There is a theme to the things I am hearing the Lord speak lately. Along with the following, please also read the two previous messages-"Listen, Come, Rest"(1/27/06) and "Dare To Release"(1/28/06). I am posting what I hear the Spirit say. He is trying to get a message across. Please excuse if words get in the way.
The Spirit of the Lord says that this is the hour to listen, to listen and to hear. It is the hour to attune your ear as a radio dial, but as a radio with only one station and to tune in by receiving the engrafted word and the wooing of the Holy Spirit.
It is in this season that I am separating the wheat from the chaff and the sheep from the goats and My sheep know My voice. Attune your ear to My voice and know My voice for there are many voices and the voices are in many places with many faces and many sounds with many entreaties and such as those that would pull your focus and your very hearts' energy and well of nourishment to things that matter not and are, indeed, the way of the worlds' system--the cosmos.
The Spirit of God is not mocked, but is pure. The Spirit of the Lord is a refiners' fire. The Spirit of the Lord is as a hot purifying oil of cleansing.
Listen in this hour and with your listening, press in. Press in to hear. For only when you truly hear the voice of the Master will you know the way. The way that is sure and secure. Only when you hear will you know that the knowing of the voice will bring rest. Rest in this hour is key. This is a new season dawning. One that will be characterized by rest. My people will have a rest and peace that is beyond and not of this world, that is beyond the understanding of this world. And out of this rest will come a strength. A strength that will breed confidence. And confidence and strength will begat the greater works ministry, but only by those that cleave to Me in love and love for My body. For they that love and hold on to Me will, indeed, be the tried, the true, the bold, the strong, and the strong are they that establish My kingdom--even by holding on in love and strength-strength of character, of disposition, of heart and position. Do not be deceived. Come out, come out. Come out from the din and from that which is tainted and stale and dying, and from that which would dull your hearing. Do not be enticed, do not be misled. Do not be weighed down by cares and vanities of this worlds' offerings, lusts and entertainments. Come out from the carnival of noise and hear me. Hear for knowing and intimacy. Hear for rest and strength. Hear for confidence and works.
But yet, as you come out, enter in. Enter into My rest and My labor; and eat the bread of life and take that which you have from the overflow of your own basket, your own heart and enter into the world with this overflow and gift and feed the hungry. Feed them the gift of life that will set the captives free to life eternal.
The Spirit of the Lord speaks expressly in this hour. I have a heart.......and My people are My heart--I love My people. The will of the Father was the heart of Jesus and the Son was one with the Father from the foundations of time...and from the foundations , My people were in My heart till the dispensation of times....
My people are My heart and I will have a people and I will do a thing--with them, and they will do the will of the Father God as they cleave to My heart. We must be one in spirit, in the Spirit, one in heart. Seek My heart My people---SEEK MY HEART. My heart is your liberty, your release, your life.
I do not tremble at this worlds' dilemma.
I do not turn or toss or labor for naught.
I am not phased by dark tidings.
I have seen every sunrise and every sunset.
I have seen every tide ebb and flow.
I have see every nation rise and fall,
and I have heard the cry of every newborn.
I am the Ancient of Days and My hand of eternity is over you.
Do not be thwarted or beset by apparent shortcomings or apparent lack- at the fears that set to assail you in midstream.
See yourself with Me, My plan, My time, My place, My vision, My courage, My will,
I OWN ETERNITY. I AM.
My gift of life is eternal. Do not be bound by the carnal and mundane, the cares and labors of this time.
Learn to rule, with Me , as I, in time and through time.
The Lord spoke to Me the other day that His scepter is stretched out in this hour to receive His own into His presence. A presence that can only be entered into by pressing in and seeking. I keep hearing this. It is beyond the outer court and into His inner chambers.
There is a sound. A sound in the Spirit--not heard by the masses, but to those that listen. To those that hear. It is the sound of your God stretching forth His scepter to receive. The Lord says that His scepter is being stretched forth to receive you into His presence--into His inner court. Many are they that stand in the outer court in the throng and on the sidecourts and are not aware of His scepter--for they have not heard and have not pressed in. Pressing in is not an insurmountable and oppressive labor. It is a response as simple as first love, but only a continuance. My people must continue . They must not put their hand to the plow and look back or withdraw from My courts as some have done--they have become dull of hearing. Listen and hear the sound of My scepter being stretched out to receive you into the inner court of My presence.....and come.
Esther 5.1-2
