Hi prepared one.
You whose lamp is ever being filled with priceless Oil.
And one who Jesus can trust with every new strand of light...
“Night is coming, when no man can work.”
John 9:4 ESV.
So as we watch and pray,
His priceless words.
Become more precious yet...
"The words that I speak to you are SPIRIT and they are life."
John 6:63 NKJV
Which reminds me…
A dear cousin from the highlands of Scotland phoned me last night.
A mountain man. And mighty man of GOD.
(He’d deny that. Yet he is. Don't deny it bro! :)
We could hardly speak fast enough. Words tumbling, tripping over each other. Racing over what was happening with each other.
Urgent. Urgent,
URGENT.
Our spirits witnessing to the same thing... the urgency of the hour.
Yet.
As I listened though, I noticed something about his spirit.
He was very different.
Something was GONE.
Nothing bad on his part, quite the reverse in fact.
He's broken out, on his enemies. Those hordes of wicked ones who'd been relentlessly pursuing him ever since being born again a few short years ago...
Well.
Now they are just... um, gone.
Wow!
Power surged out from him as he spoke :)
Of course,
I was well curious what had happened! So he shared that a fortnight ago he’d been praying one day for quite some time...
When quite by surprise a wonderful 'Cloud’ came and settled on him. It was so strong and beautiful he said it overwhelmed him.
And he ended up crying his eyes out for forty five minutes.
Since then he reckons... he's not been the same person.
I agree…
He's had a MASSIVE breakthrough.
Listening to him…
It was as if the PURE, INNER HOLY SUBSTANCE of his new nature, plus his own human spirit had become so fused with the Spirit of Christ...
That all of him was blazing in glory. In harmony. As if this amazing Jesus Himself stood triumphant all around, within and beside him.
This scripture describes his state now actually;
"In Him, we live and move and have our being."
Acts 17:28 NKJV
Okay,
So he doesn't speak in tongues.
He's a bit shy if you ask him to pray out loud with others.
And really,
He's only just past being a babe in Christ (only got born again a few years ago) so how come this huge change overtook him?
Well there’s this…
He reads the Word of GOD a lot. Side effect = Gets AUTO-FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. Jesus's words are Spirit... so stands to reason as he reads the Word of GOD, (Jesus's Name of course*), he fills up with GOD's holy Oil quick and fast.
He's a mountain man. He prowls around the mountains all by himself for hours. Praying. Praying. Praying.
Nothing remarkable eh?
Everyone for miles around in this part of the highlands knows his testimony. He is as bold as a lion telling everyone about Jesus.
Anyway,
Back to my point for you.
Early doors this morning while I was praying, I thought about why we'd both been so urgent in our conversation the day before.
When all of a sudden,
I was in the Spirit too.
And a vivid scene unfolded before me in the spirit.
The Holy Spirit showed me my spirit man running at speed.
I began running even faster and faster. As I did so I looked down at my hand and saw...
A sling with one perfect stone in it.
Looking up I realised I was charging at the enemy like a rhino.
No fear at all.
When all at once, I saw you run past me in a flash.
Whirling your sling above your shoulder...
Aiming.
FIRING.
And then,
Like a springing lion you leapt...
On the neck of the big beast that only two minutes before seemed so strong. Yet you struck him down in one daring charge!
Gone for good.
Because as you and I both know...
There's a TIME FOR EVERYTHING.
And I believe...
By GOD's grace, I saw something in the spirit this morning...
That some of you reading this are about to have a massive breakthrough against the things which have tormented you for so long.
You will conquer every single one.
This time though,
They are NEVER COMING BACK.
Instead...
Your spirit will blaze with glory just like my cousins is blazing now.
So,
Onwards and upwards dear one.
You are destiny is arriving.
But please...
Time is URGENT for us all now.
Let's be about our Fathers business...
Night is coming when no man can work.
Bless you,
Dave
