UNDERSTANDING THE DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE LUKEWARM AND THE REMNANT 6/05/12

 

DOCUMENTARY:  BLIND SIGHT 2006

 

PARABLE:  Tonight I watched a true story of when a group of blind Tibetan youth climbed the Himalayas.  Each one had their own guide to help them and it was a story of their challenges and limitations.  They did not make the summit of the Mt that they were aspiring to, but they did reach base camp which was 21,000 feet which was a major accomplishment.  At that level if the body does not get enough oxygen, it can start to suffer edema, and a person can die within hours if they do not go down to lower levels. 

 

There came a point in the documentary that I realized the Lord was speaking to me and answering my prayers.  I had been praying about and pondering all day (and throughout the month of May) the upcoming inevitable division and painful wrenching between the bride remnant and the lukewarm believers who are blind.

 

The children had all started out together and they were singing songs and walking together in a line, they were chipper and happy.  The point came in day 2 or 3 when one of the guides said that the gap between the stronger ones and those who were more frail was starting to become really obvious.  The stronger ones who were able to overcome the difficult conditions were much farther ahead and the frailer ones were falling behind. 

 

As an intercessor I have been bridging that spiritual gap for many years and so this really impacted me strongly.  I suddenly saw that this story was about the very prayer I had been agonizing over throughout May.  I’d had a long discussion about it with Wayne today and prayed and pondered the problem asking the Lord to understand His point of view in this inevitable split. 

 

The coaches decided to go ahead and finish that day’s climb to base camp, and they decided they would take the 3 who were struggling back down the next morning and carry them on the yacks if necessary.  They were showing signs of oxygen deprivation.  This totally devastated them to have to go back down.  They were very sad and were willing to physically suffer and continue on. 

 

There was a blind women who accompanied the youth and she was a bridge between the guides as an advocate for the children.  She helped the guides to see that they were totally goal oriented to reach the summit but the children had different needs for the trip.  They were learning they could do something they never thought they could do, they learned confidence and courage and tenacity to overcome, but most important to them were the friendships they were experiencing.  She said that the actual trip of walking all day long, eating, then sleeping was totally boring to them.  She explained that for a blind person, they live in their imaginations and hearts by experiencing life on a different level of their senses.  Due to the goals of reaching the summit, they were not allowed to experience their senses, rather just blindly trudge uphill.  What mattered most to them each day was the level of fellowship they had with the other children.  She felt that they needed to stay together as a group and all go down together as a group. 

 

The guides listened and decided they would all go down the next day.  After having rested for the night, before their descent, the children played in the ice and snow and experienced the environment with their senses and imaginations.  It was very precious to watch them come life and enjoy this play time.  The documentary did a follow up on the children and it was very precious to see how they had gone on with their dreams and much of their life had improved for having gone on the trip. 

 

REVELATION:  As I prayed over the impact this story had on me as an intercessor bridging the gap between the 2 groups, I could clearly see that the bride remnant of believers ARE goal oriented. They have the passion and gift to keep climbing up to the top, because they have one passion to reach God and receive all His promises and His fullness.  The mere fact they are there climbing is a testimony to the grace and strength the Lord has given them to climb, no matter what.  And they are overcoming every obstacle, no matter how tempting it is to turn back and quit.  They are fulfilling their destiny to say yes to Him.

 

On the other hand I could see that the blind, lukewarm Christians do not have the same goals or tenacity inside of them.  Their faith and relationship in God is for different goals and needs in getting through this life.  They have not been equipped to make the fullness of the climb because their objectives, motives and perspectives are different and thus they haven’t been prepared to make it to the top in the season allowed for such.  They simply don’t have the grace, gifts, strength, tenacity, drive or hunger to climb any higher.  Now there comes a crossroads in their climb, that if they were to continue in the same lifestyle and faith, they would be in great danger and the Lord is the One calling a stop and a line of demarcation.  It is due to His love that He does this for their safety

 

RESOLUTION:  For me personally, being an intercessor to keep both companies of people together, I can now see the need for the demarcation line, as I have never seen this perspective before.  To hold back the remnant of overcomers, is to put them into the throngs of increased delay and hope deferred, after more than 40 years delay in the wilderness. 

 

To expect the lukewarmers to keep up, is dangerous due to their level of faith, lifestyles and obedience to His Word.  We have crossed over into a new era where the Kingdom of God is being ushered into the earth.  In the earth it means increasing levels of shaking in order to dismantle the kingdoms of this world.  Those who did not overcome will be given another chance to overcome as the shakings increase.  However the forerunner remnant of overcomers is desperately needed to be able to minister supernatural light and help to those who are underneath the storm.  These overcomers will be the fathers who will help those come into the image of Jesus.  They were ordained for this and the dividing line is necessary to release them to go up so that they may help!

 

RHEMA 6/14/00  CLIMBING STRAIGHT UP

 

VISION: Sometime in the mid 80’s I had a vision of the Lord’s mountain. It was dark outside and I saw many car headlights headed up the mountain. Most of the lights were on the bottom one third of the mountain. There were some in the middle section of the mountain and very few on the top. The mountain was really pretty with spotlights aiming up its face.  When I saw this I had the instant impartation that this was the Psalms 24 mountain, and the headlights represented the body of Christ and where they were in their journey for their King of glory.

 

I understood the 3 divisions of groups on the mt were the 30 fold, 60 fold and the 100 fold Christians representing those who dwell in the outer court, inner court and holy of holies.  The spotlights were light their passion and desire for Him.

 

VISION: I saw a rock climber trying to climb straight up a cliff.

 

HEARD: Lord help us!

 

WARNING CONFIRMATION: Right after I heard and saw this, I turned on the tape and Bobby Conner was speaking about ascending the hill of the Lord. He was saying that we cannot do it in the power of our own flesh. In our climb up His holy hill, the Lord is stern in wanting us to leave the power and pursuits of our flesh and the building of our own agendas. He wants nothing less than the holy image of His Son and for us to take on HIS agenda. Bobby saw a pile of carnage as people failed the climb because they were trying to do it in their own strength and were not climbing in the Spirit.

 

Bobby spoke of the things that inhibit our climb. [Bobby Quote]: "We can't joke it off, or mesmerize ourselves on TV. There's a peg in the holy place and we can't get rid of it. You know I am telling you the truth. We are going to see the wind change. (!!!!) We're going to soar, but we will get killed soaring in the flesh. If you soar through that 2nd heaven with a polluted life, you won't get out of there. We have got start handling the things of God with holy hands."

 

Ps 24:3-10 NLT

Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. They will receive the LORD's blessing and have right standing with God their savior. They alone may enter God's presence and worship the God of Israel. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, invincible in battle. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The LORD Almighty-- he is the King of glory.

 

GRANDMA ANNA RHEMA

VISION: [I was sitting in the family room when I went into a trance.] I was climbing up a shaft very laboriously by way of my elbows. At the top I could see a brilliant light. Suddenly I knew that if I reached the top and walked into the light I would disappear. While still pondering the ramifications of that, I saw myself still climbing. I pulled myself over the edge with great effort. I stood up and walked without hesitation into the light. Then I heard the Lord say, "Colossians 3:3." I went to that verse and was shocked as to what it said: "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." (Col 3:3 KJV)

 

WORD TO PONDER: THE HILL OF THE LORD 6/14/00 

This is the generation whose lights will burn brightly. Together, as they climb My holy hill, their fervency will shine brighter and brighter. See My holy hill illuminate in the darkness! United, these flaming hearts make the hill of the Lord become a beacon to all the world.

 

Come unto Me all who have hungry hearts. Seek Me with all your heart. Climb My holy hill and indeed, you shall see My face. Love Me with all your mind, your will, your heart, your strength. With everything in you, climb to Me. Higher and higher, persistently and tenaciously one foot in front of the other, climb My hill.

 

You will learn the great secret as you climb. The higher you come into My Presence, the weaker your own independence and personal strength will be. You will find there is no life outside of total clinging to Me. Dear ones, the tenacity of your clinging and your perseverance will be rewarded. If you seek Me, you will indeed find Me. Your king of glory shall in deed come in.

 

"Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." (Psalm 24: 3-7)

 

WORD TO PONDER:  LET GO AND GO GET HELP 6/04/12

I understand that you have chosen to wait for your loved ones to “get it” and come into alignment with My Word and ways.  I have heard your groanings and prayers regarding these issues.  I understand your pain, sorrow and weight of so many years and the hope deferred you have suffered in your wait.

 

Dear overcomers, I AM calling you to place these loved ones into My arms and let Me rescue them.  Find the resolution to your own life in Me, and forsake all the weights that load your focus and soul down from getting to your goal.  I need you dear ones.  As you find your place in Me, I will in turn release you to send help to those you love.  At this late date, they are not equipped to climb higher and if you wait for them, your focus will stay there and remain.  If you choose to move on, you can be used in a different way to reach them through the power and authority of My anointing. 

 

Consider those who are lost in the wilderness.  Will you stay with them until you all die?  Or will you leave them in My care and go get help?  That is the crossroads the decision of where you are today.

 

Deut 1:6-8 NKJV

The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: 'You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. 7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates. 8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers — to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — to give to them and their descendants after them.'
