The Clash of Kingdoms and Moves of God - WE ARE NOT ALONE

TODAY’S PODCAST IS ADDRESSING SOMETHING THAT I FEEL THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD HAS GIVEN TO ME TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU, AS WELL AS HAVING A PROPHETIC WORD AT THE END.

THERE IS ALSO A BEAUTIFUL SONG FROM THE LORD TALKING ABOUT HOW HIS MERCY REDEEMS.

This was a song that our son, Joel our oldest son recorded while he was going through a very difficult and deep time in his life and out of that came this beautiful song out of his grief and out of his hurt. Out of his challenges and change came this beautiful worship song, which I feel will encourage you today!

 

IT’S A CRAZY, UPSIDE DOWN, DISPLACING PHENOMENON WITH ALL THAT IS BEING THROWN AT US IN THE WORLD AND IT’S NARRATIVES.

It’s trying to get us to feel completely off balance and mentally weary. Resting, reading, getting outdoors, crying, laughing and expressing healthy anger gets a good detox going, shaking off the "world slime" and, its agendas.

Quiet resting in the presence of God just letting His grace and unfailing "nurture" wash us clean, renews the day and our minds.

 

MY FRIENDS, THIS BATTLE IS UGLY, LONG, IT’S VICIOUS and although new to us humans right now, to God it’s the same mocking evil that has forever attempted to overthrow and usurp His Kingdom.

It will never happen!

He IS THE Supreme Being, THE Creator of Love, and he laughs at the wicked.

 

NOW, WE AS HUMANS CAN’T MANUFACTURE AN AUTHENTIC MOVE OF GOD, but we CAN create the conditions that welcome a move of God!

We mustn’t forget that these events are God’s Divine work.

Human planning ignores the sovereignty of the Living God.  

A move of God begins with a person, or with a very small group of people.

Minorities, not multitudes make history.

 

WHEN GOD SENDS A FRESH MOVE BY HIS SPIRIT, IT ALWAYS COMES SUDDENLY. Where we are least expecting Him to act, God intervenes in time and space, revealing His might and His mercy.

Light comes into dark places whether invited or not.

And, it either exposes or…

…It illuminates hearts.

 

THE VOICE OF TRUTH WILL NOT BE MOCKED OR TWISTED.

Now, God will allow time for a heart to hear and obey, but will not permit passive resistance to change when He is speaking of new directions and desires to straighten out crooked paths.

Follow the Light of Christ prodding you to obey and fall upon the rock! Broken and honest people are His favored ones.

When a heart is open to the whispers of "The Counselor", life becomes a sweet gift as each day unfolds itself like a blooming flower, from bud to full mature glory, peeling away the layers of hiding and hurting, helplessness, and the hoarding of secrets.

Light shines into your darkness and fear no longer paralyzes you when you listen to the ONE, who knows you better than any other.

 

LOVE YOUR FAMILY, PLAY, PRAY AND PROTECT.

That’s power against the darkness!

And yes! Pray honest warrior prayers!

King David did!

In Psalm 10:15 he cried out to God saying,

“Break the arm of the wicked and evil man Oh God!

Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds,

which he thought you would not discover.”

 

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS THE FOLLOWING WORD OF PROPHECY

TO US IN THIS MESSAGE.

I want you to listen with an open heart

to what God instructs us to do at this time.

Here is what the Spirit of God has shared:

"Darker and broader and louder come the shouts of world to draw you into its intricate webs. 

These webs of deceit are spun with easy threads of recommendations to give in and accept passive living, and they lie with the softness of the promise of an easier life.

There is a reckoning coming to those that sell lies and imprison those who buy their wares.   

But, for those who are determined to not walk on a fence, trying to balance between their own thinking and me, there will be a “Divine Might” that will empower them to continue down the narrow and simpler pathway.

Where does this narrowing journey lead? 

What is the payoff at the end?

As you become more determined and lay aside the things that have hindered you over and over again from fully entering into the deeper places with me, a lightness and freedom will propel you toward a place of Living and Clean Light.  

That Light is Me, and you will soon know Me in a different way than you have in past years and different seasons in life.

My one warning to many is that they cannot argue that the path is “too hard”. 

What mankind may call “impossible” I call “Straight and Direct”. 

If you choose to alter the plans that I have set down for your protection and safety, you will grieve my Spirit and allow a searing of your conscience to override the truths that you know deep in your heart.

 Isaiah 26:7 says 

“The path of those who do right is straight and smooth.        

I, who am upright, make the way of the righteous level.” 

 

The simplifying and straightening of crooked places in your life has begun to increase, and the love for this move of my hand has decreased among those who choose to remain passive to conviction and pure living. 

Allow my Holy Spirit to move freely again!

I know what I must do, to break the constraints of man.

Let me move!

Wait in my Presence in prayer, in worship, in gatherings!

My Presence and Peace creates the environment for a move among humans who hunger for hope and safety! 

“Don’t stifle the Holy Spirit. 

Don't scoff at prophecies,

But test everything that is said. 

Hold on to what is good.” - I Thessalonians 5:19-21

 

Choose the “more narrow, simple way”, 

I Am there. 

Choose the pathway of “rightness and tenderheartedness” with me, even when others scoff at your simple and grace-filled choices.

When the days become darker and the world tilts and twists in further unrestrained darkness, you will be the carrier of My Light, which can lead the lukewarm and lost down the narrow, but safe and integral way, straight to Me.

Be Gracious. Be Kind. Be Hopeful.

Let go of bitterness and self-protective behaviors.

Grace and Kindness, Humility and Compassion, are the behaviors that attract the move of my hand and heart in the earth.

 

There is no greater love on earth than when you lay down your own life and your own opinions and lift up love and a sacrifice of worship and joyful unrestrained giving of all you have spiritually, physically, and in humble intercession, so that others might thrive. 

“I Am Forever With You!” Says the Spirit of Grace.

 

THIS WAS A POWERFUL WORD FROM THE LORD FOR US!

I encourage you to maybe print it out, take time to meditate on it.

Pray about it!

These moves of God that we are beginning to see moving on college campuses in different areas and now beginning to move in junior high schools, these are the moves of God that are coming for us to partake of and not to put our hands on and try to manipulate, and certainly not to cause these to become a movement that becomes something that we promote or try to sell something from!

Let them remain organic!

Let the Spirit of God blow across the land and if you’ll notice, this is causing people to cry out to God and repentance to get their hearts right.

 

MANY PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WAIT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, and to let worship just roll through the congregation or the gatherings!

Many churches have become more "concert focused" in their worship lifestyles and people just sit and listen, but there is no real entering in! No hymns, no traditional songs, maybe modernized, but certainly these are the hymns of our faith!

I NOW ENCOURAGE YOU TO SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL, WORSHIPFUL SONG AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT SING OVER YOU, sing through you (and I think there will be some tears), as you just enjoy the beauty of how the Mercy of God Redeems us and make us clean.

 

I encourage you to go to my website which is at www.marylindow.com

I now have a page there that introduces you to our pastoral counseling services. We keep the fees very modest because we believe in helping people and not “fleecing” people.

 Now, let’s listen to that song!
