Dear Ones,

Note:

After reread it myself, I found, unlike other sharing of mine, this is a very straightforward writing. But I did not feel to change it a bit. There is time to speak gently, time to speak loud. I actually think this message should be shouted out.

I do pray I heard it right with these following thoughts. I believe what I describe here will be quickly unfolded in the coming days as a new alignment is coming, which will result in some people moving from fellowship to fellowship, ministry to ministry, relationship to relationship, work from work, place to place, or one set of environment to another. The change will be sudden and quite drastic, in many ways new, but also fulfilling when considering what the Lord has been preparing us for: the coming of His family culture will have to start with a family union, even in our midst. What was sown in our lives will come to fruition and a new round of increase in Him. Unfortunately, to those who have their heart hardened, there will be heavy discipline, even severe judgment. 

Like myself, many are in urgent need of this message.

A great separation

It is a season of great travailing for those whom the Lord will bring to His own care. While God has almost already “released” those have been pursuing their own vision to be hardened in their own ways, now what He conditioned as a pressure for a spiritual birth will be released as well. Naturally this will result in a great separation. The son will be taken away from the woman. (Rev. 12)

Great confusion will come because “His little ones” will be scattered and persecuted, but those who has been faithful with the heavenly vision and whole-heartedly trust God will be “snatched away” (raptured, caught up). The pain, sorrow and the intense struggle of His faithful ones can only be compared to what Paul described in Rom. 8:18-10:21.

It is time for many faithful servants to turn away from their own “Jews” to the “Gentiles”. Seperation of such a nature is never an easy turn for a heart of love. It always comes with a great struggle. 

In this light, if one has not been transformed and unified with God’s vision for the Body of Christ or remain uncommitted to his or her particular calling in God, he or she will not be able to embrace the heaviness of the burden, or be troubled by the urgency of leaving all things behind in order to move with God’s new direction. 

Train of God’s glory

I have this inner vision. It would be like to ride a train. The time of embarking is now, and the conductor is checking on each one’s ticket and assigning seats to passengers. But most of God’s people are clueless with the situation. Saddly still many will miss the train even they have been gathered to the station because:

1. They have never bought a ticket, then they will have no right to be seated as they will not be admitted.

2. They have not heeded the voice of horn or the calling of conductors, so they will not come to embark. Some are careless of the time or schedule for the train to take off. They have been running around with a false idea as the train has to wait on them, busy with their own pursuits.  

3. Some are horribly unclean and never thought that it needs some effort on their part to be cleansed and to dress right before they embark the train. They will not be admitted as well.  

4. Even as some are admitted, they will refused to be rightly seated according to the ticket they hold, and will not have peace with others and refused to be settled by the conductors. They will have to be expelled as well.

I have a sense. This journey is so hidden that God will not give many even the chance to be in the station, which means most people will never know that there is a train coming to take them to a new place.    

I also see that when the passengers of this train being moved to the new destination, they will never return. Ahead of them is a family gathering. They will find finally God has give them what has been stolen or held back. 

A dream: my family in the new land

I had a dream yesterday. In it, our family traveled together in a train to a new land. Then led by my father everyone began to preach, help, heal and share with others in the new place-I vaguely remembered it is not far from the sea. The Holy Spirit was mighty on me and took hold of the message as I preached, while all my family stood behind me. The audience was rather a large group of people from the villages around. They were all amazed by the evident power of God resting on me. My mind was so carried away by the Spirit that, when I woke up from the “preaching mode”, I found out there were only few people left. Yet, everyone knew they heard unmistakably the voice of God. To my surprise, I noticed some who has been adamantly opposed my walk in the Lord began to side with me and stood by my family, with a sense of uneasiness. Those had left chose rather to disregard it even they knew it was something God was doing, like the rich young ruler. Yet those who stayed were repenting and were drastically changed. They began to gather with us and were guided by my family to their own places in order to live and help. 

After that, an old friend of my father called on me and wailed as he closely embraced me, saying something to this effect:

“For the past twenty years, I have been longing and waiting for this day. Now the fire in me when I first devoted my life to the Lord is burning gain and even more intensely, and I am blessed to see this in my day as the Lord promised me that I will. 

Please come with me now to my home, I have not been able to change my son’s heart (it appreares in the dream that we grew up together) and he has been lost. Would you please talk to him? Maybe he will listen to you.” 

I went with him, found out the young man was sitting under a tree, very quiet, without even noticing our coming. I did not feel to disturb, thought to myself: he don’t want to talk to me at all. I was a bit apprehensive to interrupt him. But at the urge the father and a deep concern for him (I took pity on him), I presented myself to him. It was as if he woke up from a dream and he was thrilled to find me standing in his front. He embraced me and wept on my shoulder as did his father. Then he shared with me that he had been thinking about what I just preached. He knew everything I shared was what he had been searching for. How He wish He could have heard it earlier! He asked me what to do for him to saved and how to live after this…  

(There are so much more in the dream, but I forgot most of the details.)

Unbelief and rebellion will rob us of everything as our inheritance

Now, I know, clearly a mighty move of God is coming and it will be surprising for many to see. Repentance will mark it out. But also I know that a wrong heart will disqualify one to see and enter into this new direction. 

A heart of unbelief will make some dismiss or ignore the cloud during the day and the pillar in the night. These have no respect or fear of God’s presence. A mind of slavery will distort everything. There are those ever long for the spices of slavery and terrified to move into a place they never tread. Thus they will yield to the pressure of man’s flesh and side with rebellious attitudes and actions. “Peace, peace, there shall be no peace for them.” To them, the word of the Lord will become sword and fire. If only they are dealt by it into repentance, or else they will be killed or consumed by it. I hope you know I am speaking not judgment of my own, but a reality that is being revealed to me in this critical time.

Remember the Rock from which you are honed and the temple into which you are built

God is laying the foundation of His House in this age. “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone”. The reason the builders rejected or stumbled over the stone given to them as a standard (guidance) of their work and a sign of their approval unto their work is because their hearts are full of pride and self-indulgence. God clearly defines this kind of heart as rebellious and stubborn, so hardened that it would refuse to hear His voice.   

The Church or House (City) God builds is in the heavenly place. It can’t be built by human hands. It can only be done through our faith, humility and obedience. Divine order and divine favor are never to depart from each other.  But, this does not nullify His order and way in the midst of His people even on earth. In the days to come, we will see this more clearly and with unmistakable evidences.

Have a clear understanding of how to deal with the weight of personal sin and the sin of disobedience and lawlessness

There is always grace to deal with our flesh or sins as we walk in His Light. In this His word stands as the source of our confidence to repent and receive forgiveness of our sins. Bu this can only be done by our living faith and in His living ways: His word presently given, which is light from Him, is for us to obey, not to judge, reason or interpret by our own standard. To hear His voice, we have to have a heart of trust and enjoy great intimacy with Him, not a mind full of self-righteousness and vain imaginations. Such grace for our justification and sanctification will be abundantly given as He pours out love, power and wisdom to His own to establish them in Him and in the things He will release them to do. 

But there will not much grace for those have come to terms with the Anti-Christ spirit and would knowingly and prideful challenging the will of God. John mentioned that there are sins leading to death. Jesus mentioned the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. We will see this more evidently as the hearts of man be exposed and judged.

People came out of old church mind-set seldom know how to fear God, nor how to love God. A grave mistake they constantly relapse into when facing God’s clear voice is that they will justify away His uncompromising standard and retrieved into the caves of self-pity or self-righteousness. Now, it is time for such foolishness to be crushed. It is the serpent’s head in us and around us. It is required on the part of His servants to rise up to uphold the standard of untainted holiness and sincere obedience. Jesus admonished the disciples: what you heard in the inner chamber, announce it on the roof top; do not hind your lamp under the bed, put it on the lamp stand. God said to Joshua: “Be strong and courageous for I will be with you.” Jesus said, “Rise up now. Let’s go to Jerusalem.” There are times God will want us to move ahead in great faith. We can call these as Karios moment: what changed is not quantity of a thing, but quality and nature. It takes great pain to ferment and release such a change. 

I have to confess, I have been struggling hard in some areas of my own life; but I can’t deny His hand is heavy on me and His calling undeniable. I have seen in my heart and my spirit the Banner He raised up on the Mountain Top; I have heard the trumpet call of His angels. I have witnessed of mighty scene of His thunders and lightning, also His awesome holiness and glory. I have come to the mountain top and come into His fire and body to see and speak out. Yet, what will be offered ahead to us makes me filled with awe and joy, despair and hope, unworthiness and thankfulness, fear and trembling, expectation and dismay. Now, as I read Romans the portion I just mentioned, I see in Paul’s heart and spirit of the same kind of groaning and struggling, in his own spirit and for His people. I took great comfort in knowing that it is my God and my Father has ordered me to go through such, so that He can be all in all, even in me.

Bless be His Holy Name!

Be not terrified, rather discern the time, rise up and take a stand in Him

It is time for us to come to our place in Him and move onto take hold of our inheritance in the Heavenly places.

This picture came to me. When a baby is born, it takes 7 days for him and the mother to be cleansed. One the 8th day, the mother can return to the camp; the babe then would be circumcised and named. Then what written in Rev. 12 implies a separation of the flesh and the spirit.

“The son of the desolate woman” will be snatched up into the Father’s glory. He is carried or led captive in the train of Christ, or His Spiritual Body, the Heavenly Temple. He will be helped by angels and the Church in heaven (servants and priests in the Heavenly tabernacle or the Kingdom of Christ and the House of God), in order to sanctify him, sacrifice him and usher him into the Presence of the Father. The baptism of water (the womb of the woman), the baptism of fire (the testing of the angels) and baptism of glory (into the Presence of the Godhead) is the foreordained stages of transformation through which he will be established in the glory and honor, authority and power, wisdom and love, righteousness and justice of his Father. It is only after that he will be sent to the age we are now entering into.    

Even now, there are wars raging heavily in the Heavenly places. But we are to rest and hide in Christ till the Father and the Son have established us before His Throne and reveal us to His creation. 

Now I hope this picture helps: some of us are acting now as conductors for this train, and God has given to us some tickets to offer to those who have been qualified by the Lord as passengers. The corridor is Christ Himself, the way to the Father. 

Paul also said:

Rom 10:14-21 [NIV]

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.” And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.” But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.” 

How important it is to hear and heed the voice of the Lord! Pray with me that God have mercy on all of us in this critical time!
