Radical, Raging, Furious Faith
The following word came this past Sunday, June 6, during worship.
We are living in extreme times. Times that are showing both the fallacy of religion and the power of faith. What I mean is that we have believed that if we held to the right doctrines and followed the right religion all things would work out. But, that has not, and cannot work. Our nation is shaking mightily and no amount of religious rhetoric, or doctrinal and denominational affiliation will bring about change. No amount of political or social activism will save the land.
It all comes down to faith. FAITH! And, so this word came.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:1-2)
I am hearing the Lord say: “Now is the time to let go completely. Do not hold on to anything, do not hold back in anyway. For, I AM calling forth SONS OF RADICAL, RAGING, FURIOUS FAITH. I AM calling forth Spirit-full, Truth-full WORSHIPERS. I AM revealing, in this hour, My Sons who will not allow any circumstance of life, or opposition of man to prevent My Will from being done in this land.”
The Lord says, “If you will truly yield your life to Me; if you will seek Me alone rejecting the pattern of this world to embrace the PATTERN OF HEAVEN, and throw yourself into the All Consuming Fire; then, you will experience in this very hour MY KINGDOM COME, and you will experience in this very day MY WILL BEING DONE. For, it is in the All Consuming Fire that My authority and power are released. It is in the Fire that all the old ways are consumed, and you are purified and adorned with Glory Garments of Praise.”
As I am listening to the Lord here, I am seeing these ‘glory garments’. They are of a fabric woven with gold and silver threads, and are the colors of the rainbow. The colors flash and radiate outward with the slightest movement. It is INTENSE, like sudden explosions of FIRE. And, there is a SOUND that eminates from within the colors. Sound unlike any other. It is like thunder and wind; but, not like one hears and feels in the natural. It is like the sound of a shofar, or war-horn, issuing forth from the deep caverns of the spirit within.
And, I hear the Lord say, “PRAISE! This is the fabric of your garments, and the weapon of warfare I place in your hands. This Praise is not what you think it is, or what you have offered up before. It is not merely that of the well-crafted songs by skilled musicians, or an exclamation of joy from your lips.”
“This Praise is My Word planted deep within your heart, rising up and coming forth in your humble obedience. It is My Word becoming flesh and DWELLING AMONG MEN.”
“This Praise is My Word healing the sick, binding up the wounds of the broken hearted, setting the captives free, restoring sight to those long held in blindness, and lifting the burdens off the backs of My people.”
“This Praise is the very SOUND OF HEAVEN, the sound of healing, the sound of life.”
And, I hear the Lord say, “These are the days of action. These are the days of War! These are the days of My Sons revealed to DO MY WORKS: to tear down, uproot, destroy every work of the enemy; and, to build and plant My Kingdom in every place they set their feet.”
“Therefore, My Beloved, rise up NOW! Press into Me. Take hold of Me as I AM taking hold of you. There is nothing we cannot, will not, do together that will fail.”
“Test Me in this,” says the Lord. “And, you will truly taste and SEE My Goodness. We walk together in VICTORY! Fear not, all is well.”
