What God is doing in the Earth Today!

How would prepare you for a drought of the Holy Spirit? What would it take to be able to sustain your life when; “The mystery of iniquity (that) does already work: only He who now lets will let, until He (Holy Spirit) be taken out of the way”? If we are called to walk in our own “Righteousness” as Job, Noah and Daniel, how could we? The lawful Christian cannot imagine or understand “our own righteousness”. It takes faith, truth and understanding to allow yourself to enter in. The light of their understanding is diminished because they think it robbery to consider themselves “worthy”. Some of them, the unworthy, are stuck in, “I’m just a sinner saved by grace”. They disqualify themselves from being sons and daughters for pride in their own humble attitudes, never becoming bold toward God.

If you believe that the Lord is preparing a “People” for 7 years of drought how would He accomplish the task? He would make them strong enough to stand alone and be self sufficient. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Faith and an ear to hear are necessary to do the will of God. Some think they know and are as the “foolish virgins” of Matthew 25 not actually having the truth, the lamp oil of the Holy Spirit. The point being; God wants us to be the well, never thirsting. Able to hear, receive and flow in the time of drought.

God does everything decently and in order. Of a truth; “The Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets”, “Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God”. Thereby we, as the apostles can partake, “I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”. And again, “When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come”. In preparing for the tribulation, (Prepare you the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.) it is we who must conform to Gods’ will.

Sunday the Lord gave me a new understanding about what He is doing with His sons and daughters. We are currently being tried in our ability to be refreshed from within. Not that God is silent. Oh no, it is that He wants the weak to become strong and confident, so that they will stand in the times to come (As the wise virgins of Matthew 25). Being a hearer is one thing, being a doer requires we apply faith and action. It’s relatively easy for the strong to lead or give words, not that it’s wrong, but that is not all that God wants. The purpose of the strong is to bring the weak to their level. As the Lord said; “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant”. God wants the weak to be free to be bold and confident before Him. God did not give apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors to lord over His inheritance, God forbid. They were only for the perfecting of the saints, many abuses have occurred. Hence, the time we are in. The Lord is Shepherding His flock. If you are not seeing it, I doubt that the Spirit of the Lord has liberty where you are at.

The world is about to enter into the time of God’s wrath, beginning with judgment in the house of the Lord. Many of the highly thought of “Christians”, will be brought low, or compromised completely to serve the Antichrist. The falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 “except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed”, is happening, and in greater measure in the near future. Do not be surprised or upset, it must happen. Even now, do not run after signs as it says in Matthew 24:23 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect”. Seek the Kingdom of God with your whole heart, holding nothing back, so that signs and wonders will follow after you. During the first 31/2 years of tribulation many false signs and wonders will occur, many will fall. 2 Peter 1:10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.

Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.

John 4:14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Isaiah 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: 11And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Drought in the world for the "Word of God".

Deuteronomy 6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which you built not, 11And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full; 12Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Jeremiah 2:5 Thus says the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 6Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? 7And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.

Jeremiah 50:37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. 38A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. 39Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

Haggai 1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.

Hosea 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me. 5I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 6According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

Be filled with the Holy Spirit, He is your only chance, your only option. Choose life in the Spirit. Give ear to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Do not be wise in your own conceit, but humble yourself before the living God.
