I see many being stretched like the stretching of a huge rubber band.

Many sincerely feel that we are being stretched beyond all control, and it feels like the breaking point.

Many have wondered how these various circumstances have happened in such a way, causing those who rarely fall under the weight of opposition to now feel so empty and useless.

Many have felt helpless, as they watch and are helpless to fix these issues in themselves, and especially in helping others.

So many are sitting in silence, no matter where they are. The silence has been deafening — even while among groups as sitting among people they even feel dead silent within.

There are serious trust issues at hand.

Many have gotten such flak from people in response of late, that now they won’t ask for help, because many people feel burned by sharing personal information for prayer — that has been turned and used against them.

Trust is earned and learned. It takes time to learn to trust, having proven things over and over again. The bottom line is — we can only truly trust The LORD, for He is always faithful and always has our best interests at heart.

If life was ideal and we never had negative circumstances happen, we would never grow and learn. In God’s timepiece, we need to enjoy the times of plenty and remember them, because each day has its own issues we must walk through.

Man’s time often doesn’t line up with God’s time and we find we cannot schedule our lives religiously. No one owns their own time ultimately.

God is always moving and doing but in man’s eye, one can’t often deal with the time constraint’s when unforeseen trials and tribulations hit us like a brick wall bringing all movement to an abrupt stop.

You have felt so alone in all of this whirling about you and you have found that even your physical body has been stretched to the limit and wracked with issues, especially pain.

In the midst of all that is happening, I also understood this too, that this far-reaching stretching you are going through, The LORD at the right season, and in His time shall aim you and you shall be catapulted beyond it all, going into your future.

This stretching isn’t just to stretch you, it is to aim you as a weapon, and no one will be able to blame you for anything. Suddenly you shall rise and people will wonder how in the world you got to where you have after having survived from insurmountable odds, being nearly or ‘seemingly’ cut off, like a POW. (Prisoner of War)

I see fragmented souls and people who don’t understand where they are. These don’t see how the fragments of their lives fit together. This fragmented existence isn’t all there is but God has a plan in motion to keep us dependent on the body of Christ.

We as a body have parts that fit together as fragments in the body of believers. Much like a huge puzzle, each piece is just as important to gain the vision of the entire picture God has given.

You are vitally important to God’s vision no matter how fragmented and seemingly small your life is. Receive this and know this In Jesus’ name!

“For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shall thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in The LORD with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear The LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to they navel, and marrow to thy bones,” Proverbs 3:2-8 KJV.

“Encourage the corporate Body of Christ!

In the midst of chaos, rioting, and clamor, the daughter of My People shall thresh in the midst of turmoil and be brought to the threshing floor, for it is time to thresh her — and in a little while her harvest shall come.

For as soon as Zion travailed she brought forth her children, shall a nation be reborn in a day or a city reborn at once? I have done it before can I do it again?

In the midst of churning turmoil in the streets, burning districts, and breaking down bars in lawlessness, shall great folly be manifested in high seats that they hold.

Watch! Watch what happens when those cities rise again and, in their anger and frustration, they shall make their voices known!

Those in their supposed leadership roles shall be ashamed however. In their pride and anger, they shall demonstrate how devious and further down they shall go in their hatred of My chosen order and lot of things. I have chosen those who protect and serve!

Shall there be rioting, destruction of cities, whom the evil one has set pockets of insanity fueled by demons to destroy My Cities?

Shall there be the voice of noise from the cities, and My Voice to be put out?

It is My Voice that shall render recompense to My enemies. Shall not the judge of the whole world do right? For in one moment I shall send an Army of Angels to set My Streets.

Why haven’t you seen the propaganda as such, to turn brother against brother, city against city, inspired by Lucifer and his sons?

I have seen it all and in one moment I shall blow, I shall quake, and I shall empty the sources of fire and brimstone in a moment, and I shall call to order, and who can withstand It?

I shall bring My Cities back to Law and Order and those who wanted lawlessness shall be embarrassed by their insane brain when My People speak the order will come.

Angels shall fight the hordes of hell and push back the tide of evil set against these cities.

The stock shall change and the bull shall rise, as one that is released from a stall and ridden, only to be cast off, for no man shall ride the bull.

He shall be wild and snort from great stock that shall rise, giving heed to the earth, for is anything too hard for me?

For I shall take My chosen one, in the midst of great turmoil and he shall create with his great Wisdom and with a great Understanding of the Times and this one comes on bended knee and shall know that I AM God.

Why are many in The Church afraid and trust in what they see, instead of trusting in Me?

Why are they asleep, hoping things will go away? The way out is the way in. Raise up a Standard and turn away from the propaganda in media that seeks to petrify your bones. Do not fear — but believe!

The nation is watching the craziness and the nation shall speak, even though many are hidden.

However, there are many of Mine who have not turned to Baal. You shall see it when they speak!

Wake up America! Awake to righteousness.

Wake up and shake off the diamondback! The venom is only poison if you believe it.

Shake it off in the fire, for I AM a Consuming Fire!”

“For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?” Luke 11:6-11 KJV.

What may seemingly be as one or insignificant, isn’t how you measure success or worth in God.

What may only be small beginnings or a small group, is NOT how you measure and weigh success. You measure all things in life by The Word of God, as ministered through your life by The Holy Ghost.

“For who hath despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of The LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth,” Zechariah 4:10.

God says to judge according to the fruit. I am not talking about how many souls are saved, or how many miracles happen, although they are good fruit that follow a minister or ministry.

No, the type of fruit I am speaking about, are the fruits that are evident in the life of a Christian. We are to judge by The Fruit of The Spirit.

A person can be highly anointed and people get saved, healed, delivered, etc. but that person can be out of God’s Will and Order!

Why you may ask? Because the anointing isn’t for the minister, the anointing is evident for the people who need to hear God and be saved!

How a person lives and how they conduct themselves in God, is where we judge by The Fruit of The Holy Spirit.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit,” Galatians 5:22-25 emphasis added.

You align yourself to and measure by The Holy Spirit!

Remember Anna who ministered in the temple day and night in fasting and prayer, recognized the Child. (Luke 2:36-38) .

Simeon was given a promise from God that he would not see death until he saw the promised Christ child. Simeon waited a long time for that word from God.

Simeon said his ministry would see the coming one that would take the sin of the world. (Luke 2:25-32) He waited his whole life to see his promise.

Look at Mary. She carried the promised Christ child in her womb, then tended to Jesus as his mother. What a powerful ministry she had and she was one person!

Abraham was one man whose loins would come to the nations of the world! All of these examples seem insignificant, there weren’t many that followed them, yet they accomplished their ministry on earth.

You cannot measure a person’s worth in ministry by numbers, or having small groups.

Being small or being one doesn’t indicate failure or bad fruit. Jesus was the Christ the son of the living God and his ministry did not start till he was 30 years old and his ministry lasted 3 years on earth!

Jesus visited his home of Nazareth and people said, “Can any good thing come from Nazareth?” and so “he couldn’t do many works there due to their unbelief.” (John 1:46, Matthew 13:58)

You may be in a town that knows all about you and they see no worth in your life in God, but God sees and knows. Do not despise small beginnings! God knows what He is doing! He sends laborers to where the need is greater, where the laborer will be received.

The LORD often keeps a lot of things hidden from view! He doesn’t want the enemy to know His Plans. God’s tactics are divine in a person’s life.

God may have given you a powerful ministry. However, being powerful doesn’t necessarily mean great numbers of followers, it could mean great faith!

Many judge ministries by great numbers of souls which is good, but there are other ways that God gives us talents.

You may be frustrated today because you seem small, insignificant, with no fruit. What may seem small in only a moment can be a breakthrough when God takes his vintage vessel that has aged in that cellar-like fine vintage wine. God knows when it’s time to shine!

The LORD still visits Bethlehem, a seemingly small insignificant places. One man, the prophet Elijah, was sent to a nation to prove to the people that God is God and he hasn’t changed.

God still uses widows, He used a woman at a well to tell her whole town about Jesus. That woman being the first evangelist to Samaria.

God still sends fiery prophets from the wilderness, and He sends shepherd boys to watch His Sheep.

May you be edified today beloved that though it seems small, you are still in God’s timeline and frame and he will do accordingly to his promises to you.

You shall see the promises of God! Remember that numbers don’t indicate anointing or success. Look for The Fruit of The Spirit, and the signs to follow them who believe. (Mark 16:20)

“By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus,” Acts 4:30 .

Being successful is learning to walk in The Spirit and going through the process of allowing The Holy Spirit to develop The Fruit of The Spirit in your life.

Learning to grow up is successful! Learning to be living epistles seen and read of all men is successful! Be encouraged beloved of God!

Beloved, He has a Plan for your life and don’t despise small beginnings!
