Juggernaut
May 13th, 2009
This word I’d heard, but I did not know and this is one of the ways God teaches me -through looking up things. This is what is spoken of in Joel.
A juggernaut ( American pronunciation (help·info)) is a term used to describe a force regarded as unstoppable, that will crush all in its path or heavy in muscle. The word is derived from the Sanskrit जगन्नाथ Jagannātha[1] (meaning "Lord of the universe") which is one of the many names of Krishna from the ancient Vedic scriptures of India.
Joel 1:14-17 NKJV
14 Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord. 15 Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty. 16 Is not the food cut off before our eyes, Joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17 The seed shrivels under the clods, Storehouses are in shambles; Barns are broken down, For the grain has withered.
Joel 2:1-11 NKJV
2 Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming,
For it is at hand: 2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
3 A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness;
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run. 5 With a noise like chariots over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before them the people writhe in pain; All faces are drained of color. 7 They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks. 8 They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down. 9 They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness. 11 The Lord gives voice before His army, for His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?
“And who can endure the day of His coming ? For He is like a Refiner’s FIRE and a Fullers’ SOAP ! Have you not read ? Have you not heard ? Do you not realize your inheritance in this hour ? Do you think I will make pregnant and do not bring to birth ? Do you think I change my WORD, and My mind ? I am not a God afar off. I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind ! “
Malachi 3:2-3 NKJV
2 "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire And like launderers' soap.
3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord
An offering in righteousness.
“ AM I not the LORD of the UNIVERSE ? Can I not do what is in My word.
You need to ask for the FAITH to believe. You must renounce your UNBELIEF ! Did I not say , that when I return will I find FAITH on the earth ? Everything that is happening by the enemy’s hand is to try and steal your FAITH, your joy in ME. DO NOT GIVE IN to the Accuser !
I will perform My Word and I will raise up a standard against the enemy when He does come in like a flood. The earth is filled with dissipation. The church is filled with worldliness and greed. BUILD UP THE HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS ! PREACH THE WORD ! SHOUT from the rooftops what you hear in your ear ! Do not be afraid of their faces ! What have you to fear, that I cannot take care of ?
Will you cower instead of face the enemy ? Moses shrank from faith and almost died because He said, ”SEND AARON” !
Will you walk in faith or timidity ? I did not give you the spirit of FEAR !
I have given you POWER, and LOVE and a SOUND MIND to resist the wiles of the enemy. Do not give in to his emotional terrorism ! RESIST the enemy and he will FLEE !
It is a time for clinging to ME, the Author and Finisher of Your FAITH !
It is a time for ascendancy – a time to go higher ! For I AM DETERMINED to have a people after My OWN HEART, and who know the LOVE of their GOD, and HIS ability to save them in ANY circumstance !
I AM DOING A NEW THING ! I WILL ASTOUND EVEN YOU WITH WHAT I DO ! It IS time to pray and weep, to repent and be healed !
Come AWAY with ME and listen to the still small voice ! I will not be heard among the many voices you are listening to, but only when you turn off the distractions and all the other voices that want to speak into your life.
Be STILL, and know that I AM GOD, and that healing and comfort will come in that stillness of heart and mind and body.
I LOVE YOU MY BRIDE !
This love will NEVER change !
This love will CHANGE your heart, your emotions, your mind, your will, your desires, your complete life ! Come and receive ! Come and drink the new fine wine I am pouring out ! For MY LOVE NEVER FAILS. I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU nor forsake you. This love is FOUNDATIONAL to everything else.
Perfect love casts down all fear !
Fearful days are ahead. Terrible days are ahead. But I WANT YOU STRONG IN ME ! STRONG in the knowledge of how much I love you.
You ARE the apple of My eye. YOU are the Bride promised ME. Can you imagine what it will be like, to never again have fear, to never again have pain, to never again sorrow ? Perfect peace belongs to him whose MIND is STAYED on ME. STAY YOUR MINDS ON ME.
I want to use you to trample down the enemy forces like a juggernaut ! But will you BELIEVE ? WILL YOU take up the sword of TRUTH ? Will you be strong enough to fight ? YOU will IF you come and get filled to the brim with the knowledge of My love for you !
Ephesians 3:17 –19 AMP
17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
