The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cheribum; let the earth be moved! The Lord is great in Zion, and He is high above all the peoples. Let them praise Your great and awesome name- He is holy. The King’s strength also loves justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His footstool- He is holy, ( Psalms 99:1-5).
Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed. But You are the same and Your years will have no end. The children of Your servants will continue, and their descendants will be established before you, ( Psalm 102:25-28).
If you think back to all the nations, many of them have come and gone. The land is in the same place but the names of the countries and rulers have changed. The One Ruler who has never changed is God Almighty and His Son who reigns at His right hand. Many nations have tried to cast out or destroy His people and the ones who follow Jesus’ way. The nations have come and gone but His people are still speaking of their One True God…..and His Son, Jesus Christ.
Satan has been replaced by our side with our Lord holding us in His right hand as written in Revelation 1 and Zechariah 3. Jesus Christ, our Victorious Leader destroyed the curse over our lives and made a way to eternal life. We are invited now into and born from the kingdom of God and know the One True Living God- for those who believe and carry the testimony of our Lord.
If we think back to eons ago to 1980 through 2000, ( may even before that time,) we had the outpouring of the Holy Spirit of His gifts abundantly distributed…… There was a great awakening, the White Horse was showing up big and strong, conquering without an arrow. The Lord was marking His children with His abundance of Love and Spiritual gifts and blessings so we would be so rooted and grounded in His love and knowledge of Him, so there would be no shaking us.
God always marks His own in every generation of man, so His grace in time allowed us to be well watered by His Spirit and nurtured in the Word of God.
Then the red horse was released, as there have been many red horses released throughout the history since His resurrection and His receiving into the heavens. Numerous tragedies and catastrophes were allowed because the walls of protections in nations were breached.
There were signs given before that this may be happening, but pride became a block as the foundations of the Lord were changed,…….and there are breaches in the walls.
In 2001, the red horse rode through America on 9/11 and has been persecuting the chosen of God……There were signs that this may be happening, but pride became a block to the foundations of the Lord were changed…….and there are breaches in the walls.
Then 2008, we had the black horse show up in the crash- one day the market fell 777 points…….Signs were being shown and again pride stopped the change that could have occurred to swing the foundations back to honor and obey the Lord’s ways.
Long ago there was a sign from God. This sign was in the age of the father of Noah, Lamech, who lived 777 years. Then Noah was given instructions for the preparations of salvation by means of an ark for the coming flood -This is found in Genesis 5:30-31. The number 7 means complete, mature or perfection……Noah built the ark in one hundred years. He was speaking the coming Day of the Lord for many days, and yet, all that were saved were eight.
As it has been and will be and be again, it is written in Matthew 24:37-39, But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
The Son of Man has broken through our lives over and over again individually and into the nations, His Spirit comes to awaken, shake, correct and judge…… There have been numerous anti christs that have risen up to cause chaos and our God has stepped in His good justice…. There is not just one son of perdition—–There are sons of men who have characteristics of the antichrist as written in Daniel. They arise by God’s sovereignty and fall by the hands of our God…… We need not only see the coming of the Lord as a only one day. There will be a final Day of the Lord, but there has been many days of the Lord acting through believers through the generations. He comes to shake the earth so what is, will no longer be and what has not been, will be. He desires for all men to repent and not to perish.
Could we be approaching the pale horse?………….There has been no war where in its chaotic midst is there any shortage of famine and persecution as well as an abundance of death and yet, His Spirit of grace will be knocking on the door of many hearts to come to the Lord now for this is the day.
When the foundations are broken by disobedience of God’s laws, the corrections are always forthcoming. This happens in our singular lives and nations. History proves His hand over and over again, but man still ignores the signs. The Almighty uses any weapons He chooses to make the correction or chastening of any people. This is His mercy in awakening all before their time on this earth is completed so they may turn to Him. His desire is for the peoples to repent and believe and surrender their lives into the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. He does not want any to perish as this is recorded twice in the Word of God- look it up for yourself.
Now I can hear the words of hearts saying, how could God be good if all this is happening?…… The definition of good is not the feeling good and getting all the desires of our heart that people think is good. Strong’s Concordance shows the definition of good: idea of scales as if 2 ears to weigh, ponder, give good heed– to fasten upon, hence to seize, be strong, courageous, causatively strengthen, cure, maintain, play the man, mend, become wax, mighty, prevail, be recovered, repair, retain, seize, be wax, sore strengthen, be stout, make shew, wax strong, take hold, be urgent, behave, self valiantly, withstand, help repair, fortify, obstinate, to bind, restrain, conquer, aid, amend, calker, catch, cleave, confirm, be constant, constrain, continue, be of good courage, encourage, be established, fasten fortify, make hard, harden, help, lay hold, fast, lean….
Now the definition of good in the first language, Hebrews, points to a mighty different direction then what may be our definition of good. Good does not resemble under the Christmas tree all the gifts we want from Santa Clause, who by the way is fiction. Santa Clause originated long ago from a saint of a man who gave fruit to poor children on Christmas.
I am not saying He does not give us the desires of our heart, but some of the unregenerated heart desires are very self centered, full of our flesh. Walking in the flesh does not please God. We are to be walking by faith in the Spirit of the Living God.
This is not to awaken fear of what may come, but to awaken the true fear of the Lord and the truth that God is God and we are not. He raises and He puts down as He so chooses as written in the Psalms. This is His world and His creation and we are wise to change our hearts to awaken to His Words, which will come to pass. This is the time to bind ourselves in Him, in His Word and loose or put childish ways behind us. The time is at hand to allow His Spirit to awaken us to His desires and make them our own. Praying the knowledge of the will of the Lord this day.
I pray if that day were to come where we are to stand or fall in front of man because of our Lord, we stand strong in our testimony of our belief in the Lord Jesus Christ- no matter the cost, even our life in the flesh. Today is the day to make preparations for our stand….We do not prepare for a storm when the storm is upon is, it may be too late. We always seek the preparations so we have all we need. Seek all the grace of God today and be filled with Him so we are prepared for any thing and from anywhere. We will be rooted and grounded in Him….
The seals have been open in the Book of Revelation, chapter 6, and we have also been given the seal of the Holy Spirit…………In 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
I want to finish this exhortation with scripture written regarding God’s protection of His own. We all know the story where the big wigs in Daniel’s day tried to frame Daniel in having the king of that day align with their scheme. Their plan was no one was to pray or petition any god but the king for thirty days. If they were caught they were to be put into the lions dens. Daniel remained faithful to our God as was his custom to pray often during his day. So the big wigs went full of self righteousness to the king to destroy Daniel, but we see God’s protection in Daniel 6:16-17- , So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, He will deliver you. Then a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring, and with the signet rings of his lords, and that purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed.
Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions. And when he came to the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, Daniel , servant of the Living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions? Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions mouths so they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.
Now the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God. And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den, ( Daniel 6:19-24).
The result of this is grand! God uses His instruments, us, for all His glory and no man can go against the will of our God for us.
Then King Darius wrote: To all peoples, all nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:
I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.
For He is the living God and steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion will endure to the end.
He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth. who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions,( Daniel 6:25-27).
Our God is good because He is just. He is mighty and great. Yet, here we are! His mercy exalts His majesty! We do not delight in any but our King – we are His!
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence, ( 1 Corinthians 1:27-29).
So beloved,
Blessed be the God of and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, of need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith- the salvation of your souls. ( 1 Peter 1-9).
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, and gathered out from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, ( Psalm 107:1-2).
Oh family of the living God, let us rejoice as we remain abiding in His presence!
Selah!
Children,
Behold, I AM makes all things new! All things will pass away, but My Word shall not pass away. Abide in Me, you are a new creation, My bride, My city. Old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
A man plowed a field many times. After careful sifting of the earth. He then plants his seed. He waters and he waits. He lightly fertilizes the tiny plant to give strength to survive the rains and hot sun. The farmer waits.
After many days, the plants in the field are ready to bear their flowers. He carefully walks among the vines to check the strength of their fragrance. If some do not have a flower hiding in a bud, he prunes the branch. If there is no evidence of any growth or there is deformity in the plant. He will bring the vine out of the earth. He knows it will not produce fruit for him. He wants every part of his earth to produce his harvest.
Again, after many days, he walks among his vine to check the fruit that came from the fragrance. He sees some plants are worthy of all his effort and strain and are going to produce a mighty harvest of fruit, blessing the farmer. He pulls out the vines that have grown very big but their fruit is not coming forth. He gives more room to the fruitful vines with his harvest by pulling out the ones that will not do what he had planted them to do.
One plant said to the another plant which were bountiful with fruit, oh look how beautiful we are and how we are pleasing our master. Then the other plant replied, do you see the big round tub over there? The other plant said yes. Well, that is where our beauty becomes our master’s glory. We are pressed down and struck down. Our fruit will be made into the drink for our master. This is his harvest he has been patiently waiting on. This is his pleasure. The other vine, replied only, oh. Then there was silence as the a great army of men came to pull the fruit and to remove the fruitless vines in the earth of the farmer.
I AM comes knocking as a beggar to each heart in each room, in each home, in each city, in each nation, in each generation. Seeking for any who will let Me in. I AM your light and your life. I AM seeks you, are you seeking I AM? I AM is in your midst every second of every minute of every morning, of every afternoon, of every evening, of every night. In your nights of darkness, I AM with you waiting for you to turn to Me and speak. If you speak to Me, I will answer you. You are My creation. I know what you need and know your ways. There is nothing that you have done or are going to do that I AM has not taken care of in My death and resurrection.
I AM is walking My fields. I AM is checking the fruit of My own. I AM is walking in My houses of My own. I AM knows all. All fruit and thistles and briers are before My eyes in the days and nights of My creation. Come to Me, alas, you may be producing something but it will not stand the fire of My gaze. Come to Me, and I will pour My grace upon you so you may then bear My fruit. The fruit of faith in My love for you, children. Come to Me, so you may know Me which is your eternal life. Come to Me, know Your King , so I may know you abundantly also. Allow Me to guide your steps in producing the fruit of glorying your Lord.
Today is the Day of your Salvation of the great I AM. Today, hear My voice. I AM will give Wisdom to your days and nights. I AM ‘s life within you will produce the glory that I AM seeking in My plants of the Lord. Come to Me, so you are at peace. As I AM has spoken there is no peace for the wicked. I AM is here before you, I AM gives you peace. Do not hold on to the wrong fruit that does not please I AM. Come to Me, I AM withholds nothing from you…… Do you withhold from I AM? I AM knows, nothing is hidden….. Come and receive My grace. Do not turn away with your head down cast…… Your help is here before you, with My outstretched arms. COME TO ME!
