Jan 23, 2009 --This is the first time in years -- the Lord impressed upon me to go public during my assigned 30 day consecration & fast. In this, focusing on His voice speaking through Isaiah chapter 58. He brought to my remembrance a teaching I did 9 years ago in a womens ministry group on the subject
'Much - healthy righteous - Fruit' is the result when we Allow His [the Lord's] 'Pruning', 'Purging' and 'Proving'. I knew that in this
now time of personal 'pruning', 'purging' and 'proving', my
threshingfloor experience would be an encounter with Him. I longed to hear His heart and instruction for me personally, for the nations and for GRACE Media Network (GMN). You may say, "the network?" Yes, GRACE Media Network (GMN). I lead GMN and its network community, as He leads me. GMN is His doing -- birthed out [established] through me.
As an executive, prophet and overseer of GMN, I too, must consistently, continually, fervently and humbly get His voice [Executive Vision] concerning GRACE Media Network (GMN) and its global community in the Marketplace. His answer, again, is "
'Watchman' speak my word and, also using GRACE Media Network the trumpet [shofar] of my voice from the pulpit to the marketplace."
Ezekiel 33:1-11
"Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: "When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make Him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning, his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand. So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Therefore, you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: "Thus you say, If our transgressions and our sons lie upon us, and we "pine away in them, how can we then live?" Say to them: As I live, says the Lord God, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?'
Joel 2:15-24
Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restrain and humility]; call a solemn assembly, Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and nursing infants, let the bridegroom [who is legally exempt from the attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None is exempt from humiliation.]
Let the priest, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porches and the altar; and let them say, have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the[heathen] nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people. Yes, the the Lord answered and said to His people, Behold, I am sending you grain and juice [of grape] and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the [heathen] nations. But I will remove far off from you the northern [destroyer's] army and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, with its front toward the eastern [Dead] Sea and with its rear toward the western [Mediterranean] Sea. And it's stench shall come up like that of a decaying mass of locusts, s symbol and forecast of the fate of the northern army in the final day of the Lord], and its foul odor hall come up, because He has done great things [the Lord will have destroyed the invaders]! ...Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He gives you the former or early rain in just measure and in righteousness, and He causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, as before. And the
threshingfloor shall be
full of grain and the vats shall overflow with juice [of the grape] and oil.
"Beloved -- Although the Lord sends warning, before His judgement, He always reveals by His Spirit and extends his blessing to those who have an ear to hear what the Spirit of Lord is saying in this hour."
