"I Am Building a Body of Faithful Believers"


By Mary Lindow


Ephesians 2:21
We who are believers are carefully joined together with Christ,
as parts of a beautiful constantly growing temple for God.


Who joins you together ever so carefully? It is Me!
The one who poured out all of My life’s ambitions and My own will for
you! I gather you together with others who will greatly influence
your Destiny in Me!


As I chisel and shape you as a living stone, you will learn through those
I place around you just how to blend into the “temple of unity” that I am
building with My Living Body of faithful believers.


You will always be in the process of building
as I continue My work in you, around you, and through you! Ever so
carefully Will I shape you and mold you into a vessel of My use.
A temple to fill with My Presence and glory!


“Oh that we might know the Lord!
Let us press on to know Him and surely He will respond to us!”
Hosea 6:3


Child, I do understand your longing to know me more!
It was built into you when you came to know Me as Lord and Master!
It is a Divine DNA that drives you to press on until you encounter Me
face to face!


Moses was also driven by this internal force. David, Deborah, Elijah!
All of them had a homing device inside of their spirit beings that cried
out for more of the relationship from heaven!


Never stop searching out My ways!
You will see Me move all of creation in order for you to know just how I
long to bless you, to encourage you and to perfect you!
Press On!
Press In !
I will respond!


“Hide yourselves in Me!


“But let all who take refuge in You be glad!
Let them forever sing for joy!
Spread your protection over them,
so that those who love Your name may rejoice in You! “
~Psalms 5:11


I hear your heartache and travail! I know your longings!
Quickly! Come and hide in My tower of refuge!


I Am the tower of safety!
Your tormenters are far below you when you are up high in My tower of
praise! Rise up higher and higher as you rejoice in My love! Enter into
My arms of protection!


You fear the things that must indeed fall down at My command!
Stop fretting and come into My arms of refuge and rest!


“You will inherit a double portion!” Isaiah 61:7
My Word says that My people will receive
a double portion of blessing instead of shame!


Instead of “dis-grace”, they will “re-joice” in their Inheritance!
They will inherit a “double portion” in their land!
Joy that lasts forever will be theirs!


I have planned to give you, My child, the best of all things and then,
to double it!
Even a joy that will last forever!
I will also double that!


Even though the pruning has been sorrowful
and yes, even painful, it has cut away the things that brought shame
and a cowardly heart from your life!


I take away dis-grace forever and cause you to re-joice forever!


The place you are living in, the land you are claiming for My kingdom?
I double the impact and double the moving of My mighty Hand of
Healing and Kingdom assets!


Receive the Double Portion of Blessing!

THE “SECRET THINGS” OF PERSONAL RENEWAL

THE “SECRET THINGS” OF PERSONAL RENEWAL
By Mary Lindow

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


To listen to the free Messenger Podcast go to:


www.gcast.com/u/MaryLindow/main


I invite you to step out from the familiar comfort zone in which you now
are and take a risk.
In the body of Christ today there are many different kinds of comfort
zones. Step out from your comfort zone that leaves you in the place of
being a “Fallow ground- Christian.”
What I mean by that statement is – “being currently inactive but with the
possibility of activity or use in the future.”


THINK HONESTLY.

Are you living as unto yourself, basking in self-approval or self hatred, or
are you self-consciously living for God’s glory and for the encouragement
of others?

Is there joy in your life, and a deeply developing love for God, in the
“routine” you have carved for yourself?

We all need the discipline of doing something that goes beyond our
comfort zone. Some of us need to risk being at an event whose only
purpose is to pray instead of going to get something or hear something
that will feed our own need for more attention and self-focus.

How many times have your heard the line, “If I won the Publisher’s Clearing
House Sweepstakes, I would do sooooo much to help others who are poor
or are going through difficult times?!” Or, maybe you have said, “When I
close this business deal, get my family inheritance, sell that piece of
property (uh…brings to mind a certain Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 5)
then I will obey the prompting of the Lord to “Do something to help.”

If we are truly going have a move of God’s Heart not just His Hand in the
form of a “Harvest” we need to start living the lifestyle that sets a
precedence for such a move! Meaning? Prying our fingers away from what
we will not share with others until “we” are first satisfied and justified in
our own “Self preservation.” This does not just apply to material goods. It
means sharing from the heart humbly, partaking openly with others
allowing them in, and allowing tears to flow in vulnerability. These make
us equals in painful times and equal when we rejoice.

If folks can’t share during their good times and seasons of abundance,
they will not fully obey the Lord in caring for their brothers and sisters
when times are difficult.


SHARE WHAT?

Time, resources, wisdom, counsel, transparent dialog. And how about a
focused “Listening ear” instead of a benevolent sort of “tolerant” dead-pan
stare as someone pours out their deeply bruised soul, looking for a
handhold or foothold that will assist them in grappling with the
overwhelming “mountain” of life.


…For the LORD searches every heart
and understands every motive behind the thoughts.
If you seek him, you will find him;
but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
1 Chronicles 28:9


Woe to those who think they are fooling themselves when they say that
they “need to be careful” when they give so people don’t “depend on them
or expect more from them!

Imagine Jesus saying that! He would never withhold from us in order to
protect “His” investments or hard earned, worked to the bone assets! He
gave ALL with no guarantee that we would ever appreciate or value it.

Invite another family or friend to your home. Don’t wait to be invited. Take
the initiative. Eat together around the table in your dining room or kitchen.
Talk together. Pray together. Start a plan of blessing someone in need that
you know of - together.


DO YOU HEAR VOICES?

Stop the mindless chattering that is allowed in most of our self-talking
heads that allows the flesh to push aside the promptings of the Lord!
Times are getting tough, and those who have been reluctant to share when
the times were not nearly where they are heading now, will be called up for
service again, and asked by the Lord to assist those who
are perhaps weaker, lesser, and much “leaner” in their provisions.

Start with something small, something useful. Keep it going. And whatever
you do, keep it between you and the Lord, where your reward is given
weight in the records in heaven for eternity, not just for a few fleeting
strokes of the ego here on earth.


THE “PRIVATE THINGS” OF PERSONAL RENEWAL EXPOSED!

Begin a private life of personal devotion. Rediscover your prayer closet.


”Very early in the morning, while it was still dark,
Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place,
where he prayed.”
Mark 1:35


Gut it out with God. Confess your dissatisfaction with the stale places
where you have allowed “moss” to grow over in your devotion to the
discipline of Reading the words of Jesus, Heeding the words of Jesus, and
then Feeding the Words of Jesus to the hungry, lost, and scared people
around you in your daily “Missionary calling” as a follower of the Great
Reviver of your soul.


Isaiah 57:15
For this is what the high and lofty One says—
He who lives forever, whose name is holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”


Personal revival is usually needed when something in our walk with the
Savior has gone into a “Flat line” and needs to be shocked back into a
proper heartbeat.

The closer we become devoted to and more intimate with The King, the
Comforter, and Savior, the more near He is to us and, will reveal His daily
“Divine Appointments” for our lives and for His Glory.

If Jesus did it to survive- so must we!


But Jesus would often go to some place where he could be alone and pray.
Luke 5:16


We NEED to be alone. Why? In order to not have the distraction of leaning
on someone else to “do the praying or talking” for us for one! We gain
perspective, and refreshing after repenting, and a “reality check” regarding
how we are to live the lifestyle of a Christian in an ever-darkening world
where morals and values are crumbling at an uncontrollable speed.


LET US SEE AND HEAR AND ACT!

As we face the fallow ground left unfruitful (through intentional denial that
we allowed this) in our lives and allow the Father to create a clean heart in
us, and renew or “Revive” a right spirit (godly attitude) within it, the soil
can be a host for seed and harvest.

He gladly does this! WE are His faith seeds in the soil of Earth!


Psalm 126:6
”He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.”


”He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”
Psalm 23:3


WISDOM FROM THE SPIRIT

If you want present day revelation, you must have a level of solid Christian
maturity to not only discern it, but to apply it. There are more and more
”Muddy” approaches regarding how to be wise or savvy in living your life,
being sold in bookstores and every media venue out there! If you want to
drink or eat re-cycled food…well, be my guest. BUT! If you truly desire
depth and a secure anchor for surviving and flourishing in any
circumstance that you surely will have attempt to sidetrack and undermine
your Godly Destiny, you and I will have to go to THE SOURCE of Wisdom
and stay there until we “Get it.”


1 Corinthians 2:6
”We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,
but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing.”


”But solid food is for the mature,
”which by constant use have trained themselves
”to distinguish good from evil.”
Hebrews 5:14


GIVE JESUS JOY

Romans 12:12
”Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”


These are the attributes of the faithful and true follower of Christ. And as
Jesus watches over our coming and our going, every moment of every day,
His joy is made complete when He sees the evidence of a restored life
being fruitful and steadfast, no matter what the condition of their
circumstance or surroundings.

Believer. Let us press on into the walk of maturity in Christ where nothing
shakes or shatters us anymore, because we live in the light of His Glorious
Grace.


Ephesians 1:6 (New Living Translation)
”So we praise God for the glorious grace
he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.”


QUOTE FORM OSWALD CHAMBERS~


”Whenever we are obstinate and self-willed and set upon our own
ambitions, we are hurting Jesus. Every time we stand on our rights and
insist that this is what we intend to do, we are persecuting Jesus. Whenever
we stand on our dignity we systematically vex and grieve His Spirit; and
when the knowledge comes home that it is Jesus Whom we have been
persecuting all the time, it is the most crushing revelation there could be.”

The God who Sees -The God who Hears - The God who Knows


By Mary Lindow

EL ROI – Hebrew for the God who knows and sees all.


”THE RIGHTEOUS MAN OR WOMAN RUNS INTO
THE STRONG TOWER OF THE GOD WHO SEES”

(Genesis 16:13)


ARE YOU LONGING FOR REFRESHING FROM THE HEART
OF GOD THE FATHER?


Are you in a place where you risk laying down what might cost
you your past history, and which will create a new and fresh
beginning in the walk of the saint on earth?


Sadly, many choose to return to the safe place of familiarity and
control to gain perspective, and lose the joy set before them. They
also will return to religious metaphors, forms, and familiar patterns
as to how to deal with difficulty or things out of their control. No
nation will be changed, no crisis will be silenced as long as the
believer does not first deal with the issues that are hidden and
that are well nurtured within their own flesh.


THE FATHER IS WATCHING THOSE WHO ARE NOT
CREATING AGENDAS AND PROGRAMS TO ATTEMPT TO
HAVE AN "EDGE" DURING THIS LONG SEASON OF
TRANSITIONING.


He is allowing the breaking and "coming to the end of ones' self"
to continue. Few have stepped over the line into the abandonment
He desires from those who claim that their lives are for His use.
Breaking is not done just through loss or strain, It is also a
persistent blow to the hardened soul who presumes that they are
perhaps more blessed or more righteous because it appears as if
the Father is blessing them above their brethren who appear
impoverished, humiliated, and even sick in body. BEWARE of the
lies of arrogance and selfish ambition! It was a similar voice that
tempted the Savior to bend the Word of God to fit His situation.
And He as your model, stood firm against the voice of any
religious spirit and temptation and did not cave in under pressure.


IN THIS CRUCIAL HOUR
Yes… Right now even as you read and contemplate, the Lord is
not requiring acts of greatness and profound gatherings to bring
glory to His plans. The Lord says these words to those who will
choose hear:


"THE SACRIFICE I WANT IS A BROKEN SPIRIT.
A BROKEN AND REPENTANT HEART,
THIS MY BRIDE, I WILL NOT DESPISE. (PSALM 51:17)


WHAT IS IT THAT JESUS THAT JESUS WANTS FROM US…
…REALLY?
The obedience to do the simple, and often at times… mundane
acts of “silencing our fleshly need for action and control."


JESUS REQUIRES THOSE WHO WOULD BE HIS FOLLOWERS
TO A RADICAL DEVOTION AND AN EVEN MORE RADICAL
DEPENDENCE ON GOD.


His followers must be meek,
Must not retaliate,
Must go beyond the Word of God’s “rules and regulations”
and instead, understand its spirit.


They must do what is right when only God is looking,
Must depend on God for their needs
And pursue His interests rather than their own.


HIS DEVOTED FOLLOWERS MUST LEAVE SPIRITUAL
MEASUREMENTS OF OTHERS' HEARTS AND ACTIONS,
“SEEMINGLY GOOD OR BAD” - TO GOD.


In short, true people of the kingdom live for God, not for themselves.


ARE YOU IN AN “UNCOMFORTABLE” SEASON BECAUSE
YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO WALK THE NARROW PATH?


But small is the gate and narrow the path that leads to life,
And only a few find it.
Matthew 7:14


THIS IS THE AGONY THAT TURNS INTO A GODLY DELIGHT!
When we fully realize that only God the Father can be the full and
well trusted Redeemer and Rescuer in all of our life situations
right now!


So Fear not! He is dealing with the hearts of those who still cling
to hidden control over their brothers and sisters.


HE IS PROBING EACH HEART WHO CALLS HIM LORD!
He is allowing a spiritual discontentment and a holy frustration to
stir up all unsatisfied and unfulfilled hearts until they begin to wail
out loud,

“How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?”
Psalm 13:1


HOW MUCH DOES EL ROI CARE?
“Are not two sparrows sold for a cent?
And yet not one of them will fall to the ground
apart from your Father.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.”
Matthew 10:29-31


THE LORD IS TRAINING US!
Do you ever wonder why there is such a limited level of joy and
rest in the heart? It is because until the body of believers in Christ
have a heart that is broken and repentant for assuming that they
are allowed to call the shots in decision making in this life…He will
not expose us to His full measure of Glory!


Psalm 19:13 (CEV)
Don't let me do wrong on purpose, Lord,
Or let sin have control over my life.
Then I will be innocent, and not guilty of some terrible fault.


IT IS TRUE THAT THE KINGDOM IS AVAILABLE TO US
ONLY BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH; BUT…..
But! Genuine faith means genuinely embracing and yielding to God's
reign, not simply acknowledging it and then passing it by as if it did not
exist.


The kingdom is a treasure, and those who really believe it will sacrifice
everything else in their lives for its agendas.


Professed Christians who crave worldly wealth and position but are not
nearly as excited and consumed with the advancing of God's kingdom,
really need to take a brutal and laser piercing look at the true state of their
souls.


When we preach that people who simply “pray a prayer” will automatically
be saved from hell regardless of whether they truly commit their lives to
Christ and commit to trust that He is saving them from sin (from
selfishness, from going their way instead of his), we preach a message
other than the one our Lord has taught us.


2 Timothy 2:19
“Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this
inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who
confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."


Romans 10:9 (CEV
So you will be saved, if you honestly say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you
believe with all your heart that God raised him from death.


ONCE WE PASS THROUGH TIMES OF DISTRESS,
HE WILL RETURN WITH HIS FRESH AND SWEET JOY!


Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me—
Now let me rejoice. Psalm 51:8


IT IS AN INTENSE STRUGGLE TO CHOOSE TO BE EXPOSED
BEFORE GOD!
But the delight of allowing nothing of the soul to influence your
decisions when the Lord speaks and gives command far
outweighs this present suffering between spirit and flesh!


“If you put yourself above others, you will be put down.
But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.”
Matthew 23:12 (CEV)


MANY WHO ARE NOW HIDDEN AND YES, BEAT DOWN,
TESTED, RIDICULED AND SEEMINGLY FORGOTTEN, WILL
SHORTLY PASS THROUGH THE OPEN DOOR OF FRESH
OPPORTUNITIES…


…AND PATHWAYS OF TRUTH WILL LEAD THEM.


“He makes me strong again.
He leads me in the way of living right with Himself
Which brings honor to His name.”
Psalm 23:3 (NLV)


THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SLOWLY ARISING FROM THE
HIDDEN PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO
GROW IN WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND DYING TO SELF-
LOVE…
…STAY THE COURSE!


“We are pressed on every side by troubles,
But we are not crushed and broken.
We are perplexed,
But we don't give up and quit.”
(2 Corinthians 4:8)


HE HIMSELF WILL BIND UP EVERYTHING BROKEN IN YOUR
HEART, YOUR DREAMS, AND YOUR REPUTATION, WITH HIS
OWN HAND, AND HE WILL RESTORE YOUR JOY!


“He heals the brokenhearted,
Binding up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3


EL ROI SEES YOUR PAST MISERY, YOUR PRESENT PAIN,
YOUR UNCERTAIN FUTURE.
He is so watchful that He knows when the smallest sparrow
perishes (Mt. 10:29, 30, 31).


And He is the God who sees and cares for you and I today.

“After The Fire”- A Prophetic Word

“After The Fire”- A Prophetic Word
By the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow


OH HOW YOU FEAR THE PURIFYING FIRE OF CONVICTION!
It is as if you think that I might truly do something unloving to burn you
or disfigure you!


I am a God of fire! Yes!
But a HOLY fire! A fire that burns away wood, hay, and the chaff
Lying around in your heart. They are littering the places that
I want to bring My Glory into!


For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 4:24


WHEN MY FIRE PURSUES YOU,
It drives out any voice of lust, passivity, or any other enemy of your
soul!You will come to a place where you no longer need to have the
splash of fanfare or the rumblings of the earth to know that I Am in
your presence!


Instead.
The Fire brings you to a place just like it did Moses!
He saw My Holy Fire in a bush on a hill.
I spoke to Him and told Him He was on HOLY ground!
I was a still, small voice, speaking out from inside of a fire!


LISTEN! I AM CALLING OUT TO YOU!
Be quiet! Silence the noise around you!
Get quiet with me,
Put away the busyness that you get caught up into!


After the “Fire" ... a still small voice.
1Kings19: 12


MY PASSION FIRE IS CALLING OUT TO YOU!
I have things I want to whisper into your spirit man!
I have words that will sustain you through all of the fiery trials
and tests you will inevitably pass through!


IF YOU WANT MY FIRE TO BE EVIDENT
IN YOUR SERVICE TO OTHERS,
Listen to My still small voice.
It will in turn resound like a roaring ocean
to those whom you will minister to.


O Lord of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!”
Psalms.84:12


THE ISSUE THAT EVERYONE ON EARTH DEALS WITH DAY IN
AND DAY OUT.
Trust.
Putting your trust in things that last for only a season or a few years
can be very risky and very disappointing. I have told My people to
trust in ME with ALL of their heart and I will make their paths straight.
Yet- continually they put their trust in people, and idols made of gold,
(money) positions of power, and in themselves!


LASTING BLESSINGS CAN ONLY COME FROM TRUSTING IN ME.
The real issue is that you don’t really think that I will do what I say I
will do! So... You take it into your own hands! When you finally lay
down your need to control the universe and those all around you and
trust in me, then you will be blessed! Blessed with safety, peace of
mind and above all, blessed by My pleasure in your resting in My
plan.


“See to it that you do not refuse HIM who is speaking!”
Hebrews 12:25


Do you know how many times you have said to Me,
“Later! I will do it Later?”
You exhort others to obey quickly and yet you will drag your feet
and put Me off until you “feel” like following through!


DO NOT REFUSE ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU,
or when I send you to do something in My Name!
You might fear for your own reputation, but remember that a life could
be hanging in the balance! You do not have the luxury of “denying
your King!”


”You are my portion, O LORD;
I have promised to obey your words.”
Psalm 119:57


If you wish to be caught up into higher dimensions in My Spirit,
and, if you long for the deep that calls unto deep,
be faithful to ACT when I give you a command!


“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold
with strength in my soul.”
Psalms 138:3

COMPLEX TIMES AND ACHING HEARTS

COMPLEX TIMES AND ACHING HEARTS

By Mary Lindow

HELLO DEAR CHILD OF GOD,
I WAS PROMPTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SHARE WITH YOU A FEW
THINGS THAT HE HAS IMPRESSED ME WITH AND ALSO WHICH I FEEL
HE IS WANTING TO “IMPRINT” UPON MY HEART AND PERHAPS YOURS
AS WELL!

Proverbs 3:3
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.

COMPLEX TIMES

It doesn’t take a genius mind to know that we are in some terrible times here in the
earth! Wars wars and more threats of wars! Economic pressures, ungodly rulers,
missiles aimed and ready to blow up other countries, more tsunamis and bizarre
weather patterns!
And this is all just one week’s worth of change and events happening!

I hear the Holy Spirit bringing a clear word of comfort and help to His people who
have ears to hear what He is saying to them. Those that are determined to follow the
voice of the Good Shepherd and not strange voices.

John 10:5
And a stranger will they not follow,
But will flee from him:
For they know not the voice of strangers.

ACHING HEARTS

The days have seemingly turned darker, uncertain, and frenzied as media reporters
shell out the hyped newscasts of doom and despair. And although much of what is
being reported may be actually happening, it is intentionally ratcheted up to keep
viewing polls well oiled and operating.

All of the noise pollution and the droning voices of the media personalities can
weary and weigh down the heart of those who have a compassionate and sensitive
spirit or heart. And. Often through all of the pressure filled “minute by minute live”
reporting, people can become restless and fearful, anxiety ridden, and heavy laden
with so much hitting them.

Proverbs 12:25
Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down,
But a good word makes it glad.

It is a crazy World we live in and it’s not going to get easier as corruption and
wickedness continue to play together!

WHAT DOES A PERSON DO?

Although we are not to be totally ignorant of what is occurring around us as live in
recluse mentalities, the Lord does have a greater plan and focus for us during such
tough times.

YOU AND I AS CHILDREN OF GOD WILL NEVER REALLY FEEL AT
HOME HERE ON PLANET EARTH.

We have been Divinely implanted with a homing device deep in our spirits that
longs for the Home of Heaven. No more tears, no more night, no more longing to
fully be-long! We have been walking a pathway of preparation, each of us in
different stages of our lives, to transition from this decaying world and body into a
heavenly place of resurrection and eternal abundant life.

It’s the living here now that is so like rough grit sandpaper to our nerve endings!

2 Timothy 4:18
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack
And will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.
To him be glory for ever and ever

RUN TO THE SAFE HAVEN

A save haven is a place of protection, safety and hiddenness from the onslaught of
evil. Shelters are not necessarily luxurious nor are they places to be pampered and
babied in. They are underground dwelling places of safety, emptied of frills but
reinforced for protection.

Psalm 61:3
For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me,
A strong tower against the adversary.

The Spirit of the Lord is calling out to His People in this very very serious and
crucial moment to allow Him your ears that hear and your eyes that see to discern
where the signs of The Shelter for your soul are located!

THE SAFE HAVEN OF GOD IS A HIDDEN DEEP PLACE OF SAFETY
ONLY REVEALED TO THOSE OF PURE MOTIVE AND CLEAN HANDS.

The Lord is calling out to you and I;

“Come to Me! Run to Me! I know that you are heavily burdened by all of the
concentrated pressures mounting around you. Get to the Safe haven of My Safety.
A Dwelling place of Divine Rest and Protection. It will require you laying down
the things that so easily set you off and get you weighed down with concern and
anxiety.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting the whole of your cares
All your anxieties,
All your worries,
All your concerns,
Once and for all on Him.
For He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

COME TO THE SIMPLE PLACE.

“Huddle into the shadow of My Wings for I AM the Shelter and Refuge for the
child that heeds My voice and runs to Me, abandoning self made plans for
protection and self preservation.

I AM your shield,
I AM your Fortress.
But you must come to the Save Haven with no agenda in your heart or a statement
on your lips. You come to the Resting Place of Safety from the Storm to WAIT,
Ponder, Rest and rethink your Life call.”

A TIME FOR DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTMENT

We are in much need of a directional adjustment as believers right now as the world
turns itself upside down with malice, dictatorships, and political posturing. We
need to be certain that nothing of the world and its behaviors is hidden in our own
hearts. We must hear that Magnetic pulling voice of the Holy Spirit, and obey it
without turning left or right.

Deuteronomy 5:32
So be careful to do what the LORD your God has commanded you;
do not turn aside to the right or to the left

CONTINUAL SAFETY

When we walk in the way of surrender and tenderness with our ears attuned to the
still small voice of God, we actually walk in the Safe haven or Overshadowing
safety of the Presence of God. Training our spiritual ears to hear the voice of the
Father is a lifetime guarantee of knowing when the storms or troubles will arise and
is a promise for direction to a place of Divine Protection and direction whenever
needed.

Psalm 16:9
Therefore my heart is glad
and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure

REST CHILD OF GOD. REST!

It is the hardest thing the mind and body to do! Learning to rest when the world is
screaming at a fevered pitch,” WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW!” is a hard
learned yet reachable discipline if we will lean into it and ask for God’s help.

Hear the Voice of God calling you to enter into His rest. It is a place of pleasant
simplicity and uncluttered doctrine. His Presence silences all of the noise of the day
and noise of the Head.

HIS PRESENCE, HIS SAFE HAVEN, IS A SANCTUARY…
… FOR THE WEARY

Dear child of God!
There is no judgment or shame there.
It is a restful place of learning to take up an easy yoke and a light burden.

Perhaps right now….as you read this…you might just sit back away from music in
headphones or speakers, away from the ring tones on your phone and...Enter in to
the Safe haven of God.

Lay down the weight of worry and frustration. The anger at life all bottled up in
rage and gloom! All you need to take with you into the shelter is a willing heart.
Ready to trust the Divine Protector and Provider.

Enter…

…Into His Rest.

Psalm 33:22
May your unfailing love rest upon us,
O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

THE “CLIMATE” OF THE HEART IN THIS “GOD SEASON”



By the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow

OH HOW PRECIOUS IS THIS SEASON IN THE EARTH TO THE LORD!
In the spirit I see Him strategically placing people into
settings He has had designed from the very beginning of His
heart’s plan to redeem the earth.

At this time the Master King is simply stating...
…“Hold fast; do not let go,
until I have shown you My faithfulness.”

Psalm 119:31
I hold fast to your statutes, O LORD;
Do not let me be put to shame.

This is a bit of a test for those who love to be in that
“forerunner zone” of “let’s run!”
And! There is nothing God loves more than those
visionaries that have the foresight to see what is coming
down the road!

However! The Lord does not want any move orchestrated
by His voice, “tainted” with presumptions! He really does
know what He is planning and exactly how to facilitate this!

Psalm 19:13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me:
Then shall I be upright,
And I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

WE ALL ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE “SHIFT” IN THE SPIRITUAL HAPPENINGS OF GOD.
It is going to required great amounts of personal discipline
and again...(that word!).... Accountability to each other in
order to not “sour” or short circuit the will of God for our
lives. Our old habits and way of doing things die hard!

THE LORD URGES THOSE CALLED INTO THE STREAMS OF THE APOSTOLIC/PROPHETIC TO "LISTEN WISELY”
“ to the voice of the Holy Spirit and
not give in to merchandising the anointing nor take on any
form of “one-upmanship” in these days of the tempering of
the soul.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD UNDERSTANDS THE “CLIMATE” OF THE HEARTS OF MEN AND
WOMEN IN THIS “GOD SEASON.”

If any ministry calling “assumes” to know totally what the
body needs...they are in error! We only know and see in
part. That is why hearing the hearts and attitudes of others
are of highest importance at this time.

1 Corinthians 13:12
”For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a
dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or
enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see
in reality and face to face! Now I know in part
(imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand
fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have
been fully and clearly known and understood by God.”

CHOSEN ONE OF GOD!
HEAR THE VOICE OF THE GREAT AND WISE AUTHOR!
He is the foremost Father of the “harvest wave” about to
break upon the heart of mankind.

He the Spirit of God can speak clearly to you and direct you
in the way you walk, make decisions, and will help you flee
from temptation.

Psalm 29:4
”The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is majestic.”

THE FATHER IS SUPERNATURALLY AND
SYSTEMATICALLY CONNECTING PEOPLE OF HIS HEART AND THOSE WITH LIKE-

MINDED KINGDOM VISION…

…to fulfill His plans in the earth. Surprising Divine
relationships will be established among those who
understand the cost of finishing past Kingdom assignments
and did not bail out when the attacks and losses came
to rob the promise and God placed vision of their hearts.

Isaiah 6:8
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

YOU WHO HAVE SURVIVED THE ONSLAUGHTS OF DISCOURAGEMENT,
anxiety, near poverty, and desperation, have been made
into steeled vessels that can no longer be penetrated by
disappointment and ridicule.

Job 11:15
“Then you will lift up your face without shame;
You will stand firm and without fear”

Your trust is in the name of the Living God who will do
exploits in the face of those who mock the people of His
heart.

Daniel 11:32
“And such as do wickedly against the covenant
shall he corrupt by flatteries:
But the people that do know their God shall be strong,
and do exploits

“NOW IS THE TIME, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF GOD, NOW!”
“Stand. And having done all you know to do and all that I
have asked you to do. STAND, and see the salvation of your God.”

Proverbs 10:25
“When the storm has swept by,
the wicked are gone,
But the righteous stands firm forever.”

“LISTEN, LEARN, AND PREPARE.”
“I the King and Keeper of the seasons have sharpened your senses to obey
only to the promptings of My voice and not the voice of man.

I will trust you with the hidden things of My Kingdom as you
honor Me with offerings of worship, songs of the Spirit,
and self-abandonment.
The timing for My plans is measured in the scales of justice
and redemption.”

Psalm 33:5
“The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of his unfailing love.”

Psalm 115:1
Not to us, O LORD,
Not to us but to your name be the glory,
Because of your love and faithfulness.
