called to use our time to promote the building of the Kingdom of our Father.
Ephesians 2:19-22;“ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
Leaving to follow; I had no idea when the Lord told me to shut down my ministry 3 years ago, what it would take to prepare me to be sent by God. Jesus not only led me away from what I understood to be a good ministry in leading people into a deeper relationship with the Lord, but over the next several years I was also asked to sell all that I had in order to follow Him.
Over the course of those three years I spent more and more time with the Lord, which continued to lead me into a much deeper relationship with Him. The progression has never stopped as the Spirit of the Lord continues to speak deeper things to me about His love toward me, about His people, about what is coming and how more things will come together and work out in the future.
As the Lord does this, I continued to discover deeper places of intimacy, which caused me to want more. Looking back, I realised I was in the beginnings of discovering that Jesus was leading me back to where Adam and Eve lived and dwelled with the Lord daily, a place where the presence of God and the realms of heaven become one with us. We also walk back into realms where sickness and disease are healed and restoration occurs everywhere we are sent.
How unfortunate it is that most people have tried to put God in a box. He’ s been treated like some sort of a genie as people want instant gratification from their prayers, and answers to all of their needs; I call this‘ the superficial fast food society’ that seeks selfish needs and desires. Revelation 3:17- 20;“ Because you say,‘ I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’— and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
God is a Father who absolutely adores us, wants only the best for each of us and loves to have His children close to Him; which is the statement made clear in vs. 20, as we are invited to dine with Him.
To buy gold refined in the fire means we must lay down everything at the cross. The fire from heaven is God’ s love that purifies His temple to become like Him. The basic plan is in leading us back into intimacy with the Lord Jesus and each other, a place that brings us back into His Father’ s presence. This too is the garden where we walk back into the heavenly realms God created us to dwell in, realms that I have been experiencing since the Lord led me back.
Our primary goal is to build an Ark; which is a covenant
relationship such as Noah had.“ But as in the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:37.
Noah heard from the Lord that there was a massive storm approaching so he prepared. We have also been warned of the coming storms called the Seven Seals, the Seven Trumpets, and the Seven Bowls of God’ s judgments.( see Revelation)
For years the Lord has been speaking to me through dreams and visions regarding these and recently said that they would no longer be postponed. The emphasis of the coming storm has been placed upon Revelation 6:5-6, regarding the third seal, and natural disasters.
The world’ s economic system is an evil force that is coming under God’ s judgment and all that are involved in it will suffer to a degree. The shaking that is coming is called the great tribulation, which is also something we need not worry about if we have built our ark unto the Lord.
Fear not, for Noah found safety in covenant with God and so his entire family was saved. God is our Father who loves and saves us from trouble. He does He bring judgment upon those who follow after Him but brings us into the greatest blessings found in the garden; the paradise of God where the heavenly realms bring healing, wholeness and harmony to us and our families. God is love, seek Him with all your heart with the understanding that He adores you and continually wants the best for us all, which is why He gave His One and only Son, Jesus Christ. p
