R-I-S-E

 

The following comes from 2016, but is applicable now – that is how God works – ever present. This is not scripture. The Lord already established His word long ago through anointed men.

Below is a message of hope – may it be received as a strengthening from the Lord. Our Redeemer is creative in all He does, yet we need reminders.

Be blessed – be strengthened. Be encouraged

And may the man from Galilee, the Messiah of Nazareth, be high and lifted up. For He said that if He is lifted up from the earth (cross and ascension), He would draw all men to Himself. [Jn 12:32]

See the scripture reference – especially the numbers?

Perfect alignment! Evenly balanced... 

Let us not fear – let us trust. Amen

R-I-S-E! Mount up, eagles…

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. [Is 40:30, 31]

Prepare

         

          
For I who have begun a good work in you shall see it through, for I AM the Author and the Finisher (Perfecter) of your faith. Receive, receive My love and know I go before you. I AM your front defense. I AM your rear guard. Fear not! When you feel faint, come to Me. I AM the living water that will refresh you. I shall be your strength for I AM that I AM. Come closer, come deeper for I AM your God and you are My people.

If you shall trust and obey and step out in faith, as Abraham, surely you shall witness all that I promised... And thru it all, I shall be glorified. Yea, seek ye first the kingdom of God and ALL these things shall be added unto you. [Mat 6:33]

Fear not My child…do not look around in dismay. How often must I tell you not to look at the circumstances? How many times has that which you have seen before deceived you in the past?

I know your pain and sorrow. I grieve to see you suffer. Think upon My Son, for He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and people hid as it were their faces from Him; He was despised, and they esteemed Him not. Surely, He bore their griefs and carried their sorrows yet they did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted… [Is 53:3, 4]

Ah, but you wonder why I leave you amidst all this inner devastation and why I do not simply take it all away? Yet I say to you that it is as a refiner’s fire, purging out the dross, burning up the wood, hay and stubble.

Everything that may abide the fire, you shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: Nevertheless, it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abides not the fire you shall make go through the water. [Num 31:23]

You do not see all the work I AM doing, not only within you, but within all My people.

Some have wearied from the warnings; others have wearied from the waiting… yet in that waiting, those who die to self will rise up in My power and I will trust them to do the greater works in all humility, love and mercy for they will do justly. Prepare My people, for you have already heard, prepare and trust Me.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him: and by His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. [Is 53:5, 6]

It is no mistake that you live this day, for you were indeed born for such a time as this. Yea, but the way to your destiny is by the cross; death to the flesh; to self. No one can go with you for death is a journey one must go alone. Yet remember I AM with you.

O sing unto the Lord a new song; for He has done marvelous things: His right hand, and His holy arm has gotten Him the victory.

 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth: for the Lord has spoken it. [Ps 98:1; Is 25:8]

Make the choice to stop all sin in thought, word and deed. Make the choice to overcome. I will help you if you run to Me [Jesus/Yeshua], rather than give into temptation. Have I not promised you that when it comes to temptation, I will not give you more than you can bear, but make a way of escape?

Have you come this far only to give up now? Have you not heard that when you are weak, then you are strong? I AM your strength, for it is in your weakness that I rise up in you. Will you not rest your head upon My bosom and trust in Me?

Or will you listen to the devil, the same one who deceived Eve? He used her to get to Adam and together they fell, and along with them did all the nature of mankind fall. Do you not see the lessons?

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walk about, seeking whom he may devour. [1Pet 5:8]

Have I not urged you to bring all things to me in prayer? Did I anger at Gideon when he wanted to know if it was My voice that he heard, and in his caution, he requested a sign not once, but twice, just to be sure? Sound the trumpet and say, the time, the time appointed has arrived. Wait for it.

You have wearied in your waiting, yet I say to you, humble yourself in My sight and I shall lift you up, and give you the strength to abide until the moment the time arrives upon you. This is where understanding is; in Me, this is where true peace is found.  Remember well that which is written:

The Lord your God in the midst of you is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over you with singing. [Zeph3:17]

O the afflicted soul that learns to trust in Me; and the wounded spirit that collapses into My healing hands. I shall turn your sorrows into singing, and your misery into joy. I will turn your captivity before your eyes and cast out the prison guard and all the enemies of your soul that held you hostage, believing that the price My Son paid was insufficient. Yea, but He came to set the captives free. Go through the door for it will bring you out of that prison.

Hush now, be still. This is not your battle!

My tenderness broods over you as surely as when My Spirit brooded over the grave of My Son moments before the resurrection power opened wide the grave and My Son arose victoriously! Angels burst forth into singing.

Liberty leads the captives out…songs of deliverance fill the air. It is time; the time is now. The hour is upon many, for salvation, deliverance and healing are in My hand. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

It is all about being still right now, and having done all, to stand. Stand, trust as you rest in Me.

Deep calls unto deep…

Yellow Rose Promises

Yellow Rose Promise

For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come to light (out into the open). [Lk8:17]

For have you wearied in believing your life is a desert life, with nothing but dryness and hopelessness stretched out far ahead, and nothing but the sands of time rippling in uneven, haphazard rows behind you, seemingly random and without pattern?

Can you not see the oasis of hope where My promises flourish over the parched land you travel? Have I not walked with you and often carried you, when your strength failed and life made you dizzy? Can you not see with your spiritual eyes? Has the enemy tossed you to and fro so fiercely that the “sands of time” have temporarily blinded your eyes?

Has he seduced you into pacing back and forth like a caged animal? Has he beguiled you into believing I have turned My eyes away from you, or that I have forgotten you along the shores of hope? Do you feel like one grain of sand amidst the unsearchable and innumerable grains of sand upon that same shore?

Have you aborted the vision with the instruments of deception that the enemy planted in your mind? Or did you toss out the tainted weaponry smeared in unbelief and come running to Me? Look and see; My arms are open, yet many are they that have no time for Me.

I say, Come, seek Me whilst I can still be found, for there is much I long to tell you. Yet, if you find no time to be with your king, then I sorrow with you, knowing you endanger yourself – a trap is set so that many will choose to fall away in the end.

Come, come unto Me you who are weary and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. [Mat 11:28]

Let Us Sup Together

Seek Me, you who are humble [Zeph 2:3], and you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. [Jer 29:13] Come and let us sup together. [Rev 3:20]

Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man shall hear My voice and open the door, I will come to Him and will sup with Him, and he with Me. [Jer 29:13; 33:3; Rev 3:20]

If fear and uncertainty are knocking at the door of your heart, come to Me. Fast and pray and seek My face [Neh 1:4], for I have been calling for My own to come away from all that distracts and spend more time with Me. The flesh has its own desires and wants, but I ask that you lay that down, and sacrifice a little more time with Me right now, so that I may instruct you, comfort you, build you up. 

Direction and strength are what My people need to steer through the wreckage of these turbulent days. Tempers flare, accusations sound out, finger pointing has become more prominent, and the enemy laughs with great pleasure over the division, the dividing, he has and is causing among the masses.

For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deed of the body, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [Rom 8:13-15]

Overcome the flesh with the help of My Spirit, and discipline yourself to come into My presence and stay awhile. You need Me, and I AM here. I will guide you through these days, step by step, but it must be a two-way street, and you must trust Me.

Read My Word for I shall speak to you through it. I shall confirm what My Spirit speaks deep within, in that still, small voice…deep within the chambers of your heart (spirit). If I revealed matters to king Nebuchadnezzar, trust that I shall reveal things to My children, especially when they sacrifice the wants of the flesh to spend time with Me.

But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed are these; [Dan 2:28]

Make Acts 4:27-30 personal, if you have faith to believe that I AM still the same yesterday, today and forever [Heb 13:8], and that I AM pleased to give good gifts to My children. [Mat 7:11] Things are moving swiftly, so swiftly that even the blind have become aware, as the moving winds pass by them.

Be strong and of good courage, for as I urge you to come into My presence and stay awhile, stay long enough to connect your heart with Mine, in oneness, in love, in Spirit and in truth. Allow Me to strengthen you further, to feed your spirit and to quench the thirst brought on by the dry lands you have been walking through.

Do not forget the works and wonders, no matter how trivial, no matter how grand, that I have done in your life, and in the lives of your forerunners. Indeed, I AM well able to furnish a table in the wilderness, and bring forth manna from heaven, or meat in abundance, or waters to refresh you that come forth from a rock.

Highway of Holiness

I AM calling you forth, to walk the way of holiness, where the unclean shall not pass over. Come so that I can strengthen the weak hands that have tired (wearied), and steady the knees that give way in weakness, from much use and fatigue.

Be strong and fear not. Have I not always said to be strong and of good courage? I shall cause your eyes to see that which was hidden by the enemy; as I rip the veil of illusion away. My people cry out for truth in these days when truth is a stranger. Come to Me, for I AM the way, the truth and the life. Through Me, I shall bring you to the Father. [Jn 14:6]

The shadows of evil threaten, but they have far to reach to cast a shadow upon the highway of holiness. It is a road that the evil adversaries dare not approach, let alone travel. 

If you have cried out as one wearied in walking in the wilderness and the solitary place, I say I am here to refresh you…but it requires that you draw near first.

Come near and witness the rose blossom in the desert. Witness it flourish. Rejoice with singing and thanksgiving, for now I have spoken in the silence. Now My arms are open. All who repent will know the peace of My arms wrapped around them in forgiveness and acceptance. I uphold you, for I AM He who will strengthen you. [Is 41:10]

Selah

[End of message]

[Note**: I was aware of yellow roses throughout this time with the Lord (Adonai), hence, the title. I wondered about it and decided to check it out. It is amazing! 

                  

Keep in mind that Yeshua/Jesus is known as the Rose of Sharon.

It turns out that spiritually, yellow rose is symbolic for several things. What caught my attention first was that it was symbolic for “being in God’s presence”, “wisdom”, “joy”, “glory of God” and “faith – anointing of God”.

Yellow is representative of the colour gold, which in turn represents God’s holiness, His majesty and His divine nature. One thing I heard long ago was that a yellow rose meant “friendship”. That is precious. BP)

And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the FRIEND of God. [Yahweh/YHWH] [Jam 2:23]

So simple a child can become a friend of God – BELIEVE GOD!

This is Your Time and Season! - Part 3

This is Your Time and Season! Part 3

From the Lord and to His Glory Alone

(Excerpt from WAIT – December 4, 2008)

Hold fast to your faith, mighty warriors! Stand fast! Yes, stand fast and wait upon the Lord. I know you have been shaken strongly, even sifted as wheat. I know you feel weak spiritually (exhausted). Perhaps you feel spiritually disoriented.

Fear not, be strong in Me. Rest in Me. Quickly you shall be strengthened if you wait on Me. I am with you in this - yea, I am in all that concerns you. There are more battles fast approaching. War is coming.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [Eph 6:12]

You have done well in all the tests (gold is tested and purified), and in the trials (silver is refined), and in tribulations (times of preparation).

[…]  You are My child, who has proven to serve Me with loyalty despite the attempts of the enemy to have you, 'Curse God and die.', (Job's wife to Job) or even in, 'Has God said?' (serpent to Eve)

Then said his wife unto him, Do you still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and die [the adversary wants you to give up] [Job2:9]

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [the adversary plants doubt to birth unbelief] [Gen3:1]

Yea, rest in Me, waiting upon Me and I shall give you rest. I shall quickly strengthen you, for the hour is late. As spoken to Joshua, Gideon, and David the king, so I say to you, I give you victory. You shall overcome the adversary and all the enemies of the cross, when you do as I command and go where and when I direct you (obey).

Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head [Christ]above all [1Chro 29:11]

But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ [1Cor 15:57]

And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. [† the cross] [Col 2:15]

Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint [Deu 8:15]

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [Lk10:19]

                     

   […] This is not the time to give up with unbelief. […] With Me, nothing is impossible nor is My arm shortened that it cannot save. Yes, you do believe I can do all things, so would you allow unbelief to come forward to command you now?

Warrior, through My Son, you have all authority. Prepare for another battle. FEAR NOT, for lo, I AM with you. You shall walk by faith and not by sight. […]  Continue to trust Me as you rest in Me, waiting for Me.

    Strength comes. Unbelief dies as faith triumphs! Let all things of the past go now and trust in Me, and as you rest, I shall strengthen you.
Now is not the time to give up in unbelief or quit in hopelessness.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. [Ps 27:14]

Do not look back. Know that you and all that concerns you is in MY most competent hands.

    I tell you the truth. Be wise and fill your lamp with oil. In Me, you shall find strength to overcome and you shall be given white garments. Your name will be found in the Book of Life and My Son Christ Jesus will confess you before Me and before My holy angels.

 When you are strengthened, go and strengthen (encourage) the brethren, and do not tire of speaking to those who are lost and to those held captive. Do not be concerned with the look upon the faces. My love in you must reach out to those in danger of damnation. The mercy I have shown towards you will grant you patience,

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
And He shall send Jesus Christ, who before was preached unto you [Acts 3:19, 20]

(Excerpt from – The Door of the Ark is About to Close – August 11, 2011)

Now write a word, for My very Spirit shall speak to you. Did you go astray?  Did you wander from the path? Did you slide backward, only to halt between two places, two opinions? Yet deep within, deep that calls unto deep, deep within, you shouted:

‘No!  I cannot halt between two opinions. I must repent and hope against hope that it is not too late; that though I am unworthy to be called by my Father’s name, perhaps He will let me serve in His house, the lowliest of the lowest, for I am not worthy to be treated as a son.’   

[…]  I come to you as the Father who ran to meet the prodigal son. I will remedy the situation just as I did with Abraham, just as I did with David. I accept your repentance and forgive you. 

I shall wash you clean with the precious Blood of the Lamb and exchange your filthy garments for a clean, white robe, just as I did for Joshua. Yes, I know the difference between the wheat and tares; the sheep and the goats. Yes, I know the difference between the wicked and a just man who falls seven times and rises back up. 

(NOTE: Abba speaks of His Son, Jesus/Yeshua--BP)

For just as David, your heart longs for the pure and the truth. You are willing to receive both correction and chastisement. Forgiveness is granted. Now walk. My word is sealed in your heart; the Blood of the Lamb has cleansed you. 

[…]  Now walk. Walk by faith and not by sight. Stand strong and bold, with your face set as a flint, determined to do My will, for My will is perfect in all that concerns you. Fear not. 

Be determined now not to compromise, not to make excuses or procrastinate, for now is the hour and the time.  Now walk in the spirit, for there is therefore now no condemnation to them who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.  (Rom 8:1)

Have I not told you?  Did I not forewarn long ago that the day comes when I shall separate the holy from the unholy, the clean from the unclean, and the precious from the vile? The day has arrived.

 

(NOTE: He is calling people to repentance, or be separated. BP)

Cling to the true Vine, o ye branches, for the tares and the dead branches shall be gathered up and burned. Destruction shall come from the north, yea; the east and the west shall know My judgment and the south shall cry out for mercy.

Return unto Me and stand before Me. Separate the precious from the vile and you shall be My mouth. Let those who wrongly judge, mock, and reject, return to you, but do not return to them.  

Though they hate (persecute) you, those who endure to the end shall be saved. I will make you as a fenced brass wall.  (You will be bold and unashamed. Abide and endure, yea again I say, endure to the end; obey as I direct.)  

Those who come against you will not prevail, for I am with you to save you and deliver you. I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible. [Jer 15: 19-21] 

The adversary caused you to doubt, even stumble, yet with My hand, I rescue you, for My arm is not shortened that it cannot save. Abide and endure to the end.  Selah

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  [Ps 91:1]  Thus it is written, thus it is true. 

You shall be hated of all men for My name’s sake, but he that endures to the end shall be saved. [Mat 10:22]

Our personal covenant stands; for I AM faithful.  When genuine repentance is with godly sorrow, I forgive. Hold fast and do all that I ask you to do, for the days are darker, and great destruction comes upon the nations. 

There will not be one nation left untouched. Be ye holy for I AM holy. Make your calling and election sure. Be determined to walk upon the narrow path that comes increasingly narrower.  

Remember the Israelites and those before you who chose to rebel against Me. I AM still the same, yesterday, today, and forever. This will keep you upon the right path if you truly do fear Me. 

(NOTE: fear-- honor, revere, awe, respect --BP) 

As Peter was once asked, I now ask you. Do you love Me? Consider carefully.  Choose wisely. Be faithful and obedient, for now is the time for that which I have foretold.

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 surely come, it will not tarry.  

[Hab 2:3]

Though you have wearied of waiting for all that you know that is coming; know this. It is about to come forth! Remember this and remember this well. After Noah finished building the Ark, he and all with him, waited in the Ark for seven days. 

Seven days more, the people had time to repent; to change their mind and turn from their wicked ways. Then I Myself shut the door, for the door that I shut, no man can open!

As in the days of Noah, so it is today. Heed My words. The door to the Ark is about to be shut.  Come and abide now; abide, abide! Delay will mean sure death. Hold fast to your faith and obey!  Selah

(Excerpt from Time to Do what You Delay in Doing – June 26, 2011

When all around you seems chaos, think hard upon times when I helped you in the past. Did you not feel I had left you? Did confusion try to overpower you? Did you not feel then that it was more than you could bear?

What did you do?  You pressed in, you sought Me and you found Me. I strengthened you to endure. I directed you to praise Me for the spirit of heaviness. I directed you to pray for your enemies and to pray without ceasing. I directed you to My word to strengthen you and to feed you.  I comforted you.

This is what you must remember, for I foretold it. […]

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about, seeking whom he may devour  [1Pet 5:8]

[…]  You do well to remember this:

I allow the tests, the trying of your faith. I allow the trials and tribulations. Did I not warn you of the fire and the water? Did I not say that you will not be burned, nor will the waters overwhelm you?  Beware, lest you are filled with pride, or anger, or bitterness.  

Those who die to self will not give into temptation. Those who stay humble and seek My wisdom and direction will not be seduced or fall into pride about the good works they are doing, or allow division amongst those whom have stood by them in dark days, those whom I have ordained to be – those who are Mine. 

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,  [Eph 2:9; 2 Tim1:9]

I have orchestrated your life, as you surrendered to Me. You do well to remember that I AM Sovereign. 

(NOTE: He reminds me of His providence as well - BP)

My child, be guarded as you take your steps. Wait upon Me to be sure it is time to take a step at all. Wait upon Me to see if it is time for you to move out. Yea, deep within you will know, for I AM He who puts within you the wisdom when you seek truth. 

Wait upon My timing, but do not run ahead. More importantly, do not lag behind, for you know the darkness and you see the time. In your desire to do My will, be sure that you are not going on your own will.

Your faith is being sifted as wheat [a great shaking], just as Peter. I forewarned you. You may feel pain, anger, confusion, frustration - or you may feel justified, righteous - emotions of all kinds.  Beware of flesh. 

Do not surrender to the negative, yea, but neither be swallowed up in pride and self-righteousness. Be meek, be humble before Me. Surrender your life; lay it down and truly die to self.  

With great love, I correct.

In mercy, I discipline.

Lay it all down now.  

Quit saying, I'm not perfect. 

Quit saying, I'm struggling.

Quit saying, I can't right now because...

Quit finding excuses and reasons.

Trust in your Lord with all your heart and lean not to you own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Me and I shall direct your steps. [Prov 3:5, 6]

How can I direct your steps if you will not obey or justify your reasons to delay? What of habitual sin?  Shall I let you go on in your ways, if I did not allow the Israelites in days of old to go on in their ways?  Have I not shown you mercy?  Have I not been longsuffering?  

I will break the chains of bondage when you cry out to Me and trust in Me. Be careful and guard yourself against any sin of presumption. I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Focus on My Son, Y'shua (Jesus) and the end result. Pick up your cross, My child - death is not forever. There is a resurrection that comes after death. Be found WORTHY of Me and let Me prove that I can trust you. 

I am working, not you. Do not look at what you are doing. Look at what I shall do when you truly die to self. Give thanks. It is almost time! Do you not know and do you not say... it shall come suddenly. 

Yea, so it shall. Do not be caught off-guard. Do not delay any longer nor continue on with excuses or reasons.  

Babylon shall fall and the harlot will fall with it. Come out from amongst them.  You are not their Savior; My Son Jesus (Y'shua) is the Savior. (Again, I say) Do not look at what you are doing; look at what I shall do when you truly die to self.

 I speak once, yea twice, but man perceives it not. [Job 33:14]

Press through and onward!  It is almost time for you to see it in the natural. Have joy in your sorrowing. Trust Me in the fire and water, for I will bring you through.   Yea, I am with you. Great tribulation soon begins. Lay down your life now, for you have asked that you be considered worthy to escape that which is coming.

My grace is with you.

There is hope in your despair.

Have faith to do.

Have faith to move.

Love Me enough to obey.

Trust Me enough to do.

Know that I am with you...
As you obey...
As you lay down your life...
As you trust in Me.

Selah

(Excerpt from – The Vision Approaches – Be Strengthened – Dec 7, 2011

Do not weary now; do not give up! That which you have waited so long for is soon upon you. 

[…]Did I not warn you that many (false teachers) false Christs and false prophets have gone into the world, deceiving many – deceiving, if it were possible, even the very elect?

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. [Mat 24:24, 25]

The operative word is ‘if’. IF it were possible – it will not be possible if you spend intimate time with Me. Read the word. Get it down deep within your spirit. Listen and obey Me in all that I instruct you to do.

[…] That which must come will soon manifest. War will no longer be a rumor and great tribulation will fall upon all the nations of the world. Now is not the time to give up. If you are weary, come to Me and I will strengthen you. Now is not the time to doubt or give up hope.

My people are urgently alert in their spirit. Prayers go up from their hearts and lips and reach My throne, for I hear their cries. Faint not. My ear is not deaf.  Stand fast a while longer, for soon you shall have the specific details and specific direction that you long for.

Many are not understanding why they have not been given clear direction yet.

It It is written: 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones [Prov 3:5-8]

I have been preparing the inside of the vessels. Yes, first the inside of the vessel, then the outside. There shall be vessels unto honor and vessels unto dishonor.

  

Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [Rom 9:21]

Prepare yourself, for I have not forgotten you. The preparation has not been easy on My people, but they have not given up. They have and are learning obedience through the things they suffered, just as My Son did. [Heb 5:8]

     The hour of visitation is soon upon the faithful, the children of obedience. They shall go forth, empowered by and filled with My Spirit, to do the greater works. Do you understand now why the enemy seeks to destroy your faith, to render you helpless and seemingly hopeless?  Faint not. Stand in faith. Be strong, yea, be strong!

This world is crying out for truth. Multitudes cry out for a miracle in their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Just as My Christ, Y’shua/Jesus of Nazareth did, the remnant will have My Spirit upon them (and in them), because I have anointed them to preach good tidings to the meek.

I will send them forth to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.  They shall proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of their God.

They will comfort all that mourn. Those that mourn [in Zion] shall be given beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, that which I have planted.

My people, the remnant, shall build the old wastes.  They shall raise up the former desolations and repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.  [Is 61:1-4]

Yea, I shall deliver, save, heal and restore.Call forth restoration!

But this is a people robbed and spoiled; for they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil, and none say, Restore.  [Is 42:22]

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, says the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after. [Jer 30:17]

Only by My Spirit will you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, for My Spirit will quicken the word within you. Yes, many of My people are weary, having lost heart, yet I say, Come close to Me and wait upon Me awhile longer.

You shall rise up with wings as eagles.  You shall run and not grow weary; you shall walk and not faint. [Is 40:31]  I shall strengthen you.

Gird up your loins like a man.  Wait upon Me; again I say, I shall strengthen you.

If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein you trusted, they wearied thee, then how will you do in the swelling of the Jordan? [Jer12:5] 

The enemy has his armies in the spiritual, from the foot soldiers to the princes (principalities and powers), and he is raising up his ‘remnant’, his earthly armies.  Yea, he counterfeits all that he sees Me doing, for I am gathering My remnant, and gathering My armies.

Lean on Me. Walk by faith, not by sight.  Keep on the full armor, so that you will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil – so that you will may withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Above all, take up the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [see Eph 6]

I AM the LORD of the battle. Learn to not look at the circumstances, as hard as it is. Trust Me. Is My arm shortened that it cannot save, or My ear heavy, that it cannot hear? [Is 59:1]

Cast your cares upon Me, for I care for you. [1Pet 5:7] Enter into My gates with thanksgiving and into My courts with praise [Ps 100:4].  A broken and contrite heart I do not despise. [Ps 51:17]  If I am for you, who can be against? [Rom8:31]

Daniel forewarned that in the last days, there would be a wearing down of the saints. [Dan 7:25] The wearing down has only just begun. Gird up your loins; set your face as a flint.  

Overcome (by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony) - greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world [1Jn4:4]

My remnant is scattered throughout the world. In a world of seven billion, My remnant is in the millions. Think upon Elijah who wearied and ran far to sit under the juniper tree when Jezebel threatened to kill him. He had been warring all along against Jezebel and her false prophets, yet he wearied.

It was there, under the juniper tree, that I strengthened him and instructed him.  He had felt all alone, yet I assured him that there were still 7,000 prophets of Mine that had not bowed their knee to Baal. [1Kings 19:18]

Indeed, I AM gathering My armies, yet the enemy is gathering his army also.  He has selected his remnant, those who will be loyal to him.  The battles continue and shall escalate.  

Rest in Me and I shall strengthen you. Every soldier grows weary of the battle. Rest is imperative, in order to be strong enough to enter another battle of the long war. 

The strongest onslaught is just before the victory.

Hold fast to your hope in Me. The time of your vision is upon you. Wait upon Me, for surely, it shall be right on time.

There is an open door, which you can already see through. Take authority. Ancient spirits (familiar, unclean, seducing et al) fight you. I will rebuild the ancient ruins. I will rebuild all that was destroyed and I will restore the long devastated waste places that the enemy left behind. I will restore the years the locusts ate. Trust Me just a little while longer, for surely and truly, I have not forgotten you.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. [Joel 2:25]

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 surely come, it will not tarry. [Hab 2:3]

Rain fire is coming... RAIN FIRE shall fall...

Whether it be war or whether it be of the elements; concern not yourself. Cling to the Vine... hear and obey and surely I shall direct your steps.

NOW is the time; NOW is the day of salvation. Do you hear? Do you hear the sound of the shofar? Come, rise up and go forth at My command. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Fear not – simply TRUST.

There is a time and season for everything under the sun. This is your time. This is your season! Be patient – wait.

Lo, I say to thee, Look up, look up... look up! for thy redemption draws nigh.

And Samuel said, Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken (listen) than the fat of rams. [2Sam 15:22]

for His glory alone alone
