Does any lingerer (those that linger in His presence) really know what time it is? Cause my head is spinning.
Barely made it out of the parking lot last night after our gathering and God was saying: “What time is it? Look at your watch. What do you see?”
So… Here’s what happened after I was able to put some things down (recorded on my phone) Actually was exhausted had to lay down for a while then God woke me up early and refreshed so; back to mining things out from the inside out. I pray you all are REFRESHED! IN HIM!
12:21am. Don’t call finished what He has just begun. – 12:22 am. He’s got things to do in you – (He also highlighted 1:00am as I was almost home as if to exclamation point that He’s the 1!) – 2:17 am. To dissolving of things 7/1/16
12:21am. “Don’t call finished what He has just begun.”
Have you ever gotten up off of God’s operating table mid-surgery? Have you ever felt the release of pressure in an area of struggle and thought: “that’s it! I’m done! Problem solved!”? Whoa! Wait a minute! What about:
“And I am certain that God, who BEGAN the good work within you, WILL CONTINUE His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Philippians 1:6 NLT.
When did that say it was finished? Was it yesterday? Was it this week? Oh I know; it was when apostle so and so laid hands on you! NO!!!! He will continue HIS GOOD work ONLY to be FINISHED upon Christ’s return! Yes, He does cut things out of us so we don’t have to deal with them anymore. Yes, we are free and done with that. Yes, He binds up and heals the brokenhearted. But, is He done? Surgery’s over? Are we ready to go out and play? Yes we are, but to varying degrees we are still being conformed to the image and likeness of Christ. So take off your crown boys and girls, NONE of us have arrived. We are all “playing hurt”. We are ALL growing and overcoming. Until “that” day!
12:22am. “He’s got things to do in you.”
Now that we can clearly see that HE is still working, growing, and changing us all. We need to understand that He is wanting to do some things IN us. These things are NOT only for our own benefit; for us just to use them as WE please; to let our own passions and desires guide the gifts HE has placed inside of us. We must cast down and destroy this and any and all vain imagination because it IS definitely exalting itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5).
It IS for “freedom” that Christ has set you free! (Galatians 5:1)
Freedom for what? To what? That you can be free, yourself? Yes! But, it’s MORE than that! How about freedom in your house? In your local fellowship? In your workplace? How about every place you come in contact with, and in every part that you have influence in?
Yes!!! Now we are starting to understand this term “it IS for freedom that we are free”. Now back to this “things to do IN us”. So, if we stop or limit what God is doing in and through us; aren’t we in effect limiting HIS work in our families, local fellowship, workplace, etc.
“Well, I don’t want to exalt myself.” or “Jesus can use who ever He chooses; He doesn’t have to use; or need to use me.”
COME OUT, false humility! Don’t accept that lie! God has designed YOU to be in your family, your fellowship, your workplace, your city, & your region. Isn’t it time HE comes and invades your world? Don’t you want God to impact your family, local church house, where you work, & every place the sole of your foot touches?!! Then God needs a conduit! A touch point here on the earth. A way to bring HIS KINGDOM that people say is far away; NEAR! Dear brothers and sisters, how can HE do that if we say “Not, us. Use someone else Lord.”? The things He is doing and wanting to do IN us are not really for us alone, but they MUST be done IN and through us. YES US!!! Not someone else.
2:17am.”To dissolving of things”
Because of the work God is doing in us (that we are finally allowing). I saw God taking the opposition that we have faced daily, for years (and new & future challenges also, if we continue to allow HIS work IN us) and HE literally and instantly dissolved them. I saw the solid and unmovable “pix-elate” into tiny particles, falling to the ground. But, before the particles could even reach the ground they dissolved into nothing.
“No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?” (Psalms 76:7)
WOW! Yes, He is rightfully angry! I hear “explosion” noises going on, right NOW, in heavenly places! He will not put up with the things that stand in the way of those He loves! So, get out of the way! Or better yet, embrace His fire and let it blow up EVERYTHING inside of you that is NOT like Him! Resolve to let be dissolved of anything and everything; holding nothing back! The time has come for FULL abandonment to His purpose!
to unsubscribe reply STOP but I know He’s never stopped (finished) with me (until “that” day)
Note: I know this was sent out on July 1 2016. Just before the “Fourth of July”, but I did not make the connection until afterwards that we were coming upon the “Fourth”…. Funny how God works sometimes, using us and our surroundings to drive His points home.
