PROPHECY, JESUS SPEAKING
“In order that the Words of David be fulfilled, the ranks of The Family had to be purged. It was that sifting that brought forth the Children of David, those ones that would truly understand what it means to follow his Words. –This is the Gideon’s band, and I will continue to test and squeeze My band of warriors, for it is a necessary part of growth. There really is no resting place, no stopping place. You can find this example all throughout My creation. A seed is sown, and although dormant at the time of planting, with a little water and sunshine, it springs to life and the growing process begins. It doesn’t stop until harvest, then it is cut down and cast into the oven and burned. Still, the plant is not truly dead because the spirit of that plant lives on in the ear of corn, and at planting time, the process begins again. Yet, it’s not really beginning again because the seed is only one part of the continual process of growth and dormancy and growth.
So you see, all of My creation passes through the continual sifting and purging. That is the life of the spirit. What I do in the lives of My Gideon’s band is simply part of a process. So don’t allow yourself to settle down, because you could be part of My Family today and tomorrow find yourself sitting beside the road. You could be a member of My Gideon’s band today and tomorrow be cut down and cast into the oven. You have to constantly, continually remind yourselves that it is the water of My Word that keeps that sap and juices running through your spiritual life, and that without these elements you will not continue to grow.
I know this can sound very tiring, but it is only your flesh that cries tiredness, that says it is enough and wants to quit. Your spirit, on the other hand, does not tire or grow weary in well doing. It is the spirit of a man that sustains him. My Words have the power to sustain you through the crushing and breaking that I allow in a man’s life. When you neglect the Word, then you weaken under the stress and strain. This is why the enemy attacks your intake of My Word. He knows that if this time with Me can be snatched away, then he will win –without a doubt, he will overcome. In a way, you are like a plant in the field. There is always something attacking it, the sun, the wind, the rain, the bugs, the animals. That is the enemy; he’s always lurking, always looking for a way to attack. Only the nutrients taken in by constant intake of My Word will give you the resistance needed to resist his continual onslaught. The concept is so simple, yet millions and millions, yea billions neglect the very thing that will keep them going and growing.
Why did I make it so?
Well, it comes back to love. Everything comes back to love, doesn’t it? Here, take My hands and look at them. What do you see? Apart from the scars, you see flesh and bone, right? You see a normal set of hands, in many ways, just like yours. Yet if you were to look deeper, you would see the hands of your Creator. Of course you say, I know that. And yes, you do know that, but because of familiarity you do not perceive the depth of the matter; you do not see the heart of your Creator. You do not fully understand the intent of My heart; you do not understand the road map that I have written. It is there in My Word, yet again, familiarity has blinded you to so many truths weaved within the fabric of My Word. The Keys of the Kingdom have the power to remove the scales from your heart so that you will be able to see the infinite intricate details within the tapestry. It is not too much to ask Me to give you understanding, to open your mind to Mine, to open your spirit to full-possession. This is why I gave you the Keys to all these doors. And yet there is more, for I am eternal, omnipotent and omniscient, I am without end; My Word is without end. You understand only an infinitesimally minute fraction of a fraction of fraction of My road map. Your journey has only begun. Isn’t that exciting? This part of the journey is coming to a close. Your earth life is about to move into another dimension, and every time you absorb My Word you are making preparations for the shift in space.” (end)
“Is this thing that I am asking of you too hard? Is it difficult for you to pull back from the cave’s mouth and into the darkness with Me? I know the view out there is wonderful, it is green with so many interesting things happening. But I’ve told you that it is not your place now. Your place is with Me, not out there; concerning yourself with the things of the world.”
