There is nothing I love doing more than spending time with God. His loving Presence always greets me when I snuggle away in my secret place with Him. It is in these times that I seek Him, just because I love Him, that I receive such wonderful insights into His will. Today as I awoke early to meet with Jesus, I pondered with Him about this month’s Fresh Bread article. What would He have me serve you this month? I was guided to a couple of recent journal entries. And so, I share with you what I believe has come from the Lord for all of us for this season.
This one is dated August 18th: “There is much more of Me I want you to know and to enjoy. Keep coming to this quiet place in Me, resting and trusting me to meet with you here. Watch and wait. Trust and have faith. There will be a great unfolding of all I have spoken to you and to others. The days of the fulfilling of prophetic words over individuals, communities, and whole nations are coming to fulfillment. Call for them to stand and be numbered with the believers in these days. Call for the prophetic words to live and to be fulfilled as I know they are to be fulfilled.” With this word I also had a picture impression. It was as if a great army of believers were gathering together, each taking his/her position. Then it seemed that the prophetic words began to stand up and take form as bodies. These bodies then came and stood with the believers. It seemed as if they were also getting into position. Since then I have been calling for the prophetic words spoken over all of us to stand up and be fulfilled!
On August 26th soaking in His Presence at the Women of the Light team meeting in Buckhannon, WV the Lord spoke these words to me. I believe they were not just for the team but for you also.
“Peace I give to you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, not false temporary peace, but a lasting and a strong peace that will sustain each of you when the storms of life come to batter down your doors. Rest in Me and I will keep you standing. I will keep you from being moved away from Me and away from all the safety and provision that is in me. There are storms coming. Some have been predicted-forecasted as it were in the natural-but also, in the spirit, there are storm clouds gathering. However, I have already provided a place of safety and secure shelter in Me.
Fear not the sudden rise of storms. Fear not destruction when you see it happening around you. Stand in the place of peace and rest in Me and I will show you what to do in every situation. Have I not spoken that there are yet many seasons of change coming? Many carry many blessings to those whose faces are turned upward as ones being refreshed by a summer rain. But many will find themselves in a place of needing to choose whom they will serve…God or Mammon.
• Call for my warriors, my saints who stand clothed in my armor ready and willing to do battle.
• Call up my intercessors. Let those who have been asleep awaken again and stand before me in the gap
• Call up the worshipers and the praisers, and call forth the new song, call it to spring forth.
• Call up the little children who, because of innocence, can come before Me in purity and touch My heart of compassion for their generation and the ones yet to come.
• Call even for the wounded and the weary to report to duty: To take their places to be able to stand with others against the storms that are coming. It is going to take a united army of hand chosen privates, sergeants, captains, and generals to stand in the season to come!
*Call for unity in my ranks
*Call for purity
*Call for hearts of compassion. My love will drive out all fear.
You will not be shaken off your place of peace in Me if you continue to abide in Me and in My Word and allow My words to abide in you!”
I take these words seriously and have started the “Calling Forth”! For many months I have had the words “Divine Positioning” rolling around in my spirit. Now I am beginning to understand more clearly. It is time for everything and everyone to get into position to hear the call of the Father. It is time to recognize what He is saying and doing, and to get ready to be carriers of His love, His presence, His glory and His Power to the nations….one person at a time or whole nations at a time…..why not? The clock is ticking. Fear not. Begin to “call forth” and be willing to be CALLED into your place of destiny in Jesus!
Enjoy His Presence, Marie Smith |
