The Lord led me to Ezekiel chapters 43-45 the Glory of God returns and the great altar is restored. The priesthood and Israel is fully restored please read when you can.
God has also been speaking that it’s the season of Esther – Hadassah and the season of David vs Goliath where strong enemies and demonic strongholds must come down and turn around just like they did for Israel through the felling of the giant Goliath and through Esther and Mordecai. Read the book of Esther and 1 Samuel 17
All our enemies must come down by using GODS WORD. Like David we must come against the enemy speaking Gods word
1 Samuel 17:45-46 NIV
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
The purpose of our victory is so that the whole world will see God and glorify His name and follow Him and His ways
Matthew 5:16 NIV
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Miracles are going to take place as we learn to wait patiently upon the Lord also for some the wait is over and as we develop deep intimate relationships with God the Father, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and the Word of God knowing it and living it
At church on Sunday I listened to a powerful word on WAITING here goes my paraphrase and added on revelation as I have waited on the Lord
Prophet Habbakuk chose to address God on unfulfilled promises like we do! Some of us need to start there? Address our questions to God. We question every one but God and those that do question God are usually threatening Him? So take a step back and formulate good WHY Questions to the Lord Himself after all He has the answers .., It’s like shopping at one store and paying in another .. Anyway I digress she went on to paint the Waiting picture
Profound revelation that God is not interested in our final destination-fulfillment of promise or request but in the process and how the process affects and changes us!!!
God works on promises with TIMING and the time between the asking and fulfillment is KEY to His purpose so that we grow and are changed by the WAITING TIME the in between time and Bishop TD Jakes has taught about the In Between places in His Instinct series
Habbakuk started with the prayer we usually make How long Lord? Why do you stand and do nothing?
Habakkuk 1:2 NIV
How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save?
The Lords answer is to raise Babylonisns the enemy against His chosen people haiyaaa to chastise (rebuke or reprimand severely) them
Habakkuk 1:5-6 NIV
“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwellings not their own.
Again Habbakuk like us asks God are you not able to destroy this enemy?
Read Habbakuk 1:12-17
Then Habbakuk decides to pray to stand at His Watch and then the lord answers .. Change of Strategy .. We need to change our strategy
Habakkuk 2:1-3 NIV
I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
This scripture reminded me of several more.. Stand still and see the deliverance of God from your enemies, the enemies you See today you will never see them again, when you have done all to stand then stand!
I have been hearing the song Keep on moving in my spirit for real keep on moving and as you move through the process be attentive, be alert, journal, think through the vision the end picture what it is meant to look like envision it as you undergo process and write it down! Ask what changes you need to make and so on? Move the focus off the problem or situation and to you! In the PLF manual we have explained process using the making of the Samurai Sword. The end product is beautiful rare and a masterpiece! That will be you and me when God is done with the process of waiting and working in and through us so that we reflect Christ in all His glory. Thank God the finished works of Christ enables us to tap into His Grace for us as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus then we can say like Paul my life is not my own to you I belong
Galatians 2:20 NIV
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
In the waiting times you need to SEE the deliverance as in Isaiah 43:18-19 perceive (see) the new thing we must become aware or conscious of, come to realize or understand the new thing that God is doing in us and through us and then write it down so that there is no reliance on memory but on the God given download that has lots of details that we do not want to miss eg PRADA and PLADA remember the counterfeit looks very much like the real thing
I See the Lord High and lifted up which brings me back to Ezekiel 43
Ezekiel 43:2 NIV
and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.
God does not respond to murmurs or complaints He responds to His Word
1 Peter 5:6-10 NIV
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
Like I said it’s a season of restoration and the process-waiting time is to grow your faith and make you strong, firm and steadfast
1 Samuel 17:45-47 NIV
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
For every situation we are facing there is a WORD in the bible you can stand on in faith and speak to it and let God decide the timing of the fulfillment of the promise so we don’t birth Ishmael’s amongst other things
It’s the season of Letting Go as well the theme for our Unstuck conference 2015 on Saturday 8th August
Waiting is an expression of FAITH
Hebrews 11:1 NIV
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Sight again evidence of what we do not see but know that we shall see it come to pass. The vision is for an appointed TIME it will not tarry but come to pass
Habakkuk 2:3 NIV
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
Wait for it .. Process and time ..though there is a delay WAIT and this requires grace and we are in the season of Amazing Grace.. Triple grace 2015
The waiting time is birthing Gods purposes, character, integrity, likeness in us
Galatians 6:9 NIV
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Finally in Waiting there are SEASONS the bible states that there is seed time and harvest time. Time in between planting the seed and reaping the harvest as the SEED undergoes process and the teacher demonstrated that when we plant the seed the first sign of life and proof that something is happening is the sprouting of a blade then the plant or tree fully shows up so WAIT be patient and when you have done all stand and SEE the deliverance of God
Once you plant the seed you have to trust -have faith that it is going through a process that will cause it to produce and God to has FAITH that your growing and being changed through the process so you produce for Him and His Purpose in you is fulfilled
John 12:24 NIV
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
Wait with expectation there is an expected end (FAITH) and go not grow weary
Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
