Revolution X (3-21-09)

I end this revolution series with this final thought. I have told you that I am seeking a prophetic word concerning the closing of this battle. My greatest suspicion that I am near the end which in all honesty is truly the beginning is that by revelation I have gained understanding. It has been my experience in my many decades in Christ that understanding always comes at the end of my trials. This running concurrently with the times and seasons of God’s work in the fullness of time makes my vision clear. To this vision I have sought to add the resolute and immutable “thus sayeth the Lord.” I have never used the prophetic gift for myself and had to wrestle with the thought for some time. When I had finished analysing this concept from every reasonable angle I came to this conclusion. Christ is the only prophet I know from Scriptures that prophesied His own future. Really He is the only one to prophesy anyone’s future. He is the spirit of prophecy. He knows my future and can reveal it. Would He was my question. I searched the scriptures and all my understanding to answer this question. Today I say “Yes He will and desires to do so.” Think of the 4 living creatures who are ever present at the throne. Think also that in Christ we are seated in heavenly places. Finally think of the role of the bride in history and now in the fullness of time. Are there secrets in marriage? Yes there always are but in a true love relationship there are no secrets in the area of oneness. The union is honest and constantly revealing. These living creatures had eyes everywhere. In His presence is light, vision, revelation. All is seen in absolute truth. My answer then to know prophetically is not to divine a gift but to seek His presence. In this I will be made holy as He is holy. I will see as I am seen. I will know Him and in knowing Him I will discover how He will be revealed prophetically in my history, in my bride story. More than I truly need to know my future or to know how to fulfill my hope for all of you I need Him and Him alone. He is my future, and my eternal present. It is upon this truth I will receive my prophetic answer. It is upon this truth I was called to enter revolution. It is this truth that brought me in that will bring me out. Oh to know Him to truly know Him who loved me so well. “Lord dwell with me, let me see thy lovely face with its adoring look. Lift me into thy holy presence with thy mighty arm of redemption. Make me a wife fitting Your affections. Cause me to be thy glory and to shine with the brightness of Your truth. In all the darkness that surrounds me make me Your beacon, Your witness. As You come to conquer sin and death now in the fullness of Your time come Lord Jesus and put every enemy under subjection. Finally reveal by Your spirit the end of this battle that we may with knowledge enter the beginning of Your victory. As the heavens declare I declare “You are Holy” make me likewise holy. To you be all glory, honor, and praise forever, Amen!”
