Be Strengthened

This is what the Lord has been speaking to me the past week or so. I don't get a chance to get online too much so I put everything on one post.

The Lord spoke this word to me on Wensday May 21st: Let the weak say I am strong. Let the weary come and find rest. Let the thirsty drink of my waters that never fail. Let those who hunger for righteousness be satisfied that I am God. Come. Draw near unto me you who hear truth and who hide it in your hearts.. The light within cannot be hidden and as it is written, you shall shine more and more unto the perfect day. I am faithful. Do not be weary my son, but rejoice that I try you. Purged 7 times, over and over, I remove, I purify, I make you whole. Walk with me in white. Let those who know me acknowledge my words. You shall know them for they shall know me, and they shall receive you. Those who deny me also shall deny you, strong delusion is their portion. Many days have my people forgotten me. Without power , without faith, without love. A shell of beauty, yet pitiful, there is no life inside them. Upon the highways, out into the bi-ways. Let them come unto me, for those that were bidden were not worthy. I shall destroy all those who make a lie, wipe away all those who pervert truth. My name shall be exalted and I will glorify you my people. Stand strong, stand firm, my judgment shall return and it shall be unto your righteousness. Not many might, not many strong, but the lowly and the meek. You have called, I have answered. I did call, Here am I have you spoken. Do not turn back but I say be strengthened. Today is the day of salvation, now is still the accepted time. Come.

The Lord spoke this word to me on Tuesday May 20th: My strength. What can you compare it to? Who will come this day to find rest? The battle of the flesh. Do not faint but I say endure. Chastening, do not resist but be renewed. Cast away your doubt, be strong in me. Your choice. Who will win? I am strong, I do not faint. I do not grow weary, I do not turn. Have faith my people and let my joy be your strength. Trial after trial, endure even as I endured, obedient unto death. I make all things beautiful in my time in their season. I perfect, I make whole. I root out the old, I restore that which was broken. I fill, I fill you to overflowing. Flowing over, running over, my Spirit pours upon you my faithful. Remember my words and find your rest.

After the Lord spoke to me he reminded me of a vision I had about a mountain being removed from before me (us). He gave me the understanding that there is nothing in our way, for the mountains he has removed from before us ( The vision was actually for a brother, but for all, and he spoke to the mountain and it was removed to the sea).

PS 94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
PS 94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
PS 94:14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
PS 94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

This is a word the Lord spoke to me on Sunday May 18th: The victory I have attained. What is the end of your faith? Salvation, redemption, a life with me apart from the flesh. Who desires this? I am your reward, I am your end. The cares of this life cloud, they confuse. You who love me cannot partake of them. Stand firm, be strong, not in you own strength, but in me and the power of my might. I was obedient unto death, I was tempted in all points knowing that which I was called to do. I overcame. I have the victory. My sons, my daughters, know and have faith. I know your trials and I know your temptations. Beautiful have I made the way, free from fear, free from death, free from bondage. Walk in my liberty. Freedom to them that are bound, strength to the weary, rest to them that have endured. Come, rest in me. Ask of me and I will show you. Seek me and you shall find me. All that I have is yours. Line upon line, precept upon precept. I am your builder and I do build you up. What can that which is made say to him who made it, what do you make me? Trust that I have made you vessels unto honor and not to dishonour. Trust in me, be founded in faith, rooted in love. Overcome by the word of your testimony and by my blood. I do not leave you powerless. Come, do not hold back.

The Lord also showed me a vision of a man dressed in a suit, carrying a briefcase. He would walk a short distance and then the briefcase would break open and he would have to stop to pick up everything, close the case, and continue walking. This happened three or four times and as I watched in the vision I saw the Lord standing next to me and he said "This is you when you continue in the flesh." The Lord gave me the simple understanding about walking in the Spirit, to do it we can not walk in this flesh. The briefcase represented the cares of this life, the opening of the case represents just what will happen to the things of this world. You can try to walk the path carrying them but you will always be hindered and you will never walk in the fullness God would have you to. The suit the man wore also represented his lawfulness ( I understood that the man wasn't supposed to even be wearing it, but rather something much more comfortable and fit for his walk. In Gods liberty rather than mans expectation/bondage). God is calling us higher and we must be separate from the cares of this life, the desires of the flesh. Also while in prayer Sunday, the Lord did one of those "Follow me" moments( It was a vision but more just as though I understood what was happening). When he did, I found myself at the top of a mountain looking down at the pools of water below (see www.handofhelp.com visions "Anchor in the Storm". To make a long story short....) and I saw darkness start to cover them, starting from the bottom rising to the top. As this happened I saw a light start shining from within me and I looked back and I saw the Lord shining brightly (all this was happening by the spring at the top of the mountain). Then he said "It has begun." and then he said strongly "Shine". Immediately after that I saw the path with trees around it ( brother Dave's vision "Finding the Highway of Holiness, A Dream") and I saw everything shake violently and it seemed as though the trees and everything but the path was torn away. The Lord again was standing next to me looking at the path and he said (these aren't the exact words) "Only those on the path shall stand, all else shall fall away".

This is a word the Lord spoke to me Saturday, May 17th: Who will stand in my day? The meek and the lowly, those of a pure heart and clean hands. Those justified by my blood, clothed in my righteousness, those who had faith, believing all my word and promises. Men think my way is hard, they do not know my yoke is easy and my burden light. The way, I have raised it up. The path have I prepared. Let them come to mind them that have endured (read Hebrews 11) and by faith received the promise. I am your way, your exceedingly great reward. What greater do you have, what more can you want. Stand firm upon my promises, be moved by the wind of my Spirit, hear within my still small voice. My peace have I given you, that which the world cannot know. Walk by faith, not by your sight.

This is a word the Lord spoke to me on Thursday, May 15th: Line upon line, the building of the Lord. My planting, my chosen, them whom I have glorified. Chosen from the beginning for such a time as this. Signs and wonders follow you who believe. Look unto me you who love truth, you shall reap if you do not faint. From the beginning I have declared it, making known unto you my ways and my truths. They think they know me, but I say wisdom is proven of her children. Judgment has begun in my house. I cast out the unprofitable servant. I will send my judgment upon those who prophesy lies in my name and the curse shall follow them. Who will mock my Spirit? Judgment like rain. As the former and as the latter. My works stand and I will glorify myself in you my people. Look to me and do not let your heart be swayed.

During prayer I also heard the Lord keep saying "Our Love". After awhile when I heard the Lord say it again I asked "What of it?" and the Lord started to speak about the love that we had and he spoke this word for everyone: My love toward you is great. No greater love has any man then when he lays down his life for a friend. You have laid down your lives to live in me, put away this life, to gain it eternal. I am your reward my people. I am your end. See the end of your faith. From the beginning have I known you, called you to be my own. Sons and daughters.. Reject the world, and they did reject you, but great I say is your reward in heaven. What can compare to our love? Our love is deeper than the ocean, wider than the farthest sea. The heavens do not compare to it, the earth in her glory does not come close.. Redeemed, clothed in my righteousness, arrayed in my peace.

The Lord also reminded me of a vision about a red bridge someone had a long time ago and understood/heard San Fransisco. The Lord Said " All that I have said will come to pass". The vision before was about destruction via earthquake to that area. During prayer the Lord also gave me the understanding that many storms would be coming to the "Bible Belt" area. And as the Lord said " Like they have not seen before".
