A Message When Least Expected

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.
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.

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.
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.

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]
