Part Three Prepare for the Awakening
– Exercise Your Faith

Part Three: Prepare to Exercise Your Faith
When receiving the first
part of what I believe Abba Father gave me for 2012-2015, (Rosh Hashanah
5773-5775/September 16, 2012-September 23, 2015) I heard the Holy Spirit say,
“PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE”. After I sent out that post I asked Him a simple
question, “How do we prepare? What do we do exactly?” This is His reply:
“Remember you
need to see and understand what you are preparing for, then you will have the
vision and the motivation for the work involved. For the hearts of the fathers
to return to the sons and the hearts of the sons to return to the fathers,
there must be repentance on both sides. As this occurs, healing will come first
to families and then to the land. Many have cried out for this healing to come
to their loved ones. Their prayers have come up as sweet incense to My nostrils
as this is My desire. The moment there is repentance, I will RUN to each who
humble themselves before Me and I will bring the oil of gladness – the Balm of
Gilead.
“Look first at
what Jesus taught in Matthew 7:24-27 and you will see that this parable teaches
for man to not only listen His words, but to do what He says. Doing what Jesus
says is the FOUNDATION needed for the Church to Awaken to the Renewal!”
“Therefore whoever
hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who
built his house on the rock:and the rain descended, the floods came, and the
winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on
the rock.
“But everyone who
hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man
who built his house on the sand:and the rain descended, the floods came, and
the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
“Both men HEAR
the sayings, the teachings of Jesus, but one does what He says and the
other doesn’t. This is the simple, but very profound difference between
the wise and the foolish. Think about the five wise and the five foolish
virgins. Were not all ten virgins? Were they not all watching and
waiting for the Lord to open the door to them? Did not the foolish virgins call
Him “Lord” as did the wise? The difference is the foolish ones operated
in the sin of presumption. They believed they would not have to INVEST
their time, energy, or resources to obtain extra oil. They assumed they
wouldn’t need it, but the Lord tarried. While they were away trying to find oil
to buy the Lord came and it was too late – the door was closed to them. The oil
must be acquired before the Awakening!” (See Matthew 25:1-13)
“Another example
of this would be those who prophesy, cast out demons and perform miracles in My
name, yet I do not know them. The presumed to invoke My name but for their
purpose, not Mine. I call them lawless as they do not do these things under My
authority. They are builders of their own kingdoms and their kingdoms will fall.”
(See Matthew 7:21-23)
“Do you remember
the woman who poured oil on Jesus’ head and feet – she anointed His body for
burial? That was done at great cost to her and she even endured ridicule for
her gift, but she invested in the Messiah as He had invested in her. Her story
is told wherever the Gospel is preached.” (See Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; Luke 7:36-50; John 12:1-8)
Then the Lord gave me a number of Scriptures to put into practice like never before in order to PREPARE for the Awakening. These passages will exercise, strengthen and shore up our faith muscles. They came like rapid fire from a machine gun! Do you recall that Paul taught us that the weapons of our warfare are not natural, in the spirit they are mighty in the pulling down of strongholds. Hallelujah! (See 2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
As we put the word of God into
PRACTISE we will not be foolish but wise builders. We will not be presumptuous,
but full of the invested oil of God. There are many more Scriptures like them,
so I urge you to study and research them out! I have tried to keep the
references short, but I do recommend reading the chapters – especially the ones
included in the link provided below. Do the will of your Father and put them
into practice as the “Awakening to the Renewal” is not long from now and we
must be ready! People in the world must be able to recognize us as the Church –
as the Body of Christ! If they don’t, where will they go – to whom will they
turn to for help? How will our Father feel about our lack of preparedness if we
ignore His instruction? It is His word that strengths us!
Invest in the oil:

·
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving

the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in
prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Romans
12:10-13

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an
opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5:13

And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to
all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the
calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with
longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:1-3
·
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies,
kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and
forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as
Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put
on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your
hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians
3:12-15

Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4

“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly,
I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My
brethren, you did it to Me.’” Matthew 25:40
·
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day
of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be
put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:30-32
·
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you.But if you do not forgive men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15
These are but a few
Scriptures, but they are mighty tools and weapons of the kingdom to be put into
practice. Love is the more excellent way! I pray you are blessed in the
Father’s love as you prepare like never before!
