What God Is Doing
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
For many weeks and days now, even as I watch and pray and read the many
words that has been coming forth. My heart desires to understand better in
concrete ways the things that the Father is working at this season. For the
past few weeks since the start of this year, our family (both natural and
spiritual) seem to be facing renewed attack in all areas (physical,
financial, emotional and even spiritual) and at times, I will began to
wonder about "what" is taking place and "why". I never doubted that OUR GOD
IS IN FULL CONTROL, but being able to see clearly will surely enable me
just like Joshua when he and the whole company of people was about to cross
over the promised land to be able to "BE STRONG,(CONFIDENT), VIGOROUS AND
OF GOOD COURAGE (VERY COURAGEOUS). BE NOT AFRAID, NEITHER BE DISMAYED.."
(Joshua 1:6-9)
I received a lot of pictures and impressions. And as I was seeking the
Father if today is the right time to share these with others, I got that
release in my heart.
As always, may I request each reader of this post to pray about the matters
that I will share and TOGETHER LET US TEST AND DISCERN THEM AND ENCOURAGE
EACH OTHER AS THE LORD GAVE US THE CONFIRMATIONS.
GOD IS RESTORING THE ABRAHAMIC ANOINTING:
For many days, I keep on seeing the faces of men, (fathers, heads of
families and even single men but are the breadwinners in their family) and
as I saw these faces. I will see them being line up in a row and the burden
was to pray for a release of the anointing of Abraham. When I asked the
Father what this meant in the practical sense, the impression was that in
the coming days...the Lord will began and has already began to do GREAT
WORKS IN THEIR HEARTS. Many men who are not walking in obedience to God, He
will surpernaturally convict and will call them back to Him. This will
include salvation to the unsave, commitment to those who are wavering,
conviction to those who are not walking right. For the father is calling
them TO RISE UP AND TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AS PATRIARCH OR HEAD OF FAMILY.
Along the process, I saw various scenes like men were in agony like they
were at the end of the road. I saw some of them angry, distress because of
financial setback, financial losses, physical pains, accidents and other
events that they are facing that are grave. And initially I panic...but the
peace of God was there as the Father began to explained to me. " When you
see all these things happening to them. Do not panic but REJOICE for as
they come to an end of themselves. There, many of them will turn to me and
will find me." At that, my heart was comforted. The Father futher added
these words," I donot delight in seeing my people in pain but my time is
short and I am in a hurry to bring them back to myself for the work is
great and I need them and I will use whatever tools is necessary to draw
them to me quickly so that I can reveal my power to them and usher them
into my presence"
GOD CHOOSING THE WEAK, THE LOWLY, THE INSIGNIFICANT, THE FOOLISH:
The Lord brought to my remembrance family friends that I know who has
children whom we would not considered perfect and normal by world
standards as they have physical abnormalities. While praying for them, I
was sensing in my heart their concern and anxiety about the future of these
children as I can hear words being spoken like:
"Father, what will happened to them when we are no longer around to care
for them?"
And as I was crying and feeling their pains in my heart, the Lord reminded
me about the baby Moses and the circumstances her mother has to face when
she has to put him in that basket and let go of him and release him to the
river. Then, after that the Father reminded me about Joseph who at 17 years
old was separated from Jacob and have to be on his own without the father's
guidance....I was trying to recapture the feelings that was going on in
Moses' mother and Jacob heart because of these circumstances as what they
must have felt is no different than the cry of other parents who have
handicapped children.
But then, the Father brought me to the end of Moses and Joseph story and He
showed me what they have become. And my eyes lighten up for I saw that
despite everything...GOD TOOK GOOD CARE OF THEM BETTER THAN WE CAN EVEN
PERCEIVE OR IMAGINE.
Then, the Lord gave me these words to share to the parents that I know in
our church who are in that situation and I believe these words are not only
for them BUT FOR ALL OF US PARENTS WHO AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER WORRY ABOUT
OUR CHILDREN SPECIALLY THOSE THAT WE PERCEIVE TO BE WEAKER THAN MOST AND
THUS MAY HAVE LESSER CHANGE OF SUCCEEDING IN THIS WORLD.
"My people, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and mind cannot
comprehend the things that I have planned for your children...do not look
at their weakness and insufficiency for I AM THE ONE WHO CREATED THEM AND I
HAVE ENDOWED THEM WITH QUALITIES THAT EYES CANNOT SEE. I know your anxiety,
I understand your feelings for I TOO AM A FATHER AND I HAVE TO LET GO OF
JESUS MY ONLY SON AND I HAVE TO WATCH HIM SUFFER TOO.
"I call you this day to look beyond the physical for my power and my glory
can be seen in the weakest of vessel. Consider my servants of old, in whom
did my greater glory shines forth? Was it in the strong? No...Saul was
handsome and perfect but he failed me. Samsom was strong but he failed me
too. But look at David, Paul, Gideon, all of Jesus disciples...these are
people whom the world would considered as losers but THEY ARE WINNERS IN ME
FOR MY STRENGHT IS MAKE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.
"Let your heart be at peace about your special children for I am watching
over them and they have a very special place in my heart. For out of their
simplicity my love will be seen. Our of their weakness, my strenght will be
made more manifest. If I took care of the birds of the sky and the flowers
of the field, will I not take care of these precious one who are made in my
image???
"Today, I say to you who are there...come and lay each one of them before
my altar...give your burden to me for I will carry them with you, you
don't have to carry it alone...I know this will take times but I am patient
and I will wait for you, but as times of difficulty will began to swirl
around you... just began to do that as the season will call forth for
it...and you will see, there will be a great exchange...your tears for my
joy, your anxiety for my peace, your fear for my assurance, YOUR SHAME FOR
MY GLORY and once more your mind will be lighten, your eyes will brighten
and your mouth will began to declare praise to me in new and powerful ways."
"These are my very special ones and I am watching over them for good and
with favor!"
GOD IS RESTORING THE FOUNDATION:
The bible taught us that the two most important commandment in the Bible
is "Loving the Lord with all our heart and with all our mind and with all
our strenght." And the second commandment is "Loving our neighbor as
ourselves."
The enemy has been trying to destroy these two area by forcing us to focus
on the negative and destructive side of events and the weak side of people,
but God is challenging us today to REMEMBER THAT OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT
AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD. God is not against us, people are not our
enemy...but we can use every circumstances we are in now to DESTROY THE
WORK OF THE ENEMY FOR WE ARE IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.
By yielding ourselves fully to the Father and acknowledging that we cannot
do anything without his help and continuing to trust in the goodness of
God. We will triumph.
"FATHER, TODAY WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE MIGHTY. YOU ARE
REIGNING AND YOU ARE IN CONTROL.
"HELP US TO KEEP OUR FOCUS UPON YOU AND NOT ON CIRCUMSTANCES AND PEOPLE.
TEACH US HOW TO LOVE IN THE MIDST OF HATRED. TEACH US HOW TO FORGIVE IN THE
MIDST OF PAIN AND SUFFERING. TEACH US HOW TO BE GENTLE IN THE MIDST OF
CALLOUSNESS AND AGGRESSION. TEACH US HOW TO BE HUMBLE IN THE MIDST OF
SUCCESS . TEACH US HOW TO STAND AND RISE UP AGAIN IN THE MIDST OF OUR
FAILURE.
"HOLY SPIRIT, RELEASE TO US A GREATER ANOINTING OF THE FATHER'S MIND, THE
FATHER'S HEART, THE FATHER'S EYES SO THAT IN ALL THINGS AND AT ALL TIMES WE
WILL BE SEEING ALL FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE.
"GIVE US THE GRACE TO LIVE THIS DAY WELL, HELP US NOT TO DWELL ON THE
MISTAKES AND FAILURES OF YESTERDAY AND TO BE ANXIOUS FOR TOMORROW KNOWING
THAT EACH DAY'S PROVISION WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR THIS DAY AND TOMORROW YOU
WILL STILL BE THERE WITH US. AMEN!!!"
Brothers and sisters in Christ, I pray that the Holy Spirit will quicken
your hearts as you read them. And today, may we see all things in a
brighter perspective.
"THE LORD IS GOOD AND HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER"
Shalom and blessings to one and all!
