I have noticed that pride keeps many from sharing the reality of real-life scenarios and especially hidden are chapters left out and not told by the Minister’s lives.

Sure, we can read books that go back in time to where the people have died and gone on home to be with Jesus, and they share the victories and the hardships.

But I find these types of revelations could be helpful today in this life. with the people we deal with every day.

As I said, pride keeps everything behind the curtain, because no one wants anyone to see them in a negative light. But Christ sees it all and knows all the motives.

Everything we live and die for in the flesh is a tool that Christ can use to help others today. We all go through trials and battles and none of us are exempt.

Each time we go through a rough patch, or a never-ending trial, we must learn from it, and we should learn how to apply it to our growth and not get stuck there.

We are traveling along the path, and we face many things both good, and bad but he takes everything Satan means for evil to turn it around for our good.

I believe in being real and for this I have been hotly criticized. The life of the honest believer in Christ is a walk of seasons, separations, mountains and valleys and everything in-between. It is a life of reality. Be real!

There is balance in The Kingdom of God. We must see the fullness of God. We must see the character and nature of the fullness of God.

For example, He is a God of Love, but also a God of Justice. He is a God of Mercy, but also a God of Judgment. It depends upon the situations, how God manifests, and how we minister.

Knowing God as our Loving Father shows His Love, but also manifests as a Corrector and Disciplinarian.

Again, we must see the balance of God’s nature and character. You must also ask and see who He is talking to. Wat may apply to you — may not apply to others.

To rightly divide The Word of Truth, we must know The Author of The Bible. We are to prepare in study of the Holy Scriptures, rightly discerning through The Power of The Holy Spirit.

You cannot read The Bible as a textbook. One of the roles of The Holy Spirit is to be our teacher and He leads and guides us into all truth.

For example, for a number of days I have not been able to shake off heaviness and weightiness. It has not been a typical Spiritual Warfare, because I have received breakthroughs in other areas.

However, I awoke with the same condition as I was silent before The LORD.

Normally when I get a breakthrough and the circumstances come again the next day in the same way, that tells me I must press on, because there is a deeper revelation and burden for The Body of Christ or Nations.

The same is true for intercessors that they feel the burden in their body and cannot get a release until they breakthrough no matter how long that takes.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? But The LORD he searches the heart, he tries the reins to give to every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV.

We know the pattern, if we have been in The LORD for a while. We seek God, we repent of any known or unknown sins or secret faults or presumption, and once we do that we move on.

In all humility, frustration, and confessions, prayer, discernment, we are ready for answers. The Ascension Prophetic Gifting, by design, was made to function with others of like heart, mind, and spirit. For the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

The heaviness and weightiness of the Words and Visions of my mind, and impressions of my soul, troubled me and I could not break free.

I continued in prayer, seeking God, studying The Word, and even continued in writing. Yet after publishing my latest Word to the web yesterday, I anticipated a release with relief! The relief it gave me was short-lived.

Once again, I awoke early and the weight and heaviness upon me was troublesome to bear. This morning it escalated into feelings of desperation, confusion, and I even felt like I was lost with no hope and might as well die!

These various flashes to my mind of situations, scriptures, visions were all like pieces of a puzzle randomly falling from above, but suddenly coming together before my eyes!

But once realized, I knew this had to be for something else. Was it a person, a group, a Nation, or the Nations?

How many of you have felt the wrestling of your soul in spirit for nations? You finally get relief as you realize all the feelings that you were having here for something bigger than yourself. But God chose you to break through.

I sought The LORD and things became apparent and the airborne puzzle- pieces began to come together and to snap in place.

The coming together of the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, and between my prayers and their prayers with counsel, and the corresponding Scriptures, The Holy Spirit confirmed that it was very apparent that the weightiness and heaviness was a heavenly download from The LORD.

It is now that you finally understand why you have felt so burdened and separate. You could not shake those feelings so now understand what it means to stand in the gap.

That is when The LORD anoints you to carry another burden for others or nations. The feeling aspect of this burden motivates you to pray through until the breakthrough.

So now that you understand why you have been feeling these things, you can readily feel in your body how to pray for it in each specific part. It brings great victory and when that burden lifts and that battle has been won.

For my experience in various points, I literally took on the characteristics and feelings in my body all wrapped up in one for this truly is, The Burden of The LORD.

The only way to describe it, it is like I am standing in The Courtroom of Heaven being confirmed by The Judge of The Whole Earth — who does right.

I felt like my knees were knocking and I was shaking all over internally and externally. My point is — that you will experience it!

Standing in the gap is what Jesus did — between heaven and hell. When He stood in that gap, He intercedes for us and took our place.

This is the same thing we do as Intercessors. When we stand for Nations, we stand in the gap between heaven and hell, interceding to The LORD our Judge of The Whole Earth — who does righteously!

So, to summarize, it takes an ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ — by seeking Him. And in these last days we are living in, we must learn to discern what is for us, what is for others, what is for communities, and the Nations.

Intercessors, it is time to know how to discern and touch God, so that we can reach others who cannot help themselves.

There will be strong feelings of burdens, you may even feel lost, and you know better, but just realize that is true intercession and burden bearing.

I will attempt to describe ‘spiritually” what many of us are going through right now.

For those who have had children and those who were apart of the birthing;

Do you remember vividly the time that came during hard labor? The time where you wanted to get off that bed irrationally and run, when the midwives all said to push!?

I sense that is where many of us are right now spiritually.

We are great with child and the pains have become very great and suddenly you say, “I don’t want to do this any more!?

Thanks be to God, for those dear midwives and husbands in the room that kept bringing our mental and spiritual focus back to the task at hand!

Going through all the pain, pressure, and the sound of the next command; The PUSH!! We want to run from the PUSH betwixt and between, when the PUSH is what brings the release!

How often do we labor in prayer and travail of the soul, and suddenly have the sensation of, “I don’t want to do this no more!”

Thanks be to God for those The LORD has placed in our lives! What makes no sense to our soul, and spirit at the time, when our flesh wants to run and hide!

It is in these times of great travail and transitions that makes us so uncomfortable, unsure, insecure so that our irrational behavior is turned way up!

I thank God for those who know when to intervene in our lives in prayer and giving words to thoughts when things are so overwhelmingly unclear! None want to admit gnawing fear and faith unknown, in this painful process.

Yet these precious saints know when the proper words, strategy, and prayers applied will bring clarity, as we make no sense for only a moment in time.

For it is the result of all the labor and travail of soul that brings into existence something divine.

For when Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Ghost she was impregnated with the divine at the right time.

So, it is true today, everything we are, we be, we become, is to press into the delivery of the promised destiny, that you shall shortly hold in your arms! Identity and destiny for the promises came forth from the beginning of time.

Take up that identity, swaddle it in your arms, for the promise of destiny has come. ~ Selah

“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith The LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus saith The LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of The LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.” Isaiah 66:7-14 KJV

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” Revelation 12:1-6 KJV
