Prophesy delivered to Rock of Refuge Church

Pastor Jim Maddox 8/22/2002

..... The work that I do is foundational. The work that I'm doing this week is a new beginning. From this week forth in this ministry God is giving you a new name in the Spirit.   

Thus sayeth the Lord of Host, Everything that you've gone through has knocked the flesh out of you, has removed from you the spirits of religion and carnality - what is left is dependence upon me. I shall take that dependence, says the Lord, and do a new work in this place.

You may keep your name as Rock of Refuge - but I have given you a new name in the Spirit and in the weeks and months to come I will reveal this unto your Pastor. But I have placed a new anointing upon you. Do not expect anything that you have seen in the past - for what I shall build this church on from this night forth is a sincere hunger for a revelation of MY Spirit, the inspiration of My Word, and the power of My Presence. I will not build upon anything else. No other foundation will succeed.

Religious people will not come to you because of the difficulty that you have endured. All that will come to you - will come to you out of a hunger for MY Presence. All that you have to offer your city is My Presence. Your appearance is marred - it is messed up and your visage is disturbed. You are like my Son on the cross. You are nothing to look at, despised and ashamed.

NOW I will get the glory out of this place.

NOW My Name shall be the only name that is in this house.

And out of your broken heart and contrite spirit, I will pour fresh oil into this ministry. I will raise you up to a level that will supersede what you were prior.
