 This teaching is about a fast that I was called to and how the focus was that of fasting for those who will be left behind during the Tribulation. Our fasting has to be that of humbling ourselves afresh before the great High King, that we may indeed come with boldness to His throne of grace in utter humility. Not only for ourselves, but also for those who will be here during the Tribulation. I also share a prophetic word Father gave me in this devotional.

 In this devotional I talk about the fact that before there is a resurrection, there has to be a death. This is a principle within the Kingdom of God. When they marched around Jericho, it was not them who brought the walls down, but a complete dependence upon God wrought by God in them during the wilderness before they entered Canaan, or Jericho.  In this devotional teaching I talk about the disposition of the 144,000 being without guile, as well as the types and shadows of them in Scripture.  Jesus is the Patterned Son, our Forerunner. He said, “Take up your cross and follow Me”. Not all of us have the same crosses to bear. It comes in different forms. It behooves us to discern between spiritual attacks and our crosses to bear. However, what we need to grasp and contemplate is how we bear our cross. Are we without guile? When our buttons are pushed, do we have to defend ourselves? Are we running with the crowd or have we seen the gift that silence truly is? Are we priestly in our lives no matter what we do? Because when Jesus as the spotless Lamb of God laid on the altar, He laid His life down willingly, not trying to save face or defend Himself. His sacrifice was priestly.  Overall, this teaching focuses on the priesthood. You will note that the requirement is ultimate, for our God is an ultimate God. He has made a way for us to enter by faith. We are His workmanship, and not only does our heart have to be rented in repentance, but the requirement is HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD. Not a moment in time but a way of living. This is ultimate and only possible by His grace. For of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things -- to Whom be glory forever. Amen.  Psalm 102:14: "For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof." This pleasure and favor speak of setting your affection on showing mercy and pity. Who are these servants? Those whom He has prepared for such a time as this. This is something they are as servants and not something they merely do out of obligation… they ARE a compassion for stones and a pity for dust. We know that the apostolic dispensation that will come during the start of the tribulation will be from those stones that have been built in Him, who is their capstone, Jesus Christ, the stone the builders rejected. And He will through His living stones lay the foundations that have been broken down and brought to dust. They will be the builders of the foundation.  During the tribulation there will be those saints who has been pre-destined to lay their physical lives down so that others through their testimony of martyrdom will be saved. However, there are those who will not have a choice, who will instead of being victors will be victims. The difference lies within a disposition that has been wrought in them in all their preparation.  Now is the time where He is shaking us so that we may get up, put on our shoes, and focus on that particular office He has prepared us for -- to not be distracted by everything around us but to know that the time is upon us where it will no longer be about anything but the Kingdom of God. Are you willing to let go of what was, so that you may embrace the new life that He has promised? For there will be a price to pay as you get up from your comfy chair. Are you willing to place all on the altar, so that He may shift you and you may step into that which He has prepared?  Our tendency is to see things through our own particular filters, especially when we know them to be doctrinally true. And, of course, truth is always to be upheld. However, He the seeing that He wants to bring us into is not seeing the truth about Him, but The Truth - I AM. It is in the secret place where we not only see Him as He truly is but also as we are. Here we learn not only about the Truth but learn to know Him who is the Truth.  This devotional addresses the "pet sins" we allow even though being priests of the Lord. I address the fact that though seen individually they may seem "petty", but what they collectively show is a heart condition, which He does not take lightly. He desires truth in the inward part and that we serve Him wholeheartedly. |
