Why do some people fear or judge discipline as a bad thing? Are not children who are loved
disciplined? Are not good soldiers
disciplined so that they may become mighty warriors? To be disciplined is to be
taught and instructed, and quite often, to keep you from danger.
I see the heart that cries out with true repentance; the
heart that is perfect towards Me. Yes,
man looks upon the outward appearance, but I look upon the heart. I know the intents and the motives. I am the
one who purges and purifies with holy fire.
It is I who has taken the heart of stone, to give you a
heart of flesh; a heart that is circumcised.
So I say to you, do not give up. Do not allow weariness and defeat to overtake you. Rise up!
Do you believe Me for the promises I have given you and have
backed up with My Word? Have I not directed your steps as promised? Have I not provided for you? It is your faith
that pleases Me.
Cast down all
imaginations and every high thing that would exalt itself against the knowledge
of God, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. [2Cor 10:5]
I have not brought you this far for you to faint now. Lo, I AM with you! Because you are My child, I discipline you
with great love. I tell you to wait upon
Me, for My timing is perfect. It is I
who instructs you and teaches you the way to go.
Arise Warrior
Arise Warrior
I say to you to rise up and set your face as a flint. Let righteous anger be against the adversary,
and do not back down! KNOW that I am
with you! Do as I direct you and you
shall see the victory. KNOW that the
adversary seeks to defeat you.
He determines to destroy your faith, steal your hope and
kill your destiny. His wrath is against
Me and against My people (My children, My creation). If you call Me Lord, do the things I say to
do, in every area of your life.
Do you not understand that faith in Me will bring you
through all things? Do you not understand that your faith must be to the point
where you would not hesitate to do anything I ask, no matter how foolish it
seems to mankind?
Remember that I use the foolish things to confound the wise
and the weak things to confound the mighty.
[1Cor 1:27] It will be your faith
in Me that keeps you from fear, for it causes you to trust and obey Me.
You know the times you are in, for I have made My people
aware. Have I not told you that I would
give you treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places; that you
may know that I AM the Lord [Elohim] that calls you by your name: I AM the God
[Yhvh] of Israel.
Time of Revealing
Time of Revealing
Mysteries and things that have been hidden are being
revealed in these last days, for if they had been revealed before they would
not only have been misunderstood (or not understood at all), but they would
have been corrupted by the adversary and by wicked men, as they have tempted
to corrupt and defile all things.
[*personal note* -
One time I was at a gas station (in 2008) and saw a large truck with writing on the side
in large letters: Victory from defeat. God gives us victory as we ‘walk’ obediently
and faithfully in His will. I never forgot that truck or its words because I had never seen anything like it before.]
You are born of Me and you were born for such a time as
this. I am the Author and the Finisher
of your faith. Stand strong in your faith, for you shall be victorious in
overcoming. I see the end from the beginning.
I call things that are not as though they were, for to Me, they already have
been, as I am not contained within the space-time continuum.
Hold fast to your confidence and in hope firmly to the
end. [Heb 3:6] Do not lean on your own understanding, for your own
knowledge is limited. It may cause you to doubt. The adversary does all he can to lead you
into unbelief, for unbelief opposes faith to the point of destruction if the
seeds of doubt [imaginations] are not destroyed (cast down). [2 Cor 10:5]
You must know the time you are in, yet it is
more crucial that you fear not and completely rest in Jesus [trust and
faith in Him alone]. Do you not see? You love Me because I first loved you.
If you love Me, you will have faith in Me. If you have faith in Me, you will trust
Me. When you trust Me, you will obey Me.
The end of all things is at hand. Remain
in Me; watch and pray. When you walk in
love, you will pray for one another, help one another and look out for one
another.
One in Christ Yeshua/Jesus
One in Christ Yeshua/Jesus
I will have a healthy Body: a Bride without spot or blemish.
I am gathering My Body globally and positioning each part accordingly. My Body must be united as one, non-competitive,
not conflicting, relying on each other as necessary, working in unison and
harmony to perform My perfect will.
Each part shall be confident that together they shall
accomplish the tasks given, while they await eagerly as one for their union
with the Head. The Bride awaits eagerly
for the arrival of the Bridegroom; having prepared all things, knowing the
glorious day soon shall be here. You
must be prepared for all that is coming, knowing that soon I shall return for
My Bride, My remnant.
You will rest in My love and obey because you trust Me. Fear
not; be strong and of good courage. Expect the battles and the onslaught, but do not give up the fight. Take heed and fear not: neither be
fainthearted. Weeping may endure for a
night (which it will, for it has been written), but joy comes in the morning.
Yes, there shall be great sorrow, travail, weeping, and
hardship, for these are commonplace in a war, and in battles within the war,
yet remember that the rejoicing comes with the victory. When you see these things come upon you, be
not afraid for I AM with you.
Yes, you must expect the battles, for this is war, but know
the victory you have in Me. You can and
will do this and through it all, I shall be glorified.
[For you are the...] Elect according to the foreknowledge of God
[YHVH Elohim], the Father [Abba]. You
are sanctified by the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of My blood (Jesus Christ). [1Pet 1:2-5]
You are
kept by the power of the Father through faith unto salvation which is being
revealed in this last time.
Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and
have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender
mercy. [Jam 5:11]
All My people endure persecution, afflictions, trials, and
tribulation, even as I suffered. Rejoice
if you are in heaviness through manifold temptations, for the trial of your
faith being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried
by fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at My appearing. [1Pet 1:7]
You shall not fear when you love Me, for perfect love casts
out fear. You have read in My Word; seen
in dreams and visions and heard in prophecies, all the horrific and tragic things
(the great tribulation) that are coming
upon the earth.
That Which Has Never Been
That Which Has Never Been
These warnings are given not only for My people to be alert
and prepared but also so that many will turn their hearts to Me, coming to Me
in repentance with a broken and contrite heart. This I do not despise, but I consider it of great value.
It is written that there shall be a time of trouble, such as
never was since there was a nation
even to that same time: and at that time My people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found
written in the book. [Dan 12:1]
People will be saying, ‘Has
this been in our days, or even in the days of our fathers?’ [Joel 1:2] In the days that are soon here shall be
affliction, such as was not from the
beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. [Mk 13:29]
Yet know this, that running parallel to the great darkness,
the beginning of and into the great tribulation will be a time of great light
and glory; a time of great and marvelous miracles and wonders that have never been seen or heard of before and
shall bring many (multitudes) into
the kingdom.
Ironically, there shall also be a great falling away. I spoke about My people doing the greater
works, just as I spoke of great tribulation full of events that have never been seen or heard of, nor shall
ever be again.
Truly you are in the very days of My glory being revealed in
ways that have never been heard of or seen before. This is not new to Me; but shall be to you,
for nothing is new under the sun.
Faith as the Forerunners
Faith as the Forerunners
Just as things were never heard of or seen before, such as
in the days of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and yes, even as in the days when I
walked the earth; so shall My people do the greater works, and so shall My
people delight in the revealing of My power and glory upon this earth, as I
again do things that have never been seen or heard of before.
Therefore, do not allow that which is happening and that
which is coming to frighten you. Be
strong and of good courage, for at the same time, wondrous and great things are and shall be manifesting; great things, the likes of which have never been
seen or heard of before. Behold, there are two sides to the coin.
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from
the beginning of creation which God created, neither shall be. [Mk 13:19] Behold! God
speaks once, yea twice, but man perceives it not. [Job 33:14]
For ask now of the
days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man
upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there has been any such thing as
this great thing is or has been heard like it? [Deut 4:32]
Therefore marvel, for you shall behold great things, not
only in the great tribulation of trials and afflictions but also in the wonders
and miracles that shall be happening. Yes, there are two sides to every
coin.
You shall behold two kingdoms clash, for the war is near to
ending, yet the victory is to the greater kingdom which I am King and Lord
of. There have been countless battles
since the beginning, and there are yet battles to endure, yet I AM the Lord of the battle.
Not Every Battle is Yours to Fight
Not Every Battle is Yours to Fight
Important! Remember that you are not
called to fight every battle. There are some battles that you will need to
stand down as others are sent in to fight. If you go into a battle that I have not commanded you to go into, then,
be sure that you will not win that battle.
Meddle not with them;
for I will not give you of
their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given Mount Seir
unto Esau for a possession. [Deu
2:5]
And the LORD said unto
Joshua, Fear not, neither be you dismayed: take all the people of war with you,
and arise, go up to Ai: See, I have given into your hand the
King of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land: [Josh 8:1]
The beasts arise, and the dragon goes forth, as does the
false prophet, yet greater am I in you than he that is in the world. Fear not. Trust Me so that you will obey Me. I am not a tyrant who demands obedience, yet I say to you that it is your
obedience that makes you victorious.
It is your faith that obeys, as you trust Me, for I am He
who loves you and brings you into victory, as you follow My instructions and
commandments. Remember well that the
strongest onslaught is just before the victory. Know that things look the worst
and the battles seem the thickest just before the victory takes place. Selah.
Greater is He in You than He in the World
Greater is He in You than He in the World
Satan and his armies will come against you (My people)
individually (and corporately) to halt you, to discourage you, and to bring you
into unbelief and defeat. He will bring an onslaught against you to weary
you, to weaken you, to cause you to doubt, to give up and retreat in unbelief,
or to slaughter you there on the spot, where you will not rise up again.
Be aware of and know your enemy and his strategies. Do not listen to him. Keep on the full armour and use your shield
[faith] to quench the fiery darts of the enemy. The onslaught is to cause you to not believe My promises and to doubt My
power.
He is the father of lies and the truth is not in him; for he
was a murderer from the beginning and abode not (dwelled not) in the
truth. The strongest onslaught for the
world shall not be the great tribulation, but the coming day of the Lord
foretold in My Word.
Blow you the trumpet
in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the
land tremble: for the day of the LORD comes, for it is nigh at hand; A day of
darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the
morning spread upon the mountains:
A great people and a
strong; there has not been ever the
like, either shall be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations. A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the
land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate
wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. [Joel 2:1-3]
(Note* - You do
well to read all of Joel to understand the “day of the Lord”, a small book with
only three chapters. BP)
But of the times and
the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves
know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For
when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But you, brethren, are
not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are all the
children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of
darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others: but let us watch and be
sober.
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God
has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ. [1 Thess 5:1-6; 8-9]
(Note* - Thessalonians 5 offers hope and guidance. BP)
The strong onslaught for the world in the great tribulation
is to bring multitudes into the valley of decision, to choose repentance and
humbly acknowledge My Son Jesus the Christ, the perfect Lamb slain, without
spot or blemish, whose atoning blood purchased redemption and the forgiveness
of sins (upon the cross).
Mercy Triumphs over Judgment
Mercy Triumphs over Judgment
It shall be the greatest and hardest test for all of
mankind. A great purging and purifying will
take place, but the remnant who are Mine shall overcome, walking victoriously
through this great hardship.
But you are a chosen
generation a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you
should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into
His marvelous light: [1Pet 2:9]
The greater works
shall be done and seen also, and ALL will KNOW that no arm
of flesh has done
this. Yes, it shall be for the sake of humankind, but for My
glory.
Fear not. Be strong and with love, encourage one
another to endure to the end.
For just as
in the natural, there are times that only certain parts of the body are
attacked by foreign intruders. Other times the entire body comes under
attack or is hit; so it is in the spiritual as well. Remember that I AM Sovereign.
It is I who
saves, heals, delivers and yes, restores.
Selah.
Whitewash nothing
and avoid flatteries, (not to be mistaken with
encouragement). You will know the difference. Be bold to speak truth or be
strong in
silence, just as I did before the Pharisees and before My accusers. In
either
situation, DO as I lead (as I command) and I shall be glorified in your
victory.
Simply have faith
(even as a grain of mustard seed),
for faith will indeed move
mountains. Refuse to let unbelief hinder you and overcome you. All I ask is
that you trust Me, allowing your
faith and love for Me to bring you into willing
obedience.
Faith Pleases God
Faith Pleases God
Expect to be
tried as Abraham, yet remember his faith and live for Me. It is
your faith that will bring you through
all trials, all tribulations, and all battles.
Great exploits are accomplished by faith. [Hebrews 11] Faith, trust, and
obedience go hand in hand and unite as one.
Remember that
which you have been taught. Be holy (set
apart) for I AM holy.
Keep your heart
perfect (mature, complete, whole) toward Me and I shall show
Myself strong on
your behalf. [2Chron 16:9] Trust in Me and obey.
Be willing. Hide yourself under the shadow of My wings
for I am your refuge.
Do not deny My power. You know Me: therefore, be strong, and
together we
shall do exploits. [Dan
11:32]
Look to Me and
you shall know the way to go, for I shall direct your steps.
And where I go you know, and the way you
know. [Jn 14:4]
for His glory alone
