I had a very surprising encounter with the LORD recently.
He said, “My Daughter, what I AM going to say to you, not only applies to you, but to many who have entertained some people who were “Spiritual Leeches” recently, who seemed needy and you willingly tried to help them.
But know this, they were sent to wear you out and drain you of your energy and stamina, as well as your Spiritual Vision. They took your valuable time and left you distraught.
But I say to you, today, I AM pouring out greater and deeper Discernment in this hour, so that you will recognize immediately who is sent from Me, and who is sent from the enemy to hinder the work, My Work.
I AM giving you Dreams and Visions in this now time.
Tell the people who are sent by the enemy to Repent, turn to Me, and I will save them.
Many of them know Me, but still run to someone to hear what they want to hear.
Always show love — for they have a deep love — but use Godly Discernment!
Beloved, tell them, “If you will lay aside the Spirit of Entitlement, you will be clothed with a fresh Garment of Humility and Holiness that will enable you to no longer be deceived by the pride of your heart — but will be filled to overflowing with transparency and Truth that will enable you to forward with boldness and share the good news of your Savior, Jesus Christ, who rescued you out of darkness into His marvelous Light,” says The LORD.
“Never forget your experience when I gave you Beauty for Ashes.
The Fire of My Love that came, then burned up the rubbish and lies that were just garbage living inside of you, and brought forth a purified beauty.
I tore those people from you whom the enemy had sent on an assignment to hinder the Call I had on your life.
You are Anointed to bring Deliverance to those whom I send to you — but it is very critical at this time to discern My Spirit!” says The LORD.
“It is a Set Time like no other to persevere and press into your Assignment and Call in this season.
So, be steadfast and know that the obstacles that are presenting themselves, will test your determination and perseverance.
So stop and listen to My Still Small Voice and you will discover you have untapped power deep in your spirit to press through circumstances of disappointment, loss, hurt, sickness, and many painful issues designed by the enemy to cause you to lose your focus.
Never forget, I have Appointed and Empowered you for these last days.
You must now guard the many deposits entrusted to you for the Glory of the LORD,” says the Father.
As I pondered this, I challenge you to ask yourself this one thing:
What has God entrusted to me? And why?
You might be surprised at the riches He had deposited in you as a safe place.
The word Entrust in Hebrew denotes appoint, to remember, or deposit. The dictionary defines ‘Deposit’ as a verb…. store or entrust with someone for safekeeping. “a vault in which guests may deposit valuable property.”
As I pondered the many people that the LORD had used to rescue, deliver, and disciple me, my heart is full to overflowing with His unfailing Love.
Looking back, I realize that He handpicked just the right intercessors and faithful disciples to patiently and deeply sow into my life.
I now realize that just like Paul, they understood and faithfully guarded what God had entrusted to them.
You see, beloved, I was younger then and they were older. We are in a time period now when He is also using the older to equip the younger.
Much of the younger generation being raised up now shall be a large part of the end-time revivals.
Let’s take time to pause and look at Paul and Timothy. I now realize that those who interceded and discipled me, much like Paul did Timothy, understood and faithfully guarded what God had entrusted to them.
I hear the LORD saying, “This also is a set time for the older to teach the younger.
There were many that have gone before you that are mentioned as ‘Heroes of the Faith’.
In these dark and fear-filled days, many are looking for a hero, and I AM calling for those who will demonstrate heroic deeds and Faith beyond measure that will be remembered as Anonymous Heroes of the Faith — but their names shall be well remembered in heaven,” says the Creator of all.
“Many seasoned mature Warriors in this hour have been entrusted to live out their Faith and Testimonies in relationships much like Paul had with Timothy.
They have been appointed and empowered to guard the many deposits ENTRUSTED to them for the glory of The LORD in these last days!” says the Father.
As I penned these words, beloved, I have been pondering how deeply He trusts us when He entrusts another to us.
That made me stop and realize how important it is to Him when someone we have trusted has only been using us, or even when they break that trust by not being trustworthy.
When we pray, “LORD, I trust in you!” we know He can be trusted, and if He is in me and you trust me, and I cannot be trusted, how does The LORD see that?
I believe it is a time to Repent and deeply search our hearts to make sure we can be trusted.
What an honor when He entrusts another to us, to disciple and train them up in the way they should go.
I pray with you today,
May the LORD our God continue to open up the eyes of our understanding to totally embrace a Kingdom perspective in this late hour.
May we keep our hearts with all diligence, for we do not know our own hearts.
May He allow us to see our “small world” through His eyes, and may He be ready to entrust us to see through His eyes the big picture that only He can see, that we might gain greater revelation as we step up to meet the challenges in these days of darkness and light.
Won’t you pause with me a moment, and let that thought and our prayer marinate in our hearts until it is totally absorbed.
We must get a new understanding through His Perspective and let that penetrate deeply to foster perseverance as well as our identity that we are indeed a House of His Presence.
Beloved, the LORD is building His house right before our eyes to show forth our true colors in these end-times, for we are a reflection of our creator.
He has told us in His word, He is building His house, and unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who try to build it.
He is filling our hearts with courage to walk in wisdom throughout the era now opening up.
True courage requires discernment. He has entrusted us with His trust, He has entrusted us with the choice to choose to embrace courage when it is painful, dangerous, and many times intimidating.
As we choose courage, He is hiding us under the shadow of His wings.
His hidden ones shall emerge fully clothed in humility. He is covering us with His feathers as we take refuge under His Wings. That is what Abiding is all about.
Abide in HIM… under the Shadow of the Almighty.
The Hebrew word for “abide” from that verse means to literally stop, remain, and lodge.
The meaning is clear: If we choose to abide under God’s shadow, we need to stay and dwell with Him.
May He always Trust us to be Entrusted!
The LORD’S Grace to Paul:
“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners — of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Timothy 1:12-17.
The Charge to Timothy Renewed:
“Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.” 1 Timothy 1:12-19 NIV.
