October 19th - A Strategic Prophetic Word For You

The Lord has been talking to me about another cross point on October 19th. That is a strategic crossing over that will change your lives. These next few days need to be spent in preparing yourselves for that crossing over. Though we have had a couple of crossing points in the last couple of years, I knew this one would be different. I knew this one would change our lives in a special way. As the Lord has dealt with me about this over the last week or so, I knew the crossing point would be different for each person. It will change the face of your world and bring you into the things the Lord has prepared for you. You have gone through many things to prepare you for this crossing over. It is time. This is the entering in, and though there will be a time of learning and growing in what God has in store for you, this will definitely be the beginning of something new and wonderful in your lives.

THE VISION
(Many of you will remember the things the Lord has taught us by using examples from the Conifers. But since some of you may be new to the list, I will give a short explanation of the Conifers. Conifers were probably the worlds largest tress. They lived long ago. We only know about them via fossils and residues. They were amazing trees. God began to teach me about Conifers so I could learn from their way of life. The lived in large clusters. This was important because, as the climate became increasingly arid and dry, they created their own moisture barriers. They were a shelter to many smaller animals, but the most amazing thing about Conifers is that they were all connected via their root system.

This meant they could help each other, and gain strength from each other, an important lesson for Christians to learn. The stories the Lord shared about conifers always went back to the first and main Conifer, the Grandfather Conifer. He was amazing, wise, dedicated and kind. He was very selfless in his sacrifices for the other conifers and for the Lord. I was amazed to see in the vision of the Lord, the core of Grandfather Conifer had been carved into a room, with a carved bed, chair and table. Jesus, Himself had carved the room to dwell with Grandfather Conifer. It was a very painful sacrifice, but Conifer was Glad to offer it. Then in what seemed to me to be the ultimate sacrifice, Conifer allowed Jesus to carve everything away from his heart, so the Lord Jesus could come and curl up next to his heart. Amazing. With this little bit as a background, let me continue with the current vision of the Lord.)]

"Conifer," I called, "Is that you?"
"Yes." Grandfather Conifer replied.
"Am I supposed to rest here from all my battles?" I asked
"No." Said Conifer, "The Lord wants to show you something."
"Oh."
Then Jesus spoke. "You know that Conifer is connected to all the other conifers."
"Yes.' I replied.
"He feeds them." Jesus said, "But did you know they feed back to him as well."
"No." I said, "I didn't know that."
"It is a network." Jesus said, "I want you to be a network too. Not just of warriors, but of churches."
"Lord, how can I possibly do that?" I asked. It seemed too much. But Jesus ignored my question.
"Look at the roots." Jesus said. As I looked underground I saw that the roots were thick and strong. They were rubbery and pliable, so that drought wouldn't break them. Then I saw it. There in the center of all the conifers was a big gnarled hub. "What is this hub?" I asked. "I thought Grandfather Conifer was the hub." But then I saw that he was off to one side of the over all Conifer grove. This hub was in the very center.
"It is from Grandfather Conifer but it is not him. It feeds him too." Jesus said. How could that be? It is from him but it is not him and it feeds him too. That seemed confusing. I could see the many roots and feeders feeding out to all the conifers, even those the furthest out from the center, but they also fed back from the conifers, through the hub for Grandfather Conifer. I realized that a true hub would be like that, two way.
"Where did this hub come from?" I asked. "Did it come from Grandfather Conifer's heart?"
It was Grandfather Conifer who replied. "Not exactly. Do you remember how Jesus carved a place for Himself in my core? It was extremely painful, but I let Him because I love Him. It was my sacrifice of love. Then He carved a place near my heart. He cut everything away from around my heart. It was so painful that I thought I would surely die. But I did it because I love Him. It was my sacrifice of love. When He curled up around my heart, I was glad. It was enough for me, or so I thought."
"But one day Jesus came back to me with all He had cut away from me. Everything that hurt me so deeply." Conifer said, "I honestly thought He threw it all away, but there it was in a big bag, mixed with His blood and the sweat of His labor of love, the work of carving so patiently and diligently in me."
"'I want to use this', was what He said to me." Conifer said. "I want to make a hub for the conifers, to connect them to you."

"Me?" I said to Him. "Why?"
"Because your pain and sacrifice of love will build a hub so that many will live and not perish." He told me.
"OK." I told Him, but I wondered how my dead shavings could be anything valuable, let alone a hub. It was indeed His hand that cut it from my heart and my core. It was my sacrifice of love. But now Jesus infused it with His life and then put it in the center of the conifers. But well, back then there was nothing there. There were only a handful of conifers, and they were by me. I was already connected to them. Why would Jesus put the hub there, in what seemed to me to be the middle of nothing. But Jesus knew where the conifers would grow. He knew where it needed to be. He could see what I could not see and I had to trust Him.

When He had the hub in place, He told me to stretch my biggest root and connect to it. "Surely not." I said. "That is my pain. It is all You so carefully cut away. It is everything I have tried so hard to forget."
But Jesus said, "Just as My pain and death brought life to others, now I have infused your pain with My Resurrection life. Your pain and suffering, given to Me from the heart and core of your life, will be a hub for Me to pour My life through to others, but I need you to re-connect to it first." 
"So I did. Then I saw that Jesus also had a permanent connection to the hub, to feed in and out, not only for the others but also for me." Conifer finished speaking and turned to Jesus.

Jesus said, "What is that below the hub?"
"Water." I said.
"Where does it come from?" Jesus asked patiently.
"It comes from the hallow of the Father God's hand." I said excitedly.
Jesus turned and looked at me. "The pain and suffering you give to me as a sacrifice, I can infuse with My life, and flow life and anointing through it for others." He turned His head and looked at me, the way He does when it is serious and it requires a response from me. "So you must give your pain and suffering to Me. You must let Me lovingly cut it away from you, and infuse My life into it. Then I can reside in you where it was cut away. But it only truly blesses you and becomes a hub for Me reach others, when you reconnect to it."

Reconnect to my pain. That was a lot to fathom.
"It is a great trust in Me, to reconnect to your deepest pains and believe that I have changed them. You must believe that I wouldn't ask you to reconnect to death." Jesus said. "It is that final trust. That crossing over, that will create a hub of life for others and for you. But all that flows through it is Me."  He turned and looked at the roots of the conifers. "Though the world knows drought, these will always have the waters of life from the hallow of God's Hand. I need you to become a hub. I need you to reconnect to the pain that I cut away."
It was impossible for me to imagine, but I knew I would obey.

"Moses let Me cut away his destiny, so that he could live a simple life in Midian." Jesus said. "It was very painful for him. But then one day I asked him to re-connect to all that had been cut away. It was impossible for him to even imagine. It took every ounce of trust he had to do it, but it rescued a nation. He became the hub. You crossover by trust. You trust what you cannot see or even imagine. And when you do, you will become a hub for Me.

CONCLUSION
I don't know what your pain was, but I know Jesus has changed it by applying His life. Give Him your pain. Use your biggest trust ever to crossover. How do you do that? By simply stating, "Lord I give You my pain, from eternity past until this moment. Infuse it with Your life, so it will become something You can flow through to others. I am willing to reconnect to my pain as an act of trusting You. I trust You. Amen."

I don't know what will happen in your life or even if anything will be evident at first, but I do know something will change, and things will begin to come into line with something new and wonderful for your life. Let's all crossover on October 19th, by making some simple statements of trust. I expect to hear good things from you.
