Friends, I received this word that I believe came from the Lord on December 29, 2020 as I sat in His presence to hear from His heart concerning what is to come.
I AM WITH YOU
"I want you to know that no matter what 2021 brings that I am with you. You are not alone. I will give you the strength to walk through whatever the year brings come hell or high water. I will be walking with you through the fire. I have given you My word that I will never leave you and I will never forsake you.
I love you my baby girl.
I love you my precious son."
CHURCH IN THE FORGE
"I am forging My church."
(As I heard these words, I saw a blacksmith's hammer hitting a bright hot metal bar on an anvil.)
"I am shaping you into an instrument and a vessel useful to your Master. In the heat the dross rises to the top. I am skimming off the dross. I am looking for purity and a moldability in my church.
This is My promise to you. You will not burn up in the fire. I will blow away the ashes."
(At this point I saw God's breath blowing on the instrument that He was making. Gray and black ashes sped away at the gust of breath revealing a glowing metal that radiated ever brighter and hotter with every breath.)
"You will come out of the refining fire with a supernatural glow."
"In the heat, parts of My church that have been separate will be welded together. What could not be joined in the COOL and COMFORTABLE environment, will yield and meld together in EXTREME HEAT.
I WILL have a church that is ONE as I and My Father are one.
In the midst of the heat of persecution, My first century church flourished. We are about to see who are My true disciples."
UNDER HIS SHELTER
Debbie, 2020 was just a taste of what is to come. Do not fear, My daughter. My chosen ones are covered under the Branch of My protection."
Suddenly, I was sitting under a cherry tree branch that was covered in fragrant blossoms. The branch was ever growing and blossoming as it formed a perfect arch over me. Encompassed by the cherry branch I felt safe, secure, and peaceful. By revelation I knew that I was dwelling in the shelter of the Most High where His banner over me is love. Here under His covering, evil and darkness that extended its tendrils toward me could not find an opening to penetrate.
YOUR FINEST HOUR
Here I began to sense that there was a growing distinction between those who were NOT in a trusting love relationship with Jesus and those who KNEW their God. While those who did not know Him reacted in confusion, disillusionment, and fear, those who knew Him were already confidently running with the task He had given them.
"My people are even now advancing and building.
My people are arising in Kingdom authority.
My people are feasting on the riches of My goodness.
My people are rising above the storm.
Deborah, the dawn is breaking for My church. This is the moment I have been waiting for."
When darkness, deep gross darkness, covers the earth...then His glory shall appear.
Church, this is your finest hour! This is your moment to rise. This is your moment to shine!
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." Isaiah 60:1-2 NIV
CHOOSE YOUR GROUND
Church, you had better hold onto the Word of Truth. Wrap yourself with the cords of hope and anchor yourself to Jesus Christ, for this is going to be a bumpy ride.
It is time to get rid of the FLUFF in your Christian walk. If it isn't solid--let it go. If it isn't secure--throw it out. If it isn't storing up treasure in heaven, then it will be worthless to you.
Choose your ground. I suggest that it be the High Ground, for when all hell and highwater break loose, you aren't going to want to find your feet on shifting sand.
Be fit for action and sober minded.
"The hail stones are going to get bigger and fall harder upon the white washed wall. I am bent on tearing the walls down and revealing My true church."
Will the REAL church please stand up!
"Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." -1 Peter 1:13
"And now we have run into his heart to hide ourselves in his faithfulness. This is where we find his strength and comfort, for he empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakeable hope! We have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God himself. Our anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seat which sits in the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold," -Hebrews 6:18b-19 TPT
