I’m talking about you friend. We have been grafted in to the children of God with Israel or the Jewish people. God must refine us too at times. Raise your hand if you want to get thrown into the fire? I know I don’t.
[“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another.” Isaiah 48:10-11 NKJV]
Yet here we sit. At the beginning of this year we all saw November coming as an election year. Lou Engle and many others prompted a 9 month fast leading up to The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. We warred personally and for our nation. It lead to the beautiful culmination of amillionwomen.org that gathered in Washington D.C. Now there seems to be a silence from Heaven.
As I was on my way to Daniel 7:22 a scripture stood on by many at the million women gathering, I divinely fell on Isaiah 48. In Judges 5, Deborah speaks of a double curse as does Paul in Galatians 1. Isaiah 48 is not a curse hallelujah. Rather it is a refining from the Father. I’m ready for it to be over. Anyone with me?
However long you have been in the furnace, God is speaking to us today. He is saying, ““I have declared the former things from the beginning; They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass (verse 3).” I could not get past this verse yesterday. It was confirmed by a word from Joe Joe Dawson on Elijah List given on October 15, 2024. God spoke to him saying, “Abrupt change”.
This was a word from the Lord October 15th as well: “Im going to shift and shake! IM GOING TO SIFT AS OF WHEAT. (I can see His face strong almost shouting this but firm coming from the right side facing left). Dear daughter I’ve had enough of complacent behavior. People thinking I am not God because I curtail. Because I long for My Bride to return to her stronghold. Yet I am treated as mud. NO MORE! I do not tarry. I do not make you wait. Rather I’m hurrying, scurrying everywhere bringing IT to pass- YOUR HOPE AND DREAMS. They are from Me! Why would I wait to give them to you? War in the spiritual realm. Speak my blessings and My word. Speak young voices and speak old and everything in between. An elephant can walk a tight rope. Their size and girth is not relevant. Why? Why DID I MAKE THIS SO?! It’s for you to trust me. Though you may think it is large it can balance the scales. I am King of balance and scales and justice. My all seeing eye sees it all. Answer My call and I will lead you…”
Yet here we sit in the waiting. More waiting. The enemy seems to be throwing suddenlies from everywhere. Yet my God laughs! When I see others who have believed for breakthrough especially in our nation for so long my heart breaks for them. BUT GOD says, “Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you, Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them, And my carved image and my molded image Have commanded them.’ “You have heard; See all this. And will you not declare it? I have made you hear new things from this time, Even hidden things, and you did not know them. They are created now and not from the beginning; And before this day you have not heard them, Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’ Surely you did not hear, Surely you did not know; Surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deal very treacherously, And were called a transgressor from the womb. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another.”
Remember God does nothing before He has spoken through His servants, the prophets. A Word from the Lord on October 16th: “Jump into the deep waters of me. Deep is calling you. You need to understand that I speak through you. I put My words in your mouth. I set up princes and I establish thrones and kingdoms. It is the working of My hands. Your job is to speak of Me. Speak My word into the earth. Bring heaven’s glory down upon the Earth. Let it rain with my glory. Let it rain with your decrees and declarations. Establishing my thoughts and the holy of the air are sequential to the coming of my glory. Keep in mind my glory is free, but it must be brought low. Do not be careless in this. Do not be whimsical as if a magic wand has been waved over you and the world. Nay. I need active participants. I need prayer. I need knees on the ground. I need consecrated lifestyles. I need humble, humility to go forth in packs of wolves….”
Glory to God we are not cursed. We have been made strong. Now it is time for breakthrough. I believe we should all be still and calm ready to hear direction from Holy Spirit so we can answer our call to the best of our ability. God has heard all your prayers. Every one He has heard. It has all led to this. You are made strong in Him!
[““All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The Lord loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans. I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Your descendants also would have been like the sand, And the offspring of your body like the grains of sand; His name would not have been cut off Nor destroyed from before Me.” Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice of singing, Declare, proclaim this, Utter it to the end of the earth; Say, “The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob!” And they did not thirst When He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow from the rock for them; He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out. “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.” Isaiah 48:14-15, 17-22 NKJV]
