“Guard and keep [with the greatest care] the precious and excellently adapted [Truth] which has been entrusted [to you], by the [help of the] Holy Spirit Who makes His home in us.” 2 Timothy 1:14 (Amplified)
In today’s ocean of impressions, leadings and even “Words from the Lord,” we need a precise plumb-line revelation that will keep us grounded and on course. The enemy desires to keep us groping along, handicapped by the spirit of this age and unable to find our way to the absolute Revelation of Jesus Christ. He knows that if he can blind us with confusion that we will spin our wheels and never advance toward the stature of a perfect man. This perfection will never be attained without an encounter with The Perfect Man, our Messiah and Savior, Yeshua, the Lord Jesus.
“We must allow ourselves to think out of the box of common thought and passionately seek to understand the Faith that was once delivered to the Saints.”
We must follow hard after the Lord in these shaking days and have our faith anchored in the Rock of Ages and not be moved by the circumstances of life that loom over us, like the dark rocky cliffs of an insurmountable range of mountains. We must allow ourselves to think out of the box of common thought and passionately seek to understand the Faith that was once delivered to the Saints.
“It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 1:3
Even with the uncertainties that we face in our world and the discouraging lack of spiritual preparation that so many church folks are making for the days ahead, I have some good news. There is a stirring in His remnant Bride around the world in this hour. We are being called up into a place of fresh vision for the days ahead. I am declaring that provision must be loosed now for the perpetuation (advancement, cultivation and upholding) of this hope-filled directive that is propelling us forward.
Shifted for Action
His Bride is about to receive the much-needed personal revelation of truths that have already been restored beginning a generation ago and have continued to this present hour. Sometimes we hear truths and we witness in our spirit that it is indeed truth but without a personal spir¬itual unveiling of those truths we somehow remain the same.
I believe that is about to change. I sense that we are about to be transformed from the inside out by many of the things that we already carry as knowledge but that have not yet made the shift from our heads to our hearts (spirits), to our feet. We need that shift now so that we can walk out the revelation that will bring us once again into His likeness and image and so that the Bride can have Her much anticipated revival. This Bride’s revival will initiate a harvest of souls around the world, as the raw power of God and His character will be fully manifested through Her.
“The Bride’s revival will initiate a harvest of souls around the world, as the raw power of God and His character will be fully manifested through Her.”
This shift will bring the application and appropriation of these truths. It will accelerate as we take time to see ourselves completely identified with the Lord Jesus and His ministry, that we are called to continue in these last days. My prayer for each of you is that you can receive a complete and perfect revelation of who He is and how you are identified in Him. I pray that you can see yourself as being a component of His great big plan for the end times and that you have been for a very, very long time.
Discovering Reserved Truth
I also believe that there are still truths that are hidden or at least partially reserved for a particular time such as this. These truths such as the revelation of the Seven Unknown Thunders and the complete understanding of the Seventh Seal have been kept until an hour when His Bride recognizes who She is and what She has been called to display and demonstrate before She is ushered to that great marriage feast on high.
Could it be that we are being shifted even now to a level of spiritual awareness that will cause us to discern with maturity the coming Fear of the Lord? As His Bride, we will not fear His wrath but there will be a new reverential fear that will capture our hearts as we are awed like never before by His love and faithfulness to us. This awe will cause us to want to walk before Him in deep humility while laying all pride and selfish ambition on the altar to be burned up by the fire of His holiness.
“The reality that we discover while drawn to His side will give us vision and divine strategies to move forward to see His Kingdom established on earth.”
This reverential fear will also draw us to His side like never before to lay our heads often on His chest in intimacy and to hear His heartbeat. There we discover His desires and plans, the things that cause Him the most pleasure and even the things that bring Him the most pain. The reality that we discover while drawn to His side will give us our vision and divine strategies to move forward to see His Kingdom established on earth. I believe that His whispered “love secrets” will continue to bring light to truths that we have desired to understand.
“But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.” 1 John 2:5
Purity in the House
I perceive that the Fear of the Lord will also be manifested in other ways. I am reminded often of something Brother William Branham spoke about during his ministry, an hour when the Holy Ghost would work among us as He did in the book of Acts.
In a sermon entitled Adoption he said:
“When the church begins to get in its mighty power, when we have an Ananias and Sapphira and a few of them. You will see when that holy church stands together in its power, positionally placed as sons of God, adopted into the family of God. Powerful Church standing there in its glory. Oh, that is what He is coming for.” Adoption
And again in the last sermon that he preached before going home to be with the Lord he said:
“You know, the hour will soon arise when right among us will be, the Holy Spirit will speak out like it did in Ananias and Sapphira. See, that hour is arriving… You just remember that: God is going to dwell among His people…” Communion (Dec. 12, 1965)
The days of exaggerating experiences and fleshly hype need to end. We need to walk before the Lord in true humility and purity of heart with honesty and integrity. I believe that we are approaching a time when we will not get by with things that we have gotten by with in the past. The bar is being raised and the Holy Ghost will work among us as in days of old, revealing sin and exposing lies. This will usher in a very serious time of cleansing among us just before we are thrust forward to complete the Bride’s mandate.
Redemption by Provision
We are approaching the season of Passover, a time to remember how God provided a way of redemption for His people to bring them out of slavery and into the Promised Land.
In this season, let us also rejoice that He has made provision for our total redemption and that we too as His end-time Bride will be led again by the Pillar of Fire to cross our wilderness. He has provided the Way and we will Pass-Over into our promises in these coming days! We have so much to celebrate! I have so much more that I would like to share but I will save that for another time.
