The Triumph of Your Faith Brings Me Joy (Jesus),6-12-15
From heartdweller.org
At the beginning of my day, in my zeal and naiveté I made an attempt to share the Rapture with a couple I encountered that were nominal Christians. I told them that the Lord was coming very soon and we weren't going to be here much longer. They looked at me like I had just grown a tail.
I mistakenly mentioned a few more things like Jade Helm, which again they were clueless about. I thought to myself, ‘Here this is starting in a few days and they know nothing?’ And even worse they look at me as though I had grown another tail, I could actually see and feel them looking at me , wondering where the second tail was going to emerge! While they skillfully steered the conversation back to their 'reality' and moved on to the next thing in their busy schedule …
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel threatened. I could feel the devils jumping all over me, "See there, you're SO deceived, they think you are crazy, a religious fanatic! You really blew it this time...”
Have you ever felt really stupid...walked away from someone you had a certain degree of respect for and beat yourself non-stop for a good two hours because you shared prophecy? "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! What an idiot. What an idiot!!!" I continued to chide myself, "Look at this beautiful summer day, everything is blooming, birds are singing, bees are buzzing, clouds are towering against the blue sky, everyone has gas in their tank and food in their bellies. It's so peaceful, how could anything this horrible really happen to America overnight?? I must be deceived; I just don't see how things couldchange so radically. I must be crazy...it's only a matter of time before I'm going to find out how deceived I am ! Wow...will I be humiliated...or maybe even need psychiatric care."
And then , of course, your sanity and reality set in again. And you fight off the lying voices full of condemnation that you really are a religious idiot, saying, "It's my duty to tell them, they need to know what's coming. At least I won't be responsible for their ignorance. They won't say, ‘Why didn't that Christian warn us , she knew about it?’ And the Lord won't say, ‘I sent you to them, why did you keep silent?’
Well, that's how my day began, and after I left their company, I felt like I was walking down a corridor of ranting demons on my right and left who were all in my face shouting, “I diot, fool, fanatic, deceived, gullible, insane, mentally unstable, lunatic-you're crazy!” And on and on and on...It took me a visit with two solid Christians, plus three hours of sleep, to get back into reality. And please, dear family-don'task me why I am so weak. Please? Haven't I told you enough times that the Lord looked for someone more pitiful than me and couldn't find them, so that's why I'm doing these YouTubes? How many times have I told you that?? So,don't write me and say, "HOW could you be such a coward!!??”
Just in case you didn't just hear me, the answer is, "Easy. I am one, that's my nature without grace."
So in short, that's what my day was like before I finally made it into worship. With that as my background, I was amazed when I asked the Lord what He wanted to tell us. "Your love for Me. The triumph of your love for Me and how you have weathered all scorn and contempt and loved Me beyond all reasoning. How you have put men in their place -under your feet-and kept your focus on the higher things, on Me and My Faithfulness.
"You could never fully comprehend the immense treasure that kind of love is to Me. When you refuse to reason with doubts, when you come running to Me because you have felt threatened and tuck into the shadow of My wings-what a thrill touches My being, because My little creation has defended Me to man.
"I know, I see, I hear the struggles all My Brides have with their sanity Every generation up to this one has had the very same struggles to overcome and they brought joy to My heart as well. But this generation is the most magnificent in faith,because the opposition is more advanced and powerful than it has ever been. This is the critical generation, the one to witness My coming and the one to witness the most ferocious attacks of the enemy in all dimensions. From beheadings, to powerful nightmares, to doubts about your sanity, these are all the tactics of the enemy on My People and a force to be reckoned with. And those of you who have run to Me seeking the shelter of Truth, I have bathed in My forgiveness and strengthened in authority to proclaim the truth boldly.
"Many of you have witnessed the alienation of your family, and your loved ones have fallen out of step with you and called you deceived. Many have been bashed and criticized for such foolish beliefs as the Rapture. Many have lost jobs and spouses because of your so-called 'delusions' which people want nothing to do with.
"And what makes me proudest of all is the way you handle your own thinking in the midst of the assault. First you reject the lies, even though you are sometimes shaken. Then you consult your heart, here you have hidden My promises to you away securely. Then you run to Me for strength and forgiveness for even being frightened by their lie s for a second. And some of you say, ‘No matter, though He should kill me, still will I love Him.’ You even reason, ‘Whatever He does, He has a good reason for doing.’I have beheld the most forceful attacks against your faith and have applauded you as you resisted until there was a breakthrough and peace was restored. I have also seen the way you have refused to hold bitterness against your enemies -youhave forgiven and prayed for them.
"Yes, I have much to rejoice over. Much to proclaim the victory over...victory over her flesh and the devil's insinuations, only to run back to Me for comfort and strength, with only forgiveness for her enemies.
"How proud I will be to lift you up into My arms and proclaim to the world, you are indeed conquerors and overcomers, My Brides, My Beloved Ones. Continue to stand strong! Hope will not disappoint-soon you will stand in Glory beside Me, victorious as you enter Eternity.”
