Hello Brothers and Sisters!

Today’s podcast is specifically focused on a word from the Lord that I have had stirring in my spirit and with current events and all of the tragedies taking place around us, many people are either paralyzed, angry, or are extremely, extremely in despair. 

Many are being driven into a deeper place of prayer and it is also bringing to light, the weaknesses that many of us as believers have! 

So, this word is a word of encouragement and also a directive from the Holy Spirit and I believe that it is a strong word and has such powerful encouragement in it so I’m going to deliver it to you just as I have received it from the Lord. 

So let’s go!

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS SAYING...

"Be very careful whom you share your treasures with. How many pearls have you cast before piggish users in the past, only to have them ground to powder?

The servant Paul the apostle was more than a new herald in the order of the day. He stirred up old systems and disturbed demonic religious strongholds. You must be ready to "power up" for years of opposition and hoards of religious factions and fractures of truth!

The past years of agony have been hard soldierly-like boot camp. 

Elite forces training.

It will not go away. 

You must simply learn that it is My duty to do the fighting for you.

Just be certain that you are only speaking, ONLY SPEAKING, what I have told you to.  Speak Nothing more and Speak Nothing less."

 

THIS IS A TIME IN THE KINGDOM 

WHERE WE ALL MUST SOBERLY COUNT THE COST 

OF WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO STEP INTO ON EVERY LEVEL.

 

If there is not the peace of the Holy Spirit resting on those whom you are involved with, don't move into anything until the peace comes.

Gatherings and movements can feel real exciting and purposeful, until conflict, control, and competition show up.

The apostolic and prophetic saints in Acts, fasted, ministered to the Lord, and then the Holy Spirit spoke. 

We have all learned many a painful lesson in the past from experiences of over planning, programming, and hurrying to help God out!

 

To everything there is a season, a time. 

Until you have a full green light, don't move. 

 It will keep you from having to backtrack and...

 …It trains you in humility.

 

Familiar Friends OR RELATIONSHIPS?

Ask yourself the following question. 

"Are you simply familiar with people or are you working in relationship with others and those whom you feel are to move into a more Kingdom minded level of Spiritual intimacy with?"

 

IF YOU SHARE WHAT IS PASSIONATELY BURNING IN YOUR SPIRIT WITH THOSE WHO ONLY "RELATE" 

ON A CASUAL SPIRITUAL LEVEL THEMSELVES… 

 …YOU WILL BE CONTINUALLY DEVASTATED.

 

Spiritual intimacy can only be as deep as those who spend the time in spiritually intimate worship, waiting, and self-examining dialog with the Father, and in relating to others of a likeminded heart. 

This is not easy for busy, human life!

 

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves."

Philippians 2: 1-3

 

A PROPHETIC WORD CONCLUSION:

"Hear Me”, Cries the Spirit of Holy Grace and Mercy! 

I desire to move upon, in, and through each of you. 

Not one of you alone can endure the onslaughts of evil by standing aloof and silent.

Nor can the most vocal of gifts among you clearly communicate all that I long to express.

Until each one is willing to step into the Holy place of pure relationship with Me and with one another, waiting, crying out, Yes - even waiting until I come and refresh, then the generation waiting in the wings will not fully come forward.

Until it is branded into your spirits that this era in time is for the saving of the lost, the redeeming of the wasted, and the release of My power, of My glory, you will be so very, very frustrated by the heaviness that doggedly harasses your soul.

What I ordain, I cover. What I command, I give direction to. 

Be certain that you have heard what I am saying.

I am fully aware of the weariness and fatigue you have been experiencing.

Heavier than anything you can recall from the past.

 

"Do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you!"  -1 Peter 4:12

There are many, many others globally who are also still wrestling out of the cocoon in new birth and are suffering also. PRAY FOR THEM!

Hellish warfare will be a normal activity in the days ahead. 

Unless you harness the power of consistent prayer and train yourselves in regular gatherings of passion in prayer and worship together, you will shrink back into serious doubt, anxiety, bitterness and dread, when the trauma of warfare attacks!!

 

GIVE VOICE TO MY SPIRIT! 

Awaken your mute tongue and give voice to My name, My power and My Kingdom Solutions! No weapon formed against you will ultimately prosper! 

My Spirit longs to declare wonders, to decree Justice, and to destroy darkness with your lips proclaiming from the spirit.

"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."  - Isaiah 55:11

Speak out in truth and in praise and I will step into your midst with the peace you have been craving, and groping for. 

 

Quickly! Enter in before you reflect and exchange ideas. 

After I am given My rightful place of honor and adoration, then I will speak and give you clear vision and direction.”

 

"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I will lay my requests before you, 

And wait in expectation."  -Psalm 5:3

 

My friends, this is a word from the Lord and I encourage you to heed the word of the lord and not immediately go to the assessing and the sanitization of what some would do with a prophetic word from the Lord. 

He’ll show you what parts aren’t accurate or what parts aren’t fitting for you right now.

 

THE GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THIS WORD IS THAT THE LORD IS CALLING US TO A PLACE OF BATTLE, A PLACE OF PRAYER, A PLACE OF GROWTH. A place of tenacity and letting go of bitterness where we feel unfairly treated, where we feel like life will never get better.

 

THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT GOD IS SAYING! 

If you want to continue to say these things, then you stand in the way of him being the ONE who is the Redeemer of time.

We need to have a challenge to each believer in the Body of Christ, each of you who are servants of the Lord. Every one of you!

 

Every person listening has an assignment from the Father at this time to tell someone else about the Lord, to tell others who are feeling weak and discouraged, angry or bitter, that the need to be understanding that they are called to now grow up into the faith and to not just listen to what other people say, not be inundated with media and false narratives and lies about what Jesus says in His Word. 

It is time to stand in the place of trust and ask God to strengthen us in every way, yielding every ounce of our being into His care. 

I bless you today in the mightiest and most powerful and Supreme, dynamic name there is ever to be, and that is the name of Jesus Christ the Messiah. 

We know that God is Sovereign!

JEREMIAH WAS KNOWN AS THE 'WEEPING PROPHET’. 

Some say he was called at the age of 17. 

He was called to reprove a crumbling nation. The Israelite nation. 

Unfortunately for them they didn’t listen to him. But during his day, people were so hardened by sin that they neither believed God nor feared him. They seem to find Jeremiah's constant warning of judgment overbearing and frankly, annoying.

 

IT'S THE SAME WITH US NOW. 

Those that hear our warning find us obnoxious! 

But as believers we are supposed to follow God's instructions to warn a lost and dying world of upcoming judgment. Even though most are not listening, we still have to persevere in courageously speaking truth in order to rescue some from the terrible judgment that will inevitably come. If we are so easily discouraged at fighting the rude behavior of our peers what are we going to do, when we are confronted by demons? 

 

The LORD rebukes Jeremiah for his impatience in Jeremiah 12:5 saying, 

“If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace [where you feel secure], Then how will you do among the lions in the flooded jungle thicket beside the Jordan?”

 

If we are distraught when we can't make a car payment, what will we do when we lose our job?

If the footmen weary you what will the horses do?

 

If we are distressed at the terrorism going on overseas, what will we do when it’s in our own neighborhoods? Because it already is!

If the footmen weary you what will the horses do?

 

If we are overwhelmed with the work we have now, what will we do when a double or triple portion is required of us? 

If the footmen weary you what will the horses do?

 

GOD IS REMINDING JEREMIAH (AND US) 

THAT THERE IS MUCH MORE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT 

THAN WHAT WE’RE COMPLAINING ABOUT.

 

THERE IS SOMETHING AHEAD OF US IN THIS SEASON MY FRIENDS 

THAT ARE OF MORE CONCERN THAN PETTY GRIEVANCES AGAINST THOSE 

WHO SEEM TO BE BETTER OFF OR LIVE EASIER THAN WE DO. 

 

God is telling Jeremiah “If you are not able to encounter lesser dangers, how will you be able to overcome greater ones?” 

Jesus said to us in 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! Take Courage! I have overcome the world.”

 

IT’S NATURAL THAT OUR HARDEST DAYS AND MOST DIFFICULT TRIALS ARE AHEAD OF US, NOT BEHIND US. If you are worried and in great upset about these things, what are you going to do when you are forced to face extremely difficult trials and troubles that are most certainly just around the bend?

Matthew Henry said, “The faith even of strong believers may sometimes be sorely shaken and ready to fail them. There will be storms that will try the firmest anchors.” Now, Isn’t that the truth? 

 

JEREMIAH WAS CONSUMED WITH GRIEF ABOUT THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED in Anathoth when just in a short time He would be beaten in Jerusalem by order of the priest Pashhur (instead of worrying about the prosperity of heathens in Anathoth, he was about to be severely punished by a priest in Jerusalem). 

Let's take a sneak peek of what is in store for Jeremiah:

“He had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper gate of Benjamin at the Lord’s temple.” Jer. 20:2

 

GOD SAW THIS COMING WHEN JEREMIAH WAS CRYING 

ABOUT THE PROSPERITY OF THE WICKED!

 

If Jeremiah had known what was going to happen ahead of him, He wouldn't have wasted time complaining about the men of Ana Thoth. Jeremiah was concerned about something insignificant when something greater needed his attention. 

And, His own family was secretly conspiring against him — they spoke well of him to his face but were trying to incite a mob against him behind his back. They seemed to be friendly but they were really his enemies.

 

God's Faithful Servants Shouldn't Think It Strange 

That Their Enemies Are In Their Own Family, 

Some Living Under Their Own Roof.

 

Jesus told us in Matthew 10:34-35 

“For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies will be the members of his own household.”

 

SO FRIENDS, IF THE FOOTMEN WEARY YOU WHAT WILL THE HORSES DO? 

I know I keep repeating the statement because it’s what the Holy Spirit would have me consistently say so that you hear the challenge and that you are strengthened to stand up and be courageous, now!

 

GOD'S ANSWER TO JEREMIAH WAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED TO STAY SOLID AND IMMOVABLE IN HIS WALK WITH GOD, because there were bigger trials ahead of him that needed his attention. But God does let him know what will happen to Israel and her enemies. Although God punishes Israel by allowing her enemies to overtake the land, God would not let her enemies sacrilegiously use that land which belongs to Israel. Even their land is blessed!

“But after I uproot them, I WILL AGAIN HAVE COMPASSION and will bring each of them back to his own inheritance and his own country.” (Jeremiah 12:15)

God will again deliver his people from their enemies by uprooting them just as he did when they were suffering in Egypt. 

 

GOD SHOWS THAT EVEN HIS ENEMIES MAY RECEIVE COMPASSION AND GRACE.

“And if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the LORD lives' even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal – then they will be established among my people.” (V.16)

 

GOD'S EXPECTATION IS PLAIN. 

If Israel's enemies would pay homage to God the way they did for Baal, (a dead and dumb idol) if they could humble themselves to follow the God of Israel instead of teaching Israel to follow idols they would be rewarded, but if not...

“'But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it,' declares the LORD” (v. 17)

 

GOD'S CALL AND PLAN AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR US CAN BE SUMMED UP IN 

I CORINTHIANS 16:13 

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” 

 

OUR GREATEST DIFFICULTIES ARE AHEAD OF US, NOT BEHIND US.

(If our troubles were always behind us, we would never grow as a Christian.) 

We mustn’t waste time complaining about petty things. 

Quickly put on your helmet, take up your sword and shield, tighten your armor and get ready! Get ready to run with the horses!

God offers Jeremiah a beautifully wise word picture for him to consider. 

He essentially asks Jeremiah, “If footmen weary you, what will the horses do?” 

 

PAUL REFERRED TO LIFE AS A RACE. 

Makes sense, after all, it has a beginning, middle, and a strong determination to finish strong. It requires endurance, patience, devotion and a resolution to finish strong. At the end of his life Paul said, “I have finished the race.” And referring to Jeremiah's race God is saying: If running with others on foot, when everything is equal, what are you going to do when they are given horses?

In this verse the prophet Jeremiah has been complaining about his persecutors. God Divinely answers, and warns Jeremiah about his impatience, and then tells him that harder trials are in store for him. 

What? More distressing times? 

 

We all have had the experience of how in our lives, there are long stretches of uneventful days, and then, generally without warning, some crisis is sprung on us, which demands quite a different set of gifts to cope with it. Our monsoons in Colorado generally come without any warning from a falling barometer.

 

WE CAN AT ANY MOMENT BE CONFRONTED WITH SOME HARD DUTY,

WHICH WILL EXHAUST OUR ENERGY.

 

We may at any moment be plunged in some huge calamity and the quiet course of our lives for years suddenly is interrupted with fierce storms and devastating fallout. 

 

WE WON’T ALWAYS HAVE THE EASY FOOT RACE WITH FOOTMEN. 

There will some times come a call to strain our muscles to keep up with the gallop of the cavalry. We will have to struggle to keep our feet in the rising waters of difficultly, and must not expect to have a continual leisurely life in ‘a land of peace.’

 

With the power of Jesus in our spirits we shall never have to attempt 

a duty that we are not first strengthened by Him to take on. 

And we never have to face a danger in which He won’t defend us. 

 

With His life in us we will be ready for the long hours of uneventful, unexciting duties, and for the short spurts that make precise calls on each of us to respond to. We ‘WILL run and not be weary; we will walk and not faint.’ 

 

As I finish this podcast I’d like to share what Oswald Chambers said about patience during the time of great difficulty and when the world is filled with uprising.  It is so powerful and quite comforting.

 

THE DUTY OF PATIENCE – by Oswald Chambers

"Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth" (Rev. 3:10).

Jesus says we are to keep the word of His patience. There are so many things in this life that it seems much better to be impatient about. 

The best picture to explain this is that of an archer: 

He pulls the bowstring further and further away from his bow with the arrow solidly fixed in its slot, then, when it is adjusted, with his eye on the target he lets it fly. 

The Christian's life is like that. God is the archer. 

He takes the saint like a bow which He stretches, and we get to a certain point and say,” I can't stand any more, I can't stand this test of patience any longer," but God goes on stretching. 

He is not aiming at OUR TARGET mark, but at His own, and the patience of the saints is that we hold on until He lets the arrow fly straight to His goal." 

 

Are you ready for a time of strengthening to come into your life? 

The Lord promises that a dramatic transformation will take place in us when we abandon our agenda and open ourselves to His plan for us. 

We can see this so clearly in the life of Saul before he had become the Apostle Paul. 

Saul had been intent upon his own evil strategy to persecute Christians. Then came his life-changing encounter with Jesus, when he asked the most important question of all in Acts 9:6: 

“Lord, what do YOU want me to do?”

 

FRIEND! ARE YOU READY TO ASK THE LORD THAT SAME QUESTION? 

Are you ready to give up your own fruitless designs in return for God’s better plan?

 

LET’S PRAY THAT TOGETHER NOW.

Lord Jesus, I have been moving forward persistently with my own thoughts and plans. 

I have been intent upon seeing those accomplished.

Now I see that despite my good intentions, my plans may not be in line with Yours.

Right now, I humble myself before You. 

I take this moment to ask, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” 

In Your presence, I place my agenda on the shelf, and I open my heart and my hands to Your plans and purposes.

I belong to You, Lord. Please forgive me for any stubbornness that may have captivated me. 

I pull down that stronghold right now—any thought that needs to be taken captive to the obedience of Christ. 

I place my future in Your hands, Lord Jesus. 

Have Your way—and only Your way—in my life. Amen.

The Torrents of Religious and Political Posturing Vs. The Authentic Voice of God - Prophetic Exhortation and Insights

 

⬆️ Please Click The Picture To Listen to Podcast   (Length: 15 minutes) by Mary Lindow We Are On The Cusp Of Probably One Of The Greatest Days  Of The Dismantling Of Religious Behavior And Abuse In The Charismatic Church And Evangelical Church To Date.   In the days ahead we’re going to see many people hungering for that sacred time in worship where there is a waiting upon the Lord, and in the honoring of his name. Clearly we attract the presence of the Lord when we are focused upon “The Presence”, and not upon the performance.   We shouldn’t be surprised if like Jesus, we collide with torrents of political & religious and cultural expectations. So, on a daily basis, our purity of vision to move toward the Kingdom will also cause us deep discomforts that will ask us to set aside our preferences, and our convenience.   This  pressing towards the Kingdom will ask us to say things that we’d rather not say, to go places that we’d rather not go, to give away things that we’d rather keep.  And in this discomfort, each time we have an opportunity to cry out to God:  “Where did you go? Why does pursuing your kingdom of abundance and peace not always feel like abundance and peace?” I’d like to offer these possibilities to ponder.  In every way, He’s purifying your heart.    WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION THAT IS BEGINNING TO DRIVE PEOPLE AWAY FROM RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES  AND STRUCTURAL PROGRAMMING?   Is it fatigue from fleshly efforts? Is it weariness with well doing? Or! Is it the beginning of a matter?   A. W. Tozer once said, "Self Is The Blurred Veil That Hides The Face Of God From Us. It Can Be Removed Only In Spiritual Experience,   Never By Simple Instruction."   The Lord is allowing man to have the joy and shock of coming to the end of his means of prodding and producing until he falls into a heap at the feet of the One who has the key to the place of hope and rest! He. The King of tranquility and Divine Purpose have the place of Sanctuary carved out in a definite place.   THE PLACE OF WORSHIP "But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter." "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself--Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” That is all from John: 23-24   APOSTOLIC ORIGINS BEGAN WITH THE DEVOTED AND YET WEARY DISCIPLES OF JESUS COMING TOGETHER IN A "PLACE" OF WAITING, RESTING AND WORSHIPING Those waiting in an upper room. Hiding from the world and its pressures and threat Waiting. Worshiping. REMEMBERING the past things they had experienced while walking with Jesus. They were asking the heart questions of, "Why are we here? What are we waiting for? What is this all about?"   My Brothers and Sisters, We are Again... ...In the same place.   WE ARE SIMPLY RESTING IN THE KNOWLEDGE  THAT THE LORD HAS BROUGHT US TO END OF THE OF THE PAST WAYS AND FORMS OF MAN. He is preparing the way of His Power with a place of personal introspection and heart searching until we see that we must be truthful in our worship of Him. We must come into agreement with His Spirit and the way that He desires to move among those who know Him, and among those who do not. Old things are passing away. LOOK! He does a new thing! New to us, BUT Not To Him.   AS WE BECOME OBSESSED WITH THE IDEA OF NOTHING TO PERFORM, nothing to take to task, nothing to self generate but only to "marinate" and saturate in, we see the promises He has made begin to be realized. We must bring a mind, which has been emptied of old prejudices, old traditional theology, human philosophy and false data. A mind so fully humble and empty that the Lord can reveal to it great, bright depths of truth and beauty, and floods of spiritual understanding that we have never dreamed of before!  (Amplified Bible) "Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.' -Jeremiah 33:3   Francis Frangipane says it best. "We must bring hearts that are emptied of our abundant earthly attachments and sad, “holier-than-thou” sentimentalism, old friendships, old day intuitive loves." We must bring empty hands that have handed over our own works, all planning strategies and “string pulling” for self.  Hands and hearts that hold onto no toys, and to no Treasure. Hands that bring no human demand or bargaining skills. Hands so empty that they can grip firmly the Sword of the Spirit, the cross, or the tool that God may put into them."   Dear Friend!  God fills our nature and fills our lives in relationship to how they are emptied for Him.  God knows our heart. He sees what we can’t see. If we allow Him, He begins taking out all the impurities, emptying us of ourselves and filling us with Himself – so He can use us as a vessel of honor.   SO OFTEN AS OF LATE, IN PLACES OF MEETING AND GATHERINGS OF HUNGRY SAINTS, THE HOLY HUSH OF HEAVEN HAS FALLEN  WITH SUCH SWEETNESS AND SIMPLICITY.   All the fancy trappings of "noisy worship strategy" pale compared to this heavy rich perfumed presence that descends on those who will wait upon the Lord and grow stronger. There is no need for airy or trendy teachings and thoughts. No need for the pious and well-oiled speeches implying the way to go. (Because they say so!) Blessed are those who are willing to release all that is not THE Kingdom in them, who let their hearts be purified, for they shall see God himself—God’s life being birthed in every challenge. God’s kingdom coming on Earth as it is in heaven. As we wait. Humble. At His feet... ...He moves upon many within the Body to rise up and declare, to share, risk, expound and grow in the Grace of God, as well as in much Mercy.   You are right in the middle of God's process for you.  You don't have to settle for God's second best because of somebody else's choices or your own. As you are being who you are in Him, you can do what you are supposed to do. You may have disappointments, but your life is His story with depth, adventure, suspense, surprising plot turns, and darkness that Jesus defeated. Be blessed as you understand more of His story that He is writing in your life.  1 Peter 1:5. "...Who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."   God surrounds you with His favor as a shield.  You are shielded by His power, so that in every dark thing you experience, you can live large and strong. God put you on earth in your exact place for His specific purpose,  and you are living in that purpose, even when you don't know it. Your soul may be grumbling and resisting,  but you are living the story that God is ready to reveal to you. God is a lot bigger than you expect Him to be.  He's a lot bigger than your circumstances. He is the God of detail.  He is deeply involved in the small details of your life.   HEAVEN LONGS TO KISS THE EARTH AGAIN .The King of Heaven is descending with an unexplainable and definite wave of stillness It is His manifested Presence. In His Presence. His Sanctuary, is fullness. Completion. Needs met... ...And Joy.   Let's pray from Ephesians 1.  I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.  That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion. And every name that is invoked not only in the present age, but also in the one to come. In the power of that name we pray. Amen.    NOW I ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO BE AFRAID  WHEN THE EARTH IS SHAKING  AND STRANGE AND ODD THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE!    Understand, God is not weak. He is not deaf. He is not asleep. But, he does have an extended power in mercy because he knows that when his justice and judgment is kindled and he moves, it is sovereignty complete and there is no turning back. This is a time for us to do personal examination, and yeah, there’s a lot of stuff being shaken. A lot of people have been warned, a lot of ministries have still chosen to hide things that are going to come out, because they chose not to go the way of accountability and repentance, and the Lord has to let it come to pass. He doesn’t want his sheep deceived, and he certainly doesn’t want them abused, but it’s also happening in individual lives. If we’re looking to the church and if we’re looking to leaders to be our ultimate guide, then the Lord will allow us to have great disappointment and failures there.   EACH OF US IS TO COME BEFORE THE FATHER!  Jesus said how to pray. He taught us!  He said to say, “My Father, you are in heaven, holy, holy is your name! Let your kingdom come, let your will be done, (which means in our lives and in others lives) like it is in heaven, and give us today our daily bread. You see, we look forward to everything we want now down the road instead of accepting that today is enough, it’s sufficient.   So I encourage you to get still, get quiet. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. It says in the word, "Whether you turn to the left or to the right there is a voice behind you saying this is the way, walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)  It may not be pleasant, may not be popular, and it certainly may not be comfortable, but it is safe and it will keep you in a place where you are determined and at peace to serve the Lord.   REMEMBER, DON’T BE AFRAID.  Don’t listen to the frightening narratives, don’t give into the sounds around you telling you to be afraid because that’s the goal of the enemy. Satan comes to bring fear and steal and rob your peace and destroy your trust in the Lord, and Jesus said,  "I AM come! I am! I have come that you might have life, and have it to the fullest!' That’s John 10:10.  And what that means is “might have life to the fullest”.   We have to choose to not listen to the world’s narratives, and trust me some of them sound really great! There are some great analytics out there, brillant minds. Brilliant voices, but if they don’t have the God breath, breathed on them, and they are not hearing from God accurately and it is nothing more than just a bunch of propaganda, or people trying to sell stuff, you’re going to get sucked into looking for answers and places that will come up empty.   The voice of God is big, but sometimes it’s very still and he wants us to discipline ourselves to get away from our phones get away from all the stuff, and simply bask and wait… … Until he speaks.   I bless you today, and I look forward to our next podcast together. Goodbye for now!   Duplication and sharing of this message is welcomed provided that complete article, Podcast link and website information for Mary Lindow is included. Thank You!
