2022 a Year to Come Closer - Shepherd's Awake

 2022 a Year to Come Closer. - Part 2

 

SHEPHERDS AWAKE

There is a cry from the heart of God for shepherds to awake. I felt God was saying “My Shepherd’s are asleep, and my people are scatted across the mountains, with no one to gather them together.”

The heart of God is that a voice of encouragement would rise up and neutralize the ever-increasing wave of negatives. This is the voice of the Shepherd, a voice to declare the reconciling work of the cross to his people and create an atmosphere within Christians that permeates everything and creates a glorious external environment. Every positive word spoken would tear down the walls of negative and build strongholds of hope and love. 

 

MOVE THE OPPOSITE SPIRIT

God shouts to the Shepherds to wake up and move the opposite Spirit to the negativity of the world. To awake and defeat negative emotions and negative thoughts. It is time to stop empowering the enemy against ourselves. It is time to remove the darkness from our minds. For the Shepherds to encourage and lead us into greater knowledge and experience into our identity in Christ. To declare that as Christ is so now we in this world.  To declare that we can be victorious, overcoming, and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.

 

YOUR INHERITANCE

God doesn’t need to be understood or explained. Christians are those that  have been made New Creations in Christ to experience the resurrected power of Christ within us, to experience and know God’s love, so that our lives become a proclamation of glory of God’s nature. It is this new nature in Christ that Shepherds need to awake into and declare. It is time for Shepherds to declare to the children of Christ their inheritance given to them in Christ.

 

2022 will be a year for the Shepherd’s to awake and bring back the scattered from across the mountains, into a gathering of unity rooted and grounded in love and established in the blood of Jesus. The enemy would fill our mind and hearts with negativity, 2022 God wanted to declare out his word of encouragement that will neutralize the enemy. To declare to all the reconciling work once and for all time, of the finished work of the cross.

PRELUDE

God has been speaking to me of Prelude. That 2022 with be a time of Prelude as the Holy Spirit will move across and in his people to ignite a passion to come closer to him. His invitation to come closer is to draw you into to a chamber of intimacy where he can release his discernment into our hearts.

A DAY OF DESTINY

We are entering into a day of destiny. A day of favour in God through the finished work of Christ. This day was started at the cross, but the people of God have not discerned it and have not grasped it. This is a day where God's plans and purposes are bursting forth. A day of inheritance and strategy . A day when mystery will be revealed. The question that God is asking is "Can you discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you?" This day is a day of the early signs of the Spirit's plans and purposes.

THE BATTLE TO COME CLOSER

The enemy knows that the Day of Destiny is breaking forth around us and the enemy's invitation is to come closer to his lies and deception. He has unleashed a spirit of helplessness upon the face of the earth that has been fueled by the media . Technology has been given a free hand and an enchantment of helplessness has drawn people into a fear and anxiety fueled by lies.

God is is saying in 2022 "Come away with me, come closer, don't be drawn into the enchantment of lies and helplessness ."

The battle is for the drawing of your heart, and battle to come closer to God or come close to the influences of the world. This battle will draw an alienation in the hearts of Christians and there will be an ever increasing knowledge of a seasonal change. This season will be either deeper into God or deeper into the methods of the world.

THE SEASON OF HIDING IS OVER

2022 Will be time of God saying to his people the hiding is over for the rains are going to soak the earth. This invitation is to come closer and know the rain soaking the earth. God wants to fill the earth with blossoming flowers and overflowing ripe fruit. It will be those Christians rooted into Christ, with their roots deep in the finished work of Christ that will start to blossom as they come closer to God and leave the enchantment of the world behind. For those who feed and live of the media and the world and increasing feeling of helplessness will invade their lives and thoughts.

2022 a Year to Come Closer

 Over the last few weeks, I have been drawn back into government restrictions, these have included wearing face masks and to continue to keep my distance with social distancing.

I felt God saying, "I want to come closer, and I want you to come closer. The enemy wants to move you apart, but in 2022 I want you to come closer. Closer to me, so you can feel my breath upon your face, and I can touch your lips with my Holy Spirit. 2022 is going to be a year where I am inviting you to know my deeper love, for my closeness to be your secure embrace and in my closeness, you will find safety and security from the storms and ravages of the world. The enemy has tried to drive my children apart, but 2022 will be a year of coming close to me so I can blossom in your heart.”

Jesus trusts you. He trusts the life of the Holy Spirit planted in you to produce all good things according to his will.

Jesus will direct your paths. He is leading you and guiding you into all the purposes of God planned for you.

Jesus delights in lighting your paths, giving you rest and sharing his plans and dreams with you.

God is not hiding from you, he does not withhold any good thing from you and you are the delight of his heart.

Listen to his whisper, cherish the warmth of his breath, and taste the goodness of his love.

He is your way in the darkness around you, He is the truth of all things given to you forever and He is the resurrection life in your heart.

Let His presence fill and delight your heart and let his desire be the satisfaction of your life.

Perfect Love

 

Life Not Chaos

 The world lives in chaos, every belief the world gives us is meant to distract and misdirect us into chaos. It provides information that misdirects from the truth.

Jesus said He was the truth. He said that if you wanted to know what God was like look at him.

Jesus Christ is our road out of the chaos of the misdirection of the world. The road to freedom is found at the cross. The road to life is found in the resurrection life of Christ.

Religion offers me a wide road of law. Religion gives me a wide road of my self righteousness. In Jesus Christ I have a narrow road of Christ alone. In Jesus Christ I have a narrow road of the free gift of grace.

All around me the enemy has created distractions and tries to lead me with misdirection.

But Christ gives me freedom, fills me with his Holy Spirit and immerses me in a river of his unconditional love.

In Christ I am a New Creation and I am alive to Christ and dead to chaos.

Jesus Christ is the peace of God in my heart. He invites me to dwell in his peace. He is an oasis of peace that has freed me from the chaos of the world.

The Inheritance of Jesus

 In Christ I now inherit the inheritance that Jesus had. Jesus is my promised land, He is the promise of God given to me.

My promised land is now that I am a New Creation in Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the power of the risen Christ in me that overcomes in me, with me and through me. I overcome because the overcoming Christ lives in me and is united to me. I am never separated from Christ. He is never separated from me.

There is never a moment in my life that I am alone. Christ in me had broken the spirit of isolation. The world would lie to me and tell me I am isolated, but God would tell me that He is always with me and I am never alone.

All the inheritance that Jesus won at the cross is now mine. Every promise of God is now YES and AMEN to me in Christ Jesus. Everything won and the victory of the cross is now mine in Christ.

Christ's inheritance is my inheritance. His death released His inheritance to me. Now in my New Creation life in Christ the risen Christ has made me his home. I am now the dwelling place of the glory of God.

For his presence lives in me and within me is the joy of God and He has pleasure in me. For in Christ there are pleasures for me forevermore.

As Christ Is So Now Am I

 It was always God's intention to have the same relationship with me that He has with Jesus. It was never God's intention to rescue me from this world but to co-habit with me in Christ.

God's intentional love was always to elevate me in the Kingdom. For God to fill me full of His presence. For God always predestined and planned for me to live, experience and flourish in the glory and life of God in Christ in me.

God planned intimacy with me in Christ. To know the majesty and love of God in intimate union with Christ. For the Holy Spirit to nourish me, nurture me and protect me. To know the depth and breadth and height and vastness of the love of God.

For me to experience the life of Christ in every moment and in everything I do. For God to work in and through me in the Holy Spirit.

To open up my life with the same life and relationship God has with Jesus. For as Christ is so now am I. Everything God thinks of Christ He now thinks of me.

God wants me to know him the same way Christ knows God. God wants me to live in the same closeness He has with Christ.

For I am now His son in Christ and I am now one with the risen Christ and as He is so now am I.

Molten Love

 

Stop. Breathe.

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” – Genesis 1:26

The heart of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was to share and enjoy the dance of eternal glory. To reflect the overflowing, wonderful love of the triune Godhead with perfect creation. It was the Godhead “Us” that created man in their own image and all the glory of heaven was shared with man.

God stooped down, he put his life, his essence, his creativity, his majesty, his glory into the dust he had made and with all the joyous delight of the triune God he formed man. God immersed the dust into the eternal dance of love and this would not be the only time that God would stoop and kiss our world. He would bring himself down to us by lying in a manger, work in a carpentry shop, sleep on a mountainside, eat with the forsaken and despised, be spat upon, lied about, be beaten, ridiculed, humiliated, nailed and cut open. 

And there in that moment of creation, as man was formed, and God’s life was breathed into his body. For the first time in eternity, for the first moment in the joyous dance, God and man waited and listened as the first heartbeat sounded on earth, the first heartbeat sounded in eternity and the first heartbeat sounded in the frame of man.

Never had a heart been formed and never had a heartbeat been heard. Creation listened to the life of God flowing through man’s frame of dust, united with glory, perfect, whole, good, and heaven had entered earth.

Stop. Breathe and listen to your heartbeat, listen to your breathing, it is the wonder of life, the joy of the Creator manifest in dust and alive in your heart.
