There’s a Time to Let Go!

Those who love The LORD with all their heart, have counted the cost, having picked up their cross to follow Him!

Those who love The LORD with all their heart, have counted the cost, having picked up their cross to follow Him.

The chasm has become much deeper and further apart yet one can see with greater clarity from a far distance those whom you labored over, investing your love, determination and time; choking back the tears and grief at the revelation of seeing the cost of their unbelief.

Troubled by the thoughts as to why a person who met perfect love, could possibly turn away knowingly and willingly in such a final stroke, as one who would sign a final testament note.

To finally comprehend and see the overwhelming revelation of their understanding, that God won’t go against free will and free choice.

He gives the right to choose to each of us.  Each one will stand before God facing the ramifications of influence and their rights and choices they made.

He is a God of Justice, Mercy, and Judgment and as a just God, He is slow to anger and rich in mercy.

However, no man, no matter how eloquent, no matter how compassionate, no matter how desperately determined to stand in the gap for others can only go so far.  God won’t violate freedom of choice.

“Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God,”   Romans 11:22 KJV.

Those who are mature, know how to weigh things in the balance of God’s Word.  For we know Him both as Lion and the Lamb, Grace and Union, Thy Rod and Thy Staff.

“So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock.  Then I took two staffs and one “Grace” or Favor and the other “Union”, and I pastured the flock,”   Zechariah 11:7 NIV.

Free will and free choice trumps all interventions.  God will not intervene once that choice is made.

God gave us the gift of free will and free choice and God will not interfere by standing in the way of those God given choices.

If God will not take away free will and free choice, who are we to think we can make them choose?

Rizpah stood in the gap for her dead sons and desperately kept the buzzards away, but her sons were still dead.  There is a time to let go,  (2 Samuel 21:10)

“And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before The LORD.  And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?  Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?  That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”  Genesis 18:22-25 KJV.

Shall not the judge of the whole earth do right?

Job offered burnt offerings for each of his children to be sure that if his children violated, sinned, or cursed God in their hearts, that Job was motivated by fear by getting involved in making sure his adult children had been covered by sacrificing.  Job said, “The thing I greatly feared came upon me.”

There is a time to let go.  It isn’t easy, but we love dearly and have agonized over those who have clearly turned away from God, and it is hard, and often a process to totally release them into the hands of God.

A lot of times we get in the way of the hand of God seeking to work on those we love, and as long as we fight our battles, God cannot.

We cannot be responsible for others even those in our own lives and family that we labor over intensely.

Yes, we pray and labor intensely seeking God to forgive them, but there comes a time that it must come from within and it must be their decision.

It is agonizing to slowly watch those we have closely known, to choose to follow the wide way that leads to destruction.  There is a time to let go.

“And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually,”   Job 1:5 KJV.

“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came,”   Job 3:25-26 KJV.

Spontaneous Prophecy

For The Glory of The LORD shall be revealed.  All flesh shall see it together for the mouth of The LORD hath spoken it.

Wow!  What a continuation and confirmation in clarity as You are forming letters into code, expressing revelation that can only be seen, told or caught, describing at best only in human terms, but natural and divine doth dwell within the high stakes race to the finish line.

For The Glory of The LORD shall be revealed.  All flesh shall see it together for the mouth of The LORD hath spoken it.

We shall be known as we are known by The LORD.  For limitations are in minuscule seconds now compared to former time and space, for God’s beloved having been hit from every angle imaginable are being pressed into a higher state of mind and spirit without limiting gates.

So, this corruptible life continues refining in unending pressing towards the goal of our high calling.

By keeping this mortal life at bay, we strive for the mastery as this world holds no other key.

The more we are pressed, we rise in victory giving great glory to the Master who conducts the greatest symphony of all time, calling for the invitation of the marriage supper of the Lamb.

The Church triumphant shall rise and shine for her light has come and the glory of The LORD has risen upon her!

For those who are caught up in this season and dimension can only identify and be expressed as a leap of destiny within this final quest.

Not all can understand the delectable light shining bright bringing an unveiling of things into His marvelous light.

These have held from times and times ago for such a day that we could have never known!  As immeasurable quaking and shaking continue, not simply a shaking as many have spoken in cliché for we are being positioned for a divine explosion sitting on the powder keg apex in time.

Such epic transformations and proportions that those of this world could never understand or know.

For there has been a true line drawn in the spiritual sand and many are falling clearly away as stated in shocking terminology, rejecting the only way for their soul’s redemption yet in hardened state they turn away.

As Samuel was rebuked for grieving too long for King Saul, so too we must not linger long with those who made their free will final call.

Even as Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt, she belonged to another by her decision.  By their fruits you shall fully know them.

As for God’s elect, these are being cycled continually being set free of many strings and chains.  For it is God Almighty getting ready to showcase an amazing display of His final curtain call.

To those whom have been amazingly tried, tested and found true whom the world cannot fathom, these are God Almighty’s witnesses, reserved for these monumental events!

Regardless of the bait and traps set, onward we go and upward with no thought for tomorrow for we counted it all for the call.

The Old Frequency

“You have gone as far as you can go in your current state!  I AM releasing Great and New Expectation, a New and Living Way!  Receive it My beloved!”

For many of you have measured yourselves by past victories.

There are those who have been attempting to stand for “what worked in the past” of the old frequency.  Yet your experience and expectations have clearly felt very detached in this season.

Accordingly, we thought it would always remain the same; same friends, ministry groups and for some, the depth of our perceived pain and loss.

Yes, we took a deep hit on our heart and soul.  We never thought this could happen by those who pledge their undying love.

We had high expectations that people we love would always remain, yet we have watched them go one by one.

However, we are God’s creation, and He has brought us to the kingdom for such a time as this.  Beloved, God always has a ram in the bush.  Never doubt it!

I see many betrayals, and many receiving rejections, spiritual abuse, discouragement and many things that have kept you in a very limited stride are being severed off.

You are being enlightened as you run the race with patience; in a more stream lined effect.  God is lighting your load and skimming off everything from this last season so that you shall obtain the benefits.

“Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that The LORD God might dwell among them.  Blessed be The LORD, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah,”    Psalm 68:18-19 KJV.

God knows the many upheavals you have endured.  Yet His message will come across even when we have no idea at that moment!

However, these things must come, because The LORD is enlarging your heart that you may run the way of His commands!

God is enlarging our territory physically, in your soul and your spirit. In Your World!  The former desolations cannot come to you as you are not to remain with all men.

We all have seasons, and that includes that God can move us wherever He wants us to be.

God is fine tuning us because even now when you plug into the old frequency, you hear static.

However, I see that The LORD is bringing you into His frequency of sound and alignment.  God is closing old doors of familiarity where we were comfortable and in having all our net-work of connections.

God is doing a shifting and aligning as we yield to the new beginning in various ways and avenues.

For some it has been excruciating painful to have to watch people we love to go through this process but it must be mastered.  Before we can ever be ready to handle more, God must handle you!

Many have felt no validity in their spiritual life, but The LORD is opening brand new doors of opportunity and expectancy.

We must understand that it isn’t that we are losing so many friends, He is making new routes to all the highway and byways.

Beloved of God, the facts are that He is shifting and there will be new friends, sisters and brothers are coming and waiting to hear what you will say!

God is shifting us into a new neutral gear that will cause us to coast for a season, but this coasting although it seems like a waste, is actually preparing us ahead to carry weightier words, exploits and weightier explosive manifestations of God’s glory.

But why?  Souls for the Kingdom!

“So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
And The LORD said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”
   Luke 14:21-28 KJV.

Just as things began to dry up at the brook Cherith and the ravens came with no other meat.  God gave the prophet a new word to go…

It is in the times when we think we have nothing left to offer, and we want to call it quits that God gives us the added benefits!  This is the time he sends us a new and living way.

Our flesh is screaming out wanting to conform with what was and had been acceptable!

To those we once shared the communion with, identifying with the blood and body of Christ, and to wash each other’s feet, we are to identify with each of these feet who bring good news.

With man we will never reach perfection this side of heaven.  However, there are those whom are so close in intimacy with The LORD.

After we bear our souls that make us feel vulnerable, detached, we will learn over and over that resistance and struggle are from birth till death.

The struggle is on!  It is on daily, every week, month, and year and if we never had the struggle we would never grow, never change and get the strength that comes from resistance!

“You have gone as far as you can go in your current state!  I AM releasing Great and New Expectation, a New and Living Way!  Receive it My beloved!”

Lift Up Your Head O Ye Gates!

“Soon I will uncover the hidden ones whose minds and souls are fixed upon My Will and the establishment of My covenant in the earth.”

“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in,”    Psalms 24:7 KJV.

I speak especially to those who are and have been hidden away for some time.

To those who have undergone unmanageable and unspeakable odds, yet remained faithful even while being hidden, while they have suffered alone in silence, having done so during times of great unbelief, doubt and insecurity.

Their seeming defeat of heart, was due to the obstacles and events surrounding their lives.

Due to their utter disappointment and seeming failure, these have resigned themselves to just maintain and remain where they are, thinking this is as good as it gets.

Those who succumbed to defeat, are thinking they had missed God.  Those in shame of themselves, have finally laid down their precious gift and calling, thinking they must have reneged and missed their time in God.

Thus says The LORD your God, “Although My Spirit is hidden from the establishment of man; though your existence seems futile and vain, I AM erecting a sure house on a sure foundation that shall surely stand.

For on no other foundation can anything be built to last.  For unless I build the house, you labor in vain and it won’t stand.

Yea, when the Father of the prodigal saw his son afar off, he ran to meet him!  Beloved I AM for you and running to you for I accept you!

Come HOME and come as you are and let Me cover your shame and guilt and give you peace for great pain!

Your beginnings may seem insignificant in your minds, but I AM working a much greater plan in your heart and life than you could ever fathom.

The work I complete is that of MY IMAGE, not your image.  No other image shall stand but that of My Son.  For it is Christ in you, the hope of glory!

Even all of your wanderings are recorded in My Book.  I indeed do a new thing even through times of lack, loss and giving up in hopelessness.

You think too shallow for I AM at work even in your lowest times of defeat, for until you learn the lessons of defeat you cannot be elevated to help those who are defeated and have given up.

I AM at work in you even when you don’t feel a thing.  I AM at work in your life in the midst of trouble and tribulations for you bring great glory to My Name, when you speak My Word and live My Word even in the midst of death you shall bring great glory to My name!

I lifted up My eyes and declared, “Behold the fruitful place is the wilderness and the barren land.”

The wild and barren lands have always been the best locations for My teachings.  Was it not said, “Child, you shall go before My Face to prepare My Ways?”

For it is in the deserts and wilderness that you grow strong in My image, nature and character.

Preach in the wilderness!  For in that day, you shall show up and not delay, you won’t be behind in My plan and timing for I AM watching over My Word in your lives to perform it.

It will surely come to pass.  Don’t despise small beginnings, for these lessons are part of your foundation structure that will bring stability in your lives and to the corporate body.

I prepare you on the backside of the mountain.  I prepare you in the cave of the mountain.  I prepare you on the top of the mountain.

I prepare you at the bottom of the mountain, as a shepherd cares for the flock, so I care for you.

I have invested much into your lives and that investment shall bring in great exponentially results.

I have gifted you with “Spiritual intelligence.”  I have opened your eyes to behold and pin point targets of darkness.

The weapons of destruction are released as you sound the trumpet and alert the warriors for warfare.  All hell itself struggles and gnashes their teeth to congregate and plot to break down and hinder those who hear My voice and plan.

All of hell itself congregates and plots to break those hidden seers.  The Spirit of Elijah was nourished in My presence by the brook, fed by ravens, sent by Me to break the enemies’ plots.

What is whispered in secret, a little bird reports to others.  What is planned in the very depths of hell is exposed by My Spirit.

I myself shall utter the secrets of darkness and I shall destroy the threats and silence those secrets of darkness by becoming light.

I have kept you hidden and preserved, even as the dragon came to devour the woman with the child, the child was caught up!

The earth came to the aide of the woman by opening up and swallowing the flood.  I promoted the woman and gave her great wings and she flew away from the presence of the dragon into the wilderness, a place prepared by Me says your God.

Yea, to a place of “season.”  The season of rest and recovery, a season of healing, for the advancement of My goal.

Beloved be fortified and become strong again!  You shall not lack any information on that day as you allow Me to prepare you well.

Rejoice!  For your LORD shall do valiantly, for I AM calling you back to your first love fervor.

Never has there been a time of deep victory without deep fervor in desperation in intimacy of My presence and warfare,” says The LORD.

“Soon I will uncover the hidden ones whose minds and souls are fixed upon My Will and the establishment of My covenant in the earth.

These are those who have been prepared so well they won’t fail Me says your God, for I shall go before them in the Spirit of Elijah as they have heard My voice and answered My call.

For I will not forsake them,” says The LORD of Hosts!
