“The Kindness and Plan of God During Changing Times” - Prophetic Insights and Word

 


PLEASE CLICK THE PICTURE TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO PODCAST VERSION.

EBLOGGER SUDDENLY SEEMS TO BE PROHIBITING ME 

FROM POSTING A LIVE AUDIO PLAYER

By Mary Lindow

DEAR FRIENDS OR READERS. THIS IS MOST POSSIBLY ONE OF THE MOST SUCCINCT WORDS THAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN TO ME TO SHARE THIS FAR IN MY LIFE WITH HIM.

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH AS MEMBERS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD 

IS DONE BY THE POWER OF GOD, 

AND BE EVER SO CAREFUL! KNOWLEDGE CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR MATURITY. 

The Times are RAPIDLY Changing, and I know that for me, it will require a different strategy to handle them and that I must be willing and able to walk out the days ahead. It seems as if I identify with the prophet Jeremiah more often now than ever before. And so, I am CHOOSING to adjust the way of delivering my portion of what the Spirit of God would give me, as He leads me. Daily.

I AM IN WORDLESS, TEAR-STREAMING GRIEF over the rapid forms of meditation, eastern mysticism, competitive daily trendy "prophetic" articles/words (advertisements!) -and outright fear mongering one moment and then "hysterical" any moment breakthrough messages, (both which, recycle over and over, that are sweeping into the Body of Christ.

Facebook posts are loaded like a buttered baked potato with a big scoop of sour cream, and belch out sarcasm; shaming, smug and rude "thumbing the nose" at any warnings or loving corrections, and the devouring and public slandering has become unbearable.

WHEN PEOPLE REFUSE TO LET GOD BE THE JUDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL,when they inject their own standards to oppose His, these people who are "usurping" assume a sovereignty or power that belongs only to God. They choose to undermine God’s order, in order to demand their own, and in doing this, they hope to avoid the pinpricks of their conscience. After all, "if it's legal" then it must be right! Right?" No. God’s law is not so easily escaped or fanned away as an old dusty list of metaphors.

CONCEIT AND PRIDE ARE THE GREATEST ENEMIES TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH!  Newly "acquired knowledge" or notoriety often leads to pride rather than wisdom. There is no more certain way to fall into sin and self-deception than to allow pride to lead us into putting confidence in ourselves rather than God. This kind of pride always leads to destruction, because it robs us of God’s power to stand against temptation!

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH AS MEMBERS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS DONE BY THE POWER OF GOD. AND, KNOWLEDGE CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR MATURITY. 

True knowledge is designed to bring us TO maturity. 
When we parade our so called freedom before others in an effort to reveal how much we know, we reveal our immaturity and are treading on dangerous ground! Knowledge put on PUBLIC display leads to heartbreak and divisive scattering...

The Western Style "First World Church" is caught up in so many identity crises! And, with the many pushing movements and meetings, the voices crying out and weeping in the places of preparation (the wilderness) saying, "You! Yes YOU! Prepare the Way of the LORD!... ...straighten out those crooked, twisted paths!" -are suddenly being told to step back into a place of silence and travailing prayer, determined to lean in closer to THE Voice that is small, still, and sure.

ONLY TIME SPENT WITH THE LORD, like a dear friend, will fill the gaping ache you have. He will speak, He will comfort, and He will show you what is true and what is false in the days ahead if you will return to that Place of companionship with Him. Away from the opinions of men and the noise of this life. As you turn your heart and hopes towards him you will see compassion poured out upon you and you will then have his power of pure godly compassion and “wisdom driven” grace to pour out on others.

SPEAK TO HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, 
YOUR LONGINGS, 
YOUR HEARTACHES, AND YOUR DREAMS. 
HE WILL BE THERE WITH ARMS OF STRENGTH 
TO RESCUE YOU FROM DESPAIR."

“A Prophetic Word” 
Can you not hear my voice speaking to you clearly? 
Has it become clouded with the cares of this life and the voices of men articulating what they “think” is my voice?

My time for you to hear the truth is never when man decides it. The world screams that all the chaos and change is turning and twisting men's hearts away from me. But when I speak and when I move and I am lifted up, men's hearts ache for me!

There is a greater power in my silence then there is in the shouting of mankind saying that I do not exist! 
It is folly and foolishness to think that man can try to silence or attempt to erase me!

I am preparing for myself a bride. Not a foolish, emotionally lovesick self-seeking bride! No I am seeking and preparing for myself a mature godly gathering of those who will become one and unified with and in me. I am the one that is shaping and fashioning this bride in the refining fires that are currently burning across the earth.

Men may try to redefine me, say that I do not exist, they may attempt to twist words that I have spoken in order to fit the base agenda in their own souls, but all the while I am shaping and fashioning and preparing for myself an army and a bride that will not be defeated in the days to come. 
Adjust your thinking child!

I am not a God to be dictated to or to be demanded of! 
I am one to be approached with brokenness and humility! Those who have a contrite heart and a right spirit are the ones that I will answer. 

There is a time coming when I will sweep away and clean up the false examples of prophetic ministry claiming and declaring things that have nothing to do but glorify the flesh.

If a person's heart is not right with me, no matter what they declare, decree, or shout, it will fall upon ears of deafness in heaven. I desire truth in your inward parts.

Let me reduce you to love.
Stripping away title, presumption and secret desires for notoriety. In order to be like me you have to live like I did in the earth. I served mankind and was spat upon. I spoke truth and I was mocked. I challenged the proud and religious thinkers of the day and they desired to silence me and kill me.

I am calling you my people to become honest in heart, broken and humble before me, and with willing and heart to serve me, and those that I send to you. It is not their external condition that you are to judge, nor categorize.
Your job is to share my life my light and my love with them. And in your example of how you treat them is how I see you treating me. 

Show no favoritism but humble yourselves in my site and do the work of my servant.

Yes, the days are changing and the mandates for your life are becoming more defined. Bow before me and reconnect your heart to truth and simplicity and the grace of knowing that you were purchased with a life poured out so that you might live life to the fullest.

"It is necessary for him to increase and for me to decrease." 
-John 3:30

"THOUGHTS FROM AN INTROSPECTIVE HEART"




By Mary Lindow

With the M-A-N-Y options, opinions, observations, doctrines and perspectives that every human chooses to ingest and own, I am fully aware that what I share in the following paragraphs will most likely make some angry while others may laugh, and some might feel the need to pontificate. 

Hopefully... 
...A few see it for what it is. 

Raw honesty from a somewhat "weary soul" who is yet, "a work in progress" until the fullness of truth is made complete in her. 

"The Noise" of many voices, choices and projections, has totally driven me to a place higher than me. That, "Private Dwelling Place Of Christ Alone" in thought, mood, plans, and purpose. 

Friends... The love,mercy and spirit of truth of God is being "called up" inside of each us and is required to be available and active. 
In these days of upheavals, "heavy-duty crass communication and filthy speech", natural and un-natural disasters, I'm completely focusing on simpler ministry and "clear eyes" looking at the Lord and His example because... 
...He is THE focus. 

The things of earth grow dim in the light of His glory and grace, His wisdom, His example. I'm not going down a fearful or "heavy warnings" path. Of course I can see from right to left and observe, but the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn. Growing brighter and brighter until the final day, which can be individual or collective. (My End Day might be today or 20 years from now!) 

So much division and clutching to "personal revelation" among those who acclaim to have Christ as a central focus has become exhausting, at times embarrassing, and at worst so cloyingly arrogant that the fragrance and kindness of humility is gone. 

All this excessive exaggerated exaltation of gifts and high titles and "heavy revelations" ring false, and are wrapped up in EXTREME bondage and control or a need to 
“BE NOTICED AND FEARED - OR  VALIDATED ". 

Peace in Christ, regardless of the times, is found on a simple but oftentimes, "narrow" path. 

Saint John of the Cross understood it so clearly when he stated: 
“God has to work in the soul in secret and in darkness, 
because if we fully knew what was happening 
and what mystery transformation that God and Grace will eventually ask of us, 
we would either try to take charge or stop the whole process.”

Remember Jesus's simple yet clear words to His very own...

John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. 
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! 
I have overcome the world.”

Take heart believer. 
Respond to everything, from the prompts of the Holy Spirit, 
not out of pettiness, vindictiveness or denial. 
Some prompts will be to not move into something new quite yet, 
Some will be to stay aware and alert but not alarmed,
And at times, 
The Holy Spirit tells us to step back while He tests and convicts the heart of mankind. 
It’s in these prompts that we yield to a greater ONE who’s ways are higher than ours.

Costly? Yes.
Misunderstood? Often.
Convenient? Rarely.
But to obey.... 
....is the more excellent way. 

Here’s a clear guarantee out of the mouth of Jesus, to help us on our journey.

The Holy Spirit shows what is true and will come and guide you into the full truth. 

The Holy Spirit doesn't speak on his own. 

He will tell you only what he has heard from me, and he will let you know what is going to happen. 

The Holy Spirit will bring glory to me by taking my message and telling it to you. 

Everything the Father has is mine. 

This is why I have said that the Holy Spirit takes my message and tells it to you.
John 16:13-15

“A Child’s Voice and The Presence of God”




Mary Lindow
When our first son Joel was born, my first thought when I heard him begin to cry was that he sounded like a baby lamb “bleating” for his mother. That sound caused my heart to soar into a moment of overwhelming elation. I was a Mother!! And, “life” had cried out from the new being, birthed from my own body. 
When our second son Timothy was born, I was even more aware than my first birth of the supernatural event taking place. I was being entrusted by God to raise up children to be “Voices of His Promise" on the earth. 
After 33 years of Parenting and watching our two sons develop into strong leaders, husband and having children I would like to share with you the gift of that “sound” or the "legacy" of a generational sound being passed down through three generations. The next part of this message will be, just that. 
A few years ago I was preparing a podcast and our Grandson James-David who was seven years old at the time ( he is 11years old now and still has that perceptive heart, is a drummer and plays piano and sings) was listening to me edit the audio. His Daddy, (Joel) is a gifted musician and vocalist as well and has sung and played for this little boy since he was born. When I had finished recording the message that I was preparing I then asked little James if he would like to hear some music I had been working on for a potential new recording project I was starting to put together. I played the musical piece for him off of my computer where I had been working on it. When it finished, he said to me, “Grandma! That music sounds like God music. It made me feel so happy in my heart!” 
Of course, it made me just burst inside of my own heart with great tenderness toward this perceptive child! Then, he told me that he would like to make a podcast too, just like I did! I asked him what would he want to say and to whom if he “did a podcast". 
His words were, “Grandma. I want to speak to the people who are sad and feel alone and tell them God is there and He loves them. And so… I let him tell me what he wanted to say, …And I recorded him speaking it, as the music that I wrote, played along with his message. Little did I know, that God had timed the music and that little child’s heartfelt prayer to match in not only timing, but in melody and beauty. The music ended just as he did, and he sang out all on his own at the end, without any of my prompting. He had heard the music only twice.
I will not tell you much more… 
…But rather let you hear for yourself, the “Heart cry” of a child, and the spontaneous expression of praise that came out of this moment. I have played it for a few other friends, and the presence of God fell upon them, and there was weeping and a stunned amazement at not only the impact of the message, but also the reality of;
“ A little child shall lead them” type of truth hitting them right between the eyes! (And… into the very middle of their hearts.)
May the “Voice” of God speak to you and move you to worship as He ministers to you through this pure and simple child’s message and prayer. It is God’s gift to the weary, the lonely, and those who hunger for more of a simpler and holy life hidden in the Palm of His hand, saturated in His word. share it with you young children or those who are longing for a sweet and non-commercial moment of holy and pure worship.
“Their children will be mighty in the land. 
The generation of the upright will be blessed.” 
Psalm 112:2
Perhaps you might know of someone who needs to hear the “Voice of God” speaking to them in innocence and pure Grace.” Pass this on to them as a gift, from Heaven.
In His Shadow, Mary Lindow
