I Am causing you to look to the bright star.  The brightest star that could ever be seen, you have and I Am illuminating myself even more. 

 
Good morning,
 
    The brightest shining star is the Northern Star.  It is the polar star.  It is the star that people looked for to help navigate. 
 
    I Am causing you to look to the bright star.  The brightest star that could ever be seen, you have and I Am illuminating myself even more.  Ships that have been weary from trying to cross and navigate the oceans of their lives have come to Me and now they see clearly brighter than they ever have before. Now they are following the direction and the course that I planned for their lives. They are harkening to the brightness, the illumination which can only come as they become intercessors, worshipers, as they become those who praise Me without ever stopping, without ever ceasing. They have come to know it is not based on circumstances and situations.  Even when the fog of living and the storms of life come upon you, this great bright illuminating star in your life shines stronger to cause you to know the where, the when, and the how. Your attentiveness will cause your directions to be heard clearly. You will not falter between two opinions any longer for even as you praise and give Me thanksgiving, and have an attitude of gratitude and being thankful for everything that I have given you, you will excel.  Then the brightness shall begin to be illuminated exponentially.  You will come out of that fog of darkness, that the storms of life have tried to push upon you and you will know the direction, and every instruction will be easy to follow.  You will know exactly what I Am speaking to your heart.  You will hear Me once again, as you used to when you were younger when you enjoyed the freshness of knowing Me as Abba.  But because of the cares of this world and the things of life that have caused your ears to become cloudy and dark unto My words, now you are beginning to see and hear and understand, and you are coming back to your Father.  You are coming back to the lover of your heart and as you do, you will soar.  You will not be going at the same speed that you did when you were first born again, but I Am causing you to excel into new levels, new heights, and deeper places in Me.  The times and the seasons are short and I need you to come up to where I need you to be.  And I will speak to you, and you will say "yes" to Me.  There will no longer be any confusion of whether or not it was Me, for you will know Me, you will hear Me and you will obey Me.  These are the days that we are in says the Lord, and I have brought you this far, for a purpose that you might outshine every other light around about you that have given themselves to complacency and to the love of this world. You will step out and do the things I have called you to do, and you will be so anointed, that you will draw others to come to.  And they will hook to you, many will stay and many will not because you will be going at a speed that is uncompromising and therefore uncomfortable in this world.
 
    Come with me.  Come with me.  I love everyone that you love.  I Am concerned about everyone that you are concerned about, but many of them can cause you not to hear Me. They can cause you to miss Me, by being too occupied.  Come with Me, and I will be faithful to everyone you love, that is Who I Am. That is what I will do. I Am faithful.

I have placed a line, a boundary line.  Those who are for Me will come on My side.  Those who are against Me, their words cause them to go on the other side.

 
Good morning, 
 
    I have placed a line, a boundary line.  Those who are for Me will come on My side.  Those who are against Me, their words cause them to go on the other side.  There is a remnant that has arisen from the ashes of destruction.  They have refused to alter the words that I have placed in their mouth.  They have stayed the course that I laid out for them to walk.  Earlier in their walk, they made a decision to follow Me all the way and not to bend to popular opinion by the voices of their generation.  They decreed a thing and deep in their hearts they knew it would come to pass, their declarations were over their families, over their nation, over their church, and over their own lives.  This remnant was forged in the fires of affliction, tests, and trials.  They have allowed the pressing, purification, and consecration, that I was doing to make them who they are.  I knew that they would.  I knew that they would submit to My making of them as the righteous remnant.  Because of this, when the beginning of sorrows started they were prepared and able to stand, knowing full well that this would be our finest hour.  It is the finest hour for grace, grace, and more grace.  The finest hour for My glory to abound over My people submitted to My word and to My hand.  Even when they did not understand every single thing, every single stroke that was done by My masterful hand they yielded anyway.  They have delighted in My presence and in My pleasure.  They have learned how to abound, and yet how to be abased.  They have kept themselves stirred up when the fires were dying down all around them they stirred themselves up.  They remained faithful, trustworthy and dependable, to My calling.  This is the time of lifting up all those who have humbled themselves before Me.  You know what I speak of.  You have come up higher, you have made a choice and you have experienced being seated with Me in heavenly places. 
 
    I have spoken secret things in the quiet times that we have enjoyed.  Stay and remain underneath My shadow and there will be nothing that will move you and because you have stay underneath My shadow, you will develop wings, and others shall come and rest under your shade.  You have developed the roots necessary to stand in any storms as they arise.  Yes, there are supernatural storms arising and I have told you before, yet you are stable in the position that you are in, and you will rise above all storms.  Your bold decrees have already gone out ahead of you and made a clear path for you to walk on.  You will not fail, you will not fall, you will know Me deeper, know that I Am faithful, know that I am trustworthy, and dependable.  I Am the Almighty, your Abba, your daddy.  I have spoken these things and brought them to pass in your life.  Watch, watch, and come see afresh and anew the things I Am doing.  Watch and know that I Am faithful to My Word.  I will do even those things that you have stood and believed for years and have not seen, I will do them.  You will know that I am your Father and that I care about everything that concerns you, and I will bring those things to pass.
 
    "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands." (Ps. 138:8)
 
    "I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance.  I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want." (Phil. 4:12)
 
    "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways." (Job 22:28)

This is the season that I will turn things around for you My children.  Those who have not bowed their knee to Baal.

123582
 
Good morning,
 
    This is the season that I will turn things around for you My children.  Those who have not bowed their knee to Baal.  They will experience such an encounter with Me they have never known.  You have longed to come into Me and know My secrets, to know My thoughts, to know My heart and because you did not bow when others bowed before Baal, when other gave up their lives to Baal, when others gave up their walk to Baal, you have vowed not to and because you have been faithful, I remain faithful.  I will see to it that every promise that I have given you shall come to pass before you come to meet Me at the end.  I will do those things that I have promised you for I Am faithful, and as a token of My love and affection towards you and to you, I will be strong in the midst of you and you will know that I Am your Father.  I have heard every prayer and every request that you made known to Me.  I have already sent My angel out, understand, on your behalf to see to it.  This is the time of reaping for those who have sown in My kingdom.  The whole world is crying out, moaning, groaning, and travailing for the sons and daughters of the Most High God to be revealed and you have made up in your heart and mind to be revealed, and because you have done so I will do so. I look throughout the whole earth seeking some who are faithful to Me and I have found some, and I Am faithful to you.  I have not forgotten one thing that you have done in My name, those are the seeds that I Am causing to multiply in your life.  The rest of the non-productive seeds I have cursed to the ground, because of My mercy on your life, but from this moment on only declare those things that I declare for I Am watching over My Word now.  I Am watching over My Word now and that is what I will perform, My Word.  Mercy, I have given mercy, I Am giving more mercy now to you, to those who do not deserve mercy.  But I Am watchful and mindful of everything that you do.  From this moment on, says the Lord, you will walk wholeheartedly.
 
    "But what was the revelation God spoke to him in response?  You are not alone.  For I have preserved a remnant for myself—seven thousand others who are faithful and have refused to worship Baal.” (Rom. 11:4)
 
    "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]. (1 Corin. 15:58)
 
    "Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it." (Jer. 1:12)

 I have had the same dream three times.  It was about bombs exploding, but unlike the other two dreams, this time the bombs were sent on a particular mission,

 
Good morning,
 

    I have had the same dream three times.  It was about bombs exploding, but unlike the other two dreams, this time the bombs were sent on a particular mission, they did not just explode in the air.  I did not know what it meant the other two times, but this time it was clear that they were sent on direct destruction of obvious things.  It was destroying or demolishing targets of the obvious.  It attacked our idols, our lovers.  And so, I saw us again, out in the streets as if going about our daily lives, shopping, going to the mall, on our phones, texting, and just being busy, busy people, because we are always "doing" something.  And I saw the bombs going straight to our grocery stores, destroying phones, it hit the mall, places of entertainment, it hit our TVs and our telephones, our iPads and everything that we love so much that we think we can not exist without them.   
 
    And then God said, I have allowed these bombs to destroy all other lovers.  Lovers, whether people, electronics, shopping, habits, pleasures, all those things that distract from keeping your heart and affection from Me.  I Am God and there must be no other lovers before Me.  I Am causing your lovers to reject you, and turn their backs on you.
 
    My people have become complacent content and comfortable, with the distractions and the drawings of this world.  I will not allow this any longer.  It is I, that have loved you and carried you through.  I have let this go on waiting for you to come back and put Me first.  My lovers have become cold to My voice and My touch.  They do not respond to My Word as they did when they were young.  They have made a religion out of serving Me, begrudgingly they serve from a place of familiarity.
 
    Many false prophets have gone out to twist and make a heresy out of My Word, further confusing those who are beguiled by distractions of the age.  My people should know Me by now, they should discern between what is good and evil.  Yet I remain faithful for I have sent to you My prophets, they have My Word of warning and counsel.  Just like the Old Testament, my people destroyed my prophets.  They have attacked them with words and discounted them, but yet they love the false prophets who speak swelling words.  My prophets have been sounding My alarm to say wake up and see the signs, they have started to draw your attention back to Me.  Look and see, some have remained faithful, but even some of them that have been faithful, have allowed their oil to dry up.  Return to your first love Gomer!  I Am shaking all that can and must be shaken.  The first shaking was a wake-up call.  Arise and shine My beloved. 
 
    The next call is for those who love Me to once again be watchmen.  There is coming another shaking.  My own house has become a place of entertainment and a marketplace.  My house is and must always be a house of prayer.  I Am shaking My house, everything that has been set up by man that is done in My name, but I say it is not in My name.  The shaking will come to place you, My children back in a position of power, you will find it as you lay prostrate before Me.  Your prayers will be those of authority igniting the fire as a power that lies within you, you will arise from the first position to a place of greater power.  Humility in waiting for Me is never wasted, here I will cause you in the place of humility to hear My voice and a stranger you will not follow.  Wait on Me, I will come and answer, you will see where I Am taking you My beloved.  The path is still narrow it has never changed, but here you are made stronger in the narrow place by clearing out the fields of other lovers.  Do not fear what is coming upon the face of the earth these things must be.  I Am stepping in now to overthrow, tear down and destroy the avenues of other lovers, so that I may build you up again with your passion for Me.  Remember your first love, and look and see how far you will have fallen. This is to alert you, My children, so that you may see for yourself if you are in My faith, for only those who love Me, hear and obey Me.  Those who are faithful, I say remain faithful, but make sure your faithfulness is in Me and not in self-righteousness, and be strong in your passion for Me.  Just remember that I always love you and that I Am for you, and I Am bringing you out.  In the times that are ahead, you will not need to worry about what to do for I will be your Father the provider in great and difficult times, for I Am your Abba.
 
    “She will [passionately] pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them.  Then she will say, ‘Let me go and return to my first husband, For it was better for me then than now!’ (Hos. 2:7)
 
    "On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed and stationed watchmen (prophets), Who will never keep silent day or night; You who profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves," (Is. 62:6)
 
    "Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints (God’s people) on the golden altar in front of the throne.  And the smoke and fragrant aroma of the incense, with the prayers of the saints (God’s people), ascended before God from the angel’s hand." (Rev. 8:3-4)
 
    "But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me].  So remember the heights from which you have fallen, and repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, your sinful behavior—seek God’s will] and do the works you did at first [when you first knew Me]; otherwise, I will visit you and remove your lampstand (the church, its impact) from its place—unless you repent." (Rev. 2:4-5)

You are about to cause yourself to move towards your deep collected places of fresh springs. 

 
Good morning,
 
    You are about to cause yourself to move towards your deep collected places of fresh springs.  You have in you the compelling force of My Spirit to extract wellsprings of health, joy, deliverance, aid, victory, and prosperity.  A bubbling up of something that has been saved just for you is about to spill over into your life, which will cause you to proceed into new ways.  Sounds will be heard from heaven, as all heaven joins in with Me singing over you with songs of deliverance.  We will rejoice over all that you have persevered through trials and triumphed over them while you stood regardless.  This sound is supernatural in fact it will break and crush walls.  Walls that have kept you out and walls that were used against you to hem you in.  The force of the sound heard from heaven mixed with your very own voice will bring down all mammoth walls.  The crashing of the walls will create a breeze.  Feel the breeze!  I will begin to blow upon you this day also.  Stand in the exhaled breath of your Father and breathe in your new life.  The new life that is full of ideas, giftings, and anointings, for the faithful who have withstood the darts of the enemy and have come forth with unprecedented valor.  I have brought you by a way that you did not know, a way of Holiness, it is My highway.  Those who walk there are changed, transitioning into beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  Those who yield to this transition are truly righteous.  As you stand in the winds of My Holy transcendence you will find renewed visions and callings, revived dreams, and restored giftings.  You will not come behind in anything.  I Am ushering into your life double in your new levels, double in your new beginnings, double in your new days.  I Am continuing to build upon the old foundations that I laid in you to bring up a stronger, fixed, and immovable you.  I have blown you onto the right course, so get down running!  Run, run, for your goal is ever set before you.
 
    “Behold, God, my salvation!  I will trust and not be afraid, For the Lord God is my strength and song; Yes, He has become my salvation.”  Therefore with joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation." (Is. 12:2-3)
 
    "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us," (Heb. 12:1)
 
    "Instead of your [former] shame you will have a double portionAnd instead of humiliation your people will shout for joy over their portion.  Therefore in their land they will possess double [what they had forfeited]; Everlasting joy will be theirs." (Is. 61:7)

 I will fill you fresh and anew every time you come to Me.  I desire to take you places in Me that make you soar.

Good morning,
 
    I will fill you fresh and anew every time you come to Me.  I desire to take you places in Me that make you soar.  I desire for you to know Me in a vast way.  There is a limitless supply that I have to give to you, so much that I have to reveal to you, but I Am looking and waiting for the emptiness within so that I can fill you.  Know that every time you come empty and ask Me, I will heal you of all hurts, but you must clear yourself of all aughts, of all the things that the world daily loads you with.  If you would just free yourself every time that you come I will fill you afresh and anew giving you revelation and insight.  Helping you to know things ahead of time and be prepared to go through the things that you are standing on.  You will how to come out victorious, and be able to maneuver your way through the snares and the pitfalls of the enemy that he tries to trap you with every day.  This is My design and My plan for My children to continually be victorious over every circumstance and situation.  And it is only accomplished as you fill yourself with more and more of Me, emptying yourself completely of all that stunts your growth.  So this is a continual process, it is not a one-time thing that you do, it is every day filling yourself with more of My Word. You become rooted as you do My Word.  For every day you face
 
 
new challenges, situations, and circumstances that arise in your life that you may have never encountered before, but I have gone this way, and I know the pathway and I know how to succeed at every turn.  So put your trust in Me and empty yourself once again so that I might fill you with freshness, newness, power, strength and abilities, and might and the giftings that will carry you through.  My gifts of Holy Spirit that I have placed in every individual to help them, the gift of faith, to help you walk in miracles, healings, and to help you be sensitive to discern, and walk in wisdom and receive knowledge and be victorious.  It is My desire and My plan for My children to always love being full of Me.  Always longing for more of Me, to be desperate, hungry, and thirsty for it is those that are filled to the full.  So come empty, hungry, thirsty, and I will fill you to overflowing so that you might have enough for this day.  That is why I said that I will supply your daily bread, so that you desire Me daily.  I will fill you this day for everything that is needed is found in Me.  I Am your daily Bread.
 
    "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread." (Matt. 6:10-11)
 
    "Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time)." (John 6:35)
 
    "For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good." (Ps. 107:9)

 I hearken to the cry of My children and I will cause you to hear Me clearly, to know more of Me, and to go deeper.

 
Good morning,
 
    I hearken to the cry of My children and I will cause you to hear Me clearly, to know more of Me, and to go deeper. I have taken your tears and I have placed every one of them in a bottle, and I said in My word that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.  Your morning of joy has come.  For I saw your tears and I turned those tears that I placed in a bottle as a seed, and I caused that seed to come back as a harvest of joy.  I Am causing the seasons of joy to come into your life, even in the midst of a desperate and dying world.  My people will experience a new level of joy and peace.  It will not be known by your laughter, it is not known by joviality it will be by the constant current of peace and joy that lies within you.  Your love for Me causes you to live in My great peace.  
    This new level moves you past every circumstance and situation because of knowing Me intimately.  I Am for you, and I Am working all things out for your good, no matter what it looks like.  For My word tells you over and over again, that I Am working, I Am preparing My best.  It is not based on the circumstances that you actually see, it is based on the consistency and faithfulness of My word.  I watch over my word to perform it on your behalf, and I will do exactly what I said I will do on your behalf because you cry out daily and I hear your prayer.
    I Am answering you now.  There is nothing that you have spoken to Me in the secret place that I have not taken to heart.  I Am working on the answer on your behalf, and even though at times, it seems like I Am still, and I Am silent, and I Am not moving, I Am moving.  I Am working those things out for you, for I know the answer, and I know the way, and I Am bringing the desired results to pass.  All I want you to do is to continue to believe, trust, and rejoice in Me, for I Am the answer.  There is nothing that is too impossible for Me to put My words to and cause a turnaround for your good.  So stand and see the salvation of your God.  I will bring it to pass, your tears and your faith have brought forth the harvest.  There is so much that I have to reveal and make known to you.  You will see as you rest in My joy and peace.
 
    "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore." (Ps 16:11)
 
    "Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble." (Ps. 119:165)
 
    "And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose." (Rom. 8:28)
 
    "Those who sow their tears as seeds will reap a harvest with joyful shouts of glee. They may weep as they go out carrying their seed to sow, but they will return with joyful laughter and shouting with gladness as they bring back armloads of blessing and a harvest overflowing!" (Ps. 126:5-6)

There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place.  Some were slightly out of order, others were totally crooked. 

Break-down-your-barriers
 
Good morning,
 
    There are things in your life that I Am about to cause to fall into place.  Some were slightly out of order, others were totally crooked.  I Am releasing into your life new strategies to help you overcome.  What may look like "failure and the end" is only a door opening to new plans to shift you into your large place.  This will be a time of acceleration in those areas where it seemed that the "spiritual vultures" were circling.  The old strategies and tactics that you tried to follow, because they worked for someone else, yet they never worked for you, have finally been released from your heart and hands.  You have cried out to Me, and better still, you waited on Me to reveal to you My steps for you.  Now
stay in the position of having your neck stretched out in anticipation of the surprises and tokens that I have for My obedient ones.  Breakthrough, advancement, and improvements will arise in every area of your life that you have yielded to Me.  Many of My people will be loosed from conditions where they have been held captive in their lives.  Conditions where you may have sensed that you have lost your purpose and your call, here I will renew your joy of serving and loving Me.  I will amplify your sensitivity to My gifts.  You will begin to operate from a high place of the Spirit in your day-to-day lives, for you are My temple.  As you yield daily to the gifts, you will hear Me lead you in the way that you should go.  Opportunities will be easily attainable and the limits have been lifted that kept you bound, for you have been found faithful.  Barriers that kept you from stepping over into the territory that I have already given you, will be blown over.  Listen, for I will speak in the night seasons as well as when you walk by the way through dreams, visions, and by the light of My Word.
    
    All of these precious promises I will do for you because you have obeyed My voice and did not choose your own way over Mine.  I Am promoting in-House as well as in the market places, all that have sought after Me in a dry and weary place.  Those who have pressed after the Kingdom, when others ran to the world, because of tests, trials, and tribulations.  I Am always rewarding the faithful and those who endure in Me.  Shame shall be the promotion of fools, those who do not choose obedience.  Most of all, you will be revived in your relationship with Me.  Arise My love, and take part in the fragrance of your Lover.  I Am dropping to you sweet dew from heaven to refresh you for the days ahead.  As all things begin to fall in place, remember I have given you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  Through you, I Am building up the ruined places and raising up the places of devastation, so that I may be glorified and that you may be known as My minister of righteousness.
 
    "Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death]. Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did." (1 Corin. 10:5-6)
 
    "As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord [as His messengers and representatives]. You know we call those blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] who were steadfast and endured [difficult circumstances]. You have heard of the patient endurance of Job and you have seen the Lord’s outcome [how He richly blessed Job]. The Lord is full of compassion and is merciful." (James 5:10-11)
 
    "To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations." (Isaiah 61:3-4)

This is why the veil was torn in two so that you might have this unusual, yet common access to Me.

 
Good morning,
 
    This is why the veil was torn in two so that you might have this unusual, yet common access to Me.
  In order that you might always go between here and the kingdom so that you might establish heaven on earth.  It is so that the world might know that there are people among them that are truly devoted to My way and not to the processes and the ways that the world operates.  It has been My plan to have people that genuinely reflect My image.  So I say come, come to where I Am and see.  See how I see, see what I feel, see how I think and how I act and move.  See and then imitate and do the same!  I have always called you to that higher place so that you could understand that you are not mere men walking upon this earth acting like mere men, doing what mere men do.  You are to be different, unique, and special, you are to be set apart and called to a higher life, walking in the higher planes and places that I have called and ordained for you to be in, to operate from.  If you function and move only from the low living you will only reap death.  If you function from the heavenly realm from the sphere of your Father, you will see and understand that you can affect your whole environment, your territory, and your land.
    You can ignite a fire that will be hard for the enemy to put out.  So come closer, come closer to Me, come and know Me.  Come and know Me as I know you.  Come and be intimate with Me, abandon every perceived idea, everything that has been taught to you that is not in line with My Word, abandon it and let it go.  You have been seeing Me from eyes of religion and now I say see Me from my Word, understand me from my Word, for I Am good, I Am kind, I Am gentle, yet I Am firm and I Am a Father to all who believe Me.
     
    "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." (Eph. 2:6-7)
 
    "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.  The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life." (John 6:63)

August 27, 2021 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

My children continually hurting one another, fighting and bickering over small temporal things that have been destroying their abilities to represent the Kingdom.

 
 
Good morning,
   

  How many times have we heard something and interpreted it out of context that may have caused us plenty of difficulties?  You know the familiar conversation, it goes something like this……" You said ———–!!!!" and the person who was speaking says:…."No, that's not what I said!!!!!" Has that happened to you lately?
    Do you remember the "telephone game" we learned as children, where we would start a conversation by saying a simple sentence and it would be repeated to the next person and on to the next and it would go on until the last person would repeat what they heard?  It would begin by saying something like, "my dog is a black and brown shepherd," by the time it got to the last person it might be, "the shepherd is brown where the black dog bit him."  Well, I learned several things from that exercise: #1 – you can not listen to gossip, it is never complete in truth; #2 – people do not listen intently and last but not least, I came to the conclusion that when you speak there is a force that causes our conversation at times to be misdirected or confused. Ephesians 2:2 makes reference to the "prince of the power of the air (in which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God).  Later on in Ephesians 6:12, we have a little more insight into this, "prince of the power of air".  Listen, it reads, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places".  So we can see that the devil has a rank of delegated authority, and one of those evil spirits' jobs is the "airwaves".  His sole purpose is to scramble up our communication lines.  He keeps the atmosphere charged with misunderstandings, misinterpretations, dirty filters, poor comprehension, and selfish hearing so that we are constantly dealing with offenses, unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, anger, deception, and all other kinds of little foxes that spoil our growth in our ability to hear clearly.  I am not saying this is the case every time, but we are told to know the ways of our enemy so that we can be victorious all the time.  We take authority over this low-ranking prince of the power of the air and we say that you will not hinder our ability to hear clearly and or communicate effectively.  We will keep the garden of our heart free of offenses, bitterness, malice, unforgiveness, etc.

Hear what the Spirit says:
    
    "For I am coming for My bride and she must no longer allow spots, wrinkles, or blemishes to continue to grow on her.  These hearing problems have caused so many blemishes in My church.  My children continually hurting one another, fighting and bickering over small temporal things that have been destroying their abilities to represent the Kingdom.  You must cease the wars among My beloved, and direct your attention to the enemy, who pits you against one another.  You must see and understand that a house divided cannot stand, and will end up in self-slaughter.  Stop!  My children, I have given to you all the power over all the power of the enemy, now use your power against the enemy and not against each other.  Love, love, and prefer one another.  Be merciful, tenderhearted, and kind.  Give allowances to one another.  Every time you are hurt by each other, quickly forgive.  Those seeds of forgiveness will return to you on swift wings of My favor to you.  You will grow twice as much because of the mercy you extend.  You will become more mature and more sensitive to Me and My ways you will be alert to follow Me.  This is the way of the Spirit.  Following the high road of love will always cause you to be on top, it is the steps to prosperity that will bring you to good.  Love will mature my bride and keep for her an atmosphere of miracles, wholeness, soundness, and true prosperity.  Love is the atmosphere where I, in My glory abounds.
 
    "Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave." (Eph. 4:32)
 
    "For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].”  But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another." (Gal. 5:14-15)
 
    "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Eph. 5:27)
