every high and lofty thing must come down. The original Foundation Stone of the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10) must be brought up from the ground if people are to experience the true unveiling of the Lord Jesus Christ.
