| "We Wear Our Sins Like Heavy Clothing..." |
(c) Nicki Black
I received this word from the Lord on January 3, 2002. I wrote it down, as Habakkuk 2:2-3 tells us to ".. write down the revelation..". It's been a burden on my heart the last few days to journal it here, right now in this timing:
+++++ <=>< +++++
We wear our sins before the Lord like clothing. Like heavy coats; like belts that are too tight, which do not hurt when we are walking, but when we sit down and stop we feel the suffocation of our spirit within. We wear our sins like slip-on shoes without laces. They take less time to put on. We are lazy in our sins. We are two-faced. We put on our Godly gloves to do God's work, yet we try in vain to stay warm because we are not complete. We wear sunglasses over our eyes so others cannot see the lack of follow-through we carry. We are like mute radios. We come in many styles, colors, and brandings. Yet, we sit, collecting dust, without a righteous sound coming from our mouths. We have the dials and button that list all the channels - the scriptures - yet we do nothing. Even those who are already in a place of music that God has called them, they still sit idle and bide their time doing nothing of value for the Lord.
This begins a NEW SEASON we have been set aside for. We are to be a naked people. We are to seek a new robe, a new wineskin. We have been arrogant and all about self. It is now - right now - that we need to get on our knees and make ourselves blameless before the Lord, so he might grant us favor and direction. So that He will bring us fruit from our labors of the new works we will be doing. We are to go to Him daily in repentance so that He may wash us with a greater anointing and understanding of the Holy Spirit. We are to pour into the people around us and if we do that, God will continue to fill us up. We are to dedicate our families and businesses to the Kingdom of the Lord, for those relationships and contacts will influential and far-reaching. ...
Thus saith the Lord!
... For mine is the Kingdom of Light and Power and I will see My power be unleashed upon the face of this earth, for evil holds but a number in her hand and that number is close to being up. The time is coming like a thief in the night, sooner than we expect. Are we ready? For I say to be expectant in ALL things; hopeful, and full of faith, for I will finish the good works that I have started and thy works of my hands will be completed in due time. I have not made my people to be still without a voice. Have I not given you legs to walk into the nations? Eyes to see circumstance reversed? Hands to do My work so I can bless you financially, like you have been asking? Have I not performed miracles for you, yet you have not thanked me and still ask for more?
For the houses are being built and the cities are many. Just as My houses are numbering so are the houses of the enemy. They are sneaking into our backyards. They are moving in under a cloud of deception as our neighbors. But as they enemy's houses grow in size and vanity, their foundations are weak and unstable. For they know not that they have been built upon the righteous soil of The Most High God and the cracks in evil foundations will crumble into dust and blow away. The House of the Lord is strong and will never fall. Though winds may blow, storms will cause trembling, and ice will chill the faithless, the House of the Lord will never fall.
I am building a bridge beyond continents. My bridge is deep and wide and has room on it for all who turn from their wicked ways and love me. My bridge spans all of the people, from every tongue and tribe. They will come on foot, on horseback, on wings of a dove, sheltered under the protection of the Son of Man, the Great I AM, the Perfect Atonement. For life is not yours for the taking and not sowing. I have bestowed upon each of you a fertile soil in which to plant my seeds of the truth. I have entrusted you with the care of your plowshares. Have you watered your gardens? Have you weeded your soil? Have you tended all that I have given you? Where is the harvest? I promise to you a great reward in Heaven AND on earth, for your time to do my work, as I have called you my sons and daughters. Ask and you shall receive, if in My name and the name of my Son.
Commit yourselves to the harvest; to the sending, to the doing, to the being a mouthpiece in these last days. Some of you have been called to remain in your communities, so go in great faith and what you see as little I see as great. Some of you have been called out into the nations, for I will protect you and keep you there. And some of you I have called to do both and a challenge lies before you to seek My face in all things, remain flexible and unshaken, and know when to move and when to stay. I say to those, do not be afraid or confused. If you know My voice then you know My will. You will make the right decisions for the decision will be mine. You will be like wings of an eagle, flying majestically, in humbleness, reaching places ordained specifically for you. You will come back to your home bases and find refreshing, nourishment, encouragement, strength of character, finances, and then you fly again to the places of which I have called to receive you. Your time abroad will be righteous and awesome. Many will turn and know Me through you, yet you will remain like a child - expectant and excited and ready to do more.
To the Pastors and Leaders I will give to you authority in My name to call what is right in your communities and churches. I will bring to you times of intimate worship, of transformation and quickening of character. I will bring people around you that will hold your arms up when you are weak. I will strengthen your helpmates. I will send you manna when you walk through the desert seeking My will. Your church doors will be many. You window will be few, as windows are transparent and solid and I will make you instead open expanses for the lambs of your growing congregations to not just see into, but to walk through and get filled up. You have seen revival in many places and you have called to have your own but you have not been ready. As now as I am about to open up a flood from Heaven, you will receive a revival so powerful in anointing that thousands will pass through here seeking to have a touch of the Holy Ghost on a daily basis. If you call upon my name I shall see your heart desires to pass. If you humble yourselves and pray, I will bring you great riches in many ways and I will be pleased in the ways you will choose to spend those riches. Martyr your flesh upon the fire of the Spirit. Walk in a new flesh of Me. Be of comfort and diligence even in the hour of the 11th hand, for the Glory of the Lord of All Men will shine upon the darkest of the night. Spend time with me and you shall see. Sit down at the feet of my Son and drink from the cup of truth and joy. For Mine is the Kingdom of the Glorious Appearing and it is coming soon. Be of good cheer. Continue the works. Usher in a new time of teaching, for I will bring it all to you if you look for it in My Word. Salvation will come to the church of the Bride of Christ like a sea of precious gold and silver, so beautiful and pure. Those who come will stay. Those who are following will find My grace. Those who are naked before me will be born again with the asking.
Come to Me now. The time is short and the trumpets are sounding. The parade of nations has begun. There are no acts of lust and jealousy, for those will be left behind. The music of the worship will be pure and anointed. Put on your armor, for the time is now. Thus saith the Lord. In My Name. Amen. |
