We need to make sure the enemy doesn't have any legal right to harass the body of Christ. This is an area many might neglect checking to see if the door is closed here. "To the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.'" Genesis 3:16. I've been meditating on Genesis 3:16 this week. One Bible translation interpreted it as Eve's desire to dominate Adam, while others saw it as her desire for her husband. I read a commentary that scholars debate whether the verse means to dominate or simply to desire. After the Fall, [fall of man] we came under a curse that caused many to follow their lust and pride instead of God. I felt the verse meant Eve desired to dominate Adam. Adam became frustrated and wanted to rule over Eve.
Set my spirit free so that I may worship You. Set my spirit free so that I may praise Your name. Let all bondage go and let deliverance flow. Set my spirit free to worship You! Close to fifty years ago, I visited a church that was Spirit-filled. I was in dire need of deliverance at the time, and because of the powerful anointing on the praise and worship, I was overcome with the conviction of the Holy Spirit. We used to sing songs of praise that would stay with me throughout the day. I would wake up with a song in my mind. A
This Word is for those who have allowed themselves to be hindered and distracted from their highest calling. This is a day of Restoration. Can you imagine having a life that is carefree, full of joy, and full of the ambition to do The Father's Will? Well, that is the type of life that is promised to you if you would only cast all your cares upon The LORD and stand on the many promises given to you in His Word. Many are carrying their cares and are overloaded and overwhelmed, because they are trying to take control when they should be giving all control to The Master of their life.
Around 3 a.m., the Words "A Cataclysmic Collapse" came to me. Later that morning, I came across 1 Thessalonians 5:3, which speaks of peace and sudden destruction. "While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape." 1 Thessalonians 5:3. I had never heard of "A Cataclysmic Collapse" and didn't even know its spelling. I looked it up on my dictionary app. I never dwell on The LORD's Judgments or anything negative about the future, even though The LORD warns about these end times.
After viewing a prophetic painting of The Lion of Judah, the anointing came over me, and I wrote as I conversed with the Savior: Now is the time and the hour for the Lord to pour out His power and through those who are made ready! Yes, I can feel it. Those who are in the third trimester, birth it forth! The breaking of the water, the rushing of the wind, it is coming! To sweep through us like a mighty waterfall busting down the dams and letting the River flow forth!
Our heart's desire is to be in the center of God's perfect will, and that is to preach His word with signs following—to heal the sick, to see blind eyes opened, to raise the dead, to see legs grow out. Jesus said that even greater things than these you will do because I go unto My Father. When you experience the flow of His spirit, you don't want to settle for less in this mundane life. You feel that there is nothing in it for you, but this is where the Lord purges the dross, conforming us into His image, honing our character, working on the pride, patience, etc., developing the fruit of His spirit in us.
Because of this attack from the enemy, I was reminded that in natural birthing, the part where you start to lose control is during transition. I've been prophesied over several times that I was in the third trimester in birthing forth the will of God through worship intercession and that I would need midwives to pray the birthing through. This prophecy was given to me many years ago, and I know there have been multitudes of hindrances to this breakthrough.
When the enemy comes in like a flood the Lord raises up a standard against him. When he says that the fire we go through will burn us, we tell him to flee and say what is true! The fire of His love will purge out of us anything that is hindering us to conform into His image, to trust Him, to need Him, to not be complacent or independent, but most of all so that we would become "on fire" for Him. If it takes coming down to death's door to get us to really draw near to Him, He will use the enemy that way.
This is the day of great awakening among My people, for I have fore-warned them long enough of the pending judgment that is coming upon the land, but My people sit idly like if there is no tomorrow. They do not prepare themselves for the future, but they waste their time going on with the foolish empty gestures of wasting their time. I love My people, but I need to shake them to wake them to what is ahead.
This is Father's Day, and as I seek Him, this is what The Father says to me. The Father says: To meditate upon His Word. To break it down bite by bite in order to digest it. To bring forth the nutrients within it. To do His Will. We are to be like a deer that is panting after a water brook with such intensity as if we are dying to know Him and the purpose He has called us to fulfill — to know the burden of His heart for others and more for the lost.
