I hear the Lord saying my people are soft. They say they want to be a city on a hill but they fail to praise me in the midst of their hardship. They give me no thanksgiving though I have thoroughly blessed them. They cringe at the idea of persecution and suffering as if the earth is not in travail.
Awaken my people for visitation is near. The day of the lord is a defining time. You want the blessings of heaven but you have not endured well the battle that has been waged against you. The enemy mocks because my people are soft.
Do you not remember how I jouneyed with my people through the wilderness to raise up a generation that would cross over. Where are my Joshuas and Calebs for the coming days.
My people believe the days of peace are a challenge and yet I say awaken and shine for your light has come. The time of harvest is near and each one must concern themselves with my times. Let not each one think to himself only for his family. For this is your time to shine brightly with compassion and bold exploits. The stranger stands in the harvest field. Do you see him? Do not forget those I place within your path for self preservation is not your portion. I am your strong tower.
If you love me you will do as I say. If you love your life more than me then you will miss the greatness that is in store for my bride. She is emerging, do you see her?
This is not a day to lift up the sword as a first response. It is the day for my peacemakers to arise in the midst of war. Lift up praise and a shout in the midst hardship, give thanks in the time of lack for truly I will sustain you. Think like the ant who prepares in summer.
Your leanness is in preparation for the days ahead. Do not despise my shakings. Stop murmuring and complaining. Go with me. Think rightly for now is the time to arise and build. Now is the time to build barns and create supply for the coming season. Now is a time to store up and prepare for a war season. Now is the time to gird up and tell your soul to shut up. Now is a time for the sickle and the sower to meet.
If you miss my visitation you also miss out on your inheritance. I am in the midst of the shaking. Be seated upon my Kingdom so that you have a place of stability and surety. Seek my Kingdom first. Arise with your brothers and build in the midst of chaos. See my hand in the shaking and move with my Spirit.
Let my grace take you to a deeper level of resolve. Access the deep and gain grace to overcome in the midst of the confusion.
Rise up and pursue the things I challenge you to do. New seasons require new things. Get out of your old process of thinking for lo the new has come. Those who perceive it will flourish in the midst of the whirlwind for they are anchored in me and their righteous acts done by faith do follow them. For eye has not seen but your spirit knows what is coming. Rise above emotion and a spirit of hope deferred and gain strength by my Spirit to pravail.
This next season defines your last stretch. Do not shrink back into what feels comfortable because comfort is fleeting. Simply obey and your lamps will be full in the times of visitation.
Galatians 6:9-10 (KJV)
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Jeremiah 12:5 (KJV)
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
