Be Not Unbelieving !
Dec 24th, 2011
Thru Priscilla Van Sutphin
John 20:27 NKJV
27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing." 28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
I was going to sleep, but could not and kept getting, “be not unbelieving”
And the Lord had me recall this scripture to Thomas.
I’d been listening to the first chapters of Luke again as I knew He wanted to speak to me something.
The story of Zacharias was being related when I kept being impressed that
God was wanting to point out the unbelief, of Zacharias, even when beholding with his own eyes the angel Gabriel. For this unbelief he was struck DUMB for a time, till his acknowledgement through writing down what the angel had told him that he was to name his son. [ John – which means God is gracious ]
Indeed the grace of GOD abounded around the birth of Yeshua. Unbelief is a serious thing in the eyes of the Lord.
Rev 21:8 AMP But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)--[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death. [Isa 30:33.]
He was merciful to Zechariah. He was merciful to Thomas. Yet Thomas ended up going as a slave to India due again to unwillingness, maybe even to unbelief of the calling. Pondering all these things related around the birth of Jesus, I felt God is trying to communicate something. Also this morning I had a vision of water from a huge faucet in the sky being poured out on the ground, but in the ground was a huge brass ring like a sink’s pipe going into the ground and much of that water was going down the tube and not only on the dry ground. Brass has a connotation of hardness, as when the heavens are like brass.
I felt the Lord when pondering that, was urging us to PRAY that the hard hearts of those who are called by His name would be softened so that they could receive what He is trying to pour out in this hour. With a sense that if they continue in UNBELIEF, they will be like that brass ring with the hole in the ground, just water of the HOLY SPIRIT not being received by the ground. So PLEASE PRAY for the breaking up of the fallow ground. Pray GOD will soften the hardened hearts to receive what He wants to pour out. I sense this is very crucial right now for the churched.
So many are just doing programs and good things, but not necessarily the “God thing”. Hearts have grown so unbelieving and compromising. Jesus said, “When I return, will I find FAITH on earth?”
Then I was asking Him to speak, whatever He wants to say about these things…
The still small voice….
“ Unbelief has so filled even the pulpits, that some can preach My Word, yet be totally unbelieving in their hearts of the FULLNESS of the gospel message, and the POWER of My resurrection ! My love, like waves of the ocean will be poured out upon the thirsty lands. See that Your own hearts are free of UNBELIEF. Even with reassurance of the promises and My plan, so many do not believe.
I had to startle many to BELIEVE when I came the first time, and so it is again that many will be startled at the miraculous I am loosing on earth in this hour before I return again. It is no coincidence that Simeon lived so long to see His Savior come to birth, like I had promised him ! He believed !
Surrender your hearts like MARY did, and you will be in the right place to receive. Even if your mind can’t comprehend all I’m going to do, you can speak Your surrender to My WILL in your life, and it will bring forth great fruit.
Surrender is what I am looking for. Surrender of Your will to MY will is essential for the fullness of what I want to pour out into you My Bride !
I want everyone to know My love, My peace, My JOY inexpressible and overflowing, and for My church to be FILLED with the FULLNESS of the knowledge of MY LOVE, that they can communicate it to a lost and dying world.
Expressing your willingness to ME, is all I need to do a great many things My heart desires to see. I AM AN EXPERIENCE and this world cannot go on without an encounter with ME, the LIVING ONE, the MIGHTY ONE OF ISRAEL !
Believe My true prophets and LIVE ! Believe in what I’ve spoken to your heart and YOU WILL RECEIVE, all that I’ve promised. It is time to stand, TO DECLARE, to prophesy to demons, to prophesy to the world, the truth of My Word, and existence. The world must know. The TRUTH must be treasured. How will they know if you don’t tell them ?
Rom 10:14-15 NKJV Israel Rejects the Gospel
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"
I told you they will bring you before judges and magistrates, and I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TO SAY. So BE UNAFRAID. Be BELIEVING that I can speak through you what I intend to do. Do not give up on the promises I have spoken to you. MY WAYS are UNLIMITED. I AM the ALMIGHTY ONE ! ASK FOR THE GIFT OF FAITH !
I AM the Way, the TRUTH, and the LIFE !
Like I told JOSHUA, DO NOT BE AFRAID ! Speak what I tell you to speak. Do as I tell you to do, because obedience is better than sacrifice beloveds.
I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
I will give you many, many opportunities this year to speak for Me. Will you surrender your lives to ME totally ? Will you be willing to look foolish to the lost, and dying world ? Will you NOT take offense at their jeering and mocking ? Because the carnal mind cannot understand. PRAY, and WORSHIP ME in the beauty of HOLINESS. For I am a MIGHTY GOD and I am adamantly set on TRIUMPH !
You are My mighty horses in battle. So, I will STIR YOU UP against the enemy of your soul to stand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and JOY, to stand for TRUTH AND JUSTICE. Do not be dismayed by the Hananiahs who don’t want to admit the judgments of God are real, and who prophesy for money and fame…”peace, peace,” when what is planned
is far from peace !”
I AM THE ONLY SOURCE OF PEACE FOR THE WORLD.
COME TO ME AND FIND PEACE FOR YOUR SOUL , AND LOVE UNCONDITIONAL, OVERFLOWING WITH GRACE ! I will pour out water on the dry and thirsty land of the hearts of those who are willing to COME to Me in surrender, and by My great GRACE poured out, they will come.
Prepare yourselves for the great adventure to come. Prepare your hearts for swords to pierce them for all you will see, will not be only harvest, but
Much turmoil in the nations. Prepare your hearts to be vigilantly seeking MY FACE for all is at hand, and the FEAR OF THE LORD will fill THIS LAND once again !
Do NOT pigeonhole anyone with your opinions of who they are !!! I AM GOD, and I WILL DO AS I WILL. I WILL USE WHOM I WILL. YOUR IDEAS ARE NOT AS HIGH AS MINE BELOVEDS ! YOUR RELIGIOUS IDEAS OF WHO SHOULD OR SHOULDN’T BE USED HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY IDEAS. Be careful how you treat My anointed !”
1 Cor 1:24-29 AMP
24But to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile), Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God. 25[This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men. 26For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth.
27[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. 28And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are,
29 So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
