Standing in The Doorway Threshold...
Last night I had a vision of a person standing in a doorway
threshold. The door was open, and the person was pushing and
straining against the threshold, where the doorposts were. Beyond
the person, on the other side of the doorway was tremendous
lightning and roaring sounds coming from it.
The person was so busy
pushing at the doorposts and straining within the threshold, they
were not even concerned with what was happening within the doorway.
I was curious as to why the person was struggling so, and why they
were so determined to accomplish their efforts there, instead of
going through the doorway and into the next thing that God had for
them that waited beyond them. I did not have to wait long to find
out.
The Lord began to speak to me concerning the vision:
"What you see before you, is the hour that has now opened before My
people. It is a divine time and it is now set in it’s place. Time
cannot be changed nor the events that must now transpire. I have
been leading My people to this time, and trying to help them prepare
for it. But My People have been struggling at the process instead of
yielding to My directions.
They continue to fight and resist and
struggle with their flesh, and their thinking, instead of trusting
me. The way is open before them as you can clearly see, yet they
remain caught up in the process, and in doing so, many will
ultimately fail to take their inheritance."
"Many people fight when they should be quiet and listening to Me.
They war with each other, and with situations around them, without
My giving them a command to, and they think they are always to
engage everything around them. Yet, they cannot discern the times
and the seasons, and what I am doing in them.
If they would just
come to an end of themselves, and get before Me, they would have the
answer to their problems. They would also see the door that is open,
and they could then step into the power that awaits them."
"They strive in their minds, giving place to the enemy, and are
continually warring with the enemy of their souls, and with their
own thoughts. Yes, you are to take every thought captive, and bring
everything into obedience to the Word, but in this hour, many never
enter into that place of rest, quieting themselves before Me, to
hear Me, and to gain the wisdom for the next step. So, they wear
themselves out, and the enemy ambushes them. This is an hour of
sober preparation and absolute focus upon Me."
"They also struggle with their flesh, and in their flesh. If they
would bring it to the Cross and subject it to death, and deny
themselves, then their lusts would not continually defeat them. It
is a continual discipline. But My People do not discipline
themselves enough, but many do all that they desire and fill their
hearts full of pleasures, rather than seeking Me. They choose the
path of ease and of little responsibility, rather than become
accountable. I call to them, but many do not follow Me. So, they
strive in the flesh, only to be defeated by the process, rather than
receiving the promises."
"What you see is the state of those who will fail to enter in at
this time. I have warned My People and have called out. It is time
to enter in, and come into your places. It is time to receive of Me,
all that you need for the days ahead. Many make the mistake of
thinking that they can provide for themselves out of their own
wisdom, out of their earthly preparations, and human sources. But
they do not know what lies down the road, but I do. I prepare the
way for Mine. Yet, they continue to not trust Me and they do not
truly love Me. If they truly loved Me, they would deny themselves,
and they would obey Me."
"The final choices are being made. Many are at the threshold even
now. Many are still kicking against the process, and trying to work
it in their own strength, and will fail, even when it is right in
front of them. It is time to obey. It is time to cease from your own
labors, and walk forward as I lead you. It is time to die to your
own thinking and expectations. The future is not as you think."
"The days ahead are of great turmoil, deep darkness, war, and fear.
Many will run to and fro trying to achieve their goals, trying to
protect themselves, and they will not have My Word and plan to do
it. My People must come to Me and listen to Me. I have opened the
door to this pivotal year, and you are at the threshold now. What
will you do? Will you fully submit to My dealings, and allow Me to
guide you? Or will you continue to go your own way, and be defeated
at the point of breakthrough?"
"I show you this, because many think they are ready. Many think they
can go forth as they are. Many think that I do not see them or know
what they are doing. Many think they can enter in without change.
There will always be changes, and yet, the greatest change has
already taken place amongst Mine who have surrendered and who have
prepared. Many have missed the transition and transformation, not
recognizing what I was doing. Yet, some think they are done, and
they will be sidelined in their deception. It is a new day and time.
It is also at the point of birthing that the enemy comes and takes
out many who are not alert."
"Continue to listen to Me, and not to lean to your own
understanding. Even at this stage. The door is open. Many have
already entered, and many are at the threshold. Some are coming up
to the doorway. The moment you think you stand in your own strength,
then you will fall and be taken captive. Never be like the world and
be confident in your position! "
"I have shown you this also, for those who have entered in. Take
heed to yourselves as well. Guard your hearts and minds, and remain
in Me. Stand firm in humility knowing the times that will quickly
come now. Soberly be watchful and pray. For the release of My Power
is now. It is already flowing through you. You are learning to walk
in it. Great temptation comes with great empowerment. But great is
the provision for Mine who have given Me themselves and who walk
with Me. You will lack nothing that you will need to fulfill your
parts. I have all things ordered according to My Will."
"My Spirit will continue to bring division in the earth, as the true
and the false are more fully divided. The temptation will be for
many to save yourself or to fix things out of your own wisdom. Stand
still, and move only when I speak to you to. For My dealings with
men, are not as you would understand and I will be seen in the
shakings that will increase and intensify. But you will know Me in
them, and reveal Me through them. Men will not have answers or
redemptive solutions to the affairs of men and nations in the days
ahead. I AM the answer."
"Tell My People who are struggling: Be at peace, and fear not. All
must be brought forth. Men will reap their choices and great will be
the suffering. But you must stand and as you do, you will see My
Hand as it passes over the lands. You will be My Vessels that I will
reveal Myself through. My Justice will be meted and I will send you
all over the earth. I have many vessels prepared for this hour, and
much left to accomplish through you. Remain in Me."

Pressed Beyond Measure
We have been coming out of a season of being pressed beyond measure
and of being utterly broken and forsaken. But all is not as it
seems, and the Lord’s People are not without help or without the
victory in sight.
The Lord began to speak to me tonight regarding this trial by fire
that many are about to emerge from and it will result in Him to
being revealed through…..
Pressed Beyond Measure
The year has changed, and so has the clock. Few understand the
significance, but many notice the change. All is at it should be,
for the ones with eyes will see, and the ones with ears will hear,
and the ones with hearts to understand, know what I am doing. All is
in it’s order.
The press has been applied for the hour necessitates a great
breaking in order for the final cracks to be removed and the vessels
to be proven for their final purposes. My sieve has sifted and has
brought forth the finest of grains and it has removed the lingering
residue that cleaved within your souls.
Nothing is left undone, nor
passed over. I have passed over with great intentions and
applications of My Spirit upon you, for great will be the brilliance
through which I will be revealed through each one.
I have pressed you beyond measure, for so you think. But you fail to
remember that My ways are not your ways, and My dealings are not of
the order that you can understand, but all will be brought forth, as
I have purposed. There is no other course, but to be submissive
under My Weight. Even My ministrations are misunderstood, but will
be seen as righteous as they are revealed in the end.
My measurement surpasses human reasonings and abilities to
withstand. For I am eternal and without variance. Your humanity
cannot stand up under My Glory, thereby your vessels are broken and
weighed, and brought under the purity of My passing. Do not fear Me,
but know that I am bringing you beyond your humanity and into My
supernatural position and portion for you. Unless you break through,
and become transformed, you cannot advance and stand in the days to
come.
The opposition that you have been opposed by, and broken by, is only
in proportion to your level of further rising up into Me. Great
resistance comes to those who are now breaking forth, and only those
who are broken can be brought even higher into My Purposes. The
pressing has served to remove any of your remaining persistent human
weaknesses and tendencies to self preservation. There is no self
life when you walk fully with Me, for all is forsaken if you choose
to be made into My Workmanship.
Do not judge yourself by what you see, and what you perceive is your
path ahead of you. Do not measure yourself by the things that you
battle and fail to overcome. I have ordered your path and your
growth, and each is measured out and each is also being perfected.
Place yourself squarely in My Hands and stagger not, nor doubt My
Word. For what I have said to you, I am accomplishing. It will not
be done as you have thought or by your methods.
But I will bring forth My Workmanship according to My Plans and
measurements. Man does not see what I see, or understand all that is
yet to be revealed, but it will be seen and known. Fear not. Trust
in My Voice and move as I direct you to. Take nothing for granted,
for all is soon to pass away, but My Word will sustain you, and
bring you forth. Bring forth fruit unto repentance and walk humbly
knowing that I am amongst you.
The gates of iron and brass are falling. The ancient gates have been
unhinged and are now being thrown askew before those who have
withstood the onslaught. Great is the wrath of the evil one, but
great is the Glory of the Sons. Everything will be brought low and
all will be disclosed as you continue on in Me. Take no souvenirs
but destroy all that is evil. Lay hold of nothing that is not Mine.
Take in nothing for yourself, but leave it in the place of
slaughter. What is given to the slaughter will remain there.
Gird yourself and watch, for even greater things will you see. The
battle is Mine, but the Victory is yours.
Great will be the Joy of Mine when they see what I have wrought.
