In a vision this early morning I heard a loud voice of someone introducing the Lord. The voice cried out "Jesus of Nazareth" and repeated it three times. It was like someone introducing the Lord Jesus on a stage for all who were waiting to hear and see. When I heard that I stood on my watch and then I saw a person on his bike in full preparation for a biking race. Fully clothed with the required suit and a helmet on the head. The race was already on the move. The biker with a face like a flint, had his focus on front of him, biking with stability and perseverance. Then I heard Loud and clear "October, say NO to the temptation of letting go." Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, had his own ministry on earth. He literary sat his face toward Jerusalem like the flint and said NO to all temptations to let go while in complete knowledge of what he was about to face. In Mark 8:31-38 the Lord shared what is going to happen to him with his disciples. Peter, Led by the enemy, through his emotions, rebuked the Lord, put the Lord with so much steadfastness and perseverance rebuked Peter back and said NO for the temptation to Let Go. 33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” In Luke 4:28-30 the teacher of the Law and the people, rejected the Lord and his message and tried to drive him off the mountain to kill him but he passed through them and they couldn't put their hands on him. The Lord said NO to the temptation to let Go and with a face like a flint, steadfastness and perseverance, continued his walk toward Jerusalem . Jesus Rejected at Nazareth …28 And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; 29 and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff. 30 But passing through their midst, He went His way. In Luke 22:39-45 While our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth in prayer, he got glimpses of what he is going to deal with on the end of his race on earth. The agony and the pain were tremendous, his sweat came down as drops of blood. The temptation of letting go was intense but even though, he cried out to the father and said " Your will be done not mine" and an angel appeared to him and comforted him. The Lord said NO to temptation to let go. Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives 39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46“Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, knowing the end from the beginning, embraced his assignment from the father, sat his face toward Jerusalem and continued his race and won bringing honor and glory to the father for he did what the father send him to do. He said NO to all temptation to let go. This is He, Jesus of Nazareth, who ran the race to the end to win, who said over and over NO to the temptation of letting go, He is the author and the finisher of our faith and he is the one who said this : “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” Mark 8 Be willingly in the will of God. Step on your fear and step out. Step Out.
In prayer this early morning I saw a huge wave of wind. The wind came by sudden and literary caused people to be shifted and change direction. I sensed that it was the WIND OF CHANGE that will come by sudden and cause people to be shifted and change directions. When I saw it I wondered, Lord, is this you? So many will wonder when it comes if it is you, Lord. Is this you? Instantly, the Holy Spirit quickened Romans 8:28 to me "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose". I understood from the Lord that those who loves him and has been called according to his purposes all things will work for their good no matter what. Then the Lord quickened Peter walking on the water to me. Matthew 14:22-33 tells the story of the all-knowing Lord asking his disciple to get to the boat and go ahead of him to the other side while he went to pray. A fierce storm hit and the disciples were tormented by the wind and the waves for the winds were against the boat. Jesus went out to them before dawn and comforted them saying “Don’t be afraid, it is me”. Peter cried out and said “If it is you command me to come to you on water and Jesus said come”. Here is what happened next from the Holy Book (Matthew 14:29-33). Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Peter, being in the purpose of God for his life, hearing His master’s voice commanding him to come on water, received his miracle and walked on water. He stepped out while the wind is blowing against him and the boat, he stepped out and walked in his miracle. Fear hunted his heart and he sank but the Lord, who was there, saved him. When it is the Lord calling you to do something, it will work perfect against all odds for you are walking in his will and his purposes for your life. So when he calls you, step on your fear and step out for he is before you, behind you and all around. Receiving this from the Lord this morning, I remembered a vision I saw talking with a wonderful woman of God on the phone couple days ago. In the vision I saw a beautiful bride, opening the door of her prayer cabin and with so much cautious and while she was fighting her fear, she stepped with her right foot out of the cabin door, I heard the Lord saying “It is time to step out. It is time for your display. Step out”. The Lord said “I AM the one who commands the wind, the waves of the sea and the clouds. None of them will come with anything if I prevented them from it. I Am the one who sends the winds in its direction and lift up the waves with specific height and speed to do my will and accomplish my purposes. I AM the one who asks the storms to calm down, the waves to slow and the rain to stop and will do it all to serve my purposes and plans. The wind, the waves, the storms and the light are my servants ready to do my will any time I command them to. They are your servants when you command them in my name to do my will. I Am God almighty and I created all and everything for a purpose and a goal and I created the man and put him in charge over it all whenever he was with me before he gave his authority to his enemy. I AM restoring it back to you my children, the way it should be, the way I intended it to be. We are one whenever you are in me and whatever is mine is yours. I AM your portion. Acceleration is on us. The Lord God has a Pass through and a Pass
over in July and the second half of 2014. I saw a vision of a solider who just entered the room, his clothes had the dust of the battle on them. The minute he reached a chair, he threw himself on it powerless, so tired, weary and worn out. Looking at the solider I saw Isaiah 64 written on his chest. Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down! How the mountains would quake in your presence! As fire causes wood to burn and water to boil, your coming would make the nations tremble. Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame! When you came down long ago, you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations. And oh, how the mountains quaked! For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him! Isaiah 64:1-4 So many of us today are so tired and weary, looking up to heaven waiting on the Lord to come for our aid. The Lord works for those who wait for him, those who are calling his name. The Lord is coming with acceleration. He is going to pass through nations and he will execute judgment. At the same time and while he is passing through the Lord will pass over his people and execute justice. His people shall see his goodness in the Land of the living (Psalm 27:13). The Lord said in Amos 5:14-15 Do what is good and run from evil so that you may live! Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed. Hate evil and love what is good; turn your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will have mercy on the remnant of his people. “But let justice roll down like waters. And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Amos 5:24 The Lord is coming down with a Pass through and a Pass over For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you. And you shall observe this event as an ordinance for you and your children forever. When you enter the land which the Lord will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this rite. 26 And when your children say to you, What does this rite mean to you? you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the Lord who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes.’” And the people bowed low and worshiped. Exodus 12 :23-27 In Exodus 33 the Lord passed over Moses and showed him all of his goodness (God's Glory). Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.” Exodus 33:18-23 Who are those whom the Lord shall Pass over and show them his glory? While I was worshiping the Lord, I saw a vision of a mighty army standing in a cleft of a rock. The soldiers were in pure silver uniforms and the path that they came from was a very narrow path. Intense light was beaming out from them. The army was like a force of light marching, too much light to behold. Pondering what I was looking at, Gideon's story in Judges 7:7-25 was quickened. The Lord God asked Gideon to go down to the enemy's camp at night and listened to what they were telling each other. A dream has been discussed among them and the interpretation came "It is the sword of Gideon, God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands' 14". At the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. With Jars having torches within, trumpets and a shout in unity, Gideon and his warriors won their battle for the Lord. The Jars smashed and the light came out from the torches within so strong pushing the darkness out, combined with the sound of trumpets and a shout for the Lord and his mighty warrior. Their enemies fled while crying out. Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands. The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled. Judges 7:19-21 The Lord God is sending out a mighty army, a force of intense light to confront and kick back the darkness. This army has been kept in the cleft of the rock by the Lord until HE has his pass over them and show them his glory. They has been refined like silver in HIS refining fire, they sat with HIM on his table, they walk with him under his new covenant, they experienced the freedom of his love and the follow ship of his suffering, they chose the narrow path, held their crosses on their shoulders and walk after HIM without wavering or compromising and whenever persecuted they shine even brighter and with their light the battles will be won. It is TIME for their visitation and the fulfillment of God's promises over their lives. "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden." Matthew 5:14 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. Psalm 66:10 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, Malachi 3:3 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:14 Job restoration and the double portion. In Job 42, Job's turmoil came to an end and the Lord God vindicated him and brought HIM full restoration and promotion of double portions. The Lord came with fulfillment over Job and manifested Himself in front of him. So many of God's people will come into a place of fulfillment this year. Job 42:5 will be highlighted by God and understood in a different level by so many for they shall get to know God more intimately. God's goodness will lead so many to repentance and return. 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.' "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." The Lord said that the year 2014 is a year of Jubilee. A year of the Lord's favor over his church. Isaiah 61 was the chapter. Listen to these verses and rejoice. It is all yours in the Lord, Church. Receive his goodness and what he is doing in this season for HE shall bring it forth to fulfillment. Glory and Praise to His Holy Name. The Year of the Lord’s Favor The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards. And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he’ll do it! 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 The Lord is directing so many of his people into new assignments, new different tasks to do under the same spiritual gift. It may not be so clear in the natural right now but what the Lord is doing in the now moment is that He is changing us from the inside. He is working by the Holy spirit on our spiritual appetites to draw us away from one thing closer to another. If you are feeling like you are not satisfied right now with what you are doing it is not because it becomes a routine and you are bored but because of the Lord and his doing in changing your appetite to draw you to a different thing with the zeal and the excitement you need to accept the change and walk excitedly with it. Are you in this place right now ? Be ready in season and out of season to walk in your new assignment from the Lord. If he is calling you to this, he already enabled you. I encourage you to stand strong and say Yes Lord, Your will be done not mine in Jesus name. A sign of maturity in the Lord is not to fall in love of our ministry for HIM but to love HIM to do any ministry HE desires us to do accordingly with HIS perfect timing. Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction.2 Timothy 4:2 |
