Stand Still and Wait upon the Lord
Do you doubt Me still? When you see all that man
is capable of with technology, weaponry, sciences (medicinal, physical and
biological), and more, then why do you doubt Me for unbelievable,
impossible miracles, when it is I who has created mankind?
Many have doubted Me (in
fear) to trust in miracles because of My Son’s warning about the last days,
false Christs and false prophets who will show power, and signs and lying wonders.
[Mat 24:24; 2 Thes 2:9]
It is right to take heed to the words of My Son, for He is My Word, and My Word became flesh and dwelt among you! [1Jn 1:14] You do well to pay close attention!

Let not sin take hold of you. Pick up your cross daily, deny
yourself, and follow Jesus, My only begotten Son. Do justly, love mercy, walk
in forgiveness, love and humility. You are instructed to bring all matters to
Me in prayer, with thanksgiving. [Phil 4:6-8]
Do not allow the enemy to thwart your trust in Me, which
will ultimately affect your faith and obedience. Though he is a counterfeiter (and a duplicator), and a murderer from the beginning and the father of lies (for the truth is not in him) [Jn 8:44], remember
that he is not greater than Me. [1Jn 4:4]
One of the more dangerous weapons the adversary has, and one of the many clever strategies of Satan, is deception
[Rev 20:8], which he presents in subtle and crafty ways. Following close behind is his ability to cause
doubt so strong that it has led multitudes into unbelief and thereby
disobedience (apostasy), beginning with Adam and Eve. [Genesis 3]
His hatred for mankind (My
creation) is immeasurable. His mission is to steal, kill and destroy, especially
those who are faithful to Me through My Son, Jesus. Yea, but there are some who
call themselves by My name who will become disobedient and ultimately
reprobate.
They profess that they
know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and
unto every good work reprobate. [Titus 1:16]
He (Satan) knows that without faith it is impossible to please Me,
so it is in his best interest to deflate the faith of the Christian, even unto
annihilation, in order to derail, even destroy the destiny I have planned for
them.
But without faith it
is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. [Heb 11:6]
Again I remind you that the very first success he had was in the Garden of Eden when
he approached the woman, knowing full well that her influence over Adam was
strong.
Do not allow the enemy to sabotage that which I have promised you. Do not allow circumstances and that which you see with your natural eyes to harbour doubts so intense that the fear of it becomes unbelief.

I have counseled you in My word, and there are numerous
examples therein, of those who went before you, what they went through, the
trials they faced, various timings different individuals had to wait upon, and
the outcome for those who had faith, trusted and obeyed.
I warned of backlash and My Son warned of persecution.
Remember the word that
I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, they will also persecute you, if they have kept My saying, they
will keep yours also. [Jn 15:20]
All My people have suffered in the world, for they are not
of this world. Fear not, for I am with you and know the outcome. All things are
not good, but you know that I work all things work together for good to those
who love Me and are called, according to My purpose. [Rom 8:28]
Faith –faith. All that you see now looks
discouraging and hopeless.
Nevertheless, I have given you the keys to overcoming and the key to walk right into your destiny in My written Word. The keys? – Seek Me, draw close to Me and move in obedience and trust, which are attached to FAITH. These cannot be separated – faith, trust, obedience – a three-fold cord. Selah

But seek you first the
kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto
you.
But it is good for me
to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare
all your works. [Mat 6:33; Ps 73:38]
I am the way, the
truth and the life: no man comes to the Father but by Me (Jesus). [Jn 14:6]
Hold fast to Me. Your faith is stronger than you think or
know. It has been tried and proven. Though there are times you have failed, you
never let go, but rose up to continue forward again. You clung to Me, and I never left
or forsook You. Yea, I am here. Though you have had moments of doubt, know that
you are not alone.
Read My Word and see how many of your forerunners questioned
Me when they did not understand, yet the believing still maintained their
faith.
So then, faith comes
by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. [Rom 10:17]
They who love Me, trust Me, and those who trust Me, wait
upon Me. Now you too, must stand still (and
strong) in obedience, and wait upon Me.
Those that wait upon
the Lord shall rise up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not weary; they
shall walk and not faint. [Is 40:31]
I will bring you through this, allowing you time to consider
your love for Me, but more importantly, My love for you. Think – not in the
leaning on your own understanding (logic),
but in acknowledging Me and remembering all
that I have brought you through and the victories that you have enjoyed.
Trust me…and obey, for I shall direct your paths. [Prov 3:5, 6]
Many, O Lord my God,
are the wonders which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us: they cannot
be set in order unto You; If I would declare and speak of them, they are more
than can be numbered. [Ps 40:5]
You shall guide me
with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
[Ps 73:24]
This is a crucial hour for all who call themselves by My
name. Delay no more out of fear and yes, unbelief; nor hesitate due to looking
at worsening circumstances. Look to Me and not to the natural.
It is your
appointed time. Yes, you have heard this before and measure time in the way of
man, but I am not contained in the space/time continuum. I created it.
For the vision is yet
for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it
tarry, wait for it; because it will come; it will not tarry (delay). [Hab
2:3]
Do not allow the door to close, or for the (appointed) time to pass. I give fair
warnings, and guide you. Snap to it! Pay attention. Set your face as a flint,
for I am your helper. It is now urgent…you must consider and choose carefully
and wisely.
For the Lord God will
help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like
a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
[Is 50:7]
Be sober, be vigilant. Be wise. Lo, I am with you…but you
need to pay close attention, then, ACT accordingly with wisdom and strength.
If any lack wisdom,
let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not
(without reproach); and it shall be given
him. [Jam 1:5]
My heart and my flesh
fail: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. [Ps 73:26]
Will you trust Me even when your back is up against a wall, seemingly
with no way out and seemingly with no answers coming from Me? When all seems against you, will you wait
patiently and trust Me, or will you give up, shaking the head and believing
that all is lost? Not everything that is difficult and bewildering or hopeless
is of the adversary.
You shall remember all
the ways which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the wilderness,
to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments, or no.
[Deut 8:2]
Reflect upon those who went before you, as examples.When Moses and the Israelites were up against the Red Sea,
with nowhere to turn as Pharaoh and the
Egyptian army were after them, the people cried out in fear.
And Moses said to the
people, Fear you not; stand still and see the salvation of
the Lord (wait), which He will show to you today: for the
Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see them again no more forever.
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. [Ex 14:13, 14]
When Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, heard that a great
multitude was coming against him and the Israelites, he called a fast and
prayed to God, for he knew not what to do.
You shall not need to
fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand
you still and see
the salvation of the Lord (wait) with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not,
nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
[2Chron 20:17]
Behold, I am the Lord,
the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?
But Jesus beheld them,
and said to them, With men this is impossible but with God all things are
possible. [Jer 32:27; Mat 19:26]
All is in My capable and competent hands. And now I command
you at this time, stand still and wait upon Me.
for His glory alone
