JOSHUA IS PLUCKED FROM THE FIRE

HEARD 2/26/05: It's OK, My dear Joshua. See, that I have set before you this day. Life and death. Choose life. My banner is lifted. Choose My banner. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

POEM: JOSHUA MY CHOSEN 2/12/03

Joshua stands before those who walk with Me,

Slimed and soiled from demonic activity.

The enemy accuses both day and night,

Heaping garbage and filth into the light.

My chosen faced the fire of hells furied flames,

Dark fingers pointing and casting the blame.

Not a word did he speak in his own defense,

Embracing his failures with deep repentance.

Is this not My brand plucked from the fire,

Burning from coals of his deepest desires?

It never was about his own performance,

Casting shadows and a mixture of nuance.

Naked and stripped of all that was flesh,

His heart and soul having been threshed.

It is the Lord Your God that pounds His gavel.

No more shame, he's beginning to unravel.

Wash him off with the blood of My Son,

Poured out for him in great victory won.

Stand him in garments of linen white.

Let nothing soil and let nothing blight.

He's washed and pure, with forgiveness complete,

Standing among men with great counsel of seat.

Signs and wonders from ruling thrones above,

These My holy ones, walk with My dove.

Take your place Joshua, and keep My charge.

Walk in My Presence with authority enlarged.

Receive the jewel that was promised you,

Rare and treasured among only a few.

Seven eyes pierce the mantle on our shoulders,

My Spirit rests upon you, witnessed by elders.

Wisdom and counsel, understanding from light,

Knowledge is given and My Spirit of might.

You have learned to walk in the fear of Your Lord,

Knowing the stripes and bruises of Whom you adore.

Let no man touch thee lest he die from the fear,

Of opposing My holy one who walks with Me near.

Now walk worthy of what has been given to you,

The power of might and wisdom too.

Your counsel will be sought by many, undeserved.

Your feet will take you to whom I would serve.

For you shall not judge by what you see,

But only from what you hear and see from Me.

I AM the righteous Who defends the poor,

Granting justice for the meek whose hearts are torn.

Declare My Word with the sword from your lips,

Bloody from the pain of a heart once ripped.

Slay the demonic rebels who defy My voice,

Having clearly denied and making their choice.

Those demons do cower at what you speak,

They tremble hearing secrets from what is leaked.

Righteousness and faithfulness wrap your waist.

The honey flows, pouring from what you taste.

Dear Joshua, My son, My beloved.

The one whom I have given My covenant.

Obey My Word and walk with Me,

Into your inheritance, your destiny.

Zech 3:1-5 NKJV

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes." And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the LORD stood by.

FUN CONFIRMATION: I found out a month after the Lord gave me the above poem about Joshua, that He also gave one to Anna 10 years earlier!

ANNA POEM 3/2/95: SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD TO BE SENT TO EARTH

HEARD:

The day will come, a day most high,

When all God's saints will laugh or cry.

When the seven spirits of God are sent to the earth,

At the midnight hour to bring new birth.

All things are placed into their hands of love,

They have obediently followed the Holy Dove.

They are My brand plucked from the fire,

No longer caught in the earth's quagmire.

Clean clothing and a mitre do they wear,

No fuller's brightness can compare.

The Morning Star with its glory bright,

Shines forth from them with profound delight.

A place for them on either side of the throne,

Has been reserved for them alone.

The Lord Our Righteousness is His name.

They have received His glory, and are the same.

One with Christ they have become.

The everlasting kingdom is where they are from.

Their obedience has been fulfilled,

Now is the time the enemy is stilled.

The day of vengeance of their God is here,

The time for the wrath of the Lamb to appear.

Nothing unclean will be left to defile.

Nothing is left, not even guile.

God's Kingdom will shine with glory bright.

The Lamb, He is the Light.

All the tears will be wiped away,

A time of new beginnings, a new day.

NKJ Jeremiah 23:5-5

"Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

WORD TO PONDER: JOSHUA IS STRIPPED 2/12/03

A season has come when the sons of high calling, whose garments have become stained in sin and filth, shall go through a stripping. It speaks of when the high priest was stripped naked and washed before the other priests, prior to being endued with his garments for service. (Exo 29: 4-9) Dear ones, this is not just a public exposure of private sin, but it is an authentic experience of a transparent manifestation of what has been dwelling in the darkness. The stripping of carnal disobedience and addictions is a painful and humiliating process until there is a desperation to be set free through the truth made known.

There is only one way to be washed clean and set free from the addictions of the sins of the body: confession. As My sons confess their sins before trusted ones in prayer, they shall be washed clean through their tears of a broken and contrite heart. Their tears of brokenness shall water the hardened ground of their souls and tares, for the sins of many generations shall be uprooted in their lives. They shall walk away clean, free and delivered from addictions that could not be broken any other way. A broken and contrite heart, I the Lord, will not despise.

Zech 3:1-5 NKJV
