By THE SPIRIT it is written in Hebrews chapter 6:
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,
12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
There has been much speculation about the fall Feast days this year, especially due to the alignment of the planets relating to Revelation chapter 12. There have been many predictions over the years of this event and we must not be moved if FATHER does not do anything special this year. Some of us were around and aware of the expected “return of Christ” in 1988, 1993, 1996, 1999, 2000, etc. As we mature we are less moved by dates as we go about pursuing our calling and closer relationship with FATHER. Would I like for a major event to happen this year? Absolutely! Will it change my relationship with FATHER if nothing happens? No.
In 1996, there were people who relied heavily on a “prophet’s” teaching and sold their house along with other preparations as the prophetic date approached. Nothing happened yet they suffered due to their reliance on the prophet’s teaching. This is precisely why I urge people to seek FATHER’S Voice rather than relying solely on the various ministries who claim to have revelation concerning end times.
If nothing happens, don’t become sluggish but continue on in faith and patience so that you will inherit the promises. Any apparent delay allows us to become even more mature and minister to more people on behalf of the Kingdom. Our lights will continue to grow brighter which in turn will attract more people to the Gospel. After all, that is the Great Commission Jesus spoke of in the Gospels so why cut it short?
Love is not in a hurry to depart from an opportunity to express itself so we must let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. As FATHER brings forth HIS Plan, we should rest IN HIM and be content no matter what state the world is in. In Isaiah chapter 55 FATHER spoke:
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
We must keep this particular passage in mind when we are exposed to “prophetic” dates so that we are not moved when nothing happens on those dates. FATHER has had me do many things in the past that had no apparent rhyme or reason but after the fact I could see the Wisdom in taking those actions. As we rely on HIM and HIS Word, we are no longer moved by dates, signs, or cycles. Don’t get me wrong, we are to be aware of those dates, signs, and cycles but we must ask FATHER if they are relevant to us and our individual callings. HE once told me “All signs are from me but not all signs are relevant to you, I will tell you which signs are.”
We should keep ourselves in a constant state of readiness by maintaining our relationship and communication with FATHER. Be assured that HE will alert us when HE is about to do something affecting our lives because HE wants all of us to inherit the promises.
