Shutdown and Reboot!
Most of us are much too familiar with computer crashes or lock ups where things stop working and nothing we can do will fix it. The only thing we can do is a forced shutdown and hope the computer will fix itself on start up. Often it does, and sometimes it goes back to a spot where the computer was working and starts over from there.
This past weekend, God began speaking to be about my inner spiritual computer programs. It was made clear to me that there were still malfunctions in the programming that had caused some limitations for a long time that could not function in the next realm of His kingly order now manifesting from heaven. The new heavenly programs would not function without some critical updates in my operating system.
I believe God is calling for many of us to shut down and receive an updated operating system and then be restarted. I cannot say this strongly enough.
When our spiritual computer shuts down, the screen goes dark and there is a valley of deep darkness to go through before it is fully reprogramed with the new operating system. The dark valley is a part of the journey that we must go through to get to where we are going. God is taking us to a much greater place than before. He is installing in us a more perfected heavenly operating system that can handle the kingdom life manifesting in and around us.
Help me, Father, to write Your words from Your heart clearly; let them be placed into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Martha was troubled about many things. Many today are greatly troubled and are crashing spiritually. They are troubling themselves about “many things” and are thereby not fully seeing and experiencing the powerful loving presence of God that is bringing a great transformation from heaven to this world.
HO! STOP! BE STILL! QUIT! SHUT DOWN!
Shut down your troubled minds and hearts. Come to Me and rest in Me while I reprogram you with a new fresh operating system from heaven that is required to continue into the new life of heavenly reality that you have entered.
I have spared you and brought you to this deeper place of eternal reality flowing into all earthly existence. There is no comparison in this new order and the old programs and systems you have known in the past.
The seed of the new I have already planted deep within you, My chosen ones. Yet the old has continued to be your ways of being and doing while only hoping for the new someday.
The crash that you are experiencing or will soon experience is for the purpose of forcing the end of the old systems and programs. The new will arise from within you, and the voice of My prophets will confirm that which I have placed within you.
My mercy endures, and I am releasing great grace into you. The weight of My throne is coming upon you. There will be nothing left but you and Me.
Spiritually now gather all that you have and all that you are and all that you have known, all that is precious and vital to you into your arms and bring them to My altar and lay them down before Me. All of the crowns of your accomplishments and all of your previous life, both the bad and the good, you must lay upon My alter. I promise that I will return to you anything and everything that fits into the new system. All else I will replace with something greater and more perfect for your new heavenly life in My Spirit.
My love for you is your safety and security. I have loved you from your beginning and have never and will never stop loving you. Trust me, and I will restore all that you lay at My altar that is right for you and add greater blessings beyond all that you can imagine. Just as Abraham took Isaac to the altar and just as My Son went to the altar to lay down His life, the same you will do now. Isaac was delivered, and My Son Christ Jesus resurrected unto far greater life that brought redemption to the world. So also your life, after laying all down as a sacrifice unto Me, shall be resurrected to a higher plane and will bring change to the world.
The good of your sacrificed life will be delivered as Isaac and your eternal life on earth now will be manifest in the resurrection life of Christ in you to bring forth My new order on earth as it is in heaven by the power of My love flooding you and the world around you.
THE WARMTH OF GOD’S LOVE TRUMPS ALL OF OUR REASONING.
Our new operating system will be tailored to each individual’s gifts and callings according to the purpose of the ever expanding Kingdom of God. The new system has much more capacity to deliver the LOVE of God into every area of life on earth. Love is the central universal characteristic of the new operating system. All new programs are designed to function with this new system that works by love.
The new Kingdom of God operating system of LOVE establishes three perimeters of resulting function in our lives: RIGHTEOUSNES, PEACE, AND JOY fill our lives and the atmosphere around us. There is no place given to troubling about things, no room left for unbelief, fear, or defeat. Love rejoices in truth, bears all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
Do not fear little flock; it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
