I don’t want to write much before giving
the word, lest I distract from it. Please remember to pray for our
trip to Europe. It is already getting intense. We are still in need
of finances. God is well able. I will write more concerning the
details of this trip later.
Also Pastor Jacques in Rome needs prayer for healing and his wife
Bertha is in dire needs of healing in her Thyroid and blood. I know
you are faithful and will lift them up in your prayers.
A WORD - FROM BLOSSOM TO FUSION
The Lord told me to send you the last three days of my journal on
the Process of the Blossom. I know this will speak to you and
encourage you, the way that it has me I also know it will alert you
to a transition and a new positioning in Christ and things we need
to do moving forward to adjust to this new position to accommodate
it.
For those who are not familiar with the Process of the Blossom,
we have been in the midst of a process for the last few months. It
is called the Process of the Blossom, the Blossom being God’s love
and holiness. In this process the Lord is making a way for us to
know His love in a new way that changes us and draws us near. I
didn’t realize how little I have posted on this process. This is a
strategic time, even in the midst of our situations, to learn the
love of the Lord. It is the Love of the Lord that changes us and
draws us into the safety of the Father’s arms. It is a repositioning
and a pressing in to the Love of God our Father.
I feel like I am starting in the middle of a book but the Lord
said to post this, so I will.
7-26-10 Today is the day of new beginnings. Today we cross the
water where God held us under for so long (the water is that of
birthing and newness of life). Now we begin a new segment of the
Process called the Journey of Fusion. On this journey we become one
with Father God. We leave behind the world of confusion and darkness
and it’s ways. But this path, though extremely bright, seems rocky
and barren. There is not one plant or green thing in sight, only
rocks big and small, as far as the eye can see. I know we are
journeying to another water of change, and another crossing over,
and I know this part of the Process will take some time. It looks
burning hot and bright. But I am not hot, held like a babe against
Father’s chest.
“Where are we?” I asked
“In a place where there is nothing but Me,” Father said, “So you
will learn Me and learn to focus only on Me. It is a place where you
can adjust to the lights and fires of God, for I AM light.”
“Listen,” Said the Father, “I love you.” He gazed over the
expanse. “I don’t want to take you this way. It is not easy. But I
must, so I will. I will hold you and no matter how it feels, I will
never leave you. I am your shield. You must not leave Me even for a
moment, or just do your own thing. Your life is separate; it cannot
live in a natural way. Here is My promise to you. You will make it
through. You will not fail or fall. Not because of who you are, but
because of who I AM. That is My promise. It will not, and cannot
fail. I know how to keep you.”
7-27-10 The Father said, “Call in the Ocean, My ocean of Love
and Glory, to heal and fill the chasms. The Ocean you will cross is
inside of you. (Father told us before that we would swim across a
great ocean) The chasms are in your heart. They are designed not
only to separate you from yourself but from Me.”
“You feel like, ‘Is this all there is for me?’ The chasms of
doubts, fears, loneliness and hopelessness are in your heart. NOW,
call in My ocean of Love and Glory to fill your chasms and connect
your heart for Me and to Me. You say, “Where is the sweetness for my
life?” I AM! Press into Me.
Be very jealous for Me and for your time with Me. You want Me to
be very jealous for you, but My jealousy for you is driven and
released by your jealousy for Me. Stolen kisses that show your
hunger and your love for Me. I am healing the chasms of your heart.
Call in My ocean of Love and Glory and seek Me often, pressing
through jealously, for even one moment, one kiss.
Run to Me and not away from Me, like a shy, weary child, who
holds back wanting to be pursued. Press through and seek Me. I have
positioned Myself to never leave you, find Me often. I am right by
you holding you.
So I prayed. “Lord I call in Your Ocean of Love and Glory. Heal
my chasms, and help me press through often. I am hungry for You;
help me be more hungry for You. Help me find the stolen kisses to
give You jealously, through the day. Father all I want is to love
You and be with You.” I cried. “And now I see that I am the
hindrance and not You. Help me!”
“One is coming to help you.” Said the Father. “Love.”
“If you will do this,” the Father said, “and you will, calling in
My Love and Glory, and seeking My kisses jealously, giving me more
value than your time and your day, then I will heal your chasms and
you will be whole with Me.
I saw a heart as though it had been glued together with glory.
The glory will remain, the connector to God that took the place of
our pain and emptiness to connect us permanently to Him.
I want you to understand the no-mans land you are going through.
It is full of burning rocks and intense light. It is like a place
with two borders. (I remembered going into a country where you went
through the border, but 30-50 miles deep into the country; there was
another more serious border.) This is the land between two borders,
which you have to cross to get to the ‘entering in’ border. Notice
that I carry you, Father said. I, Father God, Myself, I could cross
this barren place in less than a heartbeat. I don’t have to endure
it, but I carry you to protect you and to see you through it. I
endure it with you and there we bond deeper. It heals your heart.
Then you will come to a place of another great transition and cross
over to live with Me. Though on the earth you can abide in Me.
Your blood has chasms too. The glory I put in your heart will
also heal the life in your blood.
7-28-10 When you look around you and all you see is burning
barren land, you are looking out, in the wrong direction. That is
the direction of circumstances, surroundings and situations. Turn
your eyes to My heart, I’m the one who carries you. Let Me be your
surroundings and your circumstances. Let Me be your gaze.
Then the Lord turned to me and said, “Let your Ebenezer arise!”
So I looked it up, even in the middle of worship, so that I would
know how to obey. I Samuel 7:12-13 Then Samuel took a stone and set
it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying,
"Thus far the LORD has helped us. So the Philistines (our enemies)
were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of
Israel(us). And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines
(our enemies) all the days of Samuel. Between Mizpah and Shen.
Mizpah means watch or watchtower. Shen means crag or rock, hard
place. Ebenezer means the stone of help. This far the Lord has
helped us.
Ebenezer was the same place where in I Samuel 4:3b they had been
terribly defeated. Where, “the elders of Israel said, "Why has the
LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Not why has the
Philistines defeated us, but why has God defeated us, because no
matter the size or format of the enemy, God is our victory. They
were defeated because of their sins and rebellions (their own ways
or self will). Why are we defeated? Not because our enemy is too big
for God. It is because we still have worldly ways and snares in us.
Honestly we all have at least some.
But look, in the same place the enemy defeated us because of our
ways, the Lord set up an immovable stone, saying He will help us and
not leave us to ourselves. He will be our victory and defeat our
enemies, in the same place we failed before. He will heal our ways,
which will release His hand to help us. 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Isaiah
57:14
I Samuel 7:14-15 14 Then the cities which the Philistines (your
enemy) had taken from Israel (you) were restored to Israel (you)…
and Israel (we) recovered its (our) territory from the hands of the
Philistines (our enemies). Also there was peace… and Samuel judged
Israel all the days of his life.
We will recover all when we position ourselves in the Lord. He
will fight for us. 2 Chronicles 20:15b Thus says the LORD to you:
'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for
the battle is not yours, but God's.
All the days of Samuel. Do you have to go find a Samuel, no. When
the word of God (isn’t that what a prophet is all about, the word)
rules in you, it will be well with you. When we allow the Lord to
rule us, our enemies both within and without, will be defeated. We
have tried to position ourselves like that before and were not able
to. What is different now?
Now, between the watchtower of watching for trouble from the
enemy, and the rock of a hard place and trouble where the enemy has
overwhelmed us, God set up a stone called Ebenezer, a Stone of help,
Jesus, our Rock of Ages. He has helped us this far. It has been hard
at times, but we have survived it. But now… a stone is ‘being’ set,
that is the Cleft of the Rock from the storms. It is the place where
Father God carries us in the midst of it all. We find it by
jealously pressing through, and calling in His ocean of Love and
Glory, changing the direction of our gaze, from our circumstances
and barrenness to Him. We give substance to what we look at; we
don’t want to give substance to our troubles but to God. We turn
ourselves to the one who carries us.
Now! We are enabled to do it and though it will be hard, if we
press in daily, we CAN do it. Let your Ebenezer arise in you and for
you. Call it in. It is your rock of help, your standard, your
boundary the enemy cannot pass over. As we fast and pray for our
nation and our break through, set up your Ebenezer. Command it to
arise. Not a pillar of salt from running away and being to tied to
what God told us to leave behind, but a rock of defense, a shelter
from the storms.
When Israel set up a stone as memorial, marker, boundary or
statement of God, they pour oil on it and call Heaven and Earth to
witness. Let God pour His anointing out on you today and you then
pour it on your Ebenezer. Call Heaven and Earth to witness God’s new
protection and boundary against the enemy in your life.
Things are about to change and though there are hard times ahead,
we stand in the Cleft of the Rock, our personal Ebenezer.
