These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, shuts and no one opens, (Revelation 3:7).
Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, (Colossians 4:12).
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge, (Psalm 47:10).
Our God is holy and it is wise to fear the One who holds all our days in His hands. What He wants for us to be is open and what He wants us not to be is shut. If we follow His will and instructions, there is peace in our soul even if there is chaos around…….We are in Christ, in Him, who resides in heaven as well as in our spirit. As well as, we walk this earth and also are seated in heavenly places with and in our Lord.
But there is an open heaven for all people that do not believe and receive Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ opened the heavens for all who believe and do not. The Lord’s blood still speaks today. Our God does not forget anyone that has breath and is walking on this earth. The heavens are opened by Jesus Christ, certain people do not have a portal over them and others do not….. All have the heavens opened…… Now unbelievers have the veil of unbelief blocking their heart- their ears and eyes to hear and understand to take the Lord as their Savior. But that does not mean their heaven is closed by God…..It is their choice. The Lord’s work is finished.
There will be a day of reckoning with the great King of kings and Lord of Lords. Our God is a consuming fire….. As we as believers fear not and run into His fire that burns away all the chaff, we will rejoice on His Day…… So until His Day, we are told to be still and know He is God.
Sometimes the options, the Holy Spirit gives us as instructions, we want to say, okay Lord. Is there maybe a door #2 to choose from? The answer of course, is silence. He wants obedience in all His whispers. We rather have the whispers now and obey through the fire, then, go with the thunder and lightnings that will be upon the sons of disobedience later.
As we, the believers, love our King As written in Isaiah 24: 14-23… They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; for the majesty of the Lord they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light, the name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: Glory to the righteous ! But I said, I am ruined, ruined! Woe to me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherous. Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously.
Fear and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
The earth is violently broken, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken exceedlingly.
The earth shall reel to and for like a drunkard, and shall totter like a hut; its transgression shall be heavy upon it, and it will fall, and not rise again.
It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord will punish on high the exalted ones, and on earth the kings of the earth. They will be gathered in the pit and will be shut up in prison; after many days they will be punished. Then the moon will be disgraced and the sun ashamed; for the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before His elders gloriously.
As written in Hebrews, there still is a shaking promised….There has been many shakings in the world since the Lord was received up in the Most High. There will be a final shaking, we do not need to know what is of the Father’s decision of when time ends. But we do need to be aware and prepare our hearts for a shaking. When the fires come, we get purified into the Lord’s image. So when all is said and done as written- Christ will be all and in all. This should be our goal or our agenda.
So in the midst of the happenings and the promises of our God, we, beloved, are to be still and in peace. We remain still because we know our God is God and He will be glorified and exalted among ALL the nations, even ours! Remember, we are not to get His glory, but we get to live in His glory…..
So when we hear the whispers to keep binding and loosing and to be still…. remain in peace…… There is not another Door #2 to pick from….. Obey or we loose our peace.
Our God is on the throne and nothing escapes His sight. Remember He gave Pharaoh in Egypt a hardened heart for His glory…….. So we must remain, beloved, in the peace of God, as He works out His plan according to His purpose which is for His glory.
So surf’s up and get your surfboard and ride the tumult as the Lord puts us where He wants us for His Testimony on this earth…… We are His instruments in His mighty hands. Let us make sure we are the instruments for His glory because we have His Christ within us…..
Things will never be as it was. But what wasn’t, will be, if we know to bind what is not of heaven and loose heaven, the Kingdom of God upon this earth. His will be done in us and in the earth amongst the sons of men.
So peace and be still……. be upon and within us. As written in James 5: 8-11, You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not groan against each one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!
My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord- that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
Hear His whispers, beloved, and obey at all costs for:
O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You; I will praise Your name; For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For You have made a city a ruin, a fortified city a ruin, a palace of foreigners to be a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
Therefore the strong young people will glorify You. For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. You will reduce the noise of the aliens, as heat in a dry place; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones will be diminished.
And in this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines of the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined wines on the lees. He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all the people, and the veil that is spread over all the nations. He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe away tears from all the faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken.
And it will be said in that day; behold this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation, ( Isaiah 25:1-9).
There has to be a shaking for the awakening to manifest. No one awakens from sleep unless the Spirit of God awakens through the or our shaking. This is written through out the Word of God. Behold, His shakings are His never ending mercy! Our God’s love for us always is coming forth like a tidal wave. Go ahead and try to stop Him……I thank God we cannot stop His plan that establishes His purposes among the sons of men for God is Love.
Selah!
Children,
Do you not see the signs of My own children of what is and is to come? Have your heart open to understand what your eyes see and your ears hear. What is hidden in peace will be revealed in the wind…. A tree that is strong with deep roots that wrap around the rock in the earth will survive the wind that bellows from the north. All it’s fruit will be scattered by the strength of the wind…… The life of the tree will reproduce it’s after its own because of the wind. The seed in the fruit will then take root from the rain that follows the wind. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to understand what the Spirit is saying to you today?
Do not fear the wind or the rain and the shaking of the earth. They are to shake things that are, to not. Use the days before the storm to know I AM…… The time that is given to each life is open to a great eternity in I AM’s presence now….. Choose wisely and in fear of the Lord where your attention is drawn…. For I AM here waiting for My sons and daughters to gather around and hear and receive My choice Food, My Word. Remember, as I AM has spoken, after the wind, came the earthquake, then came the fire…..then came the Whisper of My still small Voice…… As it has been done before, it is again now, and will be forever more.
Those who have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying to you today.
Come to Me! My arms are still outstretched. See the tears flowing from My Eyes for the ones who still turn their back to Me. My Work is finished and the days are few. Come to Me. Open your heart to the Everlasting Eternal blood flow of My mercy. Know My Love. Know Me. Come to Me. I AM has made a way for you to come and know ME. Come and live with I AM forevermore. You are My delight.
Leave all behind and come. I AM left all behind to come to you…… I AM loves you and My Love never ends. So come to I AM now.
SELAH!!!!!!
