Believers Beware There Remains A Prepared Place In The Midst
Believers Beware There Remains A Prepared Place In The Midst
Chaos - Place of confusion, emptiness, waste, desolation, void - sinking into obscurity, becoming nothingness, falling prey to weakness. Isaiah 24:10 “10 The city of confusion is broken down; Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.”
It seems as if every day we are gifted with life, someone loses their life to some sort of evilness!
God, Our Father, Who art in Heaven - He has spoken to me a message to instruct His People and encourage you to remain aware of His Glory, His Power, His Faithfulness and His Love, in this season!
Isaiah 24:13 (NKJV) 13 When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people, It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, Like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
We are entering into a season that will require you to hold on tight, because the chaos will be intense and if you are not tightly coupled with His Word, your grip may be loosened!
God is sending a message to the remnant that will remain after this shaking - “Like the shaking of an olive tree. . .” Only a few will remain in tact - Yes, I know you want to shake the tree to gather the fruit for nourishment, but God wants us to know that you must remain in tact in order to receive the proper nourishment so that you will be ripen when the time of harvesting arrives!
The chaos will be intense, and your imagination will be as of Job 10 “1 “My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with me. 3 Does it seem good to You that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked? 4 Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as man sees? 5 Are Your days like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man, 6 That You should seek for my iniquity And search out my sin, 7 Although You know that I am not wicked, And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand? 8 ‘Your hands have made me and fashioned me, An intricate unity; Yet You would destroy me. 9 Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay. And will You turn me into dust again? 10 Did You not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese, 11 Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews? 12 You have granted me life and favor, And Y…”
God told me to let you know that you will have to remain in The Safety of His Word - You are going to have to allow your ear to be pierced with an Awl, to the voice that is proclaiming His Word!
In order for sheep to eat, there must be peace and an assurance of safety - “He leads me besides the still waters. . .” Any disturbance that disrupts the stillness of the water, sends a current that will attempt to disrupt the peace, but God says; “Do not allow the Chaos to hinder you - God has prepared a place for you in the midst of the Chaos! Genesis 45:7-12 “7 And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 9 “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph: “God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not tarry. 10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have. 11 There I will provide for you, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine.” ’ 12 “And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaks to you.”
In these times ahead, God is saying that you will have to be so consistent in your commitment to His Word - And you will be able to remain in The Peace & Safety, regardless of the chaos happening all around you!
He told me to tell you that we must beware of those lying spirits, while the chaos is happening, there will be those lying spirits trying to use you and push you up to removing your focus from The Peace & Safety of God’s Word! 2 Chronicles 18:20-22 “20 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ 21 So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ 22 Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.””
God knows all and sees all - There is nothing hidden from Our Father - So He sent me here on assignment this morning to encourage you during these dark days!
I have been there, just recently this week, where I wanted to allow my heart to be troubled, but then I came to myself and realize that if I allow that to trouble my peace, I would not be here right now!
These lying spirits will have you wondering about your purpose and your future due to the chaos! Believer Beware!
God has put an end to the City of Confusion - Do not adhere to those lying spirits! Although this chaos can bring a level of darkness that will attempt to diminish your vision, but you are settled in The Light because I have heard His Word declared to me - 1 John 1:5 “5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”
The darkness want to convince you that there is no place for you to because your visibility is limited in the natural due to the chaos!
But God has gone before us and Made The Way clear for us!
It did not make sense to the disciples that Jesus tarry a while when He knew that Lazarus was sick - But God sent His Word before He arrived John 11: 3-4 “3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” 4 When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.””
God’s Word Always Works - when you have pierced your ear to The Word of God - Nothing will be able to pull you away; therefore, before you go forth, you always seek His Presence!
Jehoshaphat would not go forth into Ramoth Gilead until he entered The Presence of God and got instructions on how to proceed!
Stop allow the chaos to influence your decisions!
Don’t allow those lying spirits to tell you that you can’t - when God says “Yes, You Can!”
The sisters sent word to Christ, appealing to His Heart, and Jesus sent His Word to them prophetically, letting them know; “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it!”
God told me to tell you - As long as you give Him the Glory; He will give you The Deliverance!
He knows you are frustrated, but He is going to get The Glory out of it all! Doxa - a state of being bright!
When God gets the glory - He will illuminate around you, guarding you and protecting you from all the chaos!
The intended evil to Joseph but God turned it for their good - The chaos is only an announcement to The Glory of God that will be revealed right now! You don’t have to concern yourself with the level of chaos going on around you, God told me to let you know that you are in: Goshen - A place cultivated by God, prepared for His People to be at peace in the midst of Chaos!
It is not that we are here to stay away from the chaos, but to encourage others to come into the place of Goshen!
Peace!
The Chaos won’t hinder me - I must go forth for He has given us the Spirit of Power, Love and Sound Mind!
