Would you stand?
There’s a peer responsibility, says the LORD, that’s coming to you by my hand and not by your own, simply because I am making you to mind the business of some others that would consider you as a busybody, minding your business and not your own. The LORD says, It’s my mind, it’s my business, to enter into that relationship. Being as it is, says the LORD, there’s trouble on every hand, even death and destruction, says the LORD, ahead of those you know. In many ways I’m calling you in, to be faithful as a brother. Faithful are the wounds of a friend but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy. The LORD says, I want you to be willing to confront in a brand new way those that you know and perceive are in the trouble that leads to death. The LORD says, It’s a responsibility but I’m growing you up in the next three months. And in such ways I will do a quick work of righteousness, that in the midst of it, that in the midst of it, the LORD says, find within your heart a reason for rejoicing, a reason for knowing that the LORD has taken interest to develop that which He has planted within your heart, even Himself.
The LORD says it’s time for you to see that no longer will you be led by deductive reasoning, situation ethics; you will be led by my Spirit. And as the reasoning of your senses, being trained discerning good and evil, the LORD says, exercise your right in the scripture and discern whether I approve or disapprove. For I will cause you to know in the tone of your heart, my good pleasure or my displeasure. Move accordingly.
The tarying that you have been walking in, the place, says the LORD, of limbo, the neural place, is no more. Rejoice now. I’m bringing you out of that place of inactivity and pulling you in to an aggressive mode of seeking and pursuing the kingdom of GOD and my righteousness.
Thus all those things that you thought about in reflection, many of those things will be added unto you. Especially a car, especially those things that in the process of my blessing for you to be seen as one of my children, richly furnished, provided for, but not by the hand which you thought it would come, but by the hand of God.
As it becomes my portion, says the LORD, everything about you, the leadership quality and ability that I’m giving you, by faith, will be more important than what you could have received in Pharaoh’s courts. That you would rather choose to suffer with the Hebrews than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of the sins for a season. The LORD says, many of the delights that would be in your flesh were it not for this word tonight would parade before you. And I would say, turn them away, every one of them. From the female portion, to those materialistic values, and even intelligence acceptance; the LORD says I’m not allowing you to be promoted in the ways of Man, for the sake of your heart and for the sake of the leadership I have called you to. For as Moses was a deliverer to Israel in all their bondage, so will I make you a man who is a deliverer from[?] many of your own generation, for many of those who cannot find their way to the promised land.
He says, Rejoice. Because though it took thirty years, it will take a very small time, comparatively, in which you will carry your generation and those that I choose for you to reckon with, that they may know that that portion of GOD that the scripture speaks of has fallen upon you.
Say this with me:
Father, I receive of you tonight
a table
of nourishment
provided for me
in the midst of the wilderness.
You know my confusion
and all of the unrest
the responsibilities I bear
some false
some true.
You will help me differentiate.
I will discern them
by the power of your discernment
and be so gifted
in the discerning of the spirits
that by reason of exercise
my senses will be trained
discerning good from evil.
I’ll be one of your counselors
showing the difference between good and evil
empowering those
by the laying on of my hands
to choose the good and not the evil.
You raised me up from the dust
and from all of my sins
You’ve forgiven me.
Even tonight O LORD
I will walk free
even from the ailments
and the weaknesses of my flesh.
You have chosen me
a leader among the people.
I’ll be a torch.
an ensign
a mediator
in many situations.
And you will save and deliver
from the destruction of the devil
the lives of people
that I love and even don’t know.
I choose you LORD
above the riches
above the seductions
above all the things in the world
the lust of the eyes
the lust of the flesh
the pride of life.
You’re delivering me
completely tonight
that I would walk you way
and know it
and be confident in Jesus Christ.
Amen.
