The Two-edged Sword Of Challenge And Promise

I hear the Lord saying that His children are right now looking at a two-edged sword. On one side of the sword is a challenge. On the other side of the sword is a promise, but it is the same sword. This sword is the sword which divides between soul and spirit, and the Lord is wielding this sword right now, because He wants His children to inherit His promises, but the promises are on the other side of the challenge. I believe He would say to us today…

My children, I have died so that you can live a wide-open, spacious life. Do you think because satan tells you something, that you only have the options HE gives you? Satan is a liar and the father of lies, so whatever he tells you, the opposite is true. This is not your new normal, the new normal is the Kingdom of God displayed across the world. Will you refuse to bow down to what your enemy says and stay firm and solid on what I say? Many don’t know what I am saying right now. Many did not know My voice and my intimate whispers in the good times, so they don’t know how to find it now in the challenging times. But I can assure you that I am here to listen and to speak. I will carry My people through this. I will restore them from every decision they have made to bow to the enemy. But this must stop this right now. My children, you must bow only to me, not to the antichrist agenda of my enemy.

My son died for you, He died for your family, He died for your freedom, He died for your nation. Please do not hand away what He has given you at so great a cost and bow your knee to a communist agenda which would strip you of every freedom that He died to give you.

WHEN YOU STOP BOWING YOUR KNEES, THE AGENDA WILL STOP.
My people are the ones who determine the outcome of a nation. I have said that if My people pray, and turn from their wicked ways and seek My face, I will forgive their sins and heal their land. I didn’t say anything about what the rest of the nation does, because it doesn’t make a difference. You are the true governing body in any nation and it’s what YOU do that determines the outcome. Right now, many of My people in the nation of Australia are bowing their knees to counterfeit Holy Spirits and communist, freedom-stripping agendas.

MY SON WAS CRUCIFIED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY BECAUSE HE OBEYED ME INSTEAD OF THEM.

Do you think you are honouring and serving Me by bowing down to a government which is partnering with an antichrist spirit? You are not honouring me, but you are dishonouring Me.

If you love Me, you will obey Me.
If you love Me, you will obey Me.
If you love ME, you will obey ME!

Many are seeking me for answers for what to do, when they already know the answers. I will not speak to you a contrary word to what you already know in your heart to be true. Do not compromise with evil.

And do not compromise so that you can fulfil your ‘purpose’! Your purpose is to be in an intimate relationship with Me, it is not something you do for me! Would you see me as so small that I can’t override what satan has set as the limitations to serving me? If I want you to serve Me and preach My name in another nation, do you realise that I know how to get you there? You could bow to man and make your own way… or you could press deep into Me. How do you know I wouldn’t get you through borders as though you were invisible? How do you know that you wouldn’t go on great adventures with Me? How do you know I wouldn’t translate you in the spirit from one nation to the next? How do you know this whole thing is not going to be gloriously overturned in one fell swoop? Please do not exchange the great adventure you could be having with Me, for a man-man, compromised solution that will hurt both heart and body. I want to take you on great adventures with Me. Do you know what I am capable of?

I tell you now that you are about to see who I really am. I am about to display My power to the entire world and all human flesh will see it together. I will demonstrate that I am Yahwah, Almighty God and loving Father. I am the one who reigns on this earth and I am cleaning house. Every demon on the planet is going to shake from its place. I am shaking everything that can be shaken, so that only those things which cannot be shaken will remain and continue. Are you an unshakeable one? Are you one who will stay standing? Do you know Me? Do you trust Me? Do you want to see My glory on the earth? Because My glory will be demonstrated on the earth to you and through you.

I am shaking the enemy’s camp and I am also shaking every institution and I am starting with the church. What a counterfeit My children have built to represent Me on the earth. Man has created a golden calf in his own image – in the image of who he thinks I am or who he wants or believes Me to be. I am the powerful God of love and oneness, and yet much of my church has tried to tell the world that I am the powerless God of law and division. I have offered you, through the precious life of My Son, every solution to every problem on the face of the earth, and many of My solutions have been treated with disdain and ignorance. The condition of the world is because of the condition of the church and you must know, My people, that for me to bring an overturning of the world, there is first going to be an overturning of the church. Know now that there is no place to not choose in this overturning. Just as when Moses came down the mountain and the people had to choose whether they were for Me or against Me, there is no third option.

Many think that they can just keep living the way that they have done before, that it’s worked to live on milk, being led by emotions and doing what man feels is right. But WHAT HAS GOTTEN YOU THROUGH TIMES OF PEACE WILL NEVER YOU GET YOU THROUGH TIMES OF WAR. You will not be able to stand in these times if you do not submit your heart totally to Mine. This is the end of the flesh. This is the end of drinking milk. This is the end of division. This is the end of pride. This is the end of sitting on a pew and calling it worship. THIS IS THE GREAT MATURING OF MY PEOPLE!

I desire not sacrifice but obedience. Those who know each day the words that I am speaking directly to their hearts, are continually in the process of obeying specific directions from Me, are seeing fruit of living testimony in their lives as a result of this, and are living in the fruit of love, are the ones whose hearts are burning for Me.

My son made it very clear – if it’s not love, it’s not Him! Love is not timid, love is a mighty and powerful force. It doesn’t dance with the flesh, and it doesn’t traffic in dishonour. It doesn’t try to force people into moulds of man’s own making, but it opens treasure chests within people of My own making.

So join with me, for if you’re not on my side you are against me. And if you refuse to help me gather the spoils, you are making things worse. Matthew 12:30 (TPT)

Anyone who is not actively standing against the antichrist spirit assailing the nations, is standing against Me. There is no middle ground.

We’re about to see the Kingdom era. I am looking for those who would be glorious by aligning their hearts with Mine and agreeing with what I am saying. Can I display My glory in and through you? Do you know what I am offering? Do you know what is coming? Do you have ANY idea? Things that no human eye has seen or thought of… things that no human ears have ever heard or imagined. You get to be in the front line if you choose to be. You get to be involved in the greatest adventures mankind has ever experienced if you will choose it. But you have to leave everything else behind. There is nothing left for you there. Babylon cannot be saved, abandon her! Abandon her! But the Kingdom of God, oh the glorious Kingdom, it has never yet been seen on the earth.

I am looking for those glorious sons through whom I can display it. Can you hear the sounds of all creation crying out and longing for you to arise? Can you sense the anticipation and the climax of the eras and the times and seasons? This is far, far bigger than your mind can conceive. These times are the most far-reaching that you could ever consider. Be not afraid My children, it is your Father’s good delight to give you the Kingdom. But you have to want it. You have to want it with everything in you. You have to be willing to consider everything else of no worth, to experience that Kingdom realm. Few have entered because few do. Many want what they want more than they want what I offer them. I offer a wide-open, spacious life and they choose to live as slaves. I offer royal sonship and honour and glory which comes through humility and sacrifice and submission and obedience. Yes there is a price, but there is no value that can be placed on the promise. Yes, there is a cost, but oh the promise… oh the amazing, expansive, incredible promise! If only you could see what I can see. Actually, you can, I invited you to live in heavenly places with Me. I asked you to come up here and see and I will show you things to come. I have a throne for you, so come and view the world through My eyes. You will be so excited you will never be able to go back to your normal, human ways.

I am talking to the royal sons. I am talking to the King’s kids. I am talking to the glory carriers. I am talking to the hope bearers. I am talking to the promise believers. I am talking to the humble who will believe when I say that this is who you are. Who will stand up? Who will answer? Who will respond?

Will you be counted amongst the army I am raising up? The glorious, Kingdom army which will display My face, MY FACE to the nations? It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming soon. Very soon. Hallelujah!
