Lord, I’m hurting so badly. I need your love, or love in general, rather. I’m scared of the suffering to come, if I can be honest. I keep seeing so many 555s.
And one of the brothers on the mountain, in the refuge community had a dream he told me about – about me suffering tremendously. And then, just this morning, I got the passion readings. And a trial just happened last night and this morning. I feel like my heart is bleeding. Immediately I heard –
“Your feelings are a big distraction, beloved. I no longer want you to give so much attention to your emotions, especially the negative ones. There’s so much fruit and harvest ahead, and there’s so much for you to do. That is why I encourage you with the Rhema this morning; you are sown into a good field.”
And as an aside, the Rhema had a terrible drawing I did of a woman crying and praying. She had a field underneath her. And I wrote the names of countries, of my family, of marriages. And it said “You are sowing good seed in your field”.
“All your prayers are now bearing fruit, whether you realize it or not. Then soon the harvest. Do not give up now. Now that you’re learning about farming and gardening, you see the necessity of water to produce any type of plant. Water is most necessary to the soil and the livelihood of what you are trying to grow.”
And I’m a hot mess guys.. I reasoned with this thinking: do all plants need water? Maybe there’s a unique plant or tree out there that grows in extreme weather conditions and doesn’t need water. I don’t even know why I questioned it. To be honest, I was doubting if this was the Lord or my mind. Because I was just full of emotions this morning. So I decided to Google it.
And the first thing that popped up, quoted with exclamation points, said – “Living things need water to stay alive. And plants are living things! (exclamation point) Plants however, need much more water than many living things because plants use much more water than most animals. Plants also contain more water than animals. Plants are about 90% water.”
I was then like: Ok Lord, sorry for doubting. Shows how green I am..
He continued,
“There are some plants that may not need as much water as others. But all plants, one way or the other, need moisture through water. Your tears and suffering are watering all your prayers, backing it up, causing the soil of the hearts of those you’re praying for to be softened. Causing the soil of every bad circumstance or situation you’re praying for, to be softened. Breaking up, so breakthrough can take place”.
And the Lord was referencing the parable of the sower, Matthew 13 verses 1 to 23. It says:
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” 11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Those seeing they do not see, though hearing they do not hear or understand.In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah.”
Ok, Verse 18: “Listen then to what the parable sower means. When anyone hears the message about the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in the heart. This is the seed sown along the path.The seed falling on the rocky ground refers to someone who hears a word and at once, receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns references someone who hears the word,but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word, understands it, and that is one who produces a crop and yields a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”
“So, I can break through and cause that situation to be turned aroundand ballooned for My glory, rather than it seeing death and decay as the enemy desires. Oh My little one, there is so much fruit you are bearing and so little you see. But a season is coming where I will allow you to see the abundance of your fruit. Then you will know all things were so worth it. Were so worth it to see healed souls, healed marriages, healed situations, healed nations and restoration. For now, I want you to continue to give of yourself continuously without thinking of the results.
“I know you’re hurting beloved, and I’m the healer. Look to Me for your healing and peace and no other. Thank Me rather for victory and praise me through the pain and in the rain. Praise Me nonetheless for all the good you’ve seen and for My faithfulness in all things and do not fear. You have surrendered to Me everything. Whatever I allow, know that it’s for your own good. And after you’ve suffered, do I not always restore you and strengthen you?”
Yes, Lord, You do.
“I will continue to.”
Lord, these tests are so hard and I feel so embarrassed because I keep failing.
That is what my mother-in-law and I were talking about. We had a funny conversation where she didn’t want to be tested and she told the Lord, please don’t test me. If you test me, I will fail. So just rather leave me to be. I laughed and told her I told the Lord that something very similar. So now when a situation happens in the house, she has an opportunity to respond and she’s angry or frustrated. I immediately look at her and say, it’s a test. it’s a test, pass the test. And we laugh it off.
Sorry, Lord. Are you ever frustrated with us when you warn us ahead of time of impending trials coming or situation? You tell us to trust you, even tell us the outcome, but we still fail? So sad..
He responded,
“It’s so human, beloved. You see, I don’t see as men sees, but I always look at the heart. I know your weakness and human frailty. The problem is that humanity doesn’t embrace it yet. Many have not come to grasp with their frailness and their weakness. Rather, they shy away from it and put on this facade to rather find support in their strengths. I do not blame them. It is the world’s way of thinking it influences the culture all around you. Strength is rather promoted, encouraged, honored, respected, and many times idolized. Weakness is looked at as pathetic, incapable, unattractive, or rejected. But did I not say rather to boast in your weakness so that I may be glorified?”
2nd Corinthians 12 9: But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I’ll boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
“My beloved Son came to show men to embrace their weakness and frailty. Although God, He made himself of no equality when He was on Earth. And I made it so that not only could we relate to mankind in the most intimate way, but that they would embrace their every little weakness and see that I find glory in it because of My Son.”
I then knew I was speaking to Papa God.
1st Corinthians 1:25 came to my mind.
“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”
“What is the foolishness of God?” He said.
And I have always pondered on the scripture, Lord.
“The foolishness of God, is love. Love is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is also love. Love is stronger than any human strength. You see, the cross, suffering, and weaknesses seem so foolish to man, that it cannot be means to salvation or redemption of mankind. Even now, any cross suffering a weakness I allow, seems foolish to those who are strong and wise because they despise weakness. The weakness of God is still love, because love humbles itself, love lays down itself, love makes itself vulnerable over and over again. And it gave of itself until the last drop. If a soul is to love like Christ, they are looked at as weak, are they not?”
Yes, Lord, they are.
“So when you love selflessly, you’ll be taken advantage of, used, abused at times, rejected, met with scorn, and even seen as an outcast to those who are stronger or desire strength by human standards. They look to please men and are full of pride in their strength to show themselves strong rather than humble, weak, and full of my kind of love. So my wisdom is found in the trials and tests I allow, My little one, and all My Brides.
“You will look foolish if you follow My ways. You will look weak if you follow in My Son’s footsteps. Human wisdom cannot comprehend how someone can continue to love in any situation and put themselves last and others first, while looking foolish. That is not wisdom. Rather, you are taught to not let people hurt you twice, not to let someone take advantage of you twice, not to put up with being looked down on, not accepted, dishonored, and even disrespected, because if you allow that, you are…?
Mary Elisha: A fool?
Father God: “Exactly. You are taught to have expectations, demand your rights, demand justice when you are unfairly treated, fight back when you are confronted, make your opinion and desire known when you do not like something. That is known as human strength. Having those qualities would deem you as a strong person.
“And let’s talk about physical strength. Having a physique, being sharp-minded, intelligent, being able to do strenuous activity without any help or support, and doing it well without tiring, is known as strong. But what about the little ones who are carrying various crosses of sickness, infirmity, and disability with their members or immune system? Those who are sensitive or have a weakness of mind, incapable of comprehending ideas, unable to even move but stuck in bed for a good portion of their day, or in bed all day because of a condition. They are seen as weak. Rather, that is the weakness I have allotted for them, to sanctify them, to humble them, to purify their souls, and to use their suffering as a sacrifice, to back up the rest of the members in my body, to bring about the healing and salvation of so many souls that they will only know when they get to Heaven.
“So from man’s perspective, these souls are weak. My wisdom in allowing someone to carry across a weakness of any kind is seen as foolish. But man does not understand the wisdom behind all I do and allow. I am sovereign over all things. Nothing escapes me. I mean nothing happens to you or your loved ones by chance, My beloved Brides. Everything serves a reason and a purpose for my glory. Truly, it does, for you who are called to my purposes. My beloved Brides, I’m doing something in you and through you, so good, if you can only see the fruit on the other side, you’d be elated and overjoyed, unable to contain your excitement and jubilation at what seems like foolishness, and what seems like weakness in your life, and the life of others that I use for My glory. To build My Kingdom on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
“So trust Me, My little ones. I have now opened your mind and understanding to this scripture. To My ways and to My great love for you, that comes in the mystery of suffering and weakness, that actually grows you in love. Transforming you into the likeness of My Son, that you may look like your Bridegroom, as He presents you spotless and blameless before Me in the end.”
And that was the end of Jesus’ message.
I went to Bible Promises to get confirmation for this message. And I feel these two scriptures he gave me in the title of the Bible Promises, ‘Growth in Grace’, nailed It.
The first one is –
Psalm 147:6: The Lord lifts up those who are suffering, and he brings the sinful down.
The second is –
2nd Corinthians 3:18: All of us with no covering on our faces, showing the shining greatness of the Lord as in a mirror. All the time we’re being changed to look like Him with more and more of His shining greatness. The change is from the Lord who is the spirit.
Amen. So may the Lord give us the grace to change and become like Him. And boast all that the more in our weakness, that He may be glorified.
God bless you family, until the next message.
