The prophet and the pain
Posted by appolus on August 31, 2019
The wounds of the prophet’s heart are too numerous to count. A man or woman who has stood in the throne-room of the living God, who has cried out ” I am undone,’ who has been penetrated to his or her very core can never walk the world as they once did. Everything illuminated by the light of God is a terrible weight on the soul.
A mountain of magnificent Truth ever lies before such a saint and everything that assaults that Truth is felt in the inner man like the blow of a blunt instrument. It wounds, it breaks it pains the heightened awareness of the awakened soul. Truth courses through the veins like molten rock, a fire that consumes the bones. Will he or she speak? Can it remain in the heart? It can only guarantee more blows, yet this fire cannot be contained. It seeks relief.
The Lord shakes the earth, but not just the earth, He shakes the very heavens.Shall we resist the shaking, shall we refuse the voice that speaks in the midst of the shaking? What now is the Spirit saying to His Church? He is removing all things from His Church that can be shaken, only that which cannot be shaken shall remain. Our God is a consuming Fire.
A Call To The Remnant

You expressed exactly how I feel. I can not not warn … as I warn I weep. I see the shape of the ‘church … the tolerance and silence of most. I grieve as I see evil penetrate like a not so hidden spider web … but like all spider webs if the light doesn’t shine through the trees we will walk right into them. We are to be the light … and more we are to expose the evil … not to hold back whether we see that the message is heard or not. We are to plant seeds … we are to walk in His Truth no matter the cost.
The evil has indeed penetrated all levels of this culture … my 16 grand daughter was required to read a known mystics book ‘A brave new world’ which has been banned in other countries … which was removed from the reading list in Missouri … and this was done in a not to distant past. I wrote the editor of the local paper and the superintendent of the school but to no obvious avail. We are called to train the children in the ways of our LORD. Satan always has his own allies … I read Stalin knew education could be used as propaganda.
In all ways our GOD is faithful … He hears our hearts cry for revival … my prayer is that we see this in this nation but I also know that when He says enough is enough we will see His righteous judgement. So I cry in your wrath, LORD, remember mercy …
Thank you once more for your encouragement … for your speaking His heart. I do not say this to glorify you … but in all things to glorify our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ and Our heavenly Father. We trust to know God is always faithful in providing a voice crying out in the wilderness. We are to prepare the way for the LORD … we are to expose the crooked paths and with His strength make them straight. I pray for the spirit of Elijah to come alive in the body of Christ. And it will because The Word promises this … Jesus is going to return just as He promised … one fine day The Father will say, “Son go get my children.” And not only that but the wrath will rain down as The KING of Kings and LORD of lords comes not only with redemption but to rain down vengeance on the wicked. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of The living GOD.
“He that despised Mose’s law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10) In this knowledge we must draw yet closer into the shadow of our GOD … we must separate ourselves more from this world and we must not be deceived by the wiles of Satan … all pride in ourselves must be shattered … we must examine ourselves and daily die to ourselves … we must walk in the light and be the light as more attacks are on the horizon. In this I pray that the remnant be strong and courageous.

And this brother simply says “Amen,” sister. No one will be more influential on your grand-daughter than you. My own grandson is 10 and I pray that I stand in the gap for him……………bro Frank
