“ Who do you run to beloveds ? What is your first thought when you are sick or stressed ? I tell you that not many run to ME. Their first thoughts are a doctor, or a pill, a psychiatrist for their teenager, or a psychologist. Their first thoughts are seldom that GOD is all powerful and Almighty and I can put all my trust in Him. It is because you have become fat and self sufficient. You are wealthy in the ways of the world but in the ways of Your GOD you are greatly insufficient and impoverished. Your faith is so weak that you negate the ability of the Almighty One to do what His Word says !
You then wonder why you have run amuck in this nation. Your belief that I will come in response to your prayers is directly proportional to your self sufficient pride. If you can take care of it , then you don’t NEED ME. But if you are desperate, then you have no choice. So I have made many desperate that they might no longer trust in themselves. I have taken away some hedges so that you cannot rely on your own strength and your own wealth to solve your problems.
I don’t do much in the midst of unbelief. I cannot. There is a law of reaping and sowing.
If you sow to self sufficiency, then you will reap poverty of soul. If you TRUST in ME rather than your own pride and self sufficiency, then miracles happen. Provision comes because you are asking ME to help instead of only trusting in yourself. FAITH only works from a perspective of TRUST in ME and My Word over every other avenue there is. If you choose the world, then you will not receive from me. I’ve told you that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Now there ARE times when I lead you to do something to help your own situation in order to humble yourselves. It requires HUMILITY to ask for help, and it also requires PATIENCE, another fruit to use some of the other avenues of help. In fact IMPATIENCE is one avenue to self sufficiency. So many don’t like WAITING on ME.
So many just want to do things their own way, then later wonder why I’m not in the equation if things don’t go as expected. If you leave me out in the first place, then don’t blame ME for staying out of your business. I said, ASK and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be opened. INTIMACY is the way of trust. INTIMACY is the way of FAITH. RUNNING to ME, rather than to others and science and worldly wisdom FIRST is the Way of GOD. It requires trust and waiting on ME for an answer. So many lack the patience to do that, so they go their own way….just like at the tower of BABEL. Remember that beloveds ? I told some people to spread out throughout the earth and procreate. Instead they decided to stay in one place and seek their OWN will. I want you to remember this, because what came from that rebellion to MY WILL was confusion.
If you have been confused of late, you might check whether you have been under attack or whether you have been in rebellion to MY will, or even sought My will. Patient waiting and meditation on My Word brings tremendous results beloveds. Intimacy with ME always leads to GRACE and wisdom. Those that WAIT on the LORD will mount up with wings as EAGLES !
In quietness and rest is RESTORATION. For I AM WITH YOU in the storms and I am with you in all circumstances as I live inside you. You have but to look INWARD to MY life within you. To REST in ME, is to look interior, to the Spirit that is within you for all the answers. It is not necessary to STRIVE and to FRET. Less time stressing and worrying, and more time resting and waiting will serve you well. QUIET CONFIDENCE will prove more fruitful any day than all the fear , distrust and nervousness that is in the world. There would be far less need for pills if people trusted in ME and laid down and rested and TRUSTED in MY wisdom and MY strength rather than their own. Remember that I said that My yoke is easy! How can it be easy and hard at the same time ? - By you trying hard - By you taking the reins - By you turning your own way rather than running into My arms !
The tables have been turned and I know many are tired and weary from all the testings. So I tell you now to SPEAK MY WORD and watch what I will do ! TRUST in ME to do what I’ve told you I will do. It is the 11th hour and it is time for HARVEST. It is time to proclaim the year of the LORD ! It is time to walk forward without looking back. It is time to thrust the enemy through, using My WORD with confidence, and hacking demons up in little pieces by cutting them through with the WORD, YOUR SWORD ! It is time to take an OFFENSIVE stand, and not just a defensive one ! It is a JOSHUA time when it is your turn to TAKE THE LAND. Do not look at circumstances around you. CALL FORTH MY WORD. PROPHESY to the heavens. Prophesy to DEMONS. Be BOLD. BE STRONG in the power of MY might !”
Mic 4:6-9 NKJV Zion's Future Triumph
"In that day," says the LORD, "I will assemble the lame , I will gather the outcast
And those whom I have afflicted; 7 I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on, even forever. 8 And you, O tower of the flock, The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come, Even the former dominion shall come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem." 9 Now why do you cry aloud who say, "Let her be defiled,
And let our eye look upon Zion."
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, Nor do they understand His counsel; For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor. 13 "Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; For I will make your horn iron, And I will make your hooves bronze; You shall beat in pieces many peoples; I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, And their substance to the Lord of the whole earth."
Isaiah 35 The Future Glory of Zion
1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; 2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, The excellency of our God. 3 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. 4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear Behold, your God will come with vengeance,
With the recompense of God; He will come and save you." 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert.
7 The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. 9 No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Num 23:24 Look, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion ; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey,and drinks the blood of the slain." NKJV
Isa 31:4-5 NKJV God Will Deliver Jerusalem
For thus the LORD has spoken to me: "As a lion roars, And a young lion over his prey
(When a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him,He will not be afraid of their voice Nor be disturbed by their noise), So the LORD of hosts will come down to fight for Mount Zion and for its hill. 5 Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; Passing over, He will preserve it."
