The Threshing Floor!
As I was meditating upon The LORD, He spoke to me regarding the threshing floor.
The threshing floor: The process of threshing was performed generally by spreading the sheaves on the threshing floor and causing oxen and cattle to tread repeatedly over them, loosening the edible part of cereal grain (or other crop) from the scaly, inedible chaff that surrounds it, (Deuteronomy 25:4; Isaiah 28:28).
As I read this, I realized that God in this season is causing many of His people to be trampled down as the and trodden upon repeatedly by those who have no love and compassion for the people of God, like these cattle, in order to purify and to refine The Church in this hour!
It is through this process on the threshing floor, that both good and the bad is going to show up, to determine the edible (cereal grain) from the inedible (scaly chaff that flies away) in this season!
The LORD in this season is trying the hearts of His People to see if you are going to stand, buckle under and or compromise His Word, or will you give way under pressure like the cattle trampling on top of the stalks of sheaves!
Many, The LORD said to me, will not be able to endure the pressure, but because of the pressure of those trampling upon them, they will crack under the pressure of the threshing while on the floor, but He let me know that on the threshing floor, it is a time to stretch out and to go with the flow and allow God to take out all the impurities and things that will not bring forth cereal grain in our lives!
The enemy, like these cattle, wants the people of God to crack under pressure! He wants you to come off the threshing floor of prayer and intercession and trusting God, because He knows that when you come off this floor, all the things God wants to purify and to keep in your life, are going to bring about a great transformation in your life as you remain in the process of being trampled upon on the threshing floor!
Because, if it is love you need, than hate will have to be dealt with in this season!
If it is pride you have on the fleshing floor, than you shall be beaten until you are humble and submissive.
If it is disobedience that you have not dealt with in this season, then God shall allow you to be trampled on until you learn how to bow to authority and leadership!
On and on and on — but in the end it will be God who shall cause The Body of Christ to learn how to lay before Him in a place that will cause The Church to learn how to yield to the perfect will of God in this season, while The Church is going through a transition and God takes her into a higher dimension of His Glory.
All who refuse to allow God to thresh them on the threshing floor in this season, they shall experience both correction, rebuke and the judgment of God!
The Prophet Hosea prophesied that, because Israel had repeatedly turned from God to false idols, His judgment upon them would scatter them to the winds as the chaff from the threshing floor. Just as it shall for The Church of today!
No one, and I mean no body, will be exempt, none who are called as one of God’s sheep shall escape, for those whom God loves He chastens, and if you are not a son or daughter scripture says that you must be a bastard!
“Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears, like chaff swirling from a threshing floor, like smoke escaping through a window,” Hosea 13:3.
However; both the Old and New Testaments refer to the threshing floor as a symbol of judgment.
John the Baptist uses the imagery of the threshing floor to describe the coming of the Messiah who would when He arrives will separate the true believers from the false.
The true followers of Christ will be gathered into The Kingdom of God just as grain cereal is gathered into barns, while those who reject Christ will be burned up “with unquenchable fire,” just as the worthless chaff is burned, (Matthew 3:12; Luke 3:17).
Today I was called a doomsday prophet. I prayed and said I never saw myself as one, so I spoke to God on the threshing floor and He let me know that it takes something to be called a doomsday prophet and I should take it as a compliment, because it will be on His threshing floor that I will have to learn when to hold my peace, wait on God, confront the enemy, stand still and see God’s salvation, or run like a puppy dog whipped by a big dog, or fight until the death for territory that has been given to me as an inheritance of God!
For in this season many shall forsake the threshing floor to go after a king that cannot save, or deliver them, instead of trusting in the King of kings and The LORD of all other lords and end up like the chaff thrown into the wind driven away!
So Micah the prophet said, “Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Why all the doomsday hysterics? Because you still have a king, don’t you?”
In other words, is God still not your God, or do you know look to another? But maybe he’s not doing his job and you’re panicked like a woman in labor. Well, go ahead – twist and scream, Daughter Jerusalem. You are like a woman in childbirth.
You’ll soon be out of the city, on your way and camping in the open country. And then you’ll arrive in Babylon. What you lost in Jerusalem will be found in Babylon. GOD will give you new life again. He’ll redeem you from your enemies.
But for right now, they’re ganged up against you, many godless peoples, saying, “Kick her when she’s down! Violate her! We want to see Zion grovel in the dirt.”
These blasphemers have no idea what GOD is thinking and doing in this.
They don’t know that this is the making of GOD’s people, that they are wheat being threshed, gold being refined.
JESUS! On your feet, Daughter of Zion! Be threshed of chaff, be refined of dross. I’M REMAKING YOU INTO A PEOPLE INVINCIBLE, INTO GOD’S JUGGERNAUT (huge, powerful and overwhelming force) to crush the godless peoples.
And, You’ll bring their plunder as holy offerings to GOD, their wealth to the Master of the earth. (Micah 4:9-13 MSG)
People you may not know it the purification and refining of God’s People has taken place and you are about to shine like the gold you were made to be!

Apostle Geraldine Fisher has a World-Wide-Social Media Net-Work Ministry. As a Missionary, God moved her into the Office of a Prophet, revealing to her the qualities of a True prophet, humility, humiliation, loving others, interceding in prayer, as she keeps her own life clean to accurately hear from God. Since hearing the audible voice of God calling her to ministry, she’s been called to intercede and pray for others in ministry as God speaks, instructs, directs and gives prophetic words for her to give to others. God promised He would bring her to sit and to learn before great men, all of which He did!
Praise God. Thank you Apostle. God bless.
