What a God we serve— Think about it…. Our God inhabits eternity-which is endless. Eternity holds no limit and time is useless….No clocks—- YEAH!. Our God inhabits this place which as I AM has no beginning or end…..as the place He dwells. The One who calls those things as those they are when they are not yet so the things which are, will not be…… The God who calls the end from the beginning and does not speed up the story so He may get to the end of His purpose quicker. Our God whose patience exalts His majesty. This God whose Words of His power are acting in the earth as strong as they were as He spoke Light be. This God has called you and has called me to step into His realm and be with and in and by Him in all things…… As our Lord prayed in John 17:22-23, And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
The God who entered into time to gather those He has called to dwell and inhabit eternity with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Now, He inhabits us as the living temple of God….. We all make up the city of our God, the spiritual temple of the Most High God….. WOW! If He inhabits us, what does that make us ????? Hmmmm.
The Word of God, the heart of God continues to cry out: And of whom have you been afraid, or feared that you lied and not remembered Me nor taken it to heart? Is it because I have held My peace from of old that you do not fear Me? I will declare your righteousness and your works, for they will not profit you. When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you. But the wind will carry them all away, a breath will take them. But he who puts His trust in Me shall posses the land and shall inherit My holy mountain. And one shall say, Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.
For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and lofty place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and revive the heart of the contrite ones.
I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near, says the Lord. And I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked, ( Isaiah 57:11-15, 19-20).
Then as we dwell in His Spirit in the heavenlies with our God……As we dwell within our God on high places, we learn to see His view of His people…..Our concern and care should not just be for our neighborhood church or may be this country’s vast dominations of Christianity. But we start to have a vision of the many tribes, nations and tongues as one whole body of Christ….There is no divisions in Him. We are still awaiting on the fullness of our brothers and sisters to be…… We are waiting as our Father is waiting for the fullness of times of the Gentile nations to become the kingdoms of our Christ Jesus…….. The time is short and the fulfillment of the Gentiles coming into the Kingdom of our God is now. Yes, it may not be completed tomorrow but time is short that our focus as our Heavenly Father’s focus is on the nations coming in to His fold.
Yes, we are after the fullness of Him….. but we cannot be full without the completion of our brothers and sisters in other nations to be His…… They have been called before the foundation of the earth…… So now we are praying and calling them…… The place where evil has reigned in centuries is going to give a fight in loosening his hold on these souls….. So we must be as Nehemiah’s generation as they were rebuilding the wall……. Some held the tools for the construction of the wall and other held the spears or armor keeping watch. We must be praying the Word of God and speaking the Word of God for both as always are essential…… Furthermore, as we are now seeing the view of our Heavenly Father’s…… His people to be gathered from all the nations is His focus. We have the 10/40 open window of opportunity……. Let us grab it with gusto….When we focus on the earthly life, we loose our focus of the heavenly, eternity place of our purpose.
As we grab the open the door of His knocking; we welcome this pertinent opportunity from the Spirit of God, we will see the revival of the hearts in this nation. Something happens to the heart of mankind when we give as our Lord, all we can, for others….. We grow and prosper in Him in greater measures than we ever thought or imagined. Somehow the manger and the cross play out in our lives as we dwell and look forward to the fulfillment of our eternal habitation.
I pray our hearts are stirred in to the heart of our Lord as He is calling all to COME HOME…… He is showing off all He can in other nations for the drawing of all that He has called. Our prayers may keep the evil back as His own are turning to Him in a great measure. In this season where there seems to be more consumerism and to get all you can and eat all you can and party……. There are many in dire straights that need our help. They are family and we do not leave any behind, right? Are we not the Lord’s army or marine? Please let the world go by and its allurements and let us turn our hearts radically towards the lowly manger that our Lord came to and spent His first night…… He did not come in a King’s palace, though He is worthy. He did not come surrounded by all His people receiving all honor and glory……. though He is worthy. He was made known to lowly shepherds in a field. He came so we could relate to His person…… A Man like us but without sin……. This Christmas- as we celebrate HIM—— , let us give Him our prayers and offerings to assist His people in lands where they are suffering and need us…..Let us pray for the courage and boldness of those who are turning to the Lord at the threat of death- or banishment from family or home or even country is great. The Spirit of God is hovering over the chaos again…..speaking Light be found in His Son. Let us make the way smooth for our new brothers and sisters to enter in to the presence of our God. Pray and give and when that is done, Pray and give again……over and over….. Our Heavenly Father’s focus is there…… so shall ours be.
Is it not written, when one hurts, we all hurt and when one celebrates we all celebrate? Are we not all made into the body of Christ, where He alone has preeminence….. The time is short and there will be a lot of hiccups coming. We need to make sure we keep our focus on the needful thing at this moment in time….. Our brother and sisters in the nations….. as we do, this nation will heal as the body of Christ will not look with distrust upon others but with mercy and kindness pouring out our prayers and provision. Is this not how the first days and years of the follower’s of the Way lived? Is this not the Ancient Paths that the Holy and Lofty One has called us and others before us to travel on the narrow road?
Isaiah 58:6-14: Is this not the fast that I have chosen; to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out? When you see the naked you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, Here I AM.
If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell in.
If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, not finding your own pleasure, not speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Let us build our lives on the Ancient paths of our God and Father, following the obedience even by suffering in the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The above scripture is a great and binding promise of our God to us, as we abide in Christ, it is to us- yes and amen!
The Sabbath of God is now- every day is the Lord’s Day….. and yes, it is also celebrated on Sunday, we honor Him….. But this is the Lord’s Day- He gets His first place in our lives- everyday! Sunday through Saturday…..We live unto Him daily……We do well to follow His instructions this day……. Collection were taken up in Paul’s day for the hurting saints in other countries……In this country, we help each other….. These called ones in other countries need us.
Do we really want to see all our Heavenly Father sees as He beholds His creation? We in our prayers can open the prison doors. We by our prayers can bring rain where there is drought. We in our prayers can hide the hunted, bring water in the desert. By our faith, the bread will be multiplied. It does not take a lot to complete the above scriptures to please our Heavenly Father, but it does take all of us in unity of the Spirit not looking out for our own but for the least and last……..
Will we remember what was under the tree this year come January 25th? But I will not question a God who beholds every minute we live, if He will not remember our love towards our brothers and sisters whom we do not know but love and care for in spiritual prayers and natural giving of not just the overflow but out of our need.
Then we may see the city shining on a hill again in this country with the peace of God reigning above all.
If we act out on His Word and turn towards His presence shutting out the world, what then may He do?
Let us just do it and get the job done that He has called us to fulfill in this time as it is……He has called us for such a time as this…..
Do we really think the fullness of Christ Jesus will manifest within the body of Christ without any cost to our outer court, the flesh that has been crucified with Christ? We die to the world and its way so we may gain Christ.
So therefore as written in Romans 12:1-2, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Remember, we are in Christ Jesus who is at the right hand of the Almighty who inhabits eternity……and we have been given the mind of Christ———- Let us remember the manger- Definition of humility and love which spelled this King of Mercy. The King of whom footsteps we walk in……. as a child walking in their fathers steps, never filling the big footprint but we are on the path and following the steps because we love Him.
He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking in truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head- Christ- from whom the whole body, joined and nit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love, ( Ephesians 4:10-16).
Selah! Thank you for your prayers…… This must be the heart of God for all the opposition. As Paul spoke a great door and there are many adversaries. Evil does not want us to step into the fullness of the plan of God. Evil’s time is shorter and shorter…… If there was no opposition, there would be no threat to him- the truth sets people free….. Glory that we are called to be His and we can glory that when all is revealed we will know how many times our Lord saw Satan fall as lightning from our prayers…….
Children,
The world did not welcome the Light. Do not be dismayed. Why do the nations rage at the One who is worthy? Speak loud, children, what I give in the dark. Stand on your roofs and shout the good Word of My Love. Do not fear what man can do, ahhh…. but fear I AM who holds your days into My hands…Man is as flesh and will pass away….. Be known by the One who inhabits forever and your forever. When you live on the rock which is higher than all, be still and know I AM your God. All which is done in the dark is revealed in the Light, My Light. No work of evil is done with out it’s recompense as well as your pouring forth love in My name is also in good recompense. If there is no disturbance of the dark by the Truth, there would be no Light shown there. Rejoice and dance My delight is in you, My beloved. Take courage , My little flowers burning with the fragrance of Your King, you are Mine. I AM turns all that is meant for your harm in to good because of your love for I AM.
My eyes see you and My love is covering you……. The gates of hell will not prevail, The lions became the guard of My servant, Daniel. The lions also became the demise of his false accusers. I create the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth the instrument for his work; and I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises against My beloved, in judgment you, My child, shall condemn. This is the heritage that I AM has bestowed on My servants, My bride, and their righteousness is of I AM….. Who will come against those that I AM has justified? The accuser of the brethren has been cast down and for all eternity he shall inhabit the lake of fire…… Who is foolish enough to want to join him? Ahhh, but so many are deceived into their ways leading to escape the Consumming Fire this day, their end will be the fire that never ceases. Wisdom is the principle thing which leads to the fear of the Lord…… The One who beholds all He has made.
I AM has even made the fool and paid out his wages…… But blessed is the one who is hated by men and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the I AM’s sake. Rejoice and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, for in like manner their fathers did to the prophets. I hear your prayers for the ones that strike against you…..Come and sit with I AM. There is not a tear that I AM has not captured nor a breath not caught that you took in so not to loose heart in I AM’s care. The eyes of My heart shed your tears also My bride. The breath of courage that you ask I AM to give has all been written in My book of wars. Beloved of My blood. As I AM is closer than your breath, oh yes, I AM is with you for what they do to you has been done to your King…… The walk is narrow but you are not alone……The climb may be steep- but I AM is your rear guard and take the boulders out of your way…… Oh, but some I AM leaves so you may overcome all evil with My love. I AM is aware for all who say they are My servants yet have not joined I AM on the cross of their desires. Yet, remember the first of days, trust no man, trust I AM. Know all by their fruit, My child, for some come as sheep in cover but under is the heart of wolves who tear and steal from My bride. I will restore your broken hearts, as I AM has all along. As I AM has spoken in the days ahead, for I AM is gleaning and providing for My own, whom the harvesters have coveted all.
Above all, My love, rejoice for you are Mine. No hand shall snatch you from My presence. All your whys may not have a fulfilled mate revealed unto you……. Alas, your prayers do. Rest . There is no peace for the wicked, no, that is their choosing for now….. May they come to their end so they may turn to My Beginning in them.
Thank you, child, for beholding the cross and your place at My feet. Thank you for choosing to climb the way of the cross and allow the consuming Fire of My love work away so I AM’s beauty in you arise. Rest, you have done well.
All who mock and scorn the Son of Man, come to I AM, this day. I AM has turned your thievery, your rebellion, your iniquities into a clean heart. Come and repent and turn to I AM. You then receive My forgiveness in your surrender of your need of I AM….. Come to the everlasting arms of Your Creator. Why do yo turn from My call? Turn back and do not forsake your mercy.
My mercy is everlasting as eternity…… Come and receive. I AM loves you.
SELAH!
May we all know the Lord while it is the Day of Grace, for do we really want to experience any of the ‘ Woe to you” spoken by our God, our King, the Living Word of God. I wonder if the Lord ever suffers from the suffocation of unbelief….. His Spirit of breath is stifled by man’s trying to hold Him back…… Why do men not want to enter into the beyond of our God? Just some thoughts and questions to ponder. The realm of God where the Holy Spirit takes us is beyond our human faculties. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Selah!
