A Raisin in the Son
May 19th, 2006
“Grapes as they lie out in the sun,
are turned to a food that is
preserved and added to many
other foods. Raisins are delicious
are they not, and a good source of
iron and sweetness. Just like that,
as you sit in the SON’s presence,
the concentration of your sweetness
becomes more and more as He pours
out His love in you. Your usefulness in many situations becomes more and more, as that which was inside you is squeezed out, dried out by the warmth of His love.
I am making you My raisins in the Son ! I want you squeezed till you are so SWEET that everyone wants to eat of what you have been nurtured with ! I want them to taste and see that the LORD is GOOD ! There is nothing that is worth having that isn’t worth the WAIT. So wait on my beloveds, for I am coming, I am changing the order of things. Not all is what it seems. To many things there is a good and a bad side. But I am GROWING FAITH in you to get you through the terrible times ahead.
You will not fail, because I will not let you fail ! MY GRACE is sufficient for you to be able to do all that I want you to. ASK FOR MY GRACE ! Call upon it in time of need. SHOUT GRACE, GRACE, GRACE to the mountains that the enemy is trying to build against you ! NO WEAPON formed against you will prosper. I will bring down every HIGH TOWER that exalts itself against ME, and My own ! RAISE THE BANNER ! RAISE THE STANDARDS ! RAISE YOUR HANDS in WORSHIP ! For lo the thief comes but to kill steal and destroy. He has loosed more of his armies for this hour to try and subdue My fivefold ministry. DO NOT GIVE IN TO HIS temptations to doubt My benevolence towards you! ENDURE the hardship like a good soldier. And RUN to ME when things are too much. Cast your cares on ME for I WILL care FOR you ! I will see you through.
I am networking My apostles and prophets who will go together to bring down principalities and powers over cities and nations. This the enemy does want to STOP at all costs. But I have a plan. There are some of you who will be called to leave everything and go overseas. There will be those overseas,
who will be called here from overseas to minister here. This is MY strategy, for a true prophet is never accepted in his own country. People who hear strangers give them a word, however, they will listen to. I will cause the world to WONDER at the things I do through you. Some of you have calls to cities or people groups, to neighborhoods, or to families, and you are going to see great changes, SUDDEN changes occur in them opening their hearts to the truth. DO NOT BE DISMAYED by the suddenness through which this happens. Do not neglect the gift that is within you beloveds. STIR IT UP! STIR up HOPE. STIR up FAITH. Do not just lay down and accept everything that comes, but seek MY WISDOM. Ask Me for wisdom in all areas of your life. When it is time, I will give it. But ask! Do not fear the things coming upon the earth, for I’ve told you that these things MUST happen.
You live in the most treasured time on earth. Saints of old have longed to see this hour. There is a host of prayers going up for all of you at this time. I will sustain you and you will see what your heart has longed to see, but do not let yourself give in to discouragement, no matter what happens. Have peace in your heart by keeping your eyes on ME. For I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. My love and glory are increasing as you bow down before me, and rest in My presence.”
Isa 30:15 NKJV For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel:
"In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not,
Eph 2:14-15 NKJV Christ Our Peace - For He Himself is our peace , who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
2 Tim 1:6-7 NKJV Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Implying you must USE your gift to “stir it up” and to not let fear of man
to stop us from using it.
