Warriors of the Morning: Wait
May 2, 2008
Rejoice! Rejoice! For I AM God. Let
your joy be uncontained. Let your
heart soar. Rejoice with Me for I am
tempering My people like fine steel,
like a sword of the Spirit, and
preparing them for heavenly war.
They shall be an army like the world
has never seen, Warriors of the
Morning.
Therefore, come along with Me
and see, see the ranks
forming up, see the victory already
won, see the culmination of the
preparation for the reign of our
Lord, Jesus Christ. For Satan has a
great battle outlined but your God
has a greater battle planned. No
casualties, no spilled blood, for it
has already been shed, already
spilled. No skirmishes lost. This
people will march side by side,
faces set like flint, eyes straight
ahead, and will be invincible in Me.
But you must wait. My army is
not yet ready. We must not allow the
enemy to precipitate the battle
before its moment, before its
instant, before its moad
(Hebrew word, which means "appointed
time"). So therefore I ask you to
see with the eyes of faith the army
forming up and rejoice with Me, for
I need your rejoicing now. Let Me
drink at the brook of your praise.
Psalm 110: 3a Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in the beauty of holiness, and in holy array, out of the womb of the morning.
Psalm 110:7 He will drink of the brook by the way; therefore will He lift up His head (triumphantly).
Lay
Down Your Old Cloak to Take Up the New
April 23, 2008
Now go, My child, into a new phase, a
new "era," if you please, even a new
dispensation of God's grace, doing a new
thing. Old things have passed away; the
old lifestyle is gone. It is
removed from you like a cloak or garment
and a new one is held out for you to put
on. It takes a choice. You must utterly
lay down the old one (even your identity
is laid down with it) in order to take
up the new.
The new cloak will reveal itself
progressively in brilliance but it will
be a humble ,brown garment at first,
like rough burlap,. It might chafe and
seem uncomfortable and it might not rest
well upon your shoulders and neck. But
if you wear it humbly, in its humility,
it will begin to shine and soften and
settle comfortably upon your shoulders.
Now in this key time of transition,
your decision and choices are critical.
You are very much in My hands. Now is
the time for wisdom, My child, for
pressing in to Me for the absolutely
right choices. It is no time for
lightly-made decisions, no
trivially-based choices, but for
serious, sober consideration in a time
of critical importance for you in the
spirit.
Testing in the Crucible of My Love
April 8, 2008
Be Mine! Be Mine forever! Be all Mine,
My bride, My beloved one. Be tested and
true, found reliable in the crucible of
My love. For all love receives its test,
and yours is no different. But since it
is the love between the bride and her
Savior it is tested in the hottest
fires, for it must endure in perfection
for all eternity.
Beloved, do not be amazed and
bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is
taking place to test your love but
rejoice, so that when the Bridegroom's
glory is revealed you also may rejoice
with triumph. You will share His glory.
You will walk in His shining radiance.
You will gaze full upon His face and go
from glory to glory in knowing Him. You
will share His every thought and flow
with Him in His every action and
initiative. You will be one with Him, a
holy and awesome calling that does not
come without cost.
Do not fix your gaze on this
momentary light affliction for it yields
for you a weight of glory. Fix your gaze
on Him during this fiery trial, and that
locked gaze of two beings sharing and
transforming their hearts with one
another shall last for all eternity. And
that "knowing" (intimate love-sharing)
will ever increase.
1 Peter 1: 6-7 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
