Part 2 of 2014 Scribed by Robin Kirby-Gatto The Year of the Manifestation of the Tongue! God says that there will be great emphasis on the “tongue” this year. He is showing me that we are all in a preparation process as we cross over into this year beginning with a fast not only of our stomach but also our mouth. In Greek the root word for stomach is stoma and it means “mouth.” Therefore, God says that we are to be fasting both the mouth in our body and the mouth on our face as led by the Holy Spirit. There is great grace is in this hour for those who desire a greater purging of God’s Word in their vessel by the Baptism of Fire and the Holy Spirit to those that yield. God says that He will be coming forth with the Sword of His Spirit as in the days of Joshua to bring forth a deep cutting of that which is profane and remove it from our soul and to heal us! God is bringing a greater understanding of the circumcision of the heart at Gilgal and you will see the remnant rise up in a holiness as not seen in our lifetime as He is causing a generation that has clean hands and a pure heart to seek Him in this hour for this is the generation He has chosen. 1 When all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until we had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no spirit in them any more because of the Israelites. 2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make knives of flint and circumcise the [new generation of] Israelites as before. 3 So Joshua made knives of flint and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth. 4 And this is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they came out of Egypt. 5 Though all the people who came out were circumcised, yet all the people who were born in the wilderness on the way after Israel came out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6 For the Israelites walked forty years in the wilderness till all who were men of war who came out of Egypt perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the Lord; to them the Lord swore that He would not let them see the land which the Lord swore to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 So it was their uncircumcised children whom He raised up in their stead whom Joshua circumcised, because the rite had not been performed on the way. 8 WHEN THEY FINISHED CIRCUMCISING ALL THE MALES OF THE NATION, THEY REMAINED IN THEIR PLACES IN THE CAMP TILL THEY WERE HEALED. Joshua 5:1-8 Amp. God is emphasizing healing of the soul in this hour and has said that those that will be mighty in His Camp are those that are healed of wounds in their soul for there are many in the Church that have unhealed wounds. As a result of unhealed wounds there is much backbiting, slander, gossip and abhorrent things that are occurring from the mouths of people in the Church where they are murdering one another with their mouths and this God will not tolerate. There has been great mercy in the past for the church as it relates to her mouth but in this hour judgment has come and He is not restraining His judgment on those who tear down others with their tongue. In this process of sanctifying our tongue we will be like Joshua and Caleb who only gave a report of the Lord and that report will bring victory for a nation. God says that He is raising Leaders that have been formed and fashioned in the difficult place of the wilderness, being tested and tried even as John the Baptist, David and Joseph to have a tongue only of the Living God to give the report of the Lord. God says there will be a greater dispensation of authority in this hour for those that have yielded their tongue to Him and you will see the increase of His Government and His peace as these will be those who will be like the Apostles in Acts who turned the world upside down. God says that with His true remnant that even the lost will begin calling and bidding for His people’s time and counsel and many will come out of darkness and into God’s marvelous light. The Lord says He is raising up an army as in the days of Joshua to do spiritual warfare that will melt the heart of the enemy, causing the powers of darkness to tremble. He is reminding me of the manifestation of some demons that have occurred as I have gone throughout my day when the Word in Power was spoken how their faces were made known and the shrieking sounds they made as they shrunk back in fear. Moreover, there has been an occasion where the hordes of hell trembled at a worship that would shake the foundations of the earth in dance, a radical dance of victory for God’s people and you will see a holy worship dance of warfare that will send the enemy fleeing; God trains our hands to war! God is truly preparing us for the upcoming generation of Psalm24, a generation that is a warrior generation that has been purged and refined both in their heart and on their lips, having clean hands and a pure heart. This will be the generation raising up in 2014 in greater measure as though they are a horse leaping like a locust out of a starting gate and will be taking off into the new year with increased speed/velocity into the Call of Christ Jesus on the Highway of Holiness where they seek the Lord that He may be found to them and to others. 1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the currents and the rivers. 3 Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause, and think of that]! 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; yes, lift them up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]! Psalm 24:1-10 Amp As God mentioned in Part 1 of this prophetic word that there would be a great attack of the enemy as had not been seen in decades this army of the Lord God of Psalm 24:3-6 will be a generation that seeks His face and finds the KING OF GLORY THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY AND BATTLE and oh the favor of God upon them will be evident and their mantle of righteousness will be seen by all even the hordes of hell will see this mantle of the Lord of Righteousness upon them and tremble for the authority will be mighty, it will be great! These will be as God’s Warhorse that are Great and mighty in Battle and enjoy the sound of the war trumpet. They will be fearless and mock at fear for they are filled with God’s Divine Love! 19 Have you given the horse his might? Have you clothed his neck with quivering and a shaking mane? 20 Was it you [Job] who made him to leap like a locust? The majesty of his [snorting] nostrils is terrible. 21 He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons [of armed men]. 22 He mocks at fear and is not dismayed or terrified; neither does he turn back [in battle] from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles upon him, as do the glittering spear and the lance [of his rider]. 24 [He seems in running to] devour the ground with fierceness and rage; neither can he stand still at the sound of the [war] trumpet. 25 As often as the trumpet sounds he says, Ha, ha! And he smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Job 39:19-25 Amp. This is a year of God’s Greatness as in 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 and you will see those whom He is making great for they will be released with a Psalm 92:10 fresh anointing a new anointing for the Call in this hour as they come up out of the wilderness leaning on their beloved where they are birthed with the Strength and Massiveness of GOD!!!!!! They will be carriers of the Ark of Elohim and see the massiveness that God has intended to be released in this time. 11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name and those attributes which that name denotes. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 Many will come out of the hidden place and overnight it will seem as though a ministry of the gospel was born but you will not see the person but rather they will be so refined they will be transparent and what you will see is JESUS IN THE PERSON! These are Romans 9:23 vessels set for honorable use by the Lord, vessels of His mercy created for His Glory! This is a year of Glory and a year of the His open door as in Revelation 3:7-12 and you will know those favored of the Lord because the door will be wide open for His glory as in Psalm 24 to join in the battle with the King of Glory to invade the darkness with the Nail, Vav- in Hebrew with man; Vav is the 6th letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet and is the ancient symbol of a nail, meaning to add and secure. As Yeshua (Jesus) took the nail for us to add and secure us to the Father you will see those that have drink of the fellowship of His sufferings, the cup of affliction rise up in this hour with greater joy, a joy of the Lord, the Oil of Gladness that will walk in the light of His glory they will a walking Word(Bible) They will be walking, talking 66 Books of Holiness unto the Lord, oh and the power they will walk in, such Word in Power. They will pierce the darkness with the Light of the Nail, Yeshua so that they can obtain the treasures of darkness bringing in many souls by the power of God’s Love. (Isaiah 45:1-3) I hear emphasis on the church being pure because she has been crying out for purity but still the tongue of so many of His leaders in the church is spewing venom and not given over the Lord. God says the measure by which you will know His leaders is by what comes out of their mouth about others. God is revealing the cold hearts in this hour of those ministers of the gospel that have had a form of godliness but denied the power of it and He will show the fruit of the tree. (Matthew 12:33) There have been many cloaked in sheep’s clothing that have been wolves and have infiltrated the church on behalf of the powers of darkness and God is bringing light to the deceit so that these ministers will have time to repent and those that are under them will no longer be deceived. He is telling me the remnant is much smaller than many think; He is truly identifying those that are His. God is saying the Divine Fast of the Lord in fasting both your stomach (mouth) and your tongue (mouth) to where you are guarded in what comes out of your mouth and His grace will be sufficient to sustain you through the fast and deliver you from all ill will that is abhorrent to Him. God is showing me that many in the body do not have a purified mouth and as the prophet Isaiah said to the Lord in Isaiah 6 that he was a man of unclean lips, of an unclean mouth among a people of unclean lips (an unclean mouth). He says that it is time for the church to get His mouth, His tongue and if they truly seek that and desire it of the Lord then they will see the power of Acts 2; they were a church that had the tongue of God. God is emphasizing James 3 that not many should be teachers and about the power of the tongue. In God’s Fire Wall Healing of the Soul Fortitude series God had me do for 4 months with 8 classes the emphasis was on the tongue and about the tongue of the enemy and the Tongue of God. God has given me dreams and showed me this power is truly coming, this authority is here in this hour for those who give their tongue over to the Lord God and repent of all dead works and idle words that have been spoken, learning to only speak the Word of the Lord. You will see an increase of corporate prayers and fasting and there will even be a decrease on gatherings that are all about blessing self and a move to meetings that are all about blessing the Lord God. God is also saying that the gifts of the Spirit will be more pronounced in the Body of Christ Jesus and seen in the streets as they go to the highways and byways to gather the lost sheep into the house of God so that His table can be full. God is emphasizing even the gift of Tongues and the interpretation of tongues that has been lost in His church will be poured out in greater measure as has been in the last seven years with the gift of prophecy. God says order is coming to His house so that the gifts will be unadulterated and holy. To be continued……………………………………….. Here is treaching (teaching and preaching) I did at a women’s meeting on one of my favorite messages God’s Warhorse! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ca3zgvLJ4 God bless you!

2014 Prophetic Word Part 1 Scribed by Robin Kirby-Gatto I hear God say that He is changing the seats of Government and where in nations, countries and states there has been rule of great darkness and the people of God have prayed that He will in 2014 bring a change to seat of Government and bring forth His Spirit, laying His hand on that office to usher in His standard so that the country, nation or state would enter into a harvest of great blessings. He says do not think it strange where the enemy seems to be overcoming His people in different nations, countries and states for He is using the arm of the government to wake up the church and He says “do you hear the alarm for the church to wake up?” God says that in this hour where it seems Government oppression has been heavy on His people and that darkness is rising know that His word is true and yes great darkness will be in this hour but the greater the darkness the greater the light!!!! (Isaiah 60) I saw an attack of the enemy being unleashed where the spirit of the Amalekite had been dormant in great measure as in a river while the church was going about their business and the enemy had been hidden in a stream of water as if they did not exist. While the church was going through what appeared to be hills and pastures I then saw the enemy wake up and where they had been hidden for a season (decades) I saw them rise up out of the water (the polluted-unholy –profane in the world) and I saw them go after the Church but God’s Word is true and the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church!! 15 He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? 16 Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:15-19 AMP I heard God say that the powers of darkness that were coming would instead of weakening the church would cause the church to rise up!! I saw that those who would come into unity as of Psalm 133, a Church of Unity, would be kept and preserved from this attack of the enemy. I saw two different things. I saw the sick (those that needed healing) being kept away in a refuge of sort, a house, the Church to be protected so that they would receive their full healing in their body and soul so that they would rise up out of the sick bed. What was so unique, it was this attack on God’s church, of this evil spirit that God said was released by the enemy to try and interfere with God’s time but would not prosper, that would cause the church to rise up in the power of His Resurrection as wrought when Christ Jesus was raised from the grave and seated at the right hand of the Father above all authority and rule not only in this age but in the age to come, that power of our inheritance, was what this attack would actually bring forth in this hour!! (Ephesians 1:17-23) We, the Church would wake up in the midst of this attack and instead we would unify as One New Man as depicted in Romans 11 and Ephesians 4 to see the forth coming of the Oil of Unity (Psalm 133) whereby God would command His blessing of life forevermore and then I saw angelic hosts released with vials of oil, anointing oil by Holy Spirit that would bring forth Healing and God said the dispensation that He was releasing was from the heavenlies by His Holy Spirit to bring forth a MOVE OF HEALING as in the days of Jesus Christ and the First Church in Acts. God said that Billy Graham, Oral Roberts and other great men and women of God have walked in a measure of this dispensation but in this next year that you will surely see for it is timed by God to be the time of GREAT HEALINGS AND THE FATHER SAYS HE IS SO PLEASED WITH THOSE PURSUING THE HEALING AND PROSPERITY OF THEIR SOUL FOR THEY WILL BE HIS MIGHTY ARMY!!! God says in March you will see great saints of God crossover into Glory and that you will know that the Spirit of Elijah has mightily come to the earth by the outpouring of His Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh) to release the increase of His Government and His Peace; He said this will be a year of Isaiah 9:7 and you will see God’s Government ushered into those areas where the saints have contended and done spiritual warfare on their knees in corporate prayer for His plans to be loosed and released as it is in Heaven and that you will see His Kingdom come in great measure in the hearts of man. God says many have been refined as gold and silver and that you have counted the cost and allowed Him to work a great work in you. He says you have been stripped even to what seems as a public display and others mocked you and scolded you in your threshing and God says He is exalting those that have been humble and humbled before the Lord God under the chastisement of His rod! God says that there will be a clear distinction in this hour and it will be depicted in the exposure as well as the “smell” He said that the stench that has been in His nostrils of the false apostles and false teachers that a stench will even be noticeable for those that have the discernment of His Word and His Spirit to know what spirit is operating in and among them that would lead them as the loose woman down the path of destruction. God says as there is great darkness in this hour you will also see a GREATER LIGHT, the Light of His Bride, the Bride that is being purified and purged of the world in this hour that is the remnant and has become as a stump prophesied in Isaiah 6:13. God said this remnant will now begin to join together as a great and mighty fortress, the Church and raise up to be a banner of Hope to the World of Christ Jesus and you will see a gathering of great harvest for it is even nearing the end of the Age and that which was prophesied of a great harvest by Jesus will start to come in as God is releasing angels with sickles to gather them into His Church! I saw God raising the Army of His Hope up as Ruth and the Army went behind the angels with sickles and merely gleaned the wheat and gathered it into the storehouse (the Church) and brought it forth by the words of Grace (Naomi-meaning grace) and I saw the lame, the blind, the sick all come into the church and then I hear again March!!!! March, March, March, March, March, that His Army will be marching in March and Oh I saw God pour out His glory across the earth and miracles, healings, deliverances from demonic spirits and the raising of the dead by Holy Spirit came forth as a flood that covered the entire earth and those nations where the remnant was that had contended and stood their ground being armored in God in the day of great danger and evil began to shout and praise the Lord as a Mighty Fortress of Praise that brought down walls in the governmental arenas and I saw others who came into the kingdom that were used and held by the powers of darkness when the praise and prayer of God went into the heavenlies and loosed the Kingdom of God in earth as it is in heaven! I saw restoration of many families that had been in discord and opposition with one another and I saw children that had not been living in the home because of the enemy’s attack to keep them away come back to the homes of their parents and I saw revival break out in the homes as rivers of living waters flooded each and every home of the remnant. (Luke 10:1-24) I saw people lined up in streets laying the sick and demon possessed on the sidewalks, on the side of the road as the saints, the church as one would do prayer walks through cities and I saw people set free, healed and delivered. I saw the saints contending for the schools and in many areas where the contending had been great God says this year His saints will see victory in those areas and the schools will be covered by the Living God and God would pour out a dispensation of His grace, His love, His mercy out on those schools and began moving in fire by Holy Spirit and His Word in those areas. God showed me again the enemy that had been hidden and awakened how those that refused to join in the unity of God as revealed in Psalm 133 and in Romans 11 and Ephesians 4 would miss the boat, which is similar to the picture of an Ark and would not be brought into this dispensation of His MOVE in the earth and He said Elohim as in Genesis 1 is coming forth by those who have the Ark of God (The Ark of Elohim) within their vessel at operation and doing the works of the Father. God said that the true Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers would rise up and release the power of God’s Spirit as resident in and upon them in equipping the saints and I saw an armory of God’s weapons as depicted in Ephesians 6 with the armor of God released to the Body of Christ Jesus and I saw her girded and standing her ground going out in the great darkness to bring the great light! God said that the cloud of great witnesses were even now in this hour watching and waiting for the GREATEST hour of the church and God says to His Church you are entering your Greatest hour to see the increase of His Government and His peace and I saw the throne of David come forth as we the saints were making His enemies His footstool and I saw the feet of God as King David, the Beloved experienced and knew well, I saw those beautiful feet coming into the earth and I saw the church bow down and worship, worship in spirit and in truth the Living God and praise Jesus for the great work He has done and was continuing to do as the Great Apostle of the Faith. God says He will undo the works of darkness that have come against your life and you will see a display of His love. He told me that in two areas specifically (two nations) you will see a great famine but the saints if they contended would see the great works in those area and the multiplication of food! In those areas where the famine was I saw the mighty signs that follow the believer with the raising of the dead and cleansing of the lepers come forth and many were made whole, set free, healed and delivered! I saw the raising of the dead where it was like Ezekiel 37 the valley of dry bones, I saw an entire area where there were many dead people and I saw them raised by the living God both in the spirit and also God says you will hear of it in the natural in this year. I saw God releasing an anointing upon His ministers of worship that have been tried in the hard place, the difficult place, with a TRUE anointing of worship in Spirit and in Truth that would be manifold in this hour with blessings, healings and deliverance!!! I saw the gift of miracles released to these ministers of worship and I saw them mantled by heaven to bring forth God’s Kingdom, I saw God’s preachers raised up with the mantle of Elijah, that spirit that would prepare the way of the Lord and bring forth the delivery of God’s message that would strike the coldest of hearts and cause them to be a heart of flesh. God is releasing a greater dispensation of Holy Spirit in the sevenfold dimension of the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Knowledge, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord and I saw the Spirit of God declare for God’s just ones, prophesied by Enoch and recorded in Jude to come forth in this hour and release His holy judgment in the earth!! 14 It was of these people, moreover, that Enoch in the seventh [generation] from Adam prophesied when he said, Behold, the Lord comes with His myriads of holy ones (ten thousands of His saints) 15 To execute judgment upon all and to convict all the impious (unholy ones) of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed [in such an] ungodly [way], and of all the severe (abusive, jarring) things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

BE NOT OVERCOME BUT OVERCOME! Scribed by Robin Kirby-Gatto 4/16/2014 Last night I ministered in the Anniston, Alabama area and as God led me to speak to them about this hour for where they were and what God was doing I am also led to share it with you. Today alone I have received many private messages and been on the phone with people who are being hit by the enemy in the lives to attack at the point of the PROMISE! Presently there is a massive attack against the minds of those in Christ Jesus because the only place in which we can be wearied and overcome is in our minds! I posted on facebook as God led me to regarding guarding your minds this week and the assault has increased as we are in the time of Passover. Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. Hebrews 12:3 Amp One thing specifically God showed me is that the enemy wants to proclaim nothing but bad news but Jesus came to bring us the GOOD NEWS!!! Yes with great glory comes great tribulation but remember Jesus endured the cross for the Joy set before Him!!! He did not endure it for the agony set before Him but the Joy set before Him! Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 Amp Would you look at this!!!!!! Because I did not plan this and God is having me go in and do keyword searches of what I am writing and presently the two keyword scriptures are both in Hebrews 12!!! What is so crazy is last night God had me reference these scriptures as I ministered Hebrews 11:1-3; Matthew 25:10, Ezekiel 37:11-13; Revelation 3:7-12 and Isaiah 22:22. The whole focus began as God had me refer to Ezekiel 37:11-13 in reference to a people group who were an exceedingly great army on their feet but still were only EXISTING!!!!!!! They were not living because their hope had been cut off!!!! When grace lifts for your present season this is how you feel. You simply feel as though what once was incredible has now become a mere existence for you, it has become a tomb because your hope has been cut off! 11 Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, OUR BONES ARE DRIED UP AND OUR HOPE IS LOST; WE ARE COMPLETELY CUT OFF. 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people; and I will bring you [back home] to the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord [your Sovereign Ruler], when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, O My people. 14 And I shall put My Spirit in you and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land. Then you shall know, understand, and realize that I the Lord have spoken it and performed it, says the Lord. Ezekiel 37:11-14 Amp God revealed to me as I was shifted from one season to another, otherwise known as ENLARGEMENT that what had become a blessing in the past in time became a tomb because it was time for me to SHIFT, to be promoted by God and I had been to the place of my hope being cut off! This is where we are now presently in the body of Christ Jesus because it is time to shift, it is time to cross over, IT IS TIME TO ENTER THE OPEN DOOR!!! God showed me that Jesus has opened a door wide open for the People of God to enter but have we perceived it?????? We perceive it as we like this great army is at the place of existing and we do not realize that we are now in a TOMB OF THE LAST SEASON!!!! WHAT ONCE WAS A WOMB OF PROMISE AND WE ENJOYED, IF WE DO NOT MOVE INTO THE NEW, THE OPEN DOOR BECOMES A TOMB!! This is what God is getting you to see there is A WOMB OF PROMISE BUT YOU HAVE TO PRECEIVE IT NO MATTER WHAT!!! That is why the attack is so heavy upon the mind because there is a stretching of our faith to enter a season of greater faith!!!!! AND WHY????? Because we have to be enlarged like a pregnant woman who brings forth a child is enlarged for the room of the promise, we are being enlarged in our faith through these trials that are testing it (1 Peter 1:6-7) in order that the branching forth of the promise within the womb of our heart be made MANIFEST!!!!! Nothing comes into existence without the Word (John 1:3)!!!!! 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. John 1:3 Amp And because all things come into existence BY THE WORD ONLY, it is our faith of that Word that is being tried!!!! This faith is get this….. TIED TO YOUR HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See this in Hebrews 11:1. Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) OF THE THINGS [WE] HOPE FOR, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Hebrews 11:1 Amp Faith is the ASSURANCE, THE TITLE DEED OF THINGS WE HOPE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, if the enemy wants to get the title deed to your destiny he goes after your hope!!!!!! Like this army in Ezekiel to where you are merely existing and do not realize that you are in a grave and need to brought out to the point of GOD’S PROMISE!!!! You need to see the manifestation of that which is inside you that you realize not is the actually THE WORD OF GOD!!!! Christ in you the Hope of Glory that brings ALL THINGS INTO EXISTANCE!!!!!! 2 For by [faith—trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:2-3 Therefore, the enemy attacks the mind to get you discouraged by lying to you at the POINT OF THE PROMISE, AT THE POINT OF YOUR HOPE!!!!!! The enemy thinks if he can weary you enough by lying to you and causing you to be wearied that you will stay like the army in Ezekiel in the placing of feeling CUT OFF!!! Glory to God, the enemy’s strategies is being exposed!!! God says the enemy is trying to make you feel CUT OFF just like here in Ezekiel with the great army! This is where our tests and trials are as with Father Abraham, as we hope against Hope!!! This stretching of Abraham’s faith was to prepare for the promise, ISACC (WHICH MEANS LAUGHTER)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you see this; that is the JOY OF THE LORD, WHICH IS OUR STRENGTH!!!! The enemy is after your Joy, Your strength and is battling you in both that and the promise of God that has been given to you! 16 Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all.17 As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed. 18 [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be. 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah’s [deadened] womb. 20 NO UNBELIEF OR DISTRUST MADE HIM WAVER (DOUBTINGLY QUESTION) CONCERNING THE PROMISE OF GOD, BUT HE GREW STRONG AND WAS EMPOWERED BY FAITH AS HE GAVE PRAISE AND GLORY TO GOD, 21 FULLY SATISFIED AND ASSURED THAT GOD WAS ABLE AND MIGHTY TO KEEP HIS WORD AND TO DO WHAT HE HAD PROMISED. 22 That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God). 23 But [the words], It was credited to him, were written not for his sake alone, 24 But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God]. Inheriting the Promise is the OUTCOME OF FAITH!!!!!! This inheritance is our Hope!!! We see this as we go back to the Ezekiel army and see their cord had been cut off, the hope of God in them had been snapped of LIFE!!!! As we see the Ezekiel army saying their hope was cut off it was only God that could cause their hope to return, when He brought them out of their graves, out of the place of merely existing and brought them into the PROMISE, INTO THEIR INHERITANCE!!!! When I have taught on Ezekiel 37 in the past with this army’s hope being cut off God would always have me refer to Ecclesiastes 12:6 [Remember your Creator earnestly now] before the silver cord [of life] is snapped apart, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern [and the whole circulatory system of the blood ceases to function]; Ecclesiastes 12:6 Amp This word for cord in Hebrew here is Chebel and means a rope, district or INHERITANCE!! (SC # 2256). It is composed of the Hebrew letters Chet, Bet and Lamed. Chet is the ancient symbol of a fence meaning separate(d) and private. Bet is the ancient symbol of a house meaning within, inside, household and family. Lamed is the ancient symbol of the cattle goad and means tongue, control and authority. Therefore, the word picture you have here is one whose house is separated from God’s authority, control and tongue, THE WORD!!!!! Do you see this because the enemy wants to make you feel CUT OFF, SEPARATED FROM THE WORD!!!!!! However, God is allowing this trial and tribulation as well as suffering temptations so that your faith with be stretched!!! The cattle goad represents stretching, as Jesus taught the disciples. The word disciples in Isaiah 54:13 is LAMED, the cattle goad. 13 And all your [spiritual] children shall be disciples [taught by the Lord and obedient to His will], and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children. Isaiah 54:13 Therefore, your faith is being stretched by the trials and tribulations for two purposes. First, to cause you to see the door that is wide open set before you by Jesus so you perceive it and ENTER, as in Matthew 25:10; only those that were prepared were able to ENTER!! 10 But while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. Matthew 25:10 Amp Second, it is to stretch us for the increase, for MORE, so that we can see the fulfillment of the Promise of God in our lives presently of that Hope!!!!!! Therefore, I pray that the God of all Hope fill you with Hope and that you stay in the stronghold of His Hope (Zechariah 9:12) to see the evidence of your Hope, FAITH!!! I pray God bring forth the power of His Holy Spirit to cause you to rise up in that Hope to see the Promise fulfilled in Jesus Name!! And I declare that the Joy of the Lord is your strength!!!! In Jesus Name!!! God bless you! Robin
