Paradigm Shift-Part Two-- Every Believer Goes Thru Dark Seasons

If you missed the first part, it is here:

Paradigm Shift: A Message When Least Expected


Now to what the Lord led me to write…

Garden of Gethsemane

then Jesus said to His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me.

For whosever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. [Mat 16:24, 25]

As in the processes of dying and birthing, a paradigm shift is occurring, from that which was, to that which must be. It begins in your own garden of Gethsemane. Here is where great darkness falls upon the soul and spirit and the travailing begins. The flesh cries out, not desiring to suffer and die.  

This is the point where many give up; they will only go so far, for as the rich man who could not part with his riches, so there are things that many of My people refuse to surrender. Therefore, in love and mercy, I send forth chastisement, to see if they will endure correction. Yet again, I shall purge My people and prune away many branches, to see if fruit will come forth in a new season.

This is where everything and everyone will seem to be against you; and things only seem to get worse – and darker; like a horrible pit full of miry (swampy) clay. This is where you will either cry out to Me, or turn away. Press in, endure, keep in the race, cling to Me, for I AM with you.

Immovable Faith

You will feel shaken, horribly shaken, but fear not. Have I not said that all that can be shaken will be shaken? Yes, you have heard this and you have read it in My word. 

And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  [Heb 12:27] 

This is a good work, if you understand the purpose. The dross must be shaken loose, so it will surface, for dross is skimmed as it surfaces. Your faith must be immovable. Labor and travail, for it shall not be in vain.  Let your labor be done in fear and trembling. Trust Me. 

 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.  [Pro 25:4]

To those whose house is built upon the rock, though the winds blow and the house is shaken, it shall not fall. Remain steadfast and unmovable in faith.  Lo, I AM doing a good work.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. [1Cor 15:58]

 

Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  [Phil 2:28]

Who has not gone through these dark times? All My people have gone through great darkness; yet in great travailing, weeping and praying, they persevere and go through. In the shaking, your eyes shall be opened and you shall see all that is not of Me. Will you trust Me through it all?

All that is not of Me shall surface and nothing shall remain secret. Let it go in repentance and believe in Me. Submit yourself to Me, resist the enemy who seeks to keep you in bondage and he must flee.[Jam 4:7] I have chosen this furnace of affliction for you, yet it is for good, as you cling to Me and follow the leading of My holy Spirit in you. Submit My child to the work I AM doing and fear not.


2012-sex and drug scandal
Ted Haggard

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.  [Eccl 12:14]

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. [Mk 4:22]

Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.  [Is 48:10]

Cry out to Me and I hear you. My hand is not shortened that it cannot save, nor is My ear heavy that it cannot hear. [Is 59:1]

Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. [Is 50:10]

Forgiveness is Crucial

Let no bitterness, no strife, no hatred, no anger, no jealousy, no envying, let nothing that is not of Me be found in you. Let forgiveness pour out from your heart, for it shall be a healing balm to you. 

Think upon Saul and David. Even when David knew he was anointed to be king and Saul sought to kill David, did My servant David rise up in pride? Did he kill Saul when he had the chance?

No, he cut a piece of Saul’s robe one time, to let Saul know that he had the opportunity to kill him, but did not. He submitted himself to Saul, who was still king and trusted Me to work things out.

Behold, this day your eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave: and some bade (told) me kill you: but my eye spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.  [1Sam 24:10]

 

     And he (Saul) said to David, You are more righteous than I: for you have rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded you evil.

And you have shown this day how that you have dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into your hand, you killed me not.  [1Sam 24: 17,18]

Though he spoke fair words and understood the mercy David showed him, Saul did not genuinely repent. Therefore, I say unto you, do not be as Saul. Genuinely repent and believe, forgive and die to self; then shall you be raised up and become the new man. I shall have a holy people, without spot or blemish. Yea and if you fall, I say rise up, rise up again, and cry out to Me.

For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. [Pro24: 16]

Do Not Fear the Darkness

When the darkness comes upon you, as you go through the dark season, I shall shine My light upon your heart and reveal the secret things that you have not known are there. 

Fear not; neither be dismayed or confounded. Be strong and of good courage. I work in the darkness; I work in ways you cannot see.

Your emotional condition is not necessarily your heart condition. Allow this piercing of the heart, for out of the wound shall pour forth all that festers and infects you. 

Surrender it into My hands with genuine repentance, believe and I shall heal you; you shall have a new heart. I shall shine My light into the darkness, and shall shine light upon your heart.  Then shall you see clearly; then shall you know my glory in the face of My Son.

                                     

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. [1Cor 4:6]

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. [Is 60:2]

My people must go through these dark times. Many have despaired, been troubled, perplexed, cast down and cried out to Me. Those whom I have raised up mightily went through the darkness that came upon them. 

They cried out to Me, yet felt so helpless, alone and abandoned, not understanding the times of My silence. If you fall, rise back up again. Repent and believe and let your faith hold fast to Me.

Think upon My friend Abraham, after I told him about the son that he would have, and that he would be the father of many nations. What happened?

                                  

And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.  [Gen 15:12]

 Did Moses fear the darkness or did he know that even in the darkness, he would find Me?

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was[Ex 20:21]

 And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness

Think upon the apple of My eye, David. Did he not travail in times of the darkness that came upon his soul? Did he not feel so alone?


O LORD, why do you cast my soul away?  Why do you hide your face from me? Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless [Psalm 88:14,15]

You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Lover and friend have you put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness  [Ps 88:6, 18]

 Two godly men who feared and obeyed God wrote about their dark time - their dark night of the soul. Oswald Chambers wrote a poem called, ‘Dark Night of the Soul’, in his book, ‘Abandoned by God’.

Cut it off. My heart is bleeding,

And my spirit’s wrung in pain,

Yet I hear my Jesus pleading,

Cut it off or all is vain.


So I’ve stopped my ears in terror

Lest self-pity make me quail,

Lest at last I take the error

And God’s purpose thwart and fail.


I am bowed to death in sadness,

For the pain is all too great,

But the dear Lord must find pleasure

In the way He maketh straight.


In the late 1600s, François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon (please do not ask me to pronounce that), often called Francois Fenelon [that's better, easier] was a French Catholic archbishop, theologian, poet and writer.  

He wrote: His [God’s] transformation is done on the cross in darkness, poverty and death.

godly men

Think upon Elijah, Job, Moses and Paul. Have you felt as they did? Have you wanted Me to take you away from the earth? Have you despaired desperately? Yes, you have. Lo, I AM with you.

But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. [1Kings 19: 4]

 

What happened? A paradigm shift… An angel came, touched him and Elijah went on his journey with new strength (new hope) after eating ‘meat’ that I sent.

And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. [1Kings19: 7, 8] 

Depression is a reality
-
Job, Moses, Elijah, Saul, David, 
all suffered bouts of depression.
It is not always due to sin.

Moses, who was faithful and meek, despaired over the constant complaining and bitterness of the people. Now the Israelites were not satisfied with manna anymore; they wanted meat. It seemed more than Moses could bear because the people never seemed satisfied and were angry with him. He wanted to die.

I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. And if you deal thus with me, kill me, I pray You, out of hand, if I have found favour in Your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. [Num11: 14,15]

What happened? A paradigm shift… I commanded Moses to gather seventy men of the elders of Israel, and I put the spirit that had been upon Moses upon them, so that Moses should not bear the burden of the people alone, and the seventy prophesied throughout the camp. Then I answered his prayer and sent meat to the people, but the lust of their flesh did anger me. [Num 11:25, 31-33]

Even the apostles despaired at times and desired to leave this life.

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: [2Cor 1:8]

   We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [2Cor4:8,9]

Yet again, a paradigm shift took place, as once again My people were strengthened…

But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  [2Cor 15: 57]

So shall it be with My people who persevere, who go through the dark seasons, who cry out in repentance, if there be need in any area for repentance. Yea, cry out to Me and I shall strengthen you as you go through purging and purification.

Paradigm Shift- A Message When Least Expected

A Message When Least Expected

(NOTE: Edited a broken sentence and added two pictures -BP)

unexpected messages

click any pic to enlarge

I was strongly moved to repost a prophetic message that was written thirteen [13] years ago. Many times over the past couple of decades (since 2004 approximately), scriptures from Joel 2 and Acts 2 have been the motivation behind my posting prophetic messages.

And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit. [Joel 2:2-29: Acts 2:17-18]

David would not touch God's anointed
Saul did not care; Yahweh protected David

To me, the above scriptures reveal that El Shaddai (Yahweh) is not showing favoritism or partiality, as some who call themselves 'prophets' indirectly (mostly) suggest, with phrases like: 'Touch not My anointed; do My prophets no harm'. [1Chron 16:22; Ps 105:15]

Since Eden, the living God had a plan of salvation. Genesis chapter 3:14 onward lays out God's plan, which, most likely the serpent did not expect. There is a purpose and intent behind the quoting of the 'touch not' scriptures that the false teachers/prophets love to spin. 

Firstly, the scriptures are taken out of context. The Word of God is direct, and cannot possibly be misunderstood.

O you seed of Israel His servant, you children of Jacob [Israel], His chosen ones.  [1Chron 16:14] 

Then further on:

When you were but few, even a FEW, and strangers in it. And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; He allowed NO MAN to do them wrong; yea, He reproved [rebuked, scolded] kings for their sakes,

Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm. Sing unto the Lord [Yahweh], all the earth; show forth from day to day His salvation. [vs 20-23] NKJV [Emphasis is mine]

It is clear-cut. Abraham's seed, Israel (Jacob's name was changed by God) are the chosen ones. And Yahweh warns that He will allow no man to do them wrong

False teachers and false prophets today quote the verse, giving people the [wrong] impression that it is somehow pointing to them today, that they are the ones who are divinely appointed or divinely chosen. 

(You have to watch and listen carefully over a period of time to hear the false teachers/prophets 'double-speak'.) They will testify that they knew they had a prophetic gift when they were young, perhaps someone said something to them, or they saw or heard something at a young age that proved prophetic.

Either that or they will insist they are NOT prophets, yet quote the above scripture if challenged too profusely, or accused of being false. Those scriptures are to silently dare the accusers to 'cast the first stone. If not, then repent for speaking against God's chosen.' 

The false prophets, false apostles, and false teachers quote those scriptures so often around the globe that it is overkill. It is astounding how many people will follow these false ones - followed by the thousands, even hundreds of thousands in some cases.

Chosen For a Reason 

Abraham's descendants (seed) through
Jacob [Israel] are the chosen ones.

The Jewish people (Israelites) are still the 'chosen', except by those who believe Israel has been replaced by the church, which is a lie (replacement theory). That is a bold-faced lie, and a doctrine of demons. Antisemitism has escalated exponentially all around the world. 

Many of the prophets compete (silently) with each other. Yet on the other hand, they support each other against the accusers who call them false prophets, even after countless failed prophecies. Instead, they highlight the ones that DID come to pass.

Hmm, and all this time, I thought they wanted to glorify Jesus. Oh right, they do.

Around 2012? (give or take, I would have to try and dig through the archives), I wrote an article called: It is Not a Competition, It is About Love. Think upon the two commandments Jesus spoke of, the two upon which hung all the law and the prophets hung. [Mat 22:37-50] 

caring for a wounded enemy

The first commandment to love God with all we are (heart, soul, mind, strength), and to love our neighbour as ourselves. Man, that is a topic all in itself - with all this superficial, fake love going around the world (with everyone and their uncle flashing heart symbols with the hands). 

There is a cost to this walk...will you turn your face and walk away too?

Even the devil is professing love and unity, and we know what a liar he is, but he is a master counterfeiter, copy-cat. (Sitting on my hands so I do not go down that rabbit trail with all its maze of tunnels lol

With all my heart it is my hope that Christ is seen as the core, the focal point behind [and in] the prophetic messages I post. I could never call myself a prophet. The ancient prophets NEVER got it wrong unless they were false, prophets of Baal.

double-speak = forked tongue

You never heard them say, "I am not perfect. I see in part and prophesy in part. I make mistakes; I'm human." If you say anything like that, do not call yourself a prophet and do not continue telling the meaning behind things and telling people what is coming in the future.

It was over a decade or more ago, perhaps twelve or thirteen years ago, that  the Holy Spirit led me to write that people today have exchanged daily horoscope readings for daily prophetic words.

And look at those who do NOT call themselves "prophets". If they are going away to a conference or on holidays, they will pre-record their daily 'prophetic' word so that nobody misses anything whilst they are away.

Could you see Jonah or Elijah doing that - leaving 'messages' with a scribe or another prophet to deliver them to the people whilst they are away, so they can keep in touch with Yahweh. How does that even sound? Ridiculous, right? Right!

The Sin of Rebellion, Idolatry - Witchcraft

seducing  spirit
temptation is not a sin
but make the wrong choice and...
sin is sin

I remember the day where I had no fear of the Lord, the day I rebelled and fell into idolatry. I was tempted and I listened to the wrong voice. Confusion was my portion. What a wretched harlot - choosing a sinful, perverted man over the purity and holiness of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ. What a fool!

(Bad love is better than no love, I used to say). I was steeped in deception, believing I was so horrible that even my own family legally disowned me in court, so afraid that I would try and come after an inheritance, after their 'riches'.

I never wanted their money - I only ever wanted their love. It never happened.

Despite all my sins (and the guilt and shame that overflowed a stained and tarnished cup, marred fragments of something no longer distinguishable - hints of what once was in the shadows), the day came when I genuinely repented with godly sorrow, broken beyond repair - no longer of any use. 

Jesus (Yeshua) forgave me. I felt like the woman caught in adultery, the woman at the well, the sinful woman who was despised by all who saw her as she washed the feet of the Messiah with her tears, and dried His feet with her hair, anointing them with expensive perfume.

All these women wrapped up into one, still would not adequately describe my uncleanness, or my wretched state. And still, the Good Shepherd had found the black sheep completely covered in the filth of the world and the stench of sin.

And yet, He did not desert me. The Holy Spirit works with unbelievers (despite what some say). He will never force us to come to Jesus, but He surely knows the way to the heart. The choices are ours to make.

Things have accelerated, they have been ramped up due to the shortened time. I believe the Lord grants people strength without them realizing it, but that is personal speculation. 

He is so faithful, merciful in His judgments, wise in distributing justice, but loving us enough to punish us so we have the opportunity to learn, repent and turn away from sins that will lead to our destruction.       

When I realized the depth and fullness of my sins, my pride, arrogance and rebellion, I wept until I could not weep anymore... crushed, flattened like roadkill, not only broken and crushed under the weight of my sins, but under the heavy condemnation and accusations of the adversary and enemies of the cross.

The journey was long before this wretched woman, this idolater, who had committed every abominable sin one can think of humbly bowed before a holy Saviour. His perfect blood washed me, cleansed me with fullers soap.

Refiners fire purified me, purged in the fire...He had always told me, "first the inside of the cup". It took so long -- Mercy was granted and grace. Judgment and justice had been carried out. 

Sin has consequences. Just as King David, as repentant as he was (and he was - there is no mention of him ever sinning again in lust after Bathsheba). When he repented after her, David genuinely repented with godly sorrow.

we are responsible for
our choices

Sadly, he too bore the consequences of his sins. Solomon was full of lust as David had been, but worse. He disobeyed God by marrying foreign wives, after God told him not to because they would lead him into idolatry. That happened.

Absalom (the king's beloved son) rebelled against David and even plotted to kill him. He killed a half-brother, Amnon, two years after he had raped Absalom's sister Tamar. Later, Absalom was killed by Joab when he was riding a donkey in the woods and his hair got caught in a lower branch of a tree. 

I bore the consequences of my sins. I fell into idolatry, and chased after love (something very foreign to me as even my own parents legally disowned me in court so I would not go after an inheritance, their money - they were well off. My mother had two daughters with my step-father who received the money.) 

I never grew up with them; I was on the street at 16, a few months after I was returned after being kidnapped for 95 days (a little more than two and a half months). Even though a rendezvous point was made at a large city mall parking lot in broad daylight, my parents did not believe much of what I said.

That broke my heart. You see, there were three gang members in the vehicle that drove me to the place. They parked four or six (not sure) rows away from where my stepfather parked. 

The last thing said to me was not to say a word about where I was held (the house), or there would be hell to pay. It was spoken as the jacket was moved ever so slightly so that I could see enough of a Smith & Wesson Magnum .357 [model 19] to know he meant business.

No one can tell me that Jesus did not protect me back then, and even the family (we moved out of province shortly after; my parents were so furious at me, as if I planned on being kidnapped). I had to leave home to live on the streets just for peace of mind.

                                            

Yes, Jesus was with me even when I did not deserve it. Through all my lust, all my addictions, all my idolatry, all of it, He saw something in me that I did not see. Although I had a long way to go, Jesus was (is) longsuffering; He is steadfast.

Even when I could not put two and two together about God or Jesus - I had no clue at all. I never saw any of them (anyone involved in the kidnapping) ever again, and that was sixty years ago [CORRECTION: Sorry, what was I thinking? Hard memory...I was 16, so it was 54 years ago, not 60--BP). 

I would not even recognize them today, if they are even alive. (Many of them were older than me, 20s, 30s) I forgave each and every one, long ago - and THAT is the Holy Spirit's work, and the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ. His glory!

Yes, the Good Shepherd has been marvelous to me - as undeserving as I am.  He was with me and I did not know it.

He waited so many years and I have no clue why...He is beyond words. Jesus is an absolutely astounding Creator. What a good, good God we have...Most of my life I wasted, but now in the winter of my life - it is like He gave me a second, third, fourth (70x7 chance) to be a winter rose.

winter roses


I am not the same person I was even three years ago. He changes us; it is a process. He does it for all of us.

Being confident of this very thing; He who began a good work in you will complete (perform) it until the day of Jesus Christ. [Phil 1:6]

No matter what you have done, you can be forgiven. The only unforgiveable sin is blasphemy of the most Holy Spirit. Time is running out and so many are not paying attention. The youth are hungry for truth, but so are many adults.

Be encouraged, the Lord does have His people scattered around, yes, even on YouTube. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, in Jesus' name. He will...grab your Bible. Use it please...trust Jesus.

Be rid of FEAR (it always hangs out with unbelief). I flunked a test recently but I am so glad! What wonderful lessons and strengthening has come about as a result of that.  I mentioned it very recent posts. Witchcraft is rampant, and my oh my, they are dressed up as "prophets of God".

Please be careful. Please involve the Holy Spirit in your selections. Sometimes I forget too, but we need to start making new good habits, and disciplining ourselves more. It will pay off - we have a Helper, an Advocate, we are not on our own. More on this hopefully in upcoming posts. Glory to God; I exalt you Yeshua!

Do not give up. There are godly men and godly women (I am not speaking about women pastors or prophets, but those who have podcasts and great guests, those who are warning about false doctrines, and providing outstanding examples...and much more.


In 2011, the Lord put "the clash of the kingdoms" on my heart. I often mentioned it on a radio program I hosted called Time of Revealing, and later W.O.E. (Warriors of Endurance) in the Time of Revealing. Abba is the magnificent. I love the Lord.

Friends, there is a remnant out there, yes, even on YouTube, honest-to-goodness teachers who are sounding alarms, and pointing out the wolves, and the false doctrines. I hope to point people in the right direction soon, but you can always, and I do mean, ALWAYS trust Jesus. God is our Rock, an ever present help!

Now I would like to share with you a message given to me back in 2012. Thank goodness I posted it again in April, 2015, as I lost many articles from May 2008 until December 2012. Articles off this blog that I had placed on an external hard drive, preparing a new website that someone said they were buying for me.

Sadly, she changed her mind but my grief was when I had made the mistake of not copying all my files from those years. Ransomware got on my external and countless files were lost.

That being said (I have told the story many times over the years), I am led to repost the following from the "Paradigm Shift" series, Part 1 (one). The link will be provided after I post two more articles. 

Below is the first of three. May the Lord bless you as only He can do.

Paradigm Shift

Paradigm Shift
Old meets new - Man meets AI

Nothing is greater than the
Sovereign and Providential Yahweh

A Message When Least Expected

(this title was not in the original post; it is for now: in Christ's love)

cling to Jesus like grapes to a Vine

Can you still trust Me when you seemingly have no outward joy in life, faint hope and trials that seem never-ending? Will you wait upon Me and wait for Me, when I am silent? 

Have you been in hiding or gone into hiding, just as Elijah was in hiding in a cave by Brook of Cherith? Yes, David hid in caves as well. Do you feel cut off from the world and everything worldly? Do you feel cut off by others who have called themselves by My name?

Do you feel bound, hand and foot – desiring to go where I will send you, but unable to yet go, for I have not said where, when or how? Do your hands feel inactive – desiring to do more, to do greater works, to be more empowered by My Holy Spirit? 

Do you feel that I have passed you over? Do you wonder what you have done for Me that has pleased Me or been of any real significance? Do you search your heart and weep because you seem so far from where you desire to be, or think you should be, yet you know that I have brought you far from where you once were?

Have you covered your mouth at times, unsure if you should speak forth that which is burning deep within? Do you feel that when you do speak, it seems as though no one listens and those that do are few? Is your spirit heavy; are you struggling to speak life over the aching of your shattered heart? Do you feel at times as if your light is hidden under a bushel? 

                                      

Does it seem at times like your candle has been put out or very weak at best? In a moment of weakness, do you feel as though your holiness is defiled? Do you feel burnt out; sifted as wheat; misunderstood, unappreciated, profaned or weak?  Do you struggle within, desiring for it all to end? Do you feel close to death or do you desire that your time here ends soon? You have cried out like Job, like Elijah …

"Let My people go", I spoke through Moses. "Unbind him and let him go", My Son Jesus/Y’shua spoke about Lazarus when he came forth from the grave. Come out; come out from amongst them.

I have spoken to My people, come out of the tombs of the dead churches. I have said to come out of Babylon; come out of Egypt; come out from the world; touch no unclean thing. Be separate, for you are in the world, but not of this world.

As Lazarus, My people could not see ahead at first, nor were their steps sure. Unbind them and let them go, I have said to the tormenting spirits. Death must come, death to the old and you shall see My resurrection power in the new.

Shake off your heaviness and your multitude of sorrows, for I have not finished with My mercies towards you. I shall be glorified. When you bring forth in lamentation, sorrow and great labor, I shall give you rest, and ease your labor.

I shall strengthen you. When you go into the field, laced by the woods, it is a place of solitude, yea, but you shall be shut in with Me. Do not be afraid, nor let your heart be troubled. I AM with you.  

For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.  [Is 55: 12]

Travail and bring forth, for from the labor (great pain), miraculous victory is birthed.

Gethsemane and the Death Cry

crushed like olives under pressure

In the days of His flesh, Y’shua offered up prayers and supplications with blood, sweat and strong tears, to Him who was able to save Him from death. He was heard because of His reverence toward Me, His Father. [Heb 5:7]

In [Rev 12: 1;5-6], you read where the woman flees to the wilderness, where she has a place prepared for her. Cry out in your spirit, or even in your flesh and lament. I shall be with you to bring you over to the promise; to bring you through to victory. It is time.

There is a void in the hearts of the sufferers, there is a death cry that rises up from the lips of their spirit, yea, but I AM the God of salvation. Sacrifice up the voice of praise and thanksgiving. Yea, death is a lone journey, as is birth. When turning from sin to repentance, there is a deathly groaning, a cry that comes forth from deep within a man’s soul, a horror in his flesh, as he enters the valley of death.

I AM He who will comfort you in your suffering. In death, there is inward travail and outward conflict – so it is in birthing, there is inward travail and outward conflict, as a great shift takes place. Satan comes to destroy the victory. He can appear as a pharaoh, as he did in Egypt with Moses. 

He can appear as a Pontius Pilate, doing as Pilate did with Y’shua, as he washed his hands, endeavoring to cleanse himself outwardly of any responsibility and guilt. Can you comprehend that Satan is resisting your victory? He will oppose it to the limit of his power, for his power is limited by what I allow.  

Weep, Lament, Travail

    Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs (outward conflict); so have we been in Your sight, O LORD.

We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.  [Is 26: 17, 18]

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. (*note-compare with [Rom 8:28])

A woman when she is in travail (inward travail) has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child (outward conflict), she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. [Jn 16: 20,21]

Y’shua/ Jesus travailed with My plan of salvation, for He knew the work, the suffering and the sacrifice that only He could and would make. The Garden of Gethsemane (oil press) was the beginning of His labor, the beginning of His crushing; the beginning of His ‘pouring out’.  

Yea, travail is pain. You must go through it all, in dying to self, yet I AM with you. Only through travail and labor can new life be birthed; a vision becomes reality!  

     Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

    Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? 

     for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 

Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.

[Is 66:7-9]

Be in pain and labor awhile longer, you who are faint in spirit and weary of the pain. Now you shall come forth, as Lazarus. You shall dwell for a time in the field, amongst the trees… a place of solitude, yet the time of solitude is nearly over. (Think upon Job, Joseph, David…)

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies. 

[Mic 4:10]

This is My Will 

Are you greatly vexed in your spirit? Are you brought very low? Do you feel so very alone? Have you come to the end of yourself? I looked upon your misery and considered your distress. I answer your prayers. Have you not prayed, ‘Not my will but Thy will, Father?’

Hold fast and pray, for the day comes when you shall say, ‘It is finished’.  If you are full of heaviness, greatly humbled, mourning sorely, full of lamentation, let your lamentation be heard on high. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. [Ps 22:11]

Bring forth with labor, for this victory is birthed after great sorrow. Are you feeling very weary? Bear up with good courage for that which has befallen you. This is My will concerning you. Arise and do! Go through for joy comes in the morning.  

Remember Joseph who had been given two dreams with a great vision, yet everything seemingly (outwardly)went [appeared] wrong in his life from his youth until well into manhood, before the vision was birthed. It was birthed after great sorrow and labouring as a prisoner. Having been hated by his brothers, sold into slavery, poorly treated, yet oddly respected ('his God is with him'), falsely accused of trying to seduce Potiphar’s wife and wrongfully imprisoned. 

He was seemingly forgotten by the king’s cupbearer, who promised to say a good word to the king on Joseph’s behalf. To many, it seemed as though he were forsaken by Me.

This is war, from the time of man’s fall, and there are endless battles, but I AM the Lord of the battle. Is the altar of your heart broken down?  Does it seem that your temple has been destroyed and defiled by man (people)? Does the inner place seem laid waste? Is the music and the song of your heart put to silence?  

Does your rejoicing seem to be put to an end? Is your candle put out, or flickering faintly, with barely any strength? Do you feel your holiness has been defiled by the things you are exposed to in the world; things you hear and things that pass before your eyes? Yes, this is My perfect will for you, for I AM the Alpha and Omega; He who knows the end result from the beginning.  


[End of Part One]

for His glory
