Mega Shalom to you from Israel! I have some fresh manna for your life this morning from Abba! So get your hearts ready to receive! This is a 911 wakeup call on the anniversary of September 11th!
I have noticed the last few months an end-time phenomenon that is a deadly camouflaged trap that you and I need to re-identify in this darkening late hour. The specialized recon anointing that comes with being a watchman enables us to see what is starting to appear on the horizon in the night and then anoints us to also sound the shofar to wake you up for evasive maneuvers. This EMM today is not just for your reading info stimulus...this is a deadly serious call to each of you...even though what you are about to read may seem like something that is not to be greatly alarmed about, since you have managed to avoid this scenario so many times before in your life. But you may not be able to manage this one this time when it cycles in again upon our culture according to Matthew 24....
This is how I see it right now with so many believers that have come across my path this last year.
Believers are way too busy in our culture. I do not just mean "busy" with the everyday errands of life and their vocations, but so busy they do not see the dangerous pre-surf zone current of these last days and where it is taking them. I'm talking about the area just before the shoreline that can trap even the most experienced swimmer or surfing enthusiast. A place that unless you take drastic evasive actions now, you will be swept into a zone where each wave that did entertain you while you surfed is now systematically going to beat and keep you down until you have no strength to get up for air. I'm talking about a camouflaged destructive zone you must paddle away from now! Jesus warned us about these things in these last days!
What camouflaged destructive zone am I talking about?
Many are just too busy. Many are way over-committed. Many have no time to truly spend with Abba. Many complain of being too tired. Many feel angry and way too stressed out. Many that were healthy are now sick. Many are scattered by the hirelings and have no good fellowship to worship in. And too many are also in deep financial debt!
So when are we going to really and truly obey? When are we going to return back to the ancient paths He has been whispering to us? When are we going to spend "quality" time at His feet once again? On your next vacation...forget about it.
So this is the warning today dear friends.... It is time to make time and return back to that sweet intimate secret place with Him. That place where all those battery and electrical communication devices must be turned off because they are so grievous to His gentle whisper. It is time to get alone with your Creator and listen to Him in that secret place and ruthlessly keep every hindrance to this place out of your way!
Psalms 23 states so poetically yet also so ruthlessly..."He makes me lie down in the green pastures." No He doesn't "invite" you to lie down in the green pastures, He MAKES you lie down. And if you don't obey then that is why He carries a large staff. So the question must be answered, "If you are too busy to lie down and rest with Him then am I a rebel? (Yes). Am I a sheep yet acting like a goat? (Hmmm, Yes) How long has it been since I have listened to The Shepherd and just laid down and not gotten up until He communicated to do so?" Oh yes, we all jump up to get to that mobile phone when it suddenly rings, but what about His still gentle whisper from the aquifers of deep speaking unto deep? Could it be that all these surmounting problems in my life that are keeping me busy and stressed out is His secondary staff to "make" me lie down at His feet for my good? (Hmmm, Yes)
I know of some very anointed men and women of God who were so busy for "God" that He had to "make" them lie down in a hospital bed or on an extended sabbatical somewhere secluded so He could finally dismantle them in His mysterious desert river paradigm! And I know of others who had to be brought down financially so He could re-irrigate them back to life to only be trusting in Him! Why? Because He is the good Shepherd and if you don't lie down in His green pastures and His waters of rest at His mysterious biddings, then He has other ways of making you obey..... (See Hebrews 12)
So dear friends, please take the time to quickly and ruthlessly obey His still small voice that is coming to you in this hour and rest in His place of choosing! Don't worry about those other things when His sudden biddings come to "interrupt" our daytimers! Just please get into that place of rest and get that refreshing you need before the next cycle of events (Luke 21) begin to take place on planet earth. This place of rest is where true faith (not mental assent) is birthed & brought to full term for those miracles you need!
It is 911, so see ya down at those rivers of His rest!
In His service for your faith,
