Absolute Confidence & Closure

There’s a seriousness this hour, unlike anytime period in history and we’re part of it. People coming into the realization of exactly what the LORD is saying.

 

There is a seriousness of the hour.  Many feel it.  It is unlike anytime period in history, and we are part of that hour.  People coming into the realization of exactly what the LORD is saying.

Some of us are identifying with the path of the LORD and to the new people we have met, and those we have not met yet.

New things are coming, beloved, new methods and godly adventures in His presence for those who set their desire on him; such desire not known to many.  It isn’t the time to play Church but be The Church.

There are many changes, beloved.  It is time to prepare for the harvest and discipleship.

Having grieved over the revelation of friends who are now unwilling to go; sorrows filled our heart for those who were really not with us.

I saw with such clarity and felt what it must feel like when Jesus marveled with those of unbelief and those who rejected him.

You would think there would be absolute trust as when Jesus and his disciples spent three years together.  Isn’t it fair to say that being with Jesus should or would bring absolute assurance, trust and closure in our confidence of the faith?

These are the things that we hold so dear with our experiences.  Would we die for our faith?

The confidence of the disciples dwindled down when all at once, Jesus was taken from them destined for the passion.

Surely we would have undeniable faith in the LORD, being solid in our walk and to feel deep inside the betrayal of His own; for He also carried that with Him?

He was crucified and He felt the hopelessness and betrayal of Judas and of those who falsely charged Him as a criminal.

Jesus knew of Peter’s denial, and how a close follower can scatter away.  As Jesus was on His way to pay the ultimate price, His followers dispersed off the path of the number dwindling back.

Anyone who truly is sent, hasn’t very many who are close to them.  Although a hub, you find that your circle of whom you will really work with and trust, keeps getting smaller!

We must know those who labor among us.

Once we know God’s will and placement, do not deviate.  If there is a problem, we must work things out quickly.  For our time is coming to an end soon and we must work while it is day and help as many as the LORD sends.

If you are not sure where you belong, Jesus is giving every opportunity for people to say ‘no,’ and walk away, as He doesn’t want those to stay for people.  You stay for the opposite; to only stay if you choose to stay for Him.

I sense this strongly, that some of us have entered a point of no return.

This is no play.  I don’t know how to be more serious.  We each need to know it for ourselves.

Seek God for yourselves and get planted.  Let nothing uproot you ever again.

The Snare of the Fowler

I saw an eagle soaring way up high and as I watched, I noticed the eagle circling and finally diving down, headed to capture prey.

 

Vision:

I saw an eagle soaring way up high and as I watched, I noticed the eagle circling and finally diving down, headed to capture prey.

What the eagle didn’t know, was a plan was set in motion to capture that eagle.  There was set a snare of the fowler.

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler,”   Psalm 91:1-4 KJV.

The most dangerous place for eagles is if they are earth bound.  Eagles are meant to remain in the high places soaring and nesting in high mountain crags and only earth bound for prey briefly.  There is a danger for eagles though.

One of the main tactics to capture an eagle is to set a trap with a net covered by brush with appealing bait in the middle.  The net is hidden from view around the trap site.

We beloved are to be like the eagle!  We must come to understand the tactic of the enemy.  The enemies goal is to keep us earth bound because that is the most vulnerable state to be in.

Why?  We are to be like the eagle!  We are to mount up on wings as eagles, to soar on the wind currents of HIS Word and to see with vision the panoramic view the LORD gives us when we soar.

“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,”   Isaiah 40:31 KJV.

The enemy sets traps or snares of the fowler. His tactic is to catch men in his net.  The enemy plans way in advance as he covers the trap and net putting luring bait out for its banqueting.

However, what is happening behind the scenes is this, the enemy is really there for the believers enticement and destruction.

The secret of the fowler is that he adapts snares because he knows the eagle is well adaptable to knowing his bait; this is due to quickly adapting his snare to the condition of the eagle.

Believers!  The enemy knows our weak points.  Be well conditioned by God!

The enemy uses all sorts of decoys, deceit and craftiness to capture the bird.  Then once the eagle is caught, the enemy puts it in a cage for decoration to celebrate for all to gaze and revel like the Philistines did when they reveled at Samson’s capture,  (Judges 16:25 KJV).

The LORD wants us to know our enemies and their tactics.  Realize the enemy goes for the weak areas to entice and if we respond we might end up in a type of cage for all to see our mistakes and failures.

Vision:

I saw an eagle way up high, and then it came down to where it would circle, and I noticed this was no ordinary eagle.

The eagle looked like it was on fire!  The traps were set below by the enemy and they waited, yet this eagle looked extremely confident and had no doubts or fears.

The eagle swooped down at alarming speed and captured the prey and the net wrapped up, and it appeared they had caught the eagle, but this eagle was no ordinary eagle!

This eagle was on fire and it burnt up all the net that touched it and soon, with prey in claw, the eagle began to mount up again out of range of the enemy.

Beloved, this is but a healthy reminder to know your enemy and get prepared by spending quality time with the LORD through prayer, worship and HIS Word.

We are to be continually seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  By doing these things, it will prepare us for whatever comes.

We are not blind, but the enemy would like to damage your vision and destroy the things you do for God.

The enemy hates us and he is not playing games.  This is not the time to lay down your armour and weapons or to be lax in prayer and study of God’s Word.

If you find you are in such a place, put on some worship and begin to seek the LORD and watch how HE equips you to destroy the works of the devil!

“Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.  Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth,”   Psalm 124:6-8 KJV

“The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah,”   Psalm 140:5 KJV.

Our Love Affair We Share?

People are rising and coming towards your light.  Most of these come with ulterior motives.

People are rising and coming towards your light.  Most of these come with ulterior motives.

There are those who want to mirror themselves after you instead of looking into the perfect law of liberty.

Do not allow the focus to be on man and the process because there are no shortcuts to maturity and ministry.

“Pull away, pull away with Me!  Pull away from man and point them to Me,” says the Lord.

“Form boundaries, and let those understand how to respect those boundaries.  Don’t let anyone cross them.

To violate is disrespect; cover your brother’s nakedness so there is no violation of disrespect.  What happens in prayer stays in there.

No one wants to pay the due’s in time and heartache.  Yet they love the chief places among people and puffing up one another.  These are those who drain your reserves.

Let no man suck you dry.  Guard and give no place to selfish ambitions.  Rather reprove them!”

“The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise,”   Psalm 51:17 KJV.

“Jealousy is cruel.  It only seeks its own merits through you!  You are the target and once given a way in, will sabotage all your efforts.  Guard your heart for out of it comes the issues of life.

I AM found in the secret place wondering if you will choose this day to seek My face.

There is a heavy price paid for those who have chosen My Way.  Many are not willing to seek My face and develop a relationship. It is and has never been an easy route.

Beware of those that seek to use you up and cast you aside once their agenda is complete.  Beloved guard your heart, mind and time! Let no man disrespect our love affair we share….”  says the Lord.

“I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.  Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners,”   Song of Solomon chapter 6:3-4 KJV.

Course Corruption vs Course Correction

Come away and hide away in My presence and come unto Me.  As you seek Me you shall find Me as you seek Me with your whole heart.

 

“Come away and hide away in My presence and come unto Me.  As you seek Me you shall find Me as you seek Me with your whole heart.

You shall know the condition of man’s opinions and purposes.  It is never My intent that My voices to be led astray.

As you keep Me first I will manifest and confirm My Word to you first.  I AM a jealous God and watch and care for My anointed very closely.

You have chosen and proven that I can trust you and you don’t need mans approval.  However I shall provide it as a testimony to those who speak and judge My plan and My vessels.

I have sent apostles and prophets.  They are being placed back in My Church for My directions.  These are being sent in and are needed to take course corruption into course correction,”  says the LORD.

“….So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. A nd it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, art thou he that troubleth Israel?  And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.  Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.  So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophet together unto Mount Carmel.  And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions.  If the LORD be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.  And the people answered him not a word.  Then said Elijah unto the people. I, even i only remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men….”    1 Kings 18-22 KJV.

“…And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.  Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.  And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there….”   1 Kings 19:1-3 KJV.

When Jezebel heard what Elijah did she sent her threats to kill Elijah.  What would such a prophet do after such a life changing, victorious experience as he had?

Elijah ran in fear!  The very person who God used to show and bring Israel back to God ran in fear for his life.  HE RAN!

Don’t be surprised when the miracles, signs and wonders are over and the anointing lifts that often causes true prophets to run because of the spirit of Jezebel.

I can sense and feel a unsteady way in which apostles and prophets mingle together instead of working together.  There is a problem because very few know how to function together in ministry, especially the five fold and revival ministries.

I can sense the new that God is restoring back to the church.  There are blind spots to each office that is why we have got to learn how to work and harmonize together.

Things shall be corrected as these shall learn to function together.  Everything is so new and fast that it feels like we are flying by the seat of our pants.  It is end-times beloved and Jesus is coming!

During this time frame and beyond, the apostle’s must learn and work together with the prophet.  There have always been extremes in all moves of God and revival.

Religious spirits and Jezebel spirits seek to make the movement into a religious controlled box of limitation.  It is because they are afraid to allow revival because they cannot control it.

The Apostle and Prophet must be able open to “learn to function together.”  If WE the people of God do not learn to be balanced we will have opened the back door of the church and in walks religion, tradition, legalism, bondage and Jezebel and all her idols.

Apostles will need the truth and the ministry of the prophet to keep the ministry balanced and not off kilter.

Our final authority is the Holy Bible.  Under the anointing we can do many exploits, however when that anointing lifts, we come back like superman Clark Kent.

When you indeed read what the old testament prophets and new testament prophets and apostles did, these had to depend on God as they didn’t have the Bible then, these sought out God by direct revelation.  Beloved prayer is never sacrificed. It is your hot-line to God for revelation.

“I know I can trust you to carry my glory for you have been tested and chosen to do so.

I have and will make you known. I will make room for your gifts. Keep seeking, keep worshipping and let them find you by revelation.

“For those who dare speak or harm those who are my childlike vessels that carry My glory, I shall raise them up in your presence and My glory shall be seen in their faces.

These having childlike humility will be so trusting of My presence.  When these childlike ones see My purpose they shall not be concerned about anything as they simply trust me with such innocence of heart and in their eyes,”  says the LORD.
