NOVEMBER 2nd 2009

 

 

I recently woke up with a dream-vision, where I was standing at the top of a canyon, looking down into the cliffs. I became aware of many of God’s children, hidden in the “cleft of the rocks”, but I realized that they have become so comfortable and complacent that most of them have fallen asleep.

Then the sound of the wind of the Spirit became audible, echoing between the cliffs of Mount Zion in the high places where the eagles soar, reverberating throughout the earth to awaken the heart of the Bride of Christ to call unto the Bridegroom, “Come Lord Jesus!  Come!”

This is a strong Word from the Lord, calling His Bride out of her spiritual slumber and lethargy to arise and take her place in the Kingdom to fulfill His assignments.

It is a time of repositioning under the counsel of the Holy Spirit to get every part of our lives and ministries in alignment with His Kingly rule.  Let us pray for enlightenment regarding God’s purposes for our lives in this hour.

We are called to deep intimacy with the Bridegroom, seeking face-to-face encounters with Him, but the purpose is to get to know His heart’s desire for a spotless, glorious Bride, and then to hear His instructions in order to co-labor with the Spirit to bring in the harvest, so that the whole earth be filled with the glory of the Lord.  

NEW APOSTOLIC MANTLES
New apostolic mantles are being released to those who are willing to go into the highways and the by-ways to call the people to the River of Life, so that they will be ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Some will prepare the way for His Kingdom by intercession.  Watchmen go to the watchtower to see what the Spirit is saying, for lives may depend on it! Some will go to release the Prophetic Word over specific regions and nations to bring alignment with His Kingdom rule.  Whatever you are called to do, DO IT!  DON’T DELAY!

The Spirit is calling and likewise the Bride will extend the call to the nations.  They are calling those who have hearing ears, those who are thirsty and those who are willing to come and drink of the water of life freely, for the coming of the Bridegroom draws near!

Revelation 22:17,20,21  “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

THE KEY WORD IS ”BALANCE”

We need to stay balanced.   While some are asleep in the secret place, getting stale because they do not give out, others are getting weary and heavy-laden (Matthew 11:28), because they do not get enough “refills”.

It is of utmost importance to “be being filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).  If you find yourself weary and worn out physically, emotionally or spiritually, it is time to stop the bus and make time to “wait” at the feet of Jesus, seeking His face.

HOLY SPIRIT “ENERGEIO”

During our recent mission trip to Zambia, I got exhausted by the extreme heat and suddenly found myself to be extremely tired.  When you get physically exhausted, you lose divine perspective and direction and you need replenishing.  As I was sitting with the Lord early in the morning, the song that Ron Kenoly sings about rising up with wings a s eagles (Isaiah 40: 28-30) came up in my spirit and immediately I felt the surging of the energeio of the Spirit rising up in me with an overwhelming joy.  God is so faithful! It was a fresh experience of the supernatural empowering of the Holy Spirit, the resurrection power, giving me all the strength I needed to soar and I was amazed at the immediate change in my spirit and soul, but especially in my physical body.  He will even quicken your mortal body with new strength!  GLORY TO GOD!  

Let us get intertwined with Him in worship while we wait on the sound of the Spirit to empower us with fresh vision and perspective to see from the heavenly viewpoint.  In the process our strength is renewed to take the Kingdom by force. If your spirit sings, your soul and body is refreshed and empowered, for the joy of the Lord is truly our strength.

The golden rule still applies:  First minister to the Lord in the inner court (the Holies of holies) and then go out to minister in the outer court, then back again for refilling, even several times a day to stay empowered in the glory of His Presence.

OBEDIENCE BRINGS BLESSING

We might have left some things undone, which He has told us to do, or we might have laid it aside and not having taken proper heed to His instructions, because we have regarded other things as more important and therefore procrastinated.  Distractions and false responsibilities might also have been the cause of not fulfilling what God has prepared for us, but God is gracious in giving us opportunity to get our lives and ministries in order, aligned with His will and Word.   There is one way, and that is to become still before Him, hear His instruction and step out by faith, doing His bidding in total obedience.   It might and most probably will require an offering, but this is His way of setting us up for favor and blessing!  

PRAY, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE!

Fear and uncertainty about tomorrow is also taking its toll amongst God’s people in these uncertain times, but this is not the time to give heed to negative voices.  Our ears and eyes need to be focused on the Word of the Lord, and therefore our hearing should be fine-tuned to only follow the voice of the Shepherd in full trust that He is able to perform His Word, if only we would believe. Now is the time to stand on God’s Word in unwavering faith and perseverance until it manifests.

The Lord has also been emphasizing the need to pray much in the Holy Spirit, until all other voices are quieted and our spirit man is strengthened.  Then pray INTO the Spirit to hear and to see with the eyes of your spirit what the Holy Spirit is saying.  When we know His will, let us pray with faith, believing His Word and commanding the obstacles to be removed.  Then simply believe that you receive what you ask in prayer and rejoice in His Word that says that you shall have whatsoever you ask.

Mark 11:22-24  “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

IF YOU DID THIS, REJOICE GREATLY, FOR YOUR ANSWER IS ON ITS WAY!  HALLELUYAH!!!  AMEN.
