This word 3was released here in Rochester, NY to us, but it is valid for the hole Body of Christ. We have entered into the greater things that He has planned for us all. Rise up in your unique call!


Prophetic word for O’Marra’s and the Salvation of God Church 3/23/18:

God spoke thru Bonnie Jones:

“There is fruit that remains. Much seed has been sown into this land and there is good fruit about to bear witness in this area. The O’Marra’s have been faithful servants and I mark their marriage and ministry with fruit that remains.”

John 15:1-8    A Relationship of growth and pruning for his purposes

John 15:16     God chooses the man or people

“Let me remind you, they are timekeepers of the prophetic words sown in this region. They have been faithful stewards not taking credit for what I do.”

The Kings watcher and timekeeper 

1 Chronicles 12:32     Issachar

Daniel  2:20-22           God reveals his hidden plans to his servants

“Their heart is to see revival not only of souls but fruit that remains. Their heart is in the right place.”

To the SOG church –

“tell them I’ve earmarked them for success in Me for their faithfulness to help steward the anointing.”

Psalms 85:6

Joshua 1:8

Isaiah 10:27

“Ear-marked”   (Exodus and Leviticus) 

Ear marked with blood or oil. Consecration for service.

Exodus 21:6   Deu 15:17     Separation for service

“I’m sending some of them out to other places to help steward the truth in this time of harvest. Many will start church plants and some will be sowers of the seed.”

2nd part of the Word given on: March 25, 2018       Rochester, NY

THE GATES OF THE CITY ARE OPEN!

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him would have everlasting life! Life in the Spirit of God, joy unspeakable and the fullness of My glory. Amen.”

John 3:16       Jude 1:24       Psalms 16:11

“Today I begin to pour out My Spirit upon the saints in Rochester who have been dedicated and pursued Me with a whole heart. You see some have been half-hearted lovers while many have come after Me with fervor. Today I separate the wheat and chaff. The harvest fields are ready Bonnie. The reapers are about to enter into the harvest field with open arms and come back with full baskets. One after another shall come to the house of God.”

Matthew 13:24-43

“You see Obed-edom’s gate has never been opened before. When the ark left with David the door was permanently closed until this day. Now I say unto thee, open the gate and enter in. Let the glory follow the people and return the glory to its rightful place. Amen.”

2 Samuel 6:1-12   1 Chr 13:1-14   1 Chr 15:12-15   

1 Chr 21:25   2 Sam 24:18-24  1 Chronicles 26:15

“Don’t be confused Bonnie, in the Spirit, Rochester hosted My glory for years, but when Finney left so did the glory, and that gate’s been closed ever since. Why? Unbelief. They trusted and believed in one man not Me, but today I’m opening that gate and allowing My glory to return to Rochester through those who have been willing to believe and pursue Me. Their hearts are one with Me and none other. Amen.”

Unbelief:  Hebrews 3:18,19

“Now you must relay this message Bonnie; no man can own My glory, it belongs to Me. All must share it’s presence because I’m pouring it out on all people. No one man can take credit. You see, I honor men like Finney and Bob Jones, yet they were only instruments in my hand. They were men who walked a crooked mile yet gave all glory to Me. Let them be remembered for who they were in Me, even as a host of men and women that poured into the return of the apostolic church. Many men and women poured their lives into prayer and intercession that receive no recognition on earth yet in heaven they are well known.”

“I want Rochester to be well known as a place people come to receive Me and the fullness thereof, but no man can put a price tag on it, and no man can own what I’m doing. Make sure they understand that Bonnie. No one, no one, owns My glory. Amen”

“The pallbearers will be busy if man touches My glory. Amen.”

3rd Final Word:  3/26/2018

“You’ve come, you’ve delivered My message to My people, a hungry group of My people I’ve refined in the fire of affliction. Today you will begin to see them soar higher than ever before and increase come to them in new and unexpected dimensions. 

“Beware the wild child,” says God – “as one comes to usurp authority. Tell them not to turn the other cheek but to confront.”

-        End of words to us all through Bonnie Jones.

Scriptures listed above from Bonnie and also from the Lord as we sought for more clarity.

“These Are The Days Of Elijah, Daniel, Samuel, and Jonah Encounter - 03-06-18”




“These Are The Days Of Elijah, Daniel, Samuel, and Jonah Encounter - 03-06-18”


Just before I fell fully asleep, a heavenly voice said to me, “these are the days of Elijah, Daniel, Samuel, and Jonah.” 
The Message:
“I am awakening My Hidden Mysteries in your generation, for this is the Season of Great Shaking, Great Awakening, Great Revelation, Great Mobilization for My Great Harvest just ahead of you all. I am preparing you to move into your rightful places that I have been readying you all for. I have not disclosed all of My Purposes yet, and many are running before they have received all of My Counsels, which will soon be apparent as I begin to unfold My Plans all around you.”
“It is time to understand the areas in which I am bringing change in your times. I will show you portions of this through the parables of My servants lives which you have all read in My Word. For those who have gone before you have laid the foundation for you to now move into their portions, and also complete their tasks left undone, and to build upon them. Your generation is the Bridge to the Fuller Mysteries of My Kingdom and to the Wisdom of the Ages. What you embrace here will allow that which is hidden to be revealed and to be fulfilled in the earth. Let us look, and see what lies ahead of you all.”
“Elijah.”
“The sign you will see shall be of the return of that which has fallen into depravity, rebellion, and disorder now come into My light and divine order. Darkness and captivity will now be brought to the reality of My Kingdom and into the Truth. Generations that have been living within the bondage of lies will now have the opportunity to ascend and to live in My light. A great war has begun, and you are only seeing the beginning of the greater shaking, and the conflict of the separation of the kingdoms of darkness and of men. There shall be no more hiding, nor the mingling of the holy with the profane anymore. Your generation shall know the reality of My Justice and of My Truth. My Holiness shall weigh heavily across the lands and multitudes shall choose who they will fully serve. My Fire shall prove the hearts of men, and many shall call upon My name again. It has begun. You must position yourself to run.”
“Daniel.”
“I have raised up those who have faithfully served Me, while living among the world and serving among men in your day, those who have not bowed their knees nor compromised their integrity to cover any lies. My stewards have carried My heart and My burdens and have sought My face for years and with many tears for this generation. I have watched the sacrifices of those who have kept their watches, and who have not wavered in their love for Me, nor My people. This is a time for demotion and also for promotion. I am changing the leadership across the earth, and I am moving leaders into new positions and into new commissions. Men are wrestling across the earth for control, but I tell you many heads will surely roll. You now live in a New Era, and it shall be both tumultuous and glorious. I am drawing near, My Glory shall increase, and those who walk with Me shall not fear. The Transformation process shall accelerate, My Rain of Fire is here, and My Harvest is not late. ”
“Samuel.”
“That which has been done in secret has only begun to be disclosed and also to be openly recompensed in your times. What I have written for your day has come to the fullness of its time. What I have prepared in secret is now wakening in your consciousness and My Wisdom shall be understood. Those who have been prepared shall awaken and shall announce and reveal the things I will reveal, and that shall bring the current harvesters to maturity. The fullness of My Desire can then be unsheathed to wield My Sickle to the ends of the earth. You each have been chosen to usher in a global birth. You are the new leaders that shall feed, and wisely instruct the laborers that are to come after you. My priests and My prophets shall no more be ridiculed nor put to shame, for the reality of My Spirit shall greatly burn, and all men shall know they are truly My Priests and My Prophets, and multitudes shall finally be willing to learn. My Government shall be put into order in your midst, and My House shall function and My Body shall flow together with Me. Look and see, its finally going to be all about Me!”
“Jonah.”
“I am calling unto cities, entire regions, and many nations to Myself in this hour. Cities shall shake because of My Messengers who shall come and cry out in her streets. Many have stoned My prophets in the past, and have ignored, ridiculed, and even destroyed those that I have sent to them, thinking they did not need My Wisdom nor My Government in their midst. I choose the messengers, and I choose the places of My Rest. I call to every heart, looking for a place to start, yet most close their ears, and will not hear. Now shall My Voices shout in this hour, as waves and waves of My Fire falls upon the lands. My Grace is being extended to those who will cry out to be mended. I shall answer them true, and My angels shall measure the lands anew, for the Season of the Winds have blown, and now the Truth shall be known. Grace shall flow to those who will bow low, and I shall bless the harvests of those who will be willing to go. I will extend the time for the sowing to be complete, and many new messengers shall converge and strategize on behalf of the new empty Governmental seats.”
“One more thing:”
“Listen to My Sages, and study their pages, for in them you shall find the Wisdom for your times. They prepared the way for you to stand firm today, and within their pages I have hidden keys for you to discover and to release into the earth. The quality of your search will reveal the beauty of your birth. Learn from Me, and treasure My Mysteries, for you will each become radiant as you apply the lesson of their histories. What was sown, watered, and has even died on your behalf, will now begin to come forth again, and what you learn will bless your generational roots and bear the greatest of fruit. Your generation is the stump of what was, but which shall sprout again, to bring forth a radiant mature bride for Him! Learn well, for its yours to tell!”
Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor, 8 Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence), 9 Making known to us the mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [And it is this:] In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had previously purposed and set forth in Him, 10 [He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth.11 In Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will, 12 So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory!

“The 13 Starred US Flag, the New Year 2018, and the new Governing Responsibilities of Heaven”



“The 13 Starred US Flag, the New Year 2018, and the new Governing Responsibilities of Heaven”

The link to the Facebook Live video of this message given on 12-31-17:




The significance of the gift of the 13 starred Betsy Ross U.S. Flag from “Valley Forge” given on Christmas Day.
In the vision, I saw the upper torso of a person sitting in a chair, sewing on the US flag. They were sewing the stars onto the flag. As the stars were sown onto the flag, the stars then lifted up with wings and flew up into the air. I realized that they were the 13 angels that were assigned to the 13 states represented on the flag being shown to me in the vision. I knew that God was highlighting the East Coast of the US as representing the original 13-colony area as the spiritual foundation of the government of the US, and He wanted to reveal His desire for us as a nation. I also realized that the Heavenly Scrolls originally determined for cities, regions, states, and nations will now begin to unroll so they can be properly be governed and stewarded in the earth.
The prophetic experience of the Governing Seats on December 28th, 2017:
I was standing within the Lord on a brilliant spiritual plane. I knew it was a new level that we had all achieved this past year. When I say that I was standing within the Lord, I was really inside of Him, and I also moved as He moved. It was as if I was suspended within the atmosphere within Him, our spirits flowing together as one spirit. We both were standing there on that new spiritual plane together. I could feel His satisfaction all through me and I could also feel pleasure at us being here. I could also feel a deep responsibility too and this sobered me. He then began to speak to me about our ruling and reigning with Him this year in higher Governmental Capacities:
“You stand here at the beginning of the new that I have for all of you, Sue. My People must learn to rule and reign with Me, and this is learned best through adversity. This is not only reckoned as a new year unto you, but I want you to understand that you have also grown up into a new position of authority that I have brought my people into. Each level that you all grow up into, you also have to learn to function within it and upon it. You all have matured sufficiently because of this past years trials and the purification process you each went through, now you stand ready to move into My greater purposes and timing for you.”  
“I have brought you through a cycle of one year of testing and of severe trials to prove you all, and to determine who would move into this New Year with me.  You have come through the fires, the deeper lonely waters, and through the iron forge with Me. I forced you all to root yourselves deeply into Me and to utterly depend upon Me throughout your preparation period of 2017. You must realize that I cannot trust My higher purposes and authority to those who are not serious in their walks with Me. Only at the end of this period now will you see why you had to fully move into deeper union with Me, in order to see where I am now going to bring you all into. Each of you will now move forward in an accelerated process into your new governmental roles.”
“I do not choose my leaders as the world does. I am not merely concerned about gifting, anointing, mantles, and talents. I not only look upon the heart and minds of those I am inspecting and choosing, but I also look at your responses to me throughout your testing and trials. There will be no pride found in my people who have learned to inwardly abide. I will humble those who will stand faithfully in bearing the work of My Kingdom with Me. What I want you each to understand is the accelerated shift that you will now all move through, as I reposition everyone of you. It is not to be taken as one’s position being greater than another’s, but you need to see it as varied assignments given as they are needed, to each one I choose to use.”
The Governing Seats
“Now come, lets get started”, the Lord spoke. He then walked over to an area where there were multitudes of waiting seats. I saw that each seat was different, but I instantly knew that each was made for the recipient who would sit there. They looked like Fiery Ottomans full of eyes, which turned continually within them. The Lord then pointed to them, and said, “These are Governing Seats. Through your trials that I allowed each of you to be refined within in 2017, I also put within you the capacity to now begin to move into governmental things with Me.”
“This is a time where My Government will not just learn to function, but will now begin to function in the earth in greater capacities in 2018. This does not mean that one is better than the other in ranking with Me, but it means that each of you will now be given different assignments from Me and with Me, and you will begin to flow in governmentally in the earth in 2018. Sometimes you will work alone on assignments, and at other times you will need to work together in teams in your seats to accomplish bigger assignments that I will give to some of you together. So this year of 2018, will be a year of Governmental Emergence and Convergence, not only between heaven and earth, but between you and each other to accomplish the things that I will reveal to you.”
“There are things that I have trained you in already, and many of you were forced to learn them through your various hardships and trials that I brought you through, such as each of you learning to access some of the courts of heaven where you had to learn to get victory in the necessary areas of your lives in order to move forwards into the new that I have now prepared for you. This was necessary training so you could each learn the protocols of heaven, but also to function within the spiritual laws that govern them. I gave you trials runs in 2017, to teach you to follow My lead and to work together on assignments. All of which served to prepare for you for the trust and responsibility that will be entrusted to you in this new year.”
“So it is your turn now, to see the things that I have prepared for your generation to come to pass in its ordained timing and process. There are things that each generation must learn in order to obtain the things that I have ordained for that generation to move into. Every generation must overcome its evils and darkness in order to advance the kingdom of light into the earth. This year of 2018, is also the Year of Transference of Governmental Roles and Inheritances. You each have earned the right to not only inherit what is promised to you and to your generation, but you will also now learn to govern it judicially through the assignments I will give to you, but you will also help to steward those things faithfully into the earth beyond 2018.”
This is also a Governmental Bridge Year. What you successfully govern with Me in 2018, will also be inherited by your generation for decades to come and even beyond. Sue, You are all still at the Beginning, and it is to be to you a Holy Year. This year will come with much enemy resistance and opposition to your commissions, but you are to remember, that you sit above those things, even though he will attempt to lure you from those seats. Every leader that I have ever chosen has always had the same requirements and temptations before to them.”
“You must remain seated within Me, and only decide each case that I bring before you with the Wisdom that I give to you for it. Your decisions cannot be your own, or by what others want you to decide. You do not decide by what you see in the assignments, by what you hear others say, or even by what you currently know. You are to decide with Me. You will decide within your Union with Me, and by what we both will agree governmentally in that case. You are also My Judges, and we must judge righteously, and with the judgment of the Father.”
 “I have only just begun to show the things that I have prepared for you and also for your nation. It is the quality of the choices that you have all made that have brought you to this point. I have been dealing with your spiritual foundations in preparation for My Glory to rest in many places in your nation, not only for visitation, but for the building of My Habitations. This you already know. But there is more that I want to bring you into because of My timing for you all. I have made you ready to build now with Me. It is time to sit upon your Governing Seats, and it is time to begin to move with Me as I direct you into your various assignments this new year that will solidify the preparations that you have already laid together in 2017.”
“Listen, for I am ready to not only begin to give you new assignments, but I am also ready to now gather My Councils and Governing Boards all around the world. I have plans for people, for homes, for churches, for businesses, for cities, for regions, and for the nations that are waiting to be implemented. You all will begin to be moved around so you can work on various assignments together. I will speak to you all, and rearrange things so you can flow together more harmoniously. I tell you do not be alarmed at the changes that I will now bring. Do not pre-judge the movements of My hand nor of My choices I make for you or for others. I have made you each ready to serve with Me in your various capacities and I will give you the Grace to function and to lead as you continue to sit in your seats with Me.”
“The nations are ripe and are looking for leadership. Everything is in readiness for your generation to now receive the Wisdom and Strategies are waiting to be administrated from above. The Harvest of the Ages has been assigned to you, to My Church. The responsibility of being My Governing Instrument has been also given unto you all. Your success will be determined by your obedience to Me, but also by your faithfulness to move together as My Body in your various capacities. Come, take your seats - your new assignments, your new alignments, and the nations as your inheritance are now ready. Let us begin for we are ready to usher them in.”

Vision of Interpreting Angels Coming to Gods People and Prophecy given at SOG on 12/01/17


Vision of Interpreting Angels Coming to Gods People and Prophecy given at SOG on 12/01/17


“I see Wisdom angels coming. The Lord has wisdom for us in this hour. Just like in the Book of Daniel. There are angels of wisdom that are assigned to us in our day to give us wisdom to know what to do next, when to come, when to go, things we are to know, things that the Father is waiting to show so that we can grow, so that we can flow.”

“There are Interpreting angels, angels of wisdom, here in this hour. We have all of the wisdom that is in heaven available to us now in the earth, but we must recognize and receive the interpreting angels. We must recognize and receive Gods wisdom and messengers of council.”

“We are at the end of one year and at the dawning of the next. The Wisdom and the Council of the Lord is ready for us to step through, into the new. So that we can move forwards into the things that we are called to see, to be, and to say, and do.”

“So the Interpreting angels are being assigned to you, but do not dismiss the heavenly and the divine. Do not miss your eternal sign. Do not go to the left and the right. Do not be distracted by the voices in the day and in the night, but know that My angels are with you in your fight, and you shall overcome and you shall have your right, because I am faithful day and night! I am faithful in your sight. I am faithful to send you help so that you can stand in your right.”

“I have messengers. I have interpreting angels. Angels of wisdom and council and understanding that will come to you day by day. Do not dismiss them! Do not try to figure it out in your head! Receive Me, and be Spirit led, and know that I will give you the angelic help. They know your assignments before you do. They know the things that are coming to you. Do not say, Oh that’s just coincidence… No! Understand- My messengers are supernatural!”

“You will see signs of their coming. You will hear sounds of them drawing near. Do not be afraid, and do not shy away in fear, but embrace My wisdom this year, for My council is sure, My guidance is steady, because all these things Children, are making you ready.”

Scriptures:

Daniel 7:28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my [waking] thoughts troubled and alarmed me much and my cheerfulness of countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter [of the interpreting angel’s information] in my heart and mind.

Daniel 8:15 When I, even I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; then behold, there stood before me one [Gabriel] with the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the [river] Ulai which called and said, Gabriel, make this man [Daniel] understand the vision. 17 So he came near where I stood, and when he came, I was frightened and fell on my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the [fulfillment of the] vision belongs to [events that shall occur in] the time of the end.

Daniel 9:20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy hill of my God—21 Yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the former vision, being caused to fly swiftly, came near to me and touched me about the time of the evening sacrifice.22 He instructed me and made me understand; he talked with me and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and wisdom and understanding.23 At the beginning of your prayers, the word [giving an answer] went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision.

Daniel 10:12 Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind and heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come as a consequence of [and in response to] your words.13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief [of the celestial] princes, came to help me, for I remained there with the kings of Persia.14 Now I have come to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days, for the vision is for [many] days yet to come.

Luke 1:19 And the angel replied to him, I am Gabriel. I stand in the [very] presence of God, and I have been sent to talk to you and to bring you this good news.20 Now behold, you will be and [o]will continue to be silent and not able to speak till the day when these things take place, because you have not believed what I told you; but my words are [p]of a kind which will be fulfilled in the appointed and proper time.

Luke 1:26 Now in the sixth month [after that], the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee named Nazareth,27 To a girl never having been married and a [v]virgin engaged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.28 And he came to her and said, Hail, O favored one [[w]endued with grace]! The Lord is with you! [x]Blessed (favored of God) are you before all other women!29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled and disturbed and confused at what he said and kept revolving in her mind what such a greeting might mean.30 And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace ([y]free, spontaneous, absolute favor and loving-kindness) with God.31 And listen! You will become pregnant and will give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus.32 He will be great (eminent) and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His forefather David,33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob throughout the ages; and of His reign there will be no end.34 And Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no [intimacy with any man as a] husband?35 Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a shining cloud]; and so the holy (pure, sinless) Thing (Offspring) which shall be born of you will be called the Son of God.36 And listen! Your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is now the sixth month with her who was called barren.37 For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.38 Then Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaiden of the Lord; let it be done to me according to what you have said. And the angel left her.

1 Corinthians 2:6 Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.7 But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden [from the human understanding] and now revealed to us by God—[that wisdom] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His presence].8 None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.9 But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [[e]who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed].10 Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the [f]divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny].11 For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man’s thoughts except the man’s own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.12 Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God.13 And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit].
