Prophecies Spoken to the Church
Lloyd Gardner
The following messages were delivered to the church we were connected to during a period between March 2, 2003 and June 18, 2006. Many were spoken verbally to the church but most were written down and remain unspoken. The spoken messages were written down after they were given so these summaries may not be verbatim but all contain the basic theme of each message. Though they were delivered to a specific church it is clear that they have important meaning for the church as a whole.
3/2, 2003
Unspoken: There is a season for every purpose under heaven. A time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to rejoice. A time to live and a time to die. These are days of mourning says the Lord. Mourn for the condition of My church. Mourn for the lack of prayer and humility in My people. Mourn that My people turn to the hand of the flesh and scorn the urging of the Spirit who ever turns the hearts of the people back to their God.
3/16, 2003: I know the cry of your hearts. You ask, “How can the words of these songs and this worship become real in my life?” Hear the parable of the bricks. You are like a pile of bricks, haphazardly piled upon one another without order or alignment. It is my desire to take each brick in My hands and hold it until it becomes soft, pliable clay once again. Then I will shape and perfect it and place it in its place on the foundation next to other bricks prepared and restored in the same manner. Humble yourselves under My hand. Let me shape you according to My will and purpose. Let Me restore you and place you in your position of destiny.
12/14, 2003
Mount up! Strike your wings against the wind and mount up with wings of eagles. Soar with your God above the concerns of earth. Let the wind of the Spirit carry you into the fullness of My purpose for you and for the church. Mount up and soar with your God!
Unknown Date
Stir up the gift I have placed within you. Seek to know the place to which I have called you. Stir it up says the Lord, Stir it up! Let the Spirit bring you to the fullness of God and release you into the greatness of your destiny in My will.
Unknown date
Love must be balanced with truth. Truth can become a rod with which you beat one another without the influence of love. But love, on the other hand, can become a quagmire of empty, directionless emotion, without the balance of truth. Walk in truth. Walk in love. Let both steady your course and calm your journey.
1/11/04
To see My face is to repent. To see Me is to see your darkness in contrast to My light. To see me is to see your wrongness in contrast to My righteousness. To see Me is to see your sin in contrast to my holiness. To see Me is to repent—to turn from your direction and come toward Me and My purpose and will.
Unspoken: Wait, wait, wait. Hear, hear, hear. See, see, see. Then you will know. Then you will be able to do that to which I have called you.
1/18/04
I promise says the Lord, that if you will allow My Holy Spirit to have His way among you, that I will bring you to a new place of life. A river will flow that all of you may participate in. A wind will blow that will sweep you all away into the place of My will. The wind will blow, the river will flow, if you allow My Spirit freedom in your midst.
1/25/04
I have begun a work and I will complete it by the power of My Spirit.
2/8/04
I hear you. I hear the songs of your heart. But, I do not merely hear the words of your lips. I also hear the cry of your hearts. Will you let me touch your hearts? Will you let me snip the wild shoots of the vine that sap the strength of the vine, those growths of the flesh that hinder my hand?
2/21/04
Indeed, I am holy. There is none like me in all the universe. I am the divine Other, I am special and unique in the universe. I am holy. You also are holy, for I have touched you with My holiness. Seek not to add to Me. Seek not to bring the spoils of this age to Me for it is decaying with the decay of this age. Bring to Me your hearts and present them on the altar. Let Me cleanse and purify you in preparation for the unfolding of My purpose.
4/18/04
You have come to a diverging in the pathway you have been traveling. One pathway is the way of the flesh and the other is the way of the Spirit. The pathway of the flesh will be easy to travel and requires little cost. The pathway of the Spirit is narrow and difficult to travel and will cost you everything. Choose wisely how you will proceed for the fulfillment of My vision for you depends on the choice you make.
5/30/04
No man can see my face and live. The old man of the flesh cannot see My face for it is of the earth—corrupt and unclean. I t must die and the new man of the Spirit rise up and behold My face. To see Me you must die to all that you are that all that I am may be expressed in you. “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.” Without the humbling you will not see My face. Without prayer that flows from that humility, you cannot see My face. And if you say you have seen My face and remain the same as before, you are seeking but never finding.
6/27/04
I am holy! Only the holy can see me. You are holy in Me. Come to Me with your shoes removed. This means you are to allow me to remove everything that is soiled by the flesh and sin of the world. As you come in this way, you will see Me and My presence will change you. The change that results will produce the church of love, unity and power you all seek. Be Holy as I am holy but know that such holiness requires the removal of our selfish, hindering flesh.
8/15/04
Lift up your eyes to the mountains from which comes your help.
8/22/04
You may come boldly to My throne of grace for My son has secured your place before Me. But, come with your hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and bodies washed with pure water.
8/29/04
Unspoken: I am the Good Shepherd and I love the sheep of My folds. I am blessed when My people rise up and call Me blessed; when the worship and praise comes to Me from the heart. But I am the Good Shepherd and My sheep know My voice. I am going forth from this fold. Will you hear My voice and follow? I am building a fold so that I may instruct and teach My people in the place of My choosing. But My people tend to grow satisfied with the fold they are in so that when I go forth they are happy to stay in the old fold that I gave them. I am the Good Shepherd and I am going forth to a new place of My choosing. Come forth to Me. Come forth at the beckoning of my voice and go with Me to the new fold I have made for you.
9/5/04
Be still and know that I am God. I am holy, sacred, unchangeable, unmovable, immeasurable, beyond comprehension and knowledge. And yet, in Christ by the Spirit I am knowable and touchable. Be still and know Me as I am—touchable and experiential. I am available in My Son by the Spirit. Be still and know that I am God.
10/03/04
Unspoken: Draw near to Me, for I am God. Seek Me and desire Me. Run after Me with all your strength. These are days of preparation before the great trial about to be unleashed on My people. Ready your selves in My presence.
10/10/04
There is a melody in the Spirit going forth to My people. It is a song of freedom, redemption, deliverance, and power. Can you hear it? Will you answer the cry deep within calling you to hear the voice of the Spirit?
10/17/04
Unspoken: I am here. That is all that matters.
10/25/04
Stand and hitch the horse to the cart. Avail yourselves of the power of My Spirit.
A thought: If we allow God to come fully into our midst, all or our comfort zones will fall away. All of our traditions, personal opinions, etc. will fade away in the light of His glory.
10/31/04
I am singing a song. I exhort My people to sing with Me the song that I am singing. Hear My voice! Listen for the words and the tune I sing. It is a new song that can only be heard in your spirit. You must come to rest in your soul before you can hear it clearly. Rest. Be at peace and find My will and purpose. Touch My heart. Hear and sing with Me.
11/7/04
A prayer: Lord, open our eyes that we may dream Your dream. Give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ that we may dream Your dream—the dream of a glorious church without spot or wrinkle, a glorious Bride for Your Son.
11/21/04
Unspoken: The cart is still before the horse. You continue to fill the cart with your plans and programs and procedures, but the horse is hitched to the back of the cart. I am the horse, your power, your strength, your enablement. It is by My hand that all is accomplished. You must empty the cart and let Me fill it and then provide the power of the Spirit for forward movement and progress.
11/28/04
A prayer: O Lord, open our eyes that we may see. Open our ears that we may hear. May the words of our songs ring true in our hearts and bring blessing to yours.
12/05/04
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Behold Him, for He showed you the way of your walk. He laid down all and became weak that life and power may flow to you. He did only what He saw the Father doing. Now you are called to do only what you see the Son doing. Follow His lead through death and resurrection into the fullness of My will.
12/26/04
The church is in the visitation stage of a pregnancy like that of Mary, the mother of Jesus. After much fear at the sight and words of the angel, Mary finally said, “Let it be done unto me according to your word.” We have not said these words yet but are still in the time of fear and concern that accompanies the visitation of God’s angel. We are on the verge of becoming pregnant with the purpose of God. Individuals are pregnant with this vision but corporately there is no conception. The visitation is taking place even now and we need to come corporately to the place where we say, “Let it be to us according to your word.” The Christ vision for Tollhouse must be conceived in us so that a birth can come. The birth of a new move of God awaits our obedience to receive what He has for us.
1/9/05: The visitation continues
1/23/05
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Wait on the Lord your God. Do not be so quick to go from place to place. Wait, where you are, that I may meet you there and express Myself in you. Set aside your fixed agenda and wait on the Lord. I will renew your strength and restore your lives.
1/30/05
Be strong! Be strong in the strength of His might, for the battle looms and no power of human flesh can win the victory. Let Me be strong in you that the victory may be strong, continuous and to My glory.
2/20/05
This is a time of humbling for you – a time of being still of waiting on your God. During this time, I will renew your strength and restore your souls. To bow your knee to Me means two things. First, in bowing you humble yourselves before Me, putting Me first and listening for My will. Secondly, in bowing to your knee you are in one place before Me, not able to run to and fro seeking your own way to do My will. They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They that wait upon the Lord shall run and not be weary. They shall mount up with wings of eagles and soar. After the humbling is the season of exaltation.
2/27/05
Will you enter in? I have led you to the edge of the land. Will you be courageous and faithful to enter the land flowing with milk and honey?
3/6/05
All that I have is available to you. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it shall be given to you. Knock and it shall be opened to you. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be satisfied. Come after Me. Seek what I have to give that I may pour into you all that I have and am.
4/3/05
A response to another prophecy delivered in the assembly: ...and that place is Zion, the place of My blessing—life forevermore. Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. In this place of unity I have placed My blessing—eternal life.
4/10/05
A thought about how I felt: The ark is approaching, being brought in by faithful priests. But the people are milling around in disrespectful fashion concerned with many things but not mindful of the ark—God’s presence. It reminds me of the way 8th graders disrespect the flag during the flag salute. They lack respect for the flag because they lack understanding of its meaning. It seems we have forgotten how to sense and know when the Lord is corporately present in the church and so we act disrespectfully.
4/17/05
Unspoken: Would you glorify Me? By this is your heavenly Father glorified, that you bear much fruit. And how is the fruit produced? It grows in your hearts. Give your hearts to Me.
5/8/05 Mother’s Day
Yes, I am holy. Take off your shoes as you approach My glory. Remove that which is stained by the world, that which is fleshly and unclean. Come open and free ready to receive of My holiness and commit to walk in it.
5/15/05
To wait on the Lord is to pause before Me until your flesh takes a back seat to My presence. Wait, wait on the Lord! Following the wait comes strength, power and soaring with God in the Spirit realm.
6/26/05
Walk in freedom. Do not suppose that I will move in a certain way, but simply bow before Me and let Me move among you as I will.
8/21/05
Press through the crowd—the crowd of religion, of those who gather around Me for their own desires. Press through and touch the hem of My garment that I may impart My power into you and set you free.
9/4/05
Thoughts on Ps. 133: There is a place in the Spirit to which we must come. Just as He chose Zion on earth, He has chosen spiritual Zion, the place of His presence, purpose, vision and life. To be in that place of blessing we must hear what the Spirit is saying to the church today. The effect of His word is often corporate but the receiving is individual. Hearing enables us to know where to go spiritually, what to gather around, what to give ourselves to. As we come to His chosen place we enable the oneness of this Psalm to begin to be realized in our midst. If we fail to hear what God is saying how will we ever come to the place of His choosing, the place of spiritual oneness.
9/24/05
Unspoken vision: I saw a car with the hood lifted up and there was no engine. People were gathered around the car with hands on it, pushing it down the road. One person, who appeared to be leading, had his head down to the ground. He was leading but he only saw the road beneath his feet. There was a menial, directionless, attitude in those pushing the car. It was moving but only with great human strength and it had no direction and no power of its own.
10/2/05
You hurry forward in your self confidence thinking you will succeed in our own power. This will not be prosperous, but will lead to disappointment. Slow down! Even stop and consider your ways that you may re-start according to My will and proceed in My strength.
10/16/05
When will My people be free? Free from sin’s power, free from religious control, free to be what I have called them to be. Freedom has been secured by the cross and enabled by My Holy Spirit. It is yours for the taking. If you are bound by any fleshly thing, it is because you have not realized what I have given you. Out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water! The well springs of life are deposited within you. As you hold back, you are bound. As you walk in this life you are truly free.
10/23/05
Wait, wait, wait on the lord! Again I say, wait on the Lord! Find my heart before you proceed. How can you say you are waiting on Me when you plan everything in advance. Wait on Me! Let Me move in you and through you according to what I have planned.
11/13/05
What I will do will not be according to your riches but according to My riches which are in My glory. Your riches will glorify you and your efforts. My riches will produce My glory.
01/01/06
Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. I am a holy God and I call you to be a holy people. Be holy as I, the Lord your God, am holy. I call you to be a separated, called out people possessing a place next to My heart, for it is not by might nor by power that I will accomplish these things, but by MY Spirit says the Lord. I call you to true revival sparked by the fire of the Spirit in your hearts. Do not look for the fire to come over the mountain to engulf you. For the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord and will light the fire of God in your hearts and thus will revival fires burn. Come out from the ways of man and be holy as I am holy says the Lord.
1/28/06
Much that I have for you is not heard because the voice in My people is not liberated. I call you to kingdom behavior whereby I am allowed to be King and you are the realm in which I rule. This entails so much more than you perceive. I ask for your life – all of it. He who would come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. Your self-life must die because it opposes Me and My will. When, in this way, I am allowed to rule, I will liberate My people and they will speak forth My will and the hearts of many will be turned to Me.
2/17/06
There was no word in My heart for the church today. That is rare. It is as if the Lord has removed His hand from the church. At least He has taken me out of the picture for I sensed nothing in my spirit for the church.
6/4/06
I come among you as the Lamb who was slain. I will do a new thing among you if you will forgive and be forgiven—allowing Me to move in your midst as the Lamb who was slain. Only in this way will I do this new thing.
6/18/06
Father’s Day. Our last day at the church of Tollhouse.

To see Me is to see your sin in contrast to my holiness. To see Me is to repent—to turn from your direction and come toward Me and My purpose and will.

You have come to a diverging in the pathway you have been traveling. One pathway is the way of the flesh and the other is the way of the Spirit.

8/29/04
Unspoken: I am the Good Shepherd and I love the sheep of My folds. I am blessed when My people rise up and call Me blessed; when the worship and praise comes to Me from the heart. But I am the Good Shepherd and My sheep know My voice. I am going forth from this fold. Will you hear My voice and follow?

9/5/04
Be still and know that I am God. I am holy, sacred, unchangeable, unmovable, immeasurable, beyond comprehension and knowledge. And yet, in Christ by the Spirit I am knowable and touchable. Be still and know Me as I am—touchable and experiential. I am available in My Son by the Spirit. Be still and know that I am God.
10/03/04
Unspoken: Draw near to Me, for I am God. Seek Me and desire Me. Run after Me with all your strength. These are days of preparation before the great trial about to be unleashed on My people. Ready your selves in My presence.

11/21/04
Unspoken: The cart is still before the horse. You continue to fill the cart with your plans and programs and procedures, but the horse is hitched to the back of the cart. I am the horse, your power, your strength, your enablement. It is by My hand that all is accomplished. You must empty the cart and let Me fill it and then provide the power of the Spirit for forward movement and progress.

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Behold Him, for He showed you the way of your walk. He laid down all and became weak that life and power may flow to you. He did only what He saw the Father doing. Now you are called to do only what you see the Son doing. Follow His lead through death and resurrection into the fullness of My will.

The church is in the visitation stage of a pregnancy like that of Mary, the mother of Jesus. After much fear at the sight and words of the angel, Mary finally said, “Let it be done unto me according to your word.” We have not said these words yet but are still in the time of fear and concern that accompanies the visitation of God’s angel. We are on the verge of becoming pregnant with the purpose of God. Individuals are pregnant with this vision but corporately there is no conception. The visitation is taking place even now and we need to come corporately to the place where we say, “Let it be to us according to your word.” The Christ vision for Tollhouse must be conceived in us so that a birth can come. The birth of a new move of God awaits our obedience to receive what He has for us.
1/9/05: The visitation continues
1/23/05
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Wait on the Lord your God. Do not be so quick to go from place to place. Wait, where you are, that I may meet you there and express Myself in you. Set aside your fixed agenda and wait on the Lord. I will renew your strength and restore your lives.

Be strong! Be strong in the strength of His might, for the battle looms and no power of human flesh can win the victory. Let Me be strong in you that the victory may be strong, continuous and to My glory.

Walk in freedom. Do not suppose that I will move in a certain way, but simply bow before Me and let Me move among you as I will.

Press through the crowd—the crowd of religion, of those who gather around Me for their own desires. Press through and touch the hem of My garment that I may impart My power into you and set you free.

Thoughts on Ps. 133: There is a place in the Spirit to which we must come. Just as He chose Zion on earth, He has chosen spiritual Zion, the place of His presence, purpose, vision and life. To be in that place of blessing we must hear what the Spirit is saying to the church today. The effect of His word is often corporate but the receiving is individual. Hearing enables us to know where to go spiritually, what to gather around, what to give ourselves to. As we come to His chosen place we enable the oneness of this Psalm to begin to be realized in our midst. If we fail to hear what God is saying how will we ever come to the place of His choosing, the place of spiritual oneness.

Unspoken vision: I saw a car with the hood lifted up and there was no engine. People were gathered around the car with hands on it, pushing it down the road. One person, who appeared to be leading, had his head down to the ground. He was leading but he only saw the road beneath his feet. There was a menial, directionless, attitude in those pushing the car. It was moving but only with great human strength and it had no direction and no power of its own.

You hurry forward in your self confidence thinking you will succeed in our own power. This will not be prosperous, but will lead to disappointment. Slow down! Even stop and consider your ways that you may re-start according to My will and proceed in My strength.

When will My people be free? Free from sin’s power, free from religious control, free to be what I have called them to be. Freedom has been secured by the cross and enabled by My Holy Spirit. It is yours for the taking. If you are bound by any fleshly thing, it is because you have not realized what I have given you. Out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water! The well springs of life are deposited within you. As you hold back, you are bound. As you walk in this life you are truly free.

Wait, wait, wait on the lord! Again I say, wait on the Lord! Find my heart before you proceed. How can you say you are waiting on Me when you plan everything in advance. Wait on Me! Let Me move in you and through you according to what I have planned.

What I will do will not be according to your riches but according to My riches which are in My glory. Your riches will glorify you and your efforts. My riches will produce My glory.

Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. I am a holy God and I call you to be a holy people. Be holy as I, the Lord your God, am holy. I call you to be a separated, called out people possessing a place next to My heart, for it is not by might nor by power that I will accomplish these things, but by MY Spirit says the Lord. I call you to true revival sparked by the fire of the Spirit in your hearts. Do not look for the fire to come over the mountain to engulf you. For the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord and will light the fire of God in your hearts and thus will revival fires burn. Come out from the ways of man and be holy as I am holy says the Lord.

Much that I have for you is not heard because the voice in My people is not liberated. I call you to kingdom behavior whereby I am allowed to be King and you are the realm in which I rule. This entails so much more than you perceive. I ask for your life – all of it. He who would come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. Your self-life must die because it opposes Me and My will. When, in this way, I am allowed to rule, I will liberate My people and they will speak forth My will and the hearts of many will be turned to Me.

There was no word in My heart for the church today. That is rare. It is as if the Lord has removed His hand from the church. At least He has taken me out of the picture for I sensed nothing in my spirit for the church.

I come among you as the Lamb who was slain. I will do a new thing among you if you will forgive and be forgiven—allowing Me to move in your midst as the Lamb who was slain. Only in this way will I do this new thing.
