My Desire is That the World See Me in You.

It is quite a blessing to discover that right from the womb God choose you and ordained you for a particular purpose. This was the case of Jeremiah. And I know he was taught by the Holy Ghost for he could discern the voice of God. But before he would be launched into the purpose of God for him, he received a charge;

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. Jeremiah 1:17

Gird up your loins was used in respect to the garments the Orientals used. The purpose was already declared and he was commanded to rise but before the rising, there is a charge to gird up the loins.

This statement designs courage and resolution of the mind in executing God’s will. This is an inner ascendency that precedes the physical rising. It is a divine momentum that comes through meditation on the word. The Lord gave the same charge to Joshua as he was about to execute God’s counsel;

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them…This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:6,8

As we meditate upon the word we are girding up our loins for the purpose of God upon us in this season. We are rising in the Spirit to fulfil God’s counsel in peace and at ease.

There is a blessing we receive every time we tune to the word. No matter how little the seed we sow each day, we are preparing ourselves for the great kingdom harvest.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. Matthew 13:31-32

In an with The LORD, I saw The LORD dressing up a Bride, But the reason he was doing it was for the bride to rest on the Sabbath. I wondered why.

Coming out the Holy ghost led me to:

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Isaiah 61:10-11

And again;

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 4:10-11

Then The LORD said, “I have adorned you with my righteousness and My salvation is covering you. I AM bestowing upon you in this moment the treasures hidden in darkness.

It is a preparation for the manifestation of my peace. My desire is that the world see Me in you.

My Kingly reign will be seen as you rise from my rest. The work is already finished, I AM dressing you up to rest in my accomplished work”

Your Insufficiency is The Resting Place of My Glory

In times of restoration God does wondrous works. When God is on a restoration move, shame is completely wiped out. Instead of shame we receive double blessings and even when we are confused, we receive the double portion.

For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. Isaiah 61:7

God has declared this year as a year of restoration to the Body of Christ and there is nothing the enemy can do about it. The confusion we are seeing right now is rather a promotion into the double blessing. Even though he intends shame, it is rather turning out that we are receiving the double.

If we look through God’s eyes, instead of the shame a lot of us have grown spiritually in this season. Family relationships are being restored because we are having more time to sit together and look at things through God’s word.

For the confusion in the world a lot of souls are turning to Christ over the internet and even in home meetings, because the world is realizing that Jesus is truly the way, the truth and the life.

In the day of restoration as this, even sin doesn’t count. When we turn to God even for the sins we have committed against him, we are rather promised the double blessing;

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; Zechariah 9:12

Keeping looking to Jesus, all things surrounding us are being turned to proclaim God’s goodness. Even in our weaknesses the power of God is resting heavily on us.

We may not know but we are growing higher in dependency on Jesus.

God is magnifying weak and little things. Instead of crying over weaknesses or insufficiencies look to Jesus and give God thanks for his glory is rather manifesting in that area of your life this day of restoration.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

In and encounter with The LORD, I saw someone who had difficulty in speaking but a time came when the LORD turned all that he did to glory. This person who could speak with difficulty would sing and made hit songs. The glory of God magnified every little thing he did.

Coming out the LORD led me to the story of the lepers;

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? ]If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it. 2 Kings 7:3-8

Then The LORD said, “ Your insufficiency is the resting place of my glory. Even your groaning is coming up to my throne and returning with blessings.

Your cry for help is thundering in the camp of the enemies.

My blood sanctifies your prayers and they roar as the lion. They are coals of fire in the camp of your enemies.
I am unto to you God. Your God Your glory now glorifying you. For your shame am bringing in the double. And for all the confusion you have received the double portion.

You will again boast in the wealth of the nations.

You will yet laugh, you will be happy, you will rejoice, for I have for ordained everlasting joy.’ “

Every day comes with its own troubles. Even if yesterday we were so filled with the Spirit happy and praising God if we are not filled today the troubles of the day may come against us as though they didn’t know we are carriers of God’s power.

We have a lot of promises from the word but I see something needful that seemingly looks simple but the most difficult to do in seeing the fulfilment of God’s Promises. STANDING.

A lot of places in scripture we see the word stand and see the deliverance of the Lord. We also see the case of Israel and the Egyptians as they were faced with the red sea before them and the Egyptian army behind them!

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:13-14

A lot of people blame the Israelites for complaining and murmuring, yes that is bad but there was a pressure. They could see their enemies right behind them and the red sea right in front of them But they could not see their God. Yet they were asked to Stand Still. All they had was one man saying to them STAND STILL and see the salvation of the LORD.

The enemy understands that one thing the heart hates is Standing Still even though it is the greatest weapon in our warfare.

We are in a situation where the fires are behind us and the overwhelming waters before us.

The truth is that if we want to look the way the Israelites looked we will murmur and complain and wish we had being left to slavery in Egypt.

But if we choose to Stand Still by looking at things from the heart through God’s word we will see the salvation of the Lord upon us.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

In a vision of two wrestlers. A huge strong man and another man. They had a coach over them. I saw them in a training session and as the coach left the two men to train while he went to fix something in the next room.

I saw the huge strong man turn the training into a real fight without hinting the other man and was knocking the head of the man on the floor, intending to knock him off before the coach would return.

Coming out I was led by the Spirit to;

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

Then The LORD said to me “Say to My Body, ‘The season of abundance is upon you but Stand and be alert, for the enemy intends to knock you off before your breakthrough arrives.

All the troubles you see today you will see no more as your heart is turned and fixed on me.

You are crossing over to the unprecedented manifestation of my glory. But hold on, what you see is a distraction.

My salvation is manifesting for you as your eyes are fixed upon me.’ “

A lot is happening, our souls are being humbled and the spiritual mind is coming alive. There is the spiritual man and there is the natural man. The spiritual man has conditioned himself to see things from the spiritual dimension and the natural man reads things from the natural dimension.

Meditation is the key to spiritual discernment. The Lord made spectacular promises to Abraham but a day came when he was to spiritually see the promises made to him before their fulfilment. Look at the statement made to Abraham;

I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession. Genesis 13:15 NLT

Seeing was very necessary for him in possessing the land even though it was already given to him. I don’t think there were mountains in the land of Israel that if you could stand on you would be able see the entire country, and I do not think Abraham traveled the entire country trying to see everywhere for there is no record of that.

But Abraham saw something. Instead of seeing a natural land, he left the natural man and spiritually discerned Him who was the embodiment of the fullness of God.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. John 8:56

Many people think Abraham was just going around waiting without having something tangible to hold unto. What gave Abraham the power to hold on for long and to continue giving glory was the person of Jesus. He saw him and was lit up. This was spiritual but a tangible experience.

When Abraham received this revelation he got something bigger than a piece of land.
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 4:13

He got the entire world together with Jesus. God wants to give us more than we think. As we are on lockdown and meditating on the word, God is giving us more than just things but Him in whom all things dwell.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32

Go deeper through meditation on the word and begin to see that all your desires are in Christ and even before the manifestation, you will be fully persuaded that He that promised is faithful, you will be glad, giving glory.

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw the Lord take off an old chapter of a book and I saw him replace it with a new chapter.

Coming out of the encounter, the Holy Spirit Led me to;

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

The word behold above also indicates that we see spiritually that now all things have become new.

Then the LORD said, “Say to My Sons, ‘I have totally erased your history, see that I AM now your life.

I AM your story. I AM your yesterday, today and forever. I Am your Righteousness. I AM your health. I am Your Provision. I Am your Victory.

Walk now in your new vision and experience the manifestation of my glory.’ “

There is a time and a season to every purpose. The purposes of God do not just come to pass but the do on his own timing. Just because it is God’s purpose doesn’t mean it does not have a time of manifestation.

You may have gifts on your inside, you may even be running on in God’s will, yet you will not see the manifestation of those gifts until the timing of God comes.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ecclesiastes 3:1

You may have signs of the anointing flowing all over your hands and fire burning all over your hands indicating you are called to the Healing Ministry but despite the anointing you may pray for a thousand people and never see anyone healed until God’s timing arrives.

This is because even though you are in the purpose of God there is a time and season for the manifestation of that purpose.

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Ecclesiastes 3:2

The same with prayers. You may read the scriptures and see that it is God’s will for you to be healed but you may still see your symptoms fighting heavily against you. It doesn’t mean God’s word has failed, it just means God’s word is true but not according to your own timing.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 Emphasis Added

2020 is a beautiful and glorious year but things are not going to happen according to our individual timing but the LORD’s.

Watch out for a personal revival before the global shift, for out of your belly shall flow streams of living water.

He has made everything beautiful in this year but it is in His time. This is done by the LORD to check the pride of man.

God could take the Israelites through an 11 days route but he decided on a forty year route to humble their hearts.

The purpose of God may be revealed to man but often the time and season is hidden in God’s secret counsel until the period of fulfilment.

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:7

Even though we may sometimes be unsure of the timing but we are often certain of the purpose revealed.
So what do we do?

We keep up the faith, we keep sowing until the moment of harvest arrives and we are told, just like the Apostle Peter, to cast the net again into the deep for a draught.

The catch was always there – but they had to be a stretching into the deep for a superabundant catch

As we have been waiting upon the LORD, proclaiming his word even in difficult times. We have hit a new day.

In an encounter this morning, “You have entered the moment of the sudden fulfilment of my word”

Coming out of this encounter the Holy Ghost led me to;

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. Isaiah 48:3
