It’s
time…warning
Tekiah
(tuh-kee-ah)
– This is a long blast on the shofar. In the Bible, it is as an order to come
to a place, or a summons to assemble. This long note was blown for the
coronation of a king, but also to announce the sovereignty of God (Rosh Hashanah).
It is said that it is a time for the heart to be
searched and a time to forsake that which is not of God. It is a time to listen
to YHWH (God). This requires entering
into His presence, in humility.
It’s
time…
Shevarim
(shih-vah-reem)
– This is three short notes. Shevarim means “breaks” or “fractures” –
the sound is indicative of pain and brokenness that we carry inside our hearts,
but also the pain we have inflicted upon the hearts and lives of others. There
is a grieving, a sorrow for our wrongs.
Our flesh resists confession, yet we must let go of our pride, rebellion, sorrow, shame
and grief. That is where the breaking apart begins, the “resistance” fractures under the
pressure of fear of the Lord, brokenness and humility. The Shevarim is the sound
of breaking apart (torn – letting go), the pain of fractures – it’s a sound of weeping, crying. It is a call to repentance.
It’s
time…
Shevarim
T’ruah (tih-roo-ahh) – This blast contains a series of
several, short rapid blasts (usually nine
or ten). It is as a shattering,
the opening of flood gates, the confessing and letting go of sins overwhelms us.
There is a travailing as pain goes forth.
It is a call to humility, repentance and
obedience.
It can be an
urgent alarm; a call to awaken from spiritual slumber; a time to rise up.
It’s
time…
Tekiah
gedolah (tuh-kee-ah, gah-doe-lah) – This is a long, drawn-out
blast (as long as possible). It must be a time of sincere repentance. The
relief of forgiveness…mercy is granted; healing takes place. Repentance has
occurred, a turning away from sinfulness.
Forgiven by Messiah, spiritually
cleansed; completeness in Christ Jesus (Yeshua
Messiah), washed by His blood.
It is
a call to holiness. It is a triumphant blast of victory!
The
Righteous King is Calling
The first shofar blast I heard was to point to Jesus the
Christ (Yeshua the Messiah). He is
calling forth His people to seek Him,
to lay aside all interruptions, to delegate a time to come before Him and to
wait in His holy and pure presence. He
calls forth a time of fasting, praying and weeping.
Blow
the trumpet
in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: [Joel
2:16]
The second blasts of the shofar sounded. There is a
call to rise up! Awaken from spiritual slumber for the hour is late! It's an alarm - a warning (not sure about what yet), but He is calling for many of His people to wake up, then arise! He wants us awake, standing and alert for something!
In the parable of the wise virgins, all of them had
fallen asleep. Such is the way of God’s people. The Word and the Spirit go together. One does
not exist without the other. The oil represents the Holy Spirit, and the wick is
the Word.
This is an entire teaching in itself, but a refresher
helps me as well. If you have ever had
an oil lamp, you learn that the wick burns best when cut to a sharp point in
the center of the wick. Then, in order to burn properly, the wick is soaked in
oil to burn evenly.
If the wick is turned up too high, the brightness of
the light will fade because it smokes and clouds the glass chimney. It also
blackens walls over time. I found this out the hard way when I was gifted two
oil lamps, but had no instructions.
I did not know the wick had to be soaked in oil all the
way, just the part that was curled up in the oil. What a lesson! A sister in
Christ from South Africa, Judith Raine Forsyth, wrote a superb piece on the
parable. In fact, she even described what I mentioned above to a tee, as I had
no idea what to do with oil lamps outside of putting oil in them, and lighting
the wick.
What a horrible time I had at first. The wick was dry,
it was not trimmed and I could not understand what I could possibly be doing
wrong. After all, how hard could it be to put oil in a lamp and light it? Yes
indeed, I learned the hard way.
Yeshua is the one who told His disciples the parable of
the ten virgins, five were wise and five were foolish. He wanted the disciples
to understand the importance of the lesson, especially since He was the Word
that came in the flesh, filled with the Holy Spirit.
So, instead of getting lost on this lesson, please read
Judith’s well-written article on: truthimmutable.com
Please keep in mind that my message here is about the open
visions and the shofar sounding. Part of the lesson is about God’s people awakening
from a spirit of slumber.
The ten virgins fell asleep. Find out why five were
prepared, and five were not in Judith’s article. I can assure you that it is
not what we are taught from the pulpit.
Even the three apostles, the inner circle, the close
friends of Yeshua, Peter, John and James, all fell asleep instead of praying
when He went into the Garden of Gethsemane and travailed. Twice Jesus/Yeshua returned to them and asked
Peter, could he not watch and pray one hour?
The third time Messiah returned to them, He said: Rise
up, let us go; lo, he that
betrays me is at hand. [Mk 14:422] There is a call gone out now to rise up! Awaken from spiritual
slumber for the hour is late!
The next rapid, quick blasts on the shofar sounded. It
is a call
to repentance, to brokenness, a crushing of the soul and spirit…it is
to bring forth forgiveness and then healing. Few of God’s people see or know
that anything needs to be purged from within; or find it difficult to admit; few
check to see if their fear of the Lord is taught by the precept of men. [is
29:13]
Therefore
also now, says the Lord, turn you even to Me with all your heart, and with
fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your
garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent him of the evil. [Joel
2:12-13]
Let the Holy Spirit lead you through the word of God
and teach you about the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord cannot be
attained by obeying the commandment of men to “fear God”. When we seek God and
come into His presence, our flesh trembles at his holiness and purity.
If
My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray,
and seek My face, and turn
from their wicked ways; then I will
hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now My eyes shall be
open, and My ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. [2Chron
7:14, 15]
As we surrender wholeheartedly, our flesh realizes its
fallen state and lies prostrate in absolute reverence, awe, admiration and
honour, as we come into his love, mercy and grace. In genuine repentance, our
heart will be torn and we will abhor any sin found in us.
And
rend your heart and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He
is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
Let
the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Your people, O
Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach that the heathen should rule over
them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
[Joel 2:13, 16]
We will weep and mourn over our shortcomings, our
failures, trespasses and sins, both ours and that of others, as we tremble with
the fear of God, broken and laid bare before Him, fully aware of His
righteousness, judgment and justice. All of us, even the wise virgins, though
we keep our lamps burning, we too fall asleep.
If we are not careful,
we can all become careless. Only the Holy Spirit can show each individual the
reality of their state. We plan our schedules,
meetings and functions. We labour in the
soils of work, only to realize it is an endless chore.
We plan our trips, whether for mission or pleasure; we
relax with our hobbies, and with our entertainments, and with our friends.
Distractions and busyness occupy our time. These all rob us of our time with family and
friends, yes, perhaps so, worse yet, it robs us of our time waiting upon the
Lord. It was last year, several months back, that the Lord warned of
distractions. Let us be on guard.
We labour to shine the light amongst men, but fail to fill
ourselves up again with the sacrifice of prayer, mourning and time in the
presence of the Lord. Brethren, we cannot just agree to this, fully understanding,
and then become busy again. Don’t worry. I have been guilty of this myself, but
Abba is faithful to correct and discipline His children.
We are in such a dark time that indeed, the Lord is
calling out to us through many vessels. We must purpose to set specific time
aside. Fast and pray about it, if so led. Seek God’s will for you, not what man
(woman) says, for we all have
opinions, but only God will give you
proper direction as you trust in Him. [Prov3:5, 6]
“Our master tarries…” we do sigh. “The Bridegroom is taking too long on His
return…”we lament.
Yet, what agape love, too great to comprehend, then
takes the crushing weight of guilt, shame and condemnation and removes it all by
the healing power of forgiveness. His purity, majesty and glory overtake the shattered
heart of the repentant sinner, cloaking it in renewed confidence and hope.
It’s
time…
We will rise up and go forth in faith, in the fear of
the Lord, now… knowing His majesty, purity, perfection, His Sovereignty and His
matchless power. He is the God of judgment and justice, who remembers mercy in
His judgments.
These things cannot be taught by men, but can only be taught by
the Spirit of the living God, as we come before Him with a broken and contrite
heart, coming to know the beauty of the close encounter in the very presence of
the holy Creator.
How have we fallen into a spiritual slumber? Or how,
like Yeshua’s faithful apostles who loved him, have we too fallen asleep in the
hour that He told us to ‘watch and pray’?
It’s
time…
Awake, arise, repent! Our King is fast approaching; in
His presence is forgiveness and healing. In His presence, we come to know the
Spirit of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, might and fear of the
Lord. [Rev 1:4; Is 11:2] By His Spirit we are strengthened, so we may endure to
the end.
In times past (biblical
times), the shofar announced a Jubilee, every 50 years, which was a time of
debt cancellation, a time when land that was sold or lost due to bankruptcy or
an inability to pay the full amount, and those who were sold into slavery, were freed/redeemed.
[Lev 25:10-13]
And
you shall hallow (make holy) the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty
throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants there off: it shall be a
jubilee to you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, an you
shall return every man unto his family. [vs 10]
For some, this (2020)
is your 50th year of being held captive by the adversary, and the
Lord is declaring your liberation! (Apparently
Jubilee is not celebrated anymore, according to some, but the Holy Spirit will
let you know…because Yeshua came to set the captives free.)
Your dream, your vision, your promises are about to
manifest – it is not dead. “Lazarus” is about to be “called forth”.
“Joseph” is about to be called into Pharaoh’s court.
This is NOT the time to give up.
There is a birthing taking place – birth crowning is happening in the spiritual
realm…push through the pain; push through the desperation for it to be over;
push through to victory! Stay humble; stay close to God through Jesus.
We have to remember, that God’s timing is not our
timing. He created the space/time continuum, but He is outside of it. We cannot
comprehend how 1000 years is as a mere day to Him. Why do you take so long,
Lord? Well, for starters, it’s not long to Him…We have to learn patience and
that is one tough lesson! We are an impatient people.
Remember
the Warning against Divination (Witchcraft)
Do not be deceived by the false prophets who do not
warn the people to repent, to turn from all manner of evil. They do not warn
against following the imaginations of the heart if it leads them away from
Christ. They do not warn against the dangers of following the world or compromise.
The false prophets will tickle ears with empty
promises, promising peace and prosperity, yet not one will remind anyone of
Yeshua’s words that clearly state that he who saves (holds fast) to his life (fleshly
ways, carnal nature) will lose it, but he who loses it for Christ’s (Messiah’s) sake will find it. [Mat
16:25]
The clash of the kingdoms escalates. Remember…a
prophecy is given by the Holy Spirit, and not an angel speaking to the Holy
Spirit in you, and then you hear the message. Deception.
We cannot walk in sin (especially secret sin) and expect the blessings of God. If the Lord
has given you a promise or made a covenant, which is conditional, then, if you
do not do your part (in obedience),
He has not broken covenant (He will not),
but you will break it through disobedience.
Each individual will know because the God of truth will
reveal it to each individual personally. Is there something you are hanging
onto that you must let go of, either in word, thought or deed? You will know
yourself because the Holy Spirit has been convicting in order to bring us out
of the old ways, the ways of the world.
We cannot look back. We cannot hang onto any part of
the old life. There can be nothing we do against God’s word; no abominations,
no compromise, no being lukewarm. This world will not know true peace. The Word
of God forewarns of the danger.
Israel, Israel, do not believe any peace talks. Stay
away from peace treaties! The ambassador of peace will break his covenant; he
will break his covenant – he will deceive. [Is 33:7]
Do not listen to the false prophets who say to you ‘peace, peace, when there is no peace’! False prophets have always been around, even
before the time of Balaam the soothsayer. Lord, bring forth Your remnant from
the heart of Israel; raise up Your witnesses. Spare Your people, O Lord!
In the brokenness, there is a battle cry, a war cry - prepare
for battle. It was the sound of an alarm;
to awaken and rise up. The time
comes when we must go forth in spiritual battle.
Your hour has come to die to self. It is time for you to
go through in order to walk into the destiny appointed by God. It is the time
of travailing as a woman about to give birth.
I heard one man who calls himself a prophet, and who
can tell people things about themselves that there is no way he should know,
say that an angel stands beside him constantly, giving him information. He
claims the angel speaks through the Holy Spirit.
No, that is not scriptural. Yes, angels can be sent by
God and speak to us, but they will not take the place of the Holy Spirit. Jesus
did not say, “I will send an angel, and he will lead you into all truth.” NO! Beware of the spirit of divination.
Yeshua specifically said:
But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name,
He shall teach you all things, and bring all thing to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said to you. [Jn 14:26]
Howbeit
when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive
of Me, and shall show it unto you.
[Jn 16:13, 14]
The Holy Spirit
is the Comforter who will constantly be with a born-again child of God, leading
us, guiding us and speaking to us that which Yeshua shows Him…NOT an angel. Again, I say that
yes, the Lord absolutely can send an angel to us. I have seen it, but no angel
will ever be constantly telling us things AS the Holy Spirit.
That would be a ‘spirit guide’, a spirit of divination.
O the Lord warns us to try EVERY spirit to see if it is of God. Search
the Word, pray. The Holy Spirit WILL lead us into all truth. He is
faithful.
Satan, the counterfeiter, will send python – a spirit
of divination. Remember, we were warned against false prophets and false
teachers who would deceive many, and show great signs and lying wonders.
There is a call to awake. Time to awake and rise up!
A spirit of slumber has cloaked many.
The Lord God is stirring, shaking,
saying: It’s time! Now
awake and rise up! (or stay asleep and forfeit…) Our destinies await!
Come to the Lord in humility… searching your heart. Let
the Holy Spirit reveal all that is not of God. This is not done to condemn. There
is a difference between condemnation and conviction. A good Father corrects His
children in love; if not, then we are bastards.
A
call to repentance, a call to obedience, a call to holiness!
And
you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to children; My son,
despise not you the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked of
Him:
For
whom the Lord loves He chastens (disciplines, rebukes), and scourges every son whom He receives.
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom
the father chastens not. But if you are without chastisement, of which all are
partakers, then are you bastards and not son. [Heb 12:5-8] (It is for our
profit, our benefit, so that we might be partakers of His holiness. [vs 10])
A battle cry; spiritual warfare, but Yeshua is with us,
and has given us power and authority. We have backup, as Christ commands the
heavenly host of angels. We need not fear! The victory flag is waving!
It’s
time! It’s time! It’s time!
God’s
Wisdom
Remember the IC87
seen on the side of a passing truck?
Wisdom of YHWH:
IC = I see (rather obvious)
8
= new beginning (8 saved
alive Noah’s day; righteous fall seven times, arise again an 8th time; after seven days a
week, 8 begins new week; David was
the 8th son of Jesse –
chosen as king)
7
= completion (totality), divine perfection (God
rested on 7th day - creation
complete (perfection); Jacob served 7
years - twice; Namaan dip 7x in
Jordan - healed; Israelites marched around Jericho with 7 priests blowing 7 trumpets;
silver purified 7 times; 7 letters
to 7 churches (Revelation)
According to Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, 87 means
“exalted father”, the name given to
Abram, the original name of Abraham. Another place states it means: “everlasting Father” –
[Is 9:6]
Therefore, I see a new beginning in 2020
for those who have learned to wait in the presence of God to know His will.
That is completion (to be in God’s (YHWH) presence), doing his perfect will is divine perfection.
I believe it has to do with the completion (fulfillment/fruition) of many long-awaited personal
promises that God gave people that pertained to their destinies. For many,
these were conditional…covenants
are two-sided. God does His part, we do ours. The fulfillment will be to those
who have done their part (between them
and God only).
The number 87 pertains to Abraham – God made a covenant
with Abraham (IC87 – I see – covenant). It is confirmation of God’s personal
covenant. He is bringing it to fruition, to those who, as Abraham, have laid
all things precious and dear down on the altar (even your hopes and promises) to offer everything up to YHWH,
trusting in Him. Not easy…
It is “dying to self”; crucifying fleshly habits,
addictions, desires, appetites, various lusts. Just as Yeshua the Christ offered up His life, so we are told we
must lay ours down too. God will honour
that as surely as He honoured Abraham, as surely as He honoured His Son Yeshua.
We are not alone. The Holy Spirit helps us when we humbly tell God our strength
fails us; our flesh fights us. God knows but we need to confess our need for
Him!
Remember
Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever
shall lose his life shall preserve it. [Lk 17:32, 33]
What an example, Lot’s wife. She obediently fled the
city with her husband and daughters. She believed God’s message given through
the angels, but what? Her heart longed for the things she was leaving behind.
Her heart was divided; she did not want to “let go”. It caused her to ‘turn
back’ (look back), disobey…and it cost her – her life.
That is why Yeshua warns us to “remember Lot’s wife”,
before He warns that if we try to save our life, we will lose it and if we lose
it, we shall preserve it. What a powerful lesson! Rather frightening…
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. For rebellion (disobedience to God) is as the sin of witchcraft,
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
[1Sam 15:22, 23]
Let the following words not be said of any of us, who
call ourselves by His name…
Because
you have rejected the WORD of the LORD,
He has also rejected you from being king. [vs 23 – last sentence]
God’s people are called to wait, not wavering in faith
or giving up, which in itself is one of the most difficult things to do,
especially if it means waiting for a long period of time, even decades, as many
of our forerunners had to do.
Many give up or give in to unbelief, just before the
fulfillment of the promise. However, it involves obedience to something that is difficult for the flesh to
surrender. There is a cost – but it is worth it. Praise Yeshua! He is an ever
present help in trouble. He WILL strengthen us, when we humbly cry out to Him.
What a mighty and beautiful God we serve!
Prophetic
Word
I will end this portion of writing with a word given to
me in April 2009 and released over a year later in 2010. The glory to God
alone!
I Said, Lazarus Come Forth
April 5, 2009 [04/05/09] 11:11 am
First released this day:
July 10, 2010 [07.10.10] 2:12 Pm
The trying [testing] of your FAITH will come in many forms. Just as
Abraham, it will seem more than you can bear at times, but obedience came
through all you suffered. Now comes a trial to see if it is pure.
Yea, at times, you may wonder, ‘Did the Lord really ask that?’ Your flesh will bring doubt; Satan
would join in with adding fear…’What if
it wasn’t God, won’t I be a fool?’
I speak once, yea twice, but men perceive it not. Ask me to
confirm and I shall, for I tell you to test the spirit to see if it is of Me or
not. I will not go against My written word.
The Death that Matters
It is being [and has been] drilled into your spirit to seek Me in all things, no matter how
trivial. Come and STAY in My
presence, even if the flesh screams a hundred reasons why you can
leave. You will know when it is time to go about your business.
Think upon Jesus your Messiah in the Garden of Gethsemane. He left
only to see if His disciples were obeying Him to watch and pray, yet he
found them asleep three different
times. Disappointed, but not undaunted, He returned to cry out alone to
Me. His flesh resisted so profoundly; so great was His travail and earnest
that He sweat drops of blood.
Have you come to that point in My presence, where flesh cries out for release?
It is true that many of you have perspired as you travailed, but not to
the point of sweating blood.
Wait upon Me and your
flesh will be in awe in My holy presence. Perseverance has its
rewards.
Some of the hardest battles
that a warrior endures are those he fights alone.
To pick up your cross and die to self is one of those lonely
battles. Cry out to Me.
I will strengthen you to endure in the crucifying of fleshly
desires and sin. My resurrection power will not only restore you, but
indeed, I shall be glorified through you, as Christ Jesus takes His proper
place upon the throne of your heart and soul. Yes, Christ in you, the hope
of glory.
Who calls out for repentance,
warning of the second death?
Who tells the wicked to forsake their ‘way’ and the unrighteous
man his ‘thoughts’, saying, Turn to Me and I will have mercy on you; and to your God, for I will abundantly
pardon. [Is 55:7]
Prepare for Exodus
If you are hearing to seek
Me, then there is still time. Woe unto those who seek Me NOT,
whilst there is the call sounding loudly, for when judgment comes, they
shall fear, for they shall be found wanting. Their idols will not save
them.
The death angel will bypass only those with the blood of the Lamb
[Jesus the Christ and Messiah] – yea,
His holy blood upon the windows of
their soul and the doorposts of their heart. These are the sealed ones. (I understood ‘sealed in His Spirit…through Jesus’)
For the time of a new
exodus is here. Multitudes will begin exodus spiritually [to
come out of Egypt, Babylon (the world, man’s traditions, false doctrines)]
whilst many [but not all] will begin a physical
exodus.
How will you know what to do unless you seek Me, willing to obey. Diligently seek
Me while I may be found; call upon Me while I am near [Is 55:6]
Shake yourself from the
dust, arise and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds of your
neck, O captive daughter of Zion. [Is 52:2]
For thus says the Lord God,
My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian
oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, says the
Lord, that My people are taken away for nought [nothing]? They that rule
over them make them ‘to howl’; says the Lord; and My name continually every day
is blasphemed. [Is 52:4, 5]
My Voice Is Heard Through My People
Therefore My people shall
know My name; therefore they shall know in that day that I am He that does
speak: behold, it is I.
How beautiful upon the
mountain are the feet of he that brings good tidings; that publishes peace;
that brings good tidings of good; that publishes salvation; that says unto
Zion, Thy God reigns.
Your watchmen shall lift up
their voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to
eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
The Lord has made bare his
holy arm in the eyes of ‘ALL THE
NATIONS’: and all
the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. [Is 52:6-10]
(Emphasis mine)
God is a Spirit; and they
that worship him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. [Jn 4:24]
Prepare Ye
Listen carefully to Me and you will know in your spirit what is
required of you to do. For as with the old, so with the new, for I am the
same yesterday today and forever. [Heb 13:8]
First the inside of the cup must be cleaned,
then the outside [Mat 23:26]; first the beam must be removed
from your eye, then you can see clearly to remove the splinter in your
brother’s eye. [Mat 7:5]
Depart ye, depart ye, go
you out from there, touch no unclean thing, go ye out of the midst of her [Egypt
/Babylon], be ye clean that bear the vessels
of the Lord.
For you shall not go out
with haste, nor go by flight [flee], for the Lord will GO BEFORE YOU, and the God of
Israel will be your re-reward. [Is 56:8, 10-12] (You will go forth
confidently and calmly, for I guide those clearly whose heart is for Me; those
who hear.)
Behold My servant [Jesus the Messiah] shall deal prudently, He shall be exalted and extolled and held very
high.
So shall he sprinkle MANY NATIONS; the kings shall shut their mouths at Him; for THAT which had not been
told them ‘SHALL THEY SEE’ and THAT which they had not
heard, shall they consider. [read Isaiah chapter 52 vs
13, 15]
They Who Seek Me are Called Out Ones
The ways of Babylon have invaded My ekklesia; yea, but they who seek Me, (wait upon the Lord), them
shall I save for I have called them out, as they sought Me. My ekklesia,
My people will assemble in chosen places.
The righteous perish, and
no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that
the righteous is taken away from the EVIL
TO COME. [Is 57:1] … Cast ye up,
cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of My
people. (Israel) [vs 14]
For thus says the high and
lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, ‘I dwell in the high and
holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble
spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
For I will not contend forever,
neither will I be wroth, for the spirit
should fail before Me and the souls which I have made. I
have seen his ways and will heal him; I will lead him also and restore comforts
unto him and to his mourners. [Is 57:14-16]
Cry aloud, spare not, lift
up thy voice as a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the
house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek Me DAILY and delight to know My
ways, as a nation that did
righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of Me the
ordinances of JUSTICE: they take delight in approaching to God [Is 58:1-2]
Dare to Obey
Is this not a fast that I
have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and
to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to
deal your bread to the hungry, and you bring the poor that are cast out to your
house? When you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not
yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your light break
forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily, and your
righteousness shall go before thee, the GLORY
of THE LORD shall be your reward.
Then shall you call, and [I] the Lord shall answer and shall say, Here I AM. If
you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger
[pointing fingers] and speaking vanity,
and if you draw out your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul:
then shall your light rise in obscurity and your darkness be as the noonday
[Is 58: 6 -10]
And I, the Lord shall guide
you continually and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your
bones, and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of
water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of
thee shall build the old waste places, you shall raise up the FOUNDATIONS [Yhwh, the Rock - Christ
Jesus the cornerstone] of many
generations, and you shall be called, the repairer of the breach, The restorer
of paths to dwell in. [Is 58:11-14]
Turn to Me
Repent of all
that is not of Me, and delight in
seeking Me, so shall you call your walls Salvation; and your
gates Praise. I the Lord shall be to you an everlasting light, and I shall be your glory.
I say…Go through, go through
the gates, prepare ye the ways of the people, cast up, cast up the highway,
gather out stones, lift up a STANDARD for the people.
Behold the Lord has
proclaimed to the end of the world, Say you to the daughter of Zion: Behold,
thy salvation comes; behold His reward is with him and his work before
him. And they shall call them redeemed, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord and you shall be
called SOUGHT OUT, A city NOT FORSAKEN. [Is 62: 10-12]
Bring Forth
I have stayed with you through the false labour. Now is the time to bring forth.
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 and there
shall you be delivered, there the Lord shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies. [Micah
4:10]
Now also many NATIONS are gathered against you (Israel)
that say, Let her be defiled, and let our
eye look upon Zion.
But they know NOT the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they His counsel,
for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor [wheat
into the barn]
NOW is the time to bring
to fruition all that I have told you I would do. It is simply a matter of obedience
fulfilled. You know what has been required of you. Delay no
longer; thus I command you.
I will have a holy and set apart people, and through them, I shall
be glorified. That which I have told you is about to come forth…
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 shall surely come, it will not tarry. [Hab
2:3]
Jesus said unto her, Said I
not unto you that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
Then they took away the stone from the place
where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father (Abba), I thank You that You have heard Me. And
I knew that You hear Me always: but because of the people which stand by, I
said it, that they may believe that You have sent Me.
And when He thus had
spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about
with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose
him, and let him go. [Jn 11:40 –Jn 11:44]

(Note* - the above was my pseudonym from 2008 until
2012/13, when I was doing a lot of ghostwriting. Only editing was done in my
real name.)
[A ghostwriter is when a person is paid to write material but
another claims official authorship. The real author remains invisible or
unknown, hence the name “ghostwriter”.
I did much writing for Christians as a ghostwriter at no charge, but as service
to the King and to the glory of God.
And since it was for the glory of God, if any wanted to give
recognition to the ‘actual’ author, I chose a pseudonym. That way I would remain
unknown, so Christ would be glorified.]

As the hart (deer) pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after thee, O God. [Ps
42:1]
And I said, Oh that I had
wings like a dove! For then would I
fly away, and be at rest. [Ps 55:6]
Behold, I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless
as doves. [Mat
10:16]
for His glory alone
