Are We Broken Again?

The year 2021 is coming to a close, and The LORD is helping me understand certain events that will happen in our near future.

The year 2021 is coming to a close, and The LORD is helping me understand certain events that will happen in our near future.

There will continue to be a deeper decline into chaos and anarchy. God assures me that His true Voices will arise during great turmoil and upheavals, though their messages are not received yet.

However, one day they will be recognized by The Remnant and others who are truly seeking out those who are hearing the mind of Christ.

In the mixed mess of feeling literally like they are being tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men, God who is rich in His Mercy and Kindness will warn, direct, and even taking some by their hands and lead them out of false religious organizations.

However, there are those who have the seed of righteousness within them not yet developed, and in His Kindness and great Love, The LORD will provide an Exodus from the error of men’s ways, even as the angels led Lot out of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Because The LORD heard Abraham’s intercessions, so will many be led out due to the prayers of the Saints.

Truly The Remnant will find times of refreshing from God’s presence and from those who fellowship with one another, for it will literally be truly God’s Family.

Yes, there will be a great harvest of souls and wonderful events that will take place amid great upheavals that will prepare God’s People for times of war and great hardship.

It is not the time to fear these things as a true believer, but to realize God is preparing us to stand — no matter what!

The true Believer has nothing to fear, because we belong to God and heaven is our home! The last enemy — death — was defeated on The Cross!

The Remnant and those who hear and know his voice, must Fast and Pray and afflict our flesh to take it captive to do our spirit filled will. The devil is not our main opposition — our flesh is our main opposition.

Just like a wild horse must be bit, bridled, and broken, so too we must become usable for The Master. We must allow The LORD to break us of our selfish will. However, I want to take it a step further.

We pride ourselves in The Church as being grown, when we have been ingrown, and just like an ingrown toenail hurts and flares up, it makes it hard to walk. Just watch the limp…. and it will give you insight.

There are many who have become that way as Christians, who at one time were like those broken horses that were bit and bridled, and The LORD could ride us, and there was a time when He would release us from that bit and bridle, as He wanted us to be led, with His eye upon us.

But we have entered a New Day. A selfish Day when we don’t want to admit that we may have lost that Fire that we once had. Instead of allowing The LORD to release the bit and bridle, so we could be led by His Eye upon us, we find ourselves in a place where we have no order.

We find ourselves in pastures that are green and lush and fenced in enclosures. We have grazed and feasted within those borders — but now The LORD would like to take those horses once again and guide them with His Eye upon them.

But He has found that we have become rebellious and stubborn! We run from Him or run from Ministers who are trying to help us! We became prideful, thinking that we don’t need anyone to tell us anything.

Some of us have been like those horses in pastures and enclosed areas of peaceful easy feelings. But when The Master calls us or someone The Master has led to us, we rebel, and we smell the clover, and we smell the grasses, and all our needs are met.

There comes a time, that is so far spent, that we need to know this! It is not the devil that is our worst enemy, it’s our own selfish will, and rebellion, reverting to stubbornness.

We are living in a day and the hour is spent and it is time for each of us to take authority over our flesh for our flesh is like that horse it wants what it wants.

That horse forgot willingly, neglectfully, through ease and comfort, all the training it had and when The Master called us!

After being in the pasture for so long, we should be willing and obedient to run to the fence or the gate to recognize The Master, so that we are prepared for what’s ahead.

As long as we live on this earth, we will have a flesh body even as pilgrims and ambassadors we represent a different country in a different life than this earth. We must bring our body under subjection to The Holy Spirit.

There once was a day when we were truly in obedience to God, but now our flesh has gotten in the way and we as believers have been given the Power and Authority to bring our body under subjection to The Holy Ghost.

How?

How? We must yank ourselves, like that horse, and put a bit and bridle in our mouth and we must realize our flesh — it is not our friend.

If a horse doesn’t believe you’re in authority, it won’t obey you. But once you take the reins of your own flesh and yank those reins and make that body do what is right, you will remain rebellious.

We are three parts: spirit, soul, and body. Our spirit is eternal, so is our soul. Our soul is what makes us unique, it’s our personality, it’s who we are as a person, and it’s how we will be recognized in heaven.

The soul is what will differ from other people is our mind, the will, and the intellect of a person.

So, we find that our flesh will never be our friend! It will always be with you every day and as our enemy, we have got to be always aware that coddling our flesh and giving it leeway to do what it wants will conquer us instead of us conquering it.

Paul said, “I die daily.” What Paul meant was he died daily to the things of this world!

The things of this flesh are what cause compromise to the things of God and our flesh is not our friend!

So, we all must become aware that every day we get up and look in the mirror, we deal with the fallen body called the flesh! The flesh must be conquered daily or else it will lead us astray into sin and into the fallen nature.

So aggressively today, begin to see what you are doing daily! Repent, turn away from it so that you can rise out of the fleshly nature into the nature of the Spirit of God.

Being spirit filled is not a one-time deal! We are to be continually filled with The Holy Ghost daily. As we keep God first in prayer, worship, and study of The Holy Bible we will have the strength to bring our body under subjection.

Let it not be known or said that we had to be re-broken again, because we became wild with sin and our own selfish will.

If we started off right but ended up wrong. Now is the time to take the Authority you must make that flesh wake up and obey!

You yank those reins and command it to get up! You yank those reins again when that urge comes to want to overeat when you’re supposed to be fasting.

It is The Will of God that we take our flesh and make it ready to prepare for what’s coming. That doesn’t mean you’re the old gray mare that ain’t what she used to be!

No, you are a spirited, beautiful, and greatly loved steed of The LORD! Once again, He wants you to be available, so that He can release you from your confines so that you can run again with his eye upon you.

First yes, it feels like ‘ouch’, but we must thank The LORD this is not a demotion, but a promotion for a beautiful, brilliantly white flowing steed led by The LORD is beautiful to witness!

Do you think one can handle a spirited and wild untamed steed left to her fancy? I think she’s much more than The Master can handle! Do you think you can handle one like this?

However, in many more ways than one, I do believe the set time has come. Indeed, her seasoned time and the set time has come.

Indeed, she runs wild and free, with the winds she is kicking up as she whinnies away! There were many who dared to catch her!

However, she kept her head proudly in the air sniffing for every scent of danger, always aware!

Yet, she is always aware how she fares because in her heart she stays within sight at all times of the day and night. For many have tried to capture her, break her, and dared to mount her!

Her spirit hath broken many a back and bone and it will take a special man to get to know. Yet once she is nurtured and trust only becomes one with her and as she allows him to mount her then shall they become one with the winds…

“I will instruct the and teach the and the way that thou shalt go: being not as a horse or as a mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in a bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.” Psalm 32:8-9 KJV.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt

The LORD lived and knew people and learned to be a carpenter before His earthly ministry ever started.

The LORD lived and knew people and learned to be a carpenter before His earthly ministry ever started.

When He was thirty years old His Ministry began. He was familiar with the feelings we have and all of our infirmities.

Many people never speak about The Son of Man. Jesus experienced every temptation yet without sin.

Jesus knew what it meant to be human as we. Jesus identifies what it is like for us to be part of a personal and familiar family.

The majority did not receive him and His Calling and Purpose — even within his own brothers and sisters.

And something I failed to see in my study was…. where was Joseph? I always wondered about that.

When you are rejected and ignored this Christmas from family and friends, you must realize not all will accept you and they will speak against you.

The best thing you can do is to cast all your cares and family members and lay them on The Altar and give them to God. The best thing we can do is pray for them…. then release them.

Often times when people are too familiar with us, they remember all our mistakes and are sure to judge, because they think they know us.

Remember that Jesus (the Son of Man) too, was not well liked in his family and home town. You’re in good company beloved, and it was true with Jesus, as He couldn’t do many things there in his home town, because of those who knew him and rejected him in unbelief.

Jesus tried to reach his hometown, but the people were too familiar with Him, and He provoked a response that set their teeth on edge and they wanted to kill Him!

He tried to reach them, but the people wanted Him to do the same things He did elsewhere, and He said, “No prophet is ever welcomed in his hometown” and it made the people furious and drove him out to throw him off a cliff. (Luke 4:14-30)

That is contempt to the maximum. God wants us as well to realize we will also experience this in our hometowns and those who are too familiar.

Their plan to throw him down, Jesus simply walked away and escaped.

What made them so angry? Why did Jesus make a lot of people mad?

The people knew He was an apprentice of his father as carpenter, and they saw Him grow up and live, helping His father. So, He was very well known around town and He was ordinary, and His Greatness was kept hidden.

The people thought, “How dare He talk down to us!” When others are familiar with you, people begin to predict your behavior on past acts good or bad, and judge you and marginalize you.

Familiarity, causes a lack of respect and they dismiss and ignore you by their own opinions.

During this Christmas season, realize that you are in good company! If they did it to Jesus they will do it to you.

As you move on after this season, go to where you are accepted, go to wherever you are received and let the dust settle and release your peace everywhere you go and take dominion in the spirit realm, and silence the accuser and bless those you love and those who don’t love you, and forgive and do good and your Father in Heaven will see and honor you for your calm composure in The Name of Jesus!

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from there. And having come into His own region, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they are astonished and are saying, “From where came to this One this wisdom and these miraculous powers? Is this not the son of the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all His sisters with us? Then from where came to this One all these things?”
And they were offended at Him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in the hometown and in his own household.” And He did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.”
Matthew 13:53-58 KJV

You Have Been Aiming Too Low

The LORD says, “How far has The Church strayed from the fullness of My Word!.”

“You have been aiming too low, slow, and under the mere measurement of man in the prospects and the goals that I want to grant you in this hour.

Your mind and thought patterns are true but has kept you limited too, based on your past.

You must think way beyond everything you ever thought on prior. You cannot imagine what shall be revealed, and if you think on these things you will miss the new that I will do!

Remember ye not the days of old. Do not base any future outreach from times gone by. Do not continue to preserve your experiences like some granite stone for a burial memorial.

The living must live on! You cannot resurrect a remembrance. You have memories but the substance of those experiences is like a shadow that has passed over.

For a remembrance in stone is honored, but it cannot live on. You must move on! You must LIVE and not die and declare My Works!

You must Live and decree, declare, and establish all that I shall be within you. You cannot fathom, measure, or compare what shall come in this hour. You must move on with the Glory Cloud no matter what you hear, feel, or see!

The things of the past were there to teach and train you. What you carry is not the work of an organized religious house and organization!

The Sadducees and Pharisees were fully trained in their craft and it matters not what degree you had or have. For I take the foolish things of the world to confound the so called wise.

With all that men aspired to by learning, yet they could not see the only perfect one among them.

The one they studied about came in to the temple, taught, spoke, overturned tables of money changers, and finally I wept over Jerusalem calling the temple the house of desolation!

All the energy and status the religious had blinded them fully and everyone that listened and followed them were as bound and blind as they.

They made their law appealing by adding every type of religious loophole that religious men of the past based all things on past events.

The religious demanding perfection and enforcing God’s law, made the people hopeless with doubt and then I went without the temple.

Only one became the perfect sacrifice, the payment of all sin was purchased with My own blood and broken body.

You must understand that the same condition exists in the religious world today in the form of the many religions, ‘Christian’ religious Church Houses and corporate organizations.

How far has The Church strayed from the fullness of My Word!

Beloved, eyes have not seen nor ears have heard what I shall do for those who carry My Word of evangelism for souls to the ends of the earth and as they preach The Word, remarkable demonstrations will take place as signs and wonders will fill the place as they follow!”

“Do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I AM about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it?” Isaiah 43:18-9 AMP.

The First Family

God reminds us in His Word, of His Mercy and Grace when He heard the prayers of Abraham.

Beloved, I will never try to make light, my dear readers, of what you have gone through and been going through during this past year.

For many this year have endured. Simply put, enduring this past year we have gone through something that has forever changed our lives.

If we are blessed to stand around a table this year with families, friends, or hosts of others, that are without a meal, we must remember beloved — we are never alone.

If when we sit down and partake, may we silence ourselves and reflect on all the goodness that God has done and to say with a sincere heart of faith and prayer for all who have lost so much.

In vision I saw an ear, and The LORD said, “You have My ear!”

The chaos is off the charts, because when a nation forgets God, God forgets.

Is God done with America?

I keep hearing many doors slamming shut. We who have God’s ear, are we really interceding as Abraham interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah? (Read Genesis 18)

God reminds us in His Word, of His Mercy and Grace when He heard the prayers of Abraham.

What better time for us, who have The LORD’s Ear to seek His Mind and ask for an outpouring of His Spirit in the midst of chaos and calamity?

Many have laid down. one by one, each piece of armor and weapon, being hit with blow after blow, driven by strong twisting head winds of a heart ripped by discouragement. For Hope deferred makes a heart sick.

Not even realizing in your weariness, you have been set up for what is right. Thinking all was undone, you came apart at the seams and senses.

The LORD knows the destiny even when its apparently spinning off course. Your pilot is still on The Throne, for The LORD reminds you in your natural, your supernatural fights for the side of Light and Right with a brighter future!

For as evil reigns unrestrained in our streets, It all begins with the Church Triumphant, as we must repent, and then stand in the gap for this Nation.

Craft especially your prayers, as The Holy Ghost leads. The LORD will give you insight to the answers, to unraveling plots and schemes of the destructive works of chaos and complete demonic disorder.

God is not the author of confusion — but of peace. Stand and pray for the ravaging, looting, lawlessness, and pandemonium.

God, having seen such unpredictable behavior, commands with great sensitivity to the smallest minute detail, bringing in swift changes of order to the disorder. God is a God of Order!

Can God change His Mind and repent of His Decision?

God said,

“If My People who are called by MY Name would humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 1 Chronicles 7:14.

In the busiest season of the year, many — all over the world and especially in the USA this year — are having a very hard time in missing loved ones, and in feeling all-out attacks of depression and desolation.

I am not speaking of ‘the blues’, I am speaking of demonically inspired plans to keep you in a desolate state where you are.

In malls, as you walk along with screens blaring the sights and sounds of Christmases gone by, it is so easy with the things we hear and see, to be stressed out and distracted from our pure devotion we have with The LORD.

This is a time of true celebration of the virgin birth, yes! But with reflection on our own heart to see if we honor the virgin birth in a very humble way.

He came upon the scenes not with parades or great pomp and circumstance, but in a way, few could accept.

We rejoice in the birth of our Savior The LORD Jesus Christ! “He was born…” The meaning tends to become blurred with the traditions of the world.

Many of us know the tradition in our families, but there is a major change happening in the midst of great turmoil.

There is an emphasis of the humility of God in the form of our LORD Jesus Christ. He came for the atonement of our salvation, but his meaning is so much deeper, for He lived and died as we, yet without sin.

I marvel at His Lessons in life, in how He did things and how far “the so-called Church” has removed herself from it.

I will continue to rejoice, and I am thankful that The LORD Jesus was born into natural life, like how we were born, but He revealed how we could live a supernatural life, as He did.

He understands how people are, for He never committed Himself to man, for He knew the heart of man.

For those who are alone in this Christmas celebration, do you love Jesus? He became your first family!

The LORD lived and knew people before His earthly ministry ever started, when he was thirty.

He was familiar with the feeling of our infirmities. He knew what it meant to be part of a familiar family, of whom the majority did not receive Him, and He couldn’t do many things there in His home town, because of those who knew Him, and rejected him in unbelief.

More to come……

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from there. And having come into His own region, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they are astonished and are saying, “From where came to this One this wisdom and these miraculous powers? Is this not the son of the carpenter? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all His sisters with us? T hen from where came to this One all these things?” And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in the hometown and in his own household.” And He did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.” Matthew 13:53-58 KJV.

“But Jesus, for His part, did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people [and understood the superficiality and fickleness of human nature], and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts — in the very core of their being].” John 2:24-25 AMP
