“Lowering the Baton!”
9/16/24
What Does "Pass the Baton" Mean?
The phrase suggests the handing over
of responsibilities or a role to another
person or group. It often refers to
transitions in leadership or power.
For example, a retiring CEO might
pass the baton to a successor, or a relay
racer hands over the baton to the next runner in line.
Let's explore its core meanings:
• It usually denotes the transfer of responsibility or leadership.
• It can metaphorically represent continuity or succession in a process or activity.
• While often used formally, it is also employed in casual conversations and contexts.
The phrase "pass the baton" frequently appears in pop culture, often referring to the idea of succession or continuity in power, leadership, or creative endeavors.
Baton 1: cudgel, truncheon specifically : billy club : a heavy usually wooden club specifically : a police officer's club
2: a staff borne as a symbol of office
3: a narrow heraldic bend
4: a slender rod with which a leader directs a band or orchestra
5: a hollow cylinder carried by each member of a relay team and passed to the succeeding runner
6 : a hollow metal rod with a weighted bulb at one or both ends that is flourished by a drum major or drum majorette
I heard the above phrase, then:
“Each generation is to pass the baton to the next. In order to do that, the older needs to lower his baton. That is to release control & humble himself that he could listen to whom I wish him to pass it on to!
You cannot be in control, & walk according to My Spirit. You have to surrender control to My Holy Spirit and do as He says. Give the baton to He Who is The Light of The World — & allow him full control!”
“I WARN & counsel the elders among you (the pastors? spiritual guides of the church) as a fellow elder & as an eyewitness [called to testify] of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a sharer in the glory (the honor & splendor) that is to be revealed (disclosed, unfolded): tend (nurture, guard, guide, & fold) the flock of God that is [your responsibility], not by coercion or constraint, but willingly;
not dishonorably motivated by the advantages & profits [belonging to the office], but eagerly & cheerfully; not domineering [as arrogant, dictatorial, & overbearing persons] over those in your charge, but being examples (patterns & models of Christian living) to the flock (the congregation).
And [then] when the Chief Shepherd is revealed, you will win the conqueror’s crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger & of lesser rank, be subject to the elders (the ministers & spiritual guides of the church)–[giving them due respect & yielding to their counsel].
Clothe (apron) yourselves, all of you, with humility [as the garb of a servant, so that its covering cannot possibly be stripped from you, with freedom from pride & arrogance] toward one another. For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)–[& He opposes, frustrates, & defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble. [Proverbs 3:34.]” 1 Peter 5:1-5 AMPC.
1 Peter 5:6-8
“Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you, casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once & for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately & cares about you watchfully. [Psalm 55:22.] Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant & cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon & devour.”
The Lord spoke:
“There is a baton about to be removed & passed to another in your government as well.
Only it will be ripped out of the hands of those who have usurped it behind the scenes.
Most can see that this corruption is being done now, through the administrators of deception who are blind to the truth as well as to He Who is The Truth!
Jehus are arising! Can you hear the sound of horses galloping? For a determination of heart has been handed to those who have been given the assignment to expel the Jezebel’s of false government.
They got where they are through cheating, witchcraft & sorcery — & they will now be removed by force!
Great is the hand of The LORD Who saves! For His Mercy endures forever towards those who honor Him!
Destinies are being fulfilled in this hour of remarkable change!
The Military knows where all the immigrants are, because they have been given all kinds of privileges (like cell phones & jobs where they need SS numbers, etc.) so though turbulence comes from various sources, My Plan will prevail!
Keys have been given out to those with specific assignments to confront those within Church government — for I will execute divine intervention through prophets in confronting illegal leadership within The Church as well.
I will restore those willing to repent. But I alone know what is in the heart of a man or woman. Thus some will be brought home & some will be destroyed by their own pride.
The Church will be shaken from all compromise, apathy & complacency.
Nothing will be the same as it has been.
There are many faithful leaders who will be advanced by My Glory & who will Shine with My Light upon an unbelieving world, that they may be saved.
The gates of hell will not prevail against My True Church! Though shaken it will not crumble. The True Church will rise to establish My Kingdom in the earth for great Harvest is at hand!
Great power comes in the midst of persecution.
You read how Apostles just walked by people & they were healed. It will happen again! And trusted servants will again walk the earth & transverse the earth supernaturally.
Watch Israel for signs & wonders.
The LORD of Glory arises in this hour to display his might! You will see, & ALL WILL SEE His Glory displayed! And even as He arises, so will false signs & wonders, to try to steal away the hearts of those who are His & also, those who are jealous, will want to kill you.
But the greater things I will do and shocking displays of glory will save many souls.
A flood of people will come into The Church in this hour! It will cause some to fear — because it will be overwhelming!”
