Esteem the Value of Quality Relationships
As I watch another chapter in my life closing and a new direction set before me personally, I find that prophesied new beginning looming ahead as I travel back to Tennessee from an appointed time in NC with family.
I have been thinking so much of the importance of every day and how we must acknowledge carefully the provision of mercy The LORD has so generously bestowed upon us.
It is my prayer that those reading this won’t just skim over this next part because The LORD specifically reiterated to me that His People have not come to the essence and value of EACH NEW DAY and have taken for granted HIS MERCY NEW EVERY DAY.
As we watch the killings, the suicides, the sudden deaths taking place, we must come with thankful hearts embracing Psalm 91 as our protector and provider has given us an insurance policy that we cannot put a price upon.
With a thankful heart, I embrace the beauty of His Grace and Mercy, greeting us morning by morning as The LORD allows us a brand new gift of time.
What a sobering truth that we will not pass this way again and we must learn to treasure the moments that will soon become memories.
We are living in a time that none other in my lifetime. It has opened up so many opportunities to be a light in the darkness and a chance to be a demonstration of God’s love and goodness.
In this hour, we are crossing over many troubled waters and stepping into a God ordained time to take back our beloved RED, WHITE, and BLUE country from the corruption of the evil one.
This has been a humbling time in many ways as we come to the realization that we cannot change the world but we can change how we respond and navigate our journey.
There are things happening all around us that we cannot fix. As one of my favorite bible teachers, Bob Mumford used to say,
“The LORD has fixed a fix we cannot fix”.
If I had to expound on that, my explanation would sound like this:
‘He is the only one who can turn it around for good for sure and He is the only one who has the answer because we cannot figure it out with human reasoning, our opinions keep us spinning in circles, our presumptions have no foundation and our assumptions are not truth’
That alone brings us back to the only solution. Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. He is the WAYMAKER who keeps His promise to lead us, He is the LIGHT in the darkness, and He is JUST in all His ways.
At this moment, I hear The LORD speaking, “As the springtime comes into full bloom, it is urgent for My People to spring forth into their blossoming new beginnings as My Bondservants who have been prepared for the next move of The Holy Spirit.
Some of you have experienced deep disappointment in relationships in this past season.
Many have not proven to be faithful. I assure you that as you have pushed past the hurt or pain of disregard, I have seen your heart and your uncompromising love for me shall carry you forward into many surprise new connections.
I AM gathering the trustworthy and faithful ones that will never forsake you. Many of them have seen the error of their past failures but with great repentance have let go of yesterday and are pressing into a new day with all their strength and courage.
Those that I am gathering shall stand valiantly together as difficult times are here but will not prevail.
So write trust, truth and transparency on your calendar and allow me to stamp it on your heart morning by morning as you guard your heart with all diligence and go join together with clear vision and clean hearts.
Make sure you only invest yourself in people who are faithful for it is time to lock arms and stand full of courage AS ONE,” instructs The LORD of Hosts.
As I have walked with The LORD, He has been cautioning me as Chuck Pierce so wisely has taught us to “know those who labor among you” … which simply put highlights those we are called to link arms with for His Purpose as He Rescues the perishing and allows us to “fight the good fight of faith.
We shall be known as the Radiant Remnant Bride as we are being carried across the Threshold of the House He is building.
“Just as Paul was a great example of the older teaching the younger, I AM raising up many of the older generation in this hour to pay it forward and teach the younger from their gleanings of wisdom and truth.’”
The LORD began to speak these parting words from 2 Timothy 2:2 regarding relationships.
This is a word The LORD is prompting me to share as a prophecy to many reading this post.
As Paul spoke to Timothy, I believe The LORD is saying to you, as we approach this new era of recovering all, it is urgent to value the quality of all relationships.
Many from the last season will not go with you in the next move of the spirit. Some in this last time frame have brought deep sorrow to you in many different ways.
Some others have not proven faithful. Actually, there have been times, you have had to take a deep breath and wipe away the tears of a wounded broken heart and forgive their condescending put downs and pain of disregard but The LORD is saying let it go. Do not be like Lot’s wife.
“Press on with a forgiving heart saying “Father forgive them for they know not what they do”.
Handpicked, chosen connections are awaiting you as you forgive and forget. Yes, forget for vengeance is mine alone.
You shall walk with new friendships who have been tried in the fiery furnace and are carrying the flame of my love,” says The LORD.
They have been found trustworthy, faithful, and steadfast in the family of The LORD.
So prepare to lock arms and take a firm stand for TRUTH as you build The Kingdom of God AS ONE.
Always remember The LORD has chosen you to bear fruit that remains.
