An Exhortation

I cannot get past this burning in my heart to exhort the Body. I feel as if my heart is exploding with grief for others. All I have been able to do is to try to uplift the hearts of others, and encourage them to keep pressing through the place of squeezing. This is no doubt a time of testing for most of the Body of Christ. I cannot explain what I am feeling right now. It is like a Spiritual sugar rush that cannot be contained. I want to gather the masses and yell as loud as I can KEEP FIGHTING! He is with you through this time each step of the way. He has not left you, because you do things that please Him (John 8:29). When we trudge through these times of hardship He finds delight in us, because of our heart that has faith in Him. We must not let our hearts grow weary, but instead strive through these birthing pangs. With each contraction we hurt more as our flesh is being squeezed and pruned. We want to run to the hills and hide in the cave as Elijah did (1 Kings 19). God is calling us back out of the cave and has given us sustenance to survive the next stage in our walk with Him. The vision is very clear before our eyes what God has us to do, and that is to seek Him like we never have before. The harder it gets the more we need to search for Him. He is looking for the Brides of desperation. The ones that will give it all at all cost for just moment with Him in His house. We are all capable of walking in His fullness and in the destiny He has for us.

                I see a vision of a boxer that is going round for round with a heavyweight fighter. Each round the boxer is getting battered and brutalized. It isn’t until the bell rings when the boxer goes to his corner he gains a new sense of strength and renewal. He is strong again to go another round of fighting. God is in our corner when it feels that we are getting pounded by the enemy. He is there giving us strength to keep fighting the good the fight. In the end the score card will read that we have won the fight, because we have overcome by the Blood of the Lamb! We are fighting a fight that we already know the outcome to. Satan has been defeated! It may look in the natural that we are not winning the fight, but in the Spirit are victorious. 2 Corinthians 4:18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.  It seems as everywhere I look in the Word it is an exhortation to keep pressing through the trials we are facing. It seems to be harder than ever, because we are stepping into a greater anointing and inheritance than the Body has ever had. God is surely extending His favor to us, and He is our shield of protection. When it seems as if all is lost and we are being battered God replenishes our strength and wraps us in His wings. He is neutralizing the fiery darts that are trying to come against us.  Beloved, we are in a season of the miraculous works of the Almighty God. Do not give up what has already been given to you. Do not give up your royal crown for a cheap Burger King imitation, because it makes everything feel better. This is an hour to exhort even if you are going through more hell than anyone else. Do not look for a pity party, or complain about what you are going through. Turn your mourning to joy, and exhort your fellow brother in Christ. I am not saying that you cannot talk about what you are going through, but do not talk about it to get attention. Strengthen yourselves in the Lord as David did. He loves us so much He has poured about sufficient grace for this hour. You will live and not die! You have been appointed to where you are at for such a time as this! Arise from your slumber of depression and pity, and watch and pray! In Matthew 26 in the garden Jesus told His disciples repeatedly to watch and pray lest temptation befalls on you. He said you flesh is weak, but your Spirit is willing. Do not surrender what is already yours! We are all able to live by the Spirit. That is why Christ left, so that He could leave the Holy Spirit with us in order to fight through these times.

                Glory to God! I see a water flow of breakthrough for the Body! It feels as if we are pounding our heads on the wall, but the wall is breaking. The water is leaking out of the wall! The wall is crumbling and the water of breakthrough cannot be held back any longer! The birthing time of the vision that God has instilled in your Spirit is coming forth. His hands are waiting for the delivery so that He can catch the baby the moment it is birthed. Through Him this vision is grown and nurtured. Do not lose your vision in this day. When your vision seems dead pray that God opens yours eyes to His vision!  Hallelujah! HAHA! The victory is ours sayeth the Lord! The trumpets of victory are blowing! Visions are being restored! We cannot be held back from what God has put in us. Keep going! Do not lay down your swords! You are not alone! Your brothers in Christ are with you! If God is for us who can be against us (Romans 8:31)! Nothing can overcome our Spirits, because God is in our corner. We are just buffeting our bodies as a boxer does! We are taking shots, but our Spirit grows stronger with each hit, and we are not losing this fight! Be of good courage, and continue to fight the good fight! You are not alone and others are with you! I for one am by your side fighting on the front line with you! He is leading the fight, so we cannot lose! Praise be to God! Glory and Honor to the Rock on High! He is the Alpha and Omega! The First and the Last! The Father of Glory! The Father of Lights! You are our Friend, Father, and Bridegroom!
