Shrouded In The Mystery

Blinded by the Love of the deep,

Though shrouded in mystery, my soul it keeps

At rest in the treasuries that my heart has found

When surrounded by your flames and cloud

Have my life, my all I give to you

In this immeasurable space, so tenebrous how can I know?

Is this place confined or do boundless heights peer overhead?

Shrouded in the mystery, I lay this life down to be near to You

If this is death, then how does it sting? The thoughts of fear surrounding surely had concealed

The beauty of what Your jealousies demanded, all rightfully Yours

I yield to this Holy Passion, and place my heart in Your right Hand

Where righteousness and justice live out every one of Your commands

Life over death You have already proven, and You’ve led me here

Shrouded in the mystery to show me the depths where the grave could not hold You

That I may not see it’s void frame though instead taste of Your Breathe and Behold You

Because even here Your precious Blood still speaks of the offering You gave that sealed me as Yours

I am ever alive with Your glowing flame of Love as my guide

How can darkness overwhelm when Your burning heart consumes my desire?

Your blazing eyes of fire, taking all of me, I am held captive by Your gaze

Shrouded in the mystery Your Blood my wine, Your Body my food, why should I depart?

Whether furious rivers of pains and persecutions, or Majestic wonders of Your company ~

I do not know, I do not care – for in Your Arms it is indifferent

From the Heights to the Depths you have known me, and as I live to know You

We are becoming ~ I in You and You in me We are together One throughout all Eternity

Shrouded in the mystery, wrapped in Eternity’s flame You removed the veil,

I saw Your Face, I beheld Your Form

It was Holy Jealous Love that sent you to the grave

With Supernatural certainty You have declared I am Your Bride,

My soul cannot belong to another

Sing a new song King David has instructed

In Heaven’s wisdom Solomon his son has responded, shrouded in mystery he penned

The Song of all Songs that unite me to my Bridegroom’s heart

The Root of Jesse, Son of David, wrapped in Light is my favorite Man

Bride’s to be do you know Him?

Will you choose to come to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb?

Jesus the Christ, the spotless Lamb slain for this Banquet – He has invited all

The Bridegroom King is beckoning you must draw near,

For soon it will be time to feast!

”For the Lord your God is a consuming fire; He is a jealous (impassioned) God [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely His].“ Deuteronomy 4:24 AMP

”Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as my prisoner of love. My passion is stronger than the chains of death and the grave, all consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being. Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore.“ Song of Songs 8:6-7 TPT

”Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there. [Rom. 11:33.] If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me, Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Yahweh’s Choice

You can move the heart of a room without moving the heart of The One True King. Saul was anointed as king, though was it because of the favor of God? No, in fact the Lord gave the people what they wanted; this is why we can easily misjudge the favor man for the favor of God.

Contrastingly, David won the heart of his King when no one knew his name. On distant roaming hills of humility David was faithful to shepherd and dream with God in obscurity. Was he any less favored, talented, qualified to be king because he was unknown by the people, or even liked for that matter? No, He was the one whom the Lord chose.

Your ability to work a room may win the hearts of men, but do you KNOW the heart of the King? The Lord chooses whom he crowns, and many we will see on that day in eternity who may be least in the eyes of men – forgotten ones even as David was forgotten in the line up for the choosing by his own father – however no less qualified when The Father sees and knows all. Thankfully Samuel was listening to the Voice of the Lord and did not follow what was right according to his own eyes.

You will find your God-ordained destiny and desires fulfilled in deep communion with the Lord. Your greatest advocate and mentor is Jesus Himself, and when you commit yourself to Him in “the wilderness” where He has taught you One-on-one to slay the lion and the bear, your confidence will not come from the favor and praises of men, it will be in the One who overcame in you. Imagine this, the Spirit of the Lord inside of David, they are one, and Jesus says, “hey son look what we can do, This is how you slay with one hand…”yes the same hand who first raised in worship was then taught to war. There are secrets in the days of battle ahead that only worshippers will carry. It will not be found on the lips of praises of men, for David was king long before Samuel came knocking on Jesse’s door. David was already king in the eyes of The King of Kings because they were one, and David first saught to know the Lord’s heart well in advance to becoming the peoples hero famous in battle.

Saul and David both were gifted, however eternity’s mark looks different underneath the surface. The Branch of the Lord grows through whom He has grafted, His root has always been Love. This is Yahweh’s choice, this is whom He breathes upon ~ those who seek to know His heart.

Think upon this, David knew the Lord by His heart, and the Lord knew David by his. This is true honor in Lordship and sonship. “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:5. ”After that, He gave them judges until the prophet Samuel. Then they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. And when He had deposed him, He raised up David to be their king; of him He bore witness and said, I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart, who will do all My will and carry out My program fully. [I Sam. 13:14; Ps. 89:20; Isa. 44:28.]“ ‭‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

For too long we have crowned kings inside and outside of the church because they have been loved by people, not because of their depth of love for God. Saul could not give up his grip on the crown, while David never asked for one.

”From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.”“ ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭TPT‬‬

O Lord, Come!

September is our ninth month in the Gregorian calendar and almost always represents birthing to me. What if what we are birthing this month is born through a different type of travail? Travails that are so painful as a result of hearts desperately sick with love. Do we agonize over the separations from our Bridegroom King? Would we endure beatings and bruises for Him? Do we truly long for more of Him in such a way that we would yield to this cost?

It was April 8, 2014 between 4:00 a.m. and 5 a.m. when I heard the Lord speak to me these words, “The burden of the Lord is this: that My people would know Me not only in the fellowship of My suffering, but also in the beauty of My holiness. A new wind is coming, one that you have not felt before, it comes from the mouth of God and is the Breath and Life of Heaven. It is a wind of yearning, to carry you up and close to Myself.” After hearing the Lord’s Voice, I went into a vision of ascension.

On the Hebrew calendar we are in the decade of Pey representing the mouth. Recently the Lord brought this encounter to my remembrance and I believe for “such a time as this”. Yes we are the Lord’s mouthpieces, but I believe there is a drawing into the Beauty of Holiness through His breath. The breath of Heaven is our Bridegroom’s kiss; He longs for us, to revive us with His holy kiss and as we breathe in Ruach “on fire”to experience true beauty – we are made alive and revived in the Beauty of His holiness that carries us up and closer, drawing us into union with Him. This is the passion of Christ. He longs and yearns for us, do we long for Him?

I propose we are entering a complete new season of intimacy with God that the world has not seen. We will be marked by the purest Love that we have ever known, where transformed hearts consumed with their Bridegroom King yearn for His nearness, and with the most sincere and devout adoration, count nothing as loss for Him. The birthing and travails that are coming upon us will lend a new and deeper revelation of the Spirit and the Bride. They will work together as One; they see the Lamb’s split side, and in union join together to quickly restore the Bride as they cry “Maranatha Come!”

“Oh Lord, Come!”

”The watchmen who go about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took my veil and my mantle from me. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am sick from love [simply sick to be with him]. [Ps. 63:1.]“ ‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”As I walked throughout the city in search of him, the overseers stopped me as they made their rounds. They beat me and bruised me until I could take no more. They wounded me deeply and removed my covering from me. Nevertheless, make me this promise, you brides-to-be: if you find my beloved one, please tell him I endured all travails for him. I’ve been pierced through by love, and I will not be turned aside!“ Song of Songs‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭TPT‬‬

”“Come,” says the Holy Spirit and the Bride in divine duet. Let everyone who hears this duet join them in saying, “Come.” Let everyone gripped with spiritual thirst say, “Come.” And let everyone who craves the gift of living water come and drink it freely. “Come.”“ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬

KEEPING YOUR FIELD

It is wisdom to consider and ask oursleves, “Is all that we are tirelessly working for and putting our efforts into going to have any eternal value?”Does what takes your time, thoughts and attention have eternal value? Are you investing into eternity? ”Heaven and earth [as now known] will pass away, but My words will not pass away.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭35‬ ‭AMP‬‬.

We must live by the Word and for the Word; for the Word is living and active, the Word will not ever return void, and the Word is the One who Was and Is and Is to come – He Who forever Will be. ”I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭138‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And we know this Word is a Man, the One we call Jesus. ”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Word is Jesus, in Him is the Life, and His Life is our light. If we are not living according His words, His plans, His desires (which practically are love Him, love your family, love others – and under this umbrella He came for the Church / His Bride and to seek and save the lost) then we are not fully walking in the light and to different degrees living in darkness.

Our life as an offering to the Lord on earth is brief and fleeting, ”So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.“ ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Are your investments on earth making eternal deposits? ”Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

We must live our lives with purpose and intentionality. Eternity is near. For some it could be today… others tomorrow and for some yet when our Beloved Bridegroom returns and draws us near.

Be mindful of your investments, you are the keeper of your own field.

DRINK

The Presence of God is a non-negotiable. He must be ‘our must’ in this hour. We follow the cloud, we follow the pillar, we follow the Lamb, we follow the Cross. We follow Yahweh; I AM. Jesus is The Way The Truth The Life. He IS.

All else is secondary at best and reveals a breech in our lordship when He is not before all else, for whatever is before Christ is idolatry. For who can supercede his Creator? What created thing has precedence over their Maker?

It is imperative that the saints pay attention to His slightest leading right now, He is testing the hearts of men. This is the time to be sensitive, to incline your ear to His Voice, to obey the whisper, to smell His fragrance, to perceive the cloud in the sky, to let your heart burn unashamedly, to see His glory in creation, to see Him. For all things were created by Him; therefore nothing is BEFORE Him.

It is time to pledge our allegiance to the Lamb again. We must not veer.

Commit and submit yourself afresh to Him today. Jesus is your covering (protection and provision), He is the Savior, is He your Savior? We NEED Him. He is our alignment, He is our Head, our Light, our Life.

Do not forsake Him, do not hurt His heart; this life on earth is temporary and He is eternal. Friends, everything else will fade away… every person and created thing! I am lovingly warning you, and imploring you to use wisdom and drink from the Living Water once again.

We are all liars if we cannot admit that we have had other loves before Christ at one time or another. This is spiritual adultery for which we have to repent. Like the account of the Samaritian woman, we all have been “unclean”. Jesus’ remedy to her thirst was Himself. Drink deeply, be cleansed, and change your ways. Go, and sin no more.

”Then a woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink”— For His disciples had gone off into the city to buy food— The Samaritan woman asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew [about] God’s gift [of eternal life], and who it is who says, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him [instead], and He would have given you living water (eternal life).” She said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with [no bucket and rope] and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and who used to drink from it himself, and his sons and his cattle also?” Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not get thirsty nor [have to continually] come all the way here to draw.” At this, Jesus said, “Go, call your husband and come back.” The woman answered, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I do not have a husband’; for you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. You have said this truthfully.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one ought to worship is in Jerusalem [at the temple].” Jesus replied, “Woman, believe Me, a time is coming [when God’s kingdom comes] when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You [Samaritans] do not know what you worship; we [Jews] do know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews. But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ—the Anointed); when that One comes, He will tell us everything [we need to know].” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you, am He (the Messiah).”“ John‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭26‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The High Places

Without going to the details of my dream this morning, part of the message is this: The Lord is dealing with the ‘high places’ of the West. And it will happen sooner than expected. To the Bride / Church of the West, remove all that is tarnished, all that does not reflect the Light and Personhood of Christ. Prepare, prepare quickly!

However there is a laurel, a victors crown for those who ascend the Mountain of the Lord with clean hands and a pure heart, while yet He is tearing down the ascents of impurity, falsehood, and idolatry.

There is a changing of the guard, and it will be quick. Like a shift change while on the clock of employment, suddenly one will be gone and the next will be there. This is hour to Ascend to the Mountain of our God. Give Him worship and give Him praise (without mixture)!

”As soon as He was approaching [Jerusalem], near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the entire multitude of the disciples [all those who were or claimed to be His followers] began praising God [adoring Him enthusiastically and] joyfully with loud voices for all the miracles and works of power that they had seen, shouting, “Blessed (celebrated, praised) is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory (majesty, splendor) in the highest [heaven]!” Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples [for shouting these Messianic praises].” Jesus replied, “I tell you, if these [people] keep silent, the stones will cry out [in praise]!” As He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it [and the spiritual ignorance of its people], saying, “If [only] you had known on this day [of salvation], even you, the things which make for peace [and on which peace depends]! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For a time [of siege] is coming when your enemies will put up a barricade [with pointed stakes] against you, and surround you [with armies] and hem you in on every side, and they will level you to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you. They will not leave in you one stone on another, all because you did not [come progressively to] recognize [from observation and personal experience] the time of your visitation [when God was gracious toward you and offered you salvation].” Jesus went into the temple [enclosure] and began driving out those who were selling, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a robbers’ den.”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭37‬-‭46‬ ‭AMP‬‬

”The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it, The world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the streams and the rivers. Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in. Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.“

RAISED TO LIFE IN YOU

What you thought was the end of you is the container of life for Him.
Can you imagine it being said, “the hope of Glory lives in them”?

It is true, the very Bread of Presence we have received,
we die but not to grieve
Life eternal found and forever I shall be bound to my Savior,
and my Love
I will be emptied as You laid Yourself down for me,
that I may hear You call my name,
Oh my dove
You place your left hand under my head, and raise me to life with You
In the Spirit we are One,
In the Spirit is found all liberty
In the Spirit I live my truest life in Thee

This Life in me, it is Christ, do you see?

”To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.“ Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”His left hand cradles my head while his right hand holds me close. I am at rest in this love.“ ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬ ‭TPT‬‬

”[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.“ ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

The Door And The Key

The point of the new covenant is unbroken fellowship.

The disillusion of the Church at large is that she believes in Jesus, therefore she must know Him. How sad it is when we think we are in connection with others only to realize we only know of them, or we know them in part; 20%, 50%, 75%, etc. Jesus gave His all that we may know Him as ALL IN ALL.
”You can believe all you want that there is one true God, that’s wonderful! But even the demons know this and tremble with fear before him, yet they’re unchanged—they remain demons.“
‭‭James 2‬:‭19‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“Belief” in and of itself does not constitute change. The very key needed here is repentance. When Jesus came out of the desert His first message was repentance. Why? Because only in our repentance are we able to RECEIVE Him.
”From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”“ Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Repentance is, “I change myself (turn, and yield to the work Holy Spirit, He cleanses and washes you) so I can receive of Your perfect nature and character to be restored to union; unbroken fellowship.”

I don’t know about you but almost every time I read the account of the fall in Genesis I cry. The thought of being separated from the presence of God and shunned from my home with Him would be terrifying. I feel the emotions when I read that account of scripture.

How do you think the Holy Spirit (the person of the Godhead sent to help us know Jesus and His ways) feels knowing that day in and out the price was paid for Salvation – Jesus the Savior died and rose again releasing us from the deed of death – and yet we refuse to acknowledge or live like the debt was paid. Selfishly we remain unchanged.

Why are children favored and blessed in the Kingdom of Heaven? Why does the Lord say we must have the faith of a child? Because children receive well. Children are dependent and needy, AND children change ever so quickly.
”But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name–[Isa. 56:5.]“ ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

There is an account of 10 Virgins in Matthew 25. Five of the ten were considered to be foolish and unwise because they did not take extra oil for their lamps when they went to meet the Bridegroom. It was in the waiting and in the delay of His return that their greatest mistake occurred. They assumed the oil they had would be enough, and they assumed their unpreparedness would be forgiven, and yet the door was shut to the unwise. The Church at large believes the way they know the Lord is enough. However many if not most, are living off old traditions, encounters, and eating stale bread. I write this because Scripture tells us that the Lord will come for a Bride who was prepared, made herself ready and also refers to her as a remnant. (Remnant; that which is left after the separation, removal or destruction of a part.) If we consistently partake of the daily Bread before us, there is always enough and we even accrue access oil. Jesus is the Bread of Life, therefore the more time we spend dining with Him, the more oil we receive. A great deception amongst many “believers” is that if they have enough faith they will not suffer. But it is in the very place of dining, eating on the Bread of Presence that we become like Jesus only through the fellowship of His suffering. To those who refuse the cup of suffering you deny the fellowship of the cross, and the door will be denied to you.

”But the foolish virgins said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the wise replied, ‘No, otherwise there will not be enough for us and for you, too; go instead to the dealers and buy oil for yourselves.’ But while they were going away to buy oil, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut and locked. Later the others also came, and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open [the door] for us.’ But He replied, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I do not know you [we have no relationship].’ Therefore, be on the alert [be prepared and ready], for you do not know the day nor the hour [when the Son of Man will come].“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Some of you have become so tired in the waiting you stopped coming to the table. Repent. Become like a child again and be fed from the table of Life.

Jesus is the Door, and on this side of Heaven repentance is the key that opens access to the Kingdom.

Jesus we need you, and how I long to KNOW you!

I believe what I scribed 8.5.21 on The Value Of Oil is a remaining relevant word for this hour. Read below.
https://ablazeglobalproductions.com/2021/08/05/the-value-of-oil/

THE VALUE OF OIL

The Lord impressed upon my heart to share the tremendous value of oil and trial. He said many in the global Church may not see or understand the value of it yet, though soon will be very thankful for this opportunity and season of reconsecration. In the Spirit I felt a weight on the word value. This season has been misunderstood by many as one of unnecessary trial, though it has actually been one of great value and Mercy. As I was writing this out with the Lord, I heard in the Spirit the word, “apprehend”. Apprehend is defined in the Oxford dictionary as 1) arrest (someone) for a crime 2) understand and perceive, anticipate. The origin is late Middle English, originally in the sense ‘grasp hold of (physically or mentally)’. I believe the Lord is saying He desires to arrest incorrect thinking with an invitation to grasp hold of His mind on the matter.

The Church has been in a prefix storyline of the Matthew 25 parable, The Ten Virgins. Those who were unwise are being made wise. Eyes that could not once see, have vision. What was once dark is now illuminated. Many have not understood the trial and pressing, though the hand of the Lord has allowed it as He knew the Church positionally did not have enough oil. In His mercy He has allowed the pressing because the olive fruit must be crushed and pressed to obtain the oil. We need the extra oil for the journey as it is in the darkest time of night, at midnight, before the Bridegroom appears and this extra oil is essential to see as He leads us to the door of the wedding feast. In this parable the wise virgins trimmed their wicks and had extra oil (in flasks or vessels). Symbolically the Lord has been cutting away from our wicks, removing that which would hinder us from shining brightly that we may know, hear and see Him rightly in this dark hour. Through the crushing we have paid the price and bought oil, and will be prepared to make the journey in the dark night.

There is a global call in the Spirit to awake and meet the Bridegroom, “Now while the bridegroom was delayed, they all began to nod off, and they fell asleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! The bridegroom [is coming]! Go out to meet him.’” Matthew 25:5-6 AMP. The Greek noun for meet here means to ‘have a meeting with’ or ‘encounter’. The golden lampstand was in the Tent of Meeting, in the Holy Place – the entrance way to the Holy of Holies or place of encounter and gave light to the entire tent. We are New Testament priests through Christ the Messiah our High Priest and in the order Melchizedek. In the Old Testament it was Aaron who was a representation of the consecrated Levitical priestly line who was instructed to keep the lamps burning CONTINUALLY, and so shall it be unto us as we now have the honor to carry out this priestly order. The Lord once again is removing veils that separate us from encountering Him in the Most Holy Place. “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the children of Israel to bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light [of the golden lampstand], to make a lamp burn continually. Outside the veil of the Testimony [between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place] in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall always keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening until morning; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations. He shall keep the lamps burning on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.” Leviticus 24:1-4 AMP.

The vessels containing extra oil in Matthew 25 are described in the Greek as having a bend, meaning a container that can be filled. Where is the infilling of oil? The Holy Spirit supernaturally fills and refills these vessels with oil. Money cannot purchase this oil, for it is bought with the reward of pressing and suffering, the reward of abiding and intimacy with the Son, the reward of dying to self; all rewards of spiritual wealth are contained here for the price for buying oil is costly as it is the first fruit offerings from your very life.

In His goodness, the Lord has ‘bought us’ time with Him in this last season; the olive is a fruit and to bear fruit we must abide and remain in Him. ““ I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit]. You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you]. Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.” John 15:1-5 AMP. Abiding and remaining in Him is a personal choice. Consecration is a choice. Bearing fruit is for all, though some have good fruit while others have bad fruit.

Your daily decisions have never mattered more, as the weight of eternity hinges on them. It is a narrow road to the door, and few find it…

There is still time. Do not despise this pruning but yield to the Spirit as the Lord desires to prepare you for your most glorious and shining hour!

Upon His Shoulder

We give Jesus the cold shoulder when we do not trust Him.

He is alive
He is a person
He should be your husband

”For your husband is your Maker, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of the whole earth. For the Lord has called you, LIKE A WIFE who has been abandoned, grieved in spirit, And like a wife [married] in her youth when she is [later] rejected and scorned,” Says your God.“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The above chapter is named, “The fertility of Zion”. And coincides with 1 Peter 2; the Lord led me to these passages today by word of knowledge, I didn’t realize at first He was piecing them together.

”like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may be nurtured and grow in respect to salvation [its ultimate fulfillment],“ ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Grow in respect to salvation … salvation is not a thing, salvation is a person. Jesus is the Word, we are nurtured by Him, and grow into respect in ultimately fulfilling the calling to be His wife.

”Come to Him [the risen Lord] as to a living Stone which men rejected and threw away, but which is choice and precious in the sight of God. You [believers], like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. For this is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, a precious (honored) Cornerstone, And he who believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will never be disappointed [in his expectations].”“ 1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Another depiction of the mature Bride; she was once barren though now redeemed consistently yields fruit, never disappointed because of her respect and trust in the Lord her Salvation.

One of the names of Zion is, “my delight is in her”. Our covenant with the Lord is meant to be a delightful union. ”But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels [in festive gathering],“ ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭22‬ ‭AMP‬‬
The city of the LIVING GOD …

The new priesthood is coming forth, living stones who form a pure bride who rests her head on His shoulder (revering Him for the weight of sin paid), she now governs together with her High Priest/ Bridegroom King.

Lord let it be said of me Your delight is in me. Lord may we say of You, our delight is in You. For surely it is true, all our fountains are in You. ”The singers as well as the players on instruments shall say, All my springs (my sources of life and joy) are in you [city of our God].“ Psalm‬ ‭87‬:‭7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”Who is this one? She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tree, as you were feasting upon me, I awakened your innermost being with the travail of birth as you longed for more of me.“
‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭8‬:‭5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Honoring The Lord

The Church at large must cultivate an atmosphere for the Fear of the Lord, or else it will cultivate and cut us. This means we must confront compromise, even in our behavior in His House. We act like He is not the One in Authority. If we will give Him His place He will take it; it is better to offer to Him than it be taken from us.

Stewarding His Presence means we teach people by even the most basic shepherding how to honor the Lord in His House. Our behavior matters, our conversations matter. This is not control, it is wisdom at its infancy stage. Sometimes we forget that sheep need to be led, by even the most simple gestures. (We all do, sometimes I forget). The more we talk about setting an atmosphere for an abiding Presence void of chaos, carnal chatter, with healthy guidelines, the more we will practice honoring His Presence and will naturally receive much more from our encounters with the Lord, or even from our Church attendance – for when we encounter Jesus we encounter the riches in His glory, for He is the very place of abundance.

When we revere the Lord as Holy, we will receive much more because that is Who He is.

Right now the sword of the Lord is cutting to conform us to the image of Himself or cutting to cast away. To this I plead, “take not thy Holy Spirit from me!”

”The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom; A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord; His praise endures forever.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭111‬:‭10‬ ‭AMP‬‬

”The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline. [Ps. 111:10.]“ ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”But the Lord of hosts is exalted in justice, and God, the Holy One, shows Himself holy in righteousness and through righteous judgments.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy. [Lev. 11:44, 45.]“ #‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
