Life Behind the Scenes: What in the World is Going on? By Mary Lindow Identity Network

Life Behind the Scenes: What in the World is Going on? By Mary Lindow

Identity Network  Dec. 8, 2017

 

Save me, O God! The water is up to my neck; I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, And the waves are about to drown me. I am worn out from calling for help, and my throat is aching. I have strained my eyes, looking for your help. Psalm 69:1-3

 

There are so many things going on in the hearts of God's people.

 

Many believers have gone through pain and devastation because of betrayal and disappointment in those with whom they have at one time "walked with" in the Lord.

 

"For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; then I could bear it. Nor is it one that hates me who has exalted himself against me; then I could hide from him. But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God among the people." Psalm 55:12-14 

 

Levels of Separation and Deception

 

Church leaders and members or friends often separate. Their unresolved issues and wounds infect others around them. With their tongue and pen, (and Facebook posts) their resentment and bitterness spread in uncontrollable proportions. Christians in other ministries and relationships receive the bad report and often, they don't even know the people involved but - because they have leaned their ears to hear the suggested and well-placed evil reports, the conversation poisons them like toxic waste in their soul. If unchecked, this becomes a hideous, malignant cancer-like cell eventually damaging their mind and above all, their spiritual discernment.

 

"Who is wise? He will realize these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the LORD are right; The righteous walk in them, But the rebellious stumble in them." Hosea 14:9

 

The age-old serpent, the ultimate enemy of our souls, has not lost the art of deception even after centuries! He, even now, can cause God's people, including the sincere ones, to miss the mark if they are willing to only hear one side of a story!

 

The Great "Occupy Something" Movement

 

The "frenzied entitlement culture" we are seeing hold their protests as a result of selfishness and feeding upon fear, have begun to reach a newly fevered pitch. People are "herding" their way into public venues to protest whatever they may be angry at in the moment, and mostly remaining ignorant as to what or who is really driving and orchestrating the events, reflects the hardness of heart and disrespect for the needs and lives of those around them.

 

This type of behavior is a prime example of even how believers have become "selectively " hard of hearing when it comes to serving one another, or encouraging one another, or having patience with one another!   One moment we are asking for forgiveness and prayer, and in nearly the next breath, slanderous retorts are spoken out in anger and those driving the malicious train, mean to use others as their well-placed pawns of destruction.

 

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, Fighting and slander, along with every form of nastiness." Ephesians 4:31

 

Once bitter words are spoken or written, they cannot be retracted. Sadly, those who often shout the loudest about being maligned are often the perpetrators of assassinating the characters of those whom have been in disagreement with them or who have possibly warned them about a need for a course correction.

 

"He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool." Proverbs 10:18

 

Today Many Things have Degenerated into Blurred Insignificance and Uncertainty.

 

The beauty of what God's purpose in His people really is meant to passionately reflect is - missing. Things that are now being said and done do not mean what they did mean originally in His Word. Twisting of truth to fits one's own idea of God's will has become acceptable and is often left unchallenged. So many spiritual and scriptural terms are put into motion, but they are not in the same dimension and point of view, which are in the Divine plan!

 

The tragedy is that so many well-meaning believers have gone on with the outward appearance of searching for the will of the Lord, and yet they fail to see that the power of His radiant life is missing! The Apostle Paul warned us in his letter to Timothy about this, "This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come, having the form of godliness (true religion) but denying the power there of. "

 

My heart is broken to see things as they are happening all around us.

 

So much is falling short of its original blueprint. There is so much labor and "rallying" being pumped out there into the minds and hearts of people and it is being poured into the "Self Promotion Machine" more than any time in the history of God's people! Yet the toil is ending in heartbreaking disappointment!

 

Saints, only those devoted to humility and honor can be saved from this deadly poison that lulls those longing to be entertained and pampered into apathy and spiritual powerlessness!

 

God's faithful people in this hour should seek Him and that which is upon His heart. What the Lord is doing in this era is so different, and we should be sensitive to Him!

 

He is looking for His "People of the Secret Place" in which the power of resurrection may freely function. The Apostle Paul said "according to the power that works in us." (Ephesians 3:20b).

 

These "people" will have to be men and women who have "seen!" They shall be like "a voice in the wilderness."

 

It is becoming increasingly clear that God must do a fresh thing with His followers.

 

And that actual "thing" is that He is drawing them to seek the Lord Himself and His recognizable presence! Away from the throng, nearer to the Word, bowed in repentance and prayer.

 

The Psalmist said, "When You said oh Lord, Seek My face; My heart said unto You, Your face, Lord will I seek."

 

Will You Set Your Heart to Seek Him?

 

Oh that God may find His Davids in this crucial hour that will set their faces towards Him at the command of His voice! Without it, the Human race will continue its fall and decline into further confusion, tragedy, and self-preservation.

 

"Man's goings are of the LORD; How can a man then understand his own way?" Proverbs 20:2

 

It's easy to say, "give your cares to the Lord and trust Him" when everything in life seems to be going well.  It's easy to say, "I trust you Lord with everything I own" when bills are paid on time and when you just got a promotion at work.

 

However, if God striped you of everything you own; If God told you to leave the very job that's paying your bills, will you trust the Lord enough to do it?  Will you trust God even when you don't understand; even when life hurts?  If God told you to leave the familiar and enter the unfamiliar, will you trust Him?

 

For many of you, God has done just that. 

 

He has taken you from what's "oh so familiar" and redirected your paths into the unfamiliar.  You don't understand what's happening in your life; what to do or where to go. 

 

The only thing you know is that the Lord gave you a word (instruction, a promise, vision, etc.) and the only thing you have to hold on to is that word.  I understand the feeling; you're not alone. 

 

There is Encouragement for You Today

 

Many things happen in our lives that we will never be able to explain or understand because God is orchestrating the events of our lives "behind the scenes" (read Job 1-2). Moreover, we cannot detect God physically (through our senses) and we cannot comprehend His plans.

 

"But the hour cometh, and now is, When the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: For the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: And they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24

 

Therefore, since we cannot rely on our perception or our reasoning we must turn to something else that is more reliable if we are going to be able to remain calm in the midst of turmoil, to find rest during the storms of life we must rely on God's knowledge instead of our own. 

 

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts than your thoughts."  Isaiah 55:8-9

 

Let us run right now to the throne of grace and mercy.

 

Now! While our hearts are freshly tenderized and troubled over the recent events in the earth! Here is something to remember.  Man is fallible; we fall short and at times we're unable to keep our promises.  Man can give you instructions that are misleading and imperfect. 

 

With God, none of these things are possible. God keeps His promises, God gives you right instructions according to His perfect will and He won't mislead you. No matter how much you don't understand life as it is right now, no matter how uncomfortable it may seem or how hard it gets, don't give up.  If God is with you -  the same God who spoke life into you, the same God who IS and knows the beginning and the end, the same God who knew you before the foundation of this world -is with you, then ask yourself who or WHAT can stand against you.

 

Consider the Source and Seek to be Obedient to the Lord

 

Even when you don t understand what God is doing in your life; don't worry about "this or that" because God has provisions for you. There is the safe voice of the Father calling us. Let us respond with ears to Hear and hearts that obey.

 

"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16

The Great Coming Whirlwind by Mary Lindow - Identity Network

The Great Coming Whirlwind 

by Mary Lindow

Identity Network Nov. 9, 2017

 

"The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet." Nahum 1:3

 

We are in high-pressured days that seem as if everything around us is in a great whirlwind.

 

The noise coming from the media, the weather patterns, the sounds of war, the sounds of people crying out for "justice" and the sounds of people crying out because they feel like there's been too much "injustice."

 

To Those That Have Ears to Hear

 

The Lord would like to speak these words in this hour to those that have ears to hear.

 

I know there are many, many prophetic words being ushered into the media outlets by so many people and many have been spoken out in meetings and conferences.  I wish that I could tell you that every single voice you're listening to and every promise that is being made to you regarding great wealth, great promotion, and great open doors are accurate. But deep down inside of your spirit man, there is something stirring that you cannot explain. It's that knowing that something is coming, that something has begun out there in the world that we cannot see, but that we know in the spirit.

 

We are in a time like none other on and in the earth.  But, we do have reference points to go to that tell of similar warnings and events that took place in the past. We can remember when Lot chose to go for the things that were more pleasing to his flesh and where he would have more abundant provision and opportunity for business trade, but in the end he was stuck in the city where there was nothing but illicit sex, graft, stealing and robbing, and eventually total desolation and demolition. Even as the Lord provided a way of escape, his wife still had the smell, the stench of the worldly life in her heart, and she turned around to look one more time, fondly, over her shoulder, at the home that she dreaded to leave behind.

 

Look at the days of Noah when he was mocked and laughed at.  He did not build that famous ark in a month! No! It took a long, long period of time to build the ark out in the middle of nowhere!   A simple study of the Bible text shows that the time from when God told Noah to build the ark, till the rain fell was no longer than about 75 years.

 

And yet he obeyed God.  If we read carefully, it says that the Lord himself drew the animals to the ark. First, it is necessary to note that Noah was not told to gather the animals. He was commanded only to build the Ark, large enough for all the animals, and simply receive the animals when they arrived.

 

"And of every living thing of all flesh....two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive." (Genesis 6:19-20)

 

A Whirlwind is Coming

 

I want to encourage all of you to understand clearly that there is a whirlwind coming.

 

In Jeremiah 23:19 God is talking about a whirlwind that He has sent—a violent windstorm. The false prophets have said, "No bad is coming" (verse 17). God says, "Do they ever listen to me? I've said, 'I'm sending a whirlwind, and it's going to fall on the heads of the wicked.' How dare they say that everything is going to be okay!'"

 

What is coming is bigger and broader and wider and more destructive than anything else that we have ever seen. I don't know if it's a nuclear war! I don't know if it's bizarre weather patterns! And I don't know if it's not just a whirlwind of new kinds of ideas being foisted upon mankind.

 

What I do Know is This

 

There are people who are aware in the spirit that the only stronghold in place right now, a place of immunity and safety, is in prayer and in surrendering to all that the Lord is asking of them. Many of you are stretched beyond the point that no one can understand. Their financial resources have been given and given again to help others, and yet their own supply seems to be dwindling. There are those who have poured into the lives of others, poured into businesses, poured into mentoring and training others, and yet it appears as if when they reach out there's nothing left in the pantry for them.

 

The Lord wants those of you who have been giving, giving, giving to check your hearts one more time.  If HE told you to give and to serve and to sacrifice, then you can be guaranteed one thing. He does not withhold from those who have been faithful.

 

"But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6

 

And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity. 2 Corinthians 9:10

I want to encourage you right now in the spirit to understand the time that we are in, is a time when nothing is making sense when trying to apply the past patterns and methods or, the natural way of living. It's going to take a determined, dogged, supernatural approach to understand the seasons the days and the times.

 

God already understands all of this, but He is not going to communicate to people who will then try to communicate it in natural terms to those who don't have ears to hear. He's going to communicate truth and wisdom to those were willing to allow their own hearts to go into the fire of refining and changing the way that they have done things in the past.

 

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise." Psalm 111:10

 

Difficulties Require New Strategies

 

Hard times require sober minds and the determination not to be towed under by destruction and despair.

 

We are not to be focusing on the noise in the whirlwind around us in this world, even though it sure does draw our attention from the left and the right! We are to instead, focus on a specific path, a narrowing of vision and a "one direction" place.

 

And what exactly does that all mean?  It means that we are to seek the Face of the Father.  And I mean seek and to seek, and to seek again. Continually.

 

"Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually." 1 Chronicles 16:11

 

We have got to break down those things that are holding back the move of God in all denominations of the Christian faith.  It will only come by seeking His face, seeing His heart for people and hearing His plans for them, and for us!

 

Oh how the Father wants to bring a fresh move of His presence through His word and through His glorious goodness and mercy!

 

He is going to bring correction to all denominations; all walks that claim to have Jesus Christ as the head of the faith! So many smugly think that because they have been charismatics or that they have been "spirit-filled" they have a higher attained level of wisdom and discernment! This is nothing but plain arrogance. If anything, there should be a more refined level of humility and thankfulness for the fact that we have access through the gifts to flow in the fruits of the Spirit.

"The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)." Isaiah 2:12

 

The Holy Spirit Would Say These Words Today

 

"Yes, the winds are blowing and they are harsh winds and some are absolutely destructive winds! Everything that does not stand under the power of my word and is not anchored in Me shall be shifted and blown and shaken, and at times the winds of drastic change will draw away the dross from the wheat. I am sifting and shaking, and shaking and sifting again and again until my people understand they do not live in a time where making demands and commands to Me operate well.  I am looking for a people who will bow low enough before Me and get quiet and seek My will, MY WILL for planet earth! This world is fading away quickly and mankind is corrupted each day more and more to go the way of the flesh."

 

You Must Put Away the Noise!

 

You must put away the noise in your life and enter into the place where in the center of the storm is the eye. MY eye is upon the righteous, My eye is upon those that are fruitful and faithful, and fruitful to Me may be different than fruitful to you!

 

You cannot serve two masters, yet many have tried to justify the shutting away of My convicting voice when I have told them to go back and make right the situations where they have done grievous damage to others who are supposedly their family members in Christ.

 

If you cannot repent and get relationships right in the Kingdom now, I cannot use you to forge new relationships in the future in My Kingdom. If you have bitterness, anger and jealousy in your heart, it will manifest with shaming and name-calling, as well as condescending and destroying another's capability to serve me well.

 

The days of selfish ambition and immaturity are closely coming to an end. My light, My life, My word and My ways are perfect! I will not deviate from My plan for the Kingdom of God in the earth. I am looking for a people who will not listen to the accusation of others nor slander and destroy their brother and sisters because of another's opinion, or perhaps because they themselves were brought a loving correction or warning and instead, turned around and shamed the messenger.

 

I see you all and I am fully aware of the things that have been done in My name to hide behind selfish ambition. A judgment time is coming!

 

Know this. I am about to expose those who abuse the gifts, abuse their titles and abuse the finances that I have deemed for the kingdom and I'm going to bring their names to the forefront to save their souls!

 

Yes, the whirlwinds may blow, and the storms and winds will be continuing to cycle and swirl. But I'm looking for those who are willing to stay in the center of My Eye, where there is quiet and there is calm and there is discernment, direction and wisdom for these devastating days.

 

To those in the center of My eye, I will pour out a wisdom beyond mankind's understanding and they will rise up and have the words that will bring direction, correction, and light into dark places.

 

The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the traitor. Proverbs 22:12

 

For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21  

 

Stand prepared, for I'm doing this thing regardless of whether man is ready or not. I am that I Am and I will have my way in the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.

 

For this is what the high and exalted One says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." Isaiah 57:15

"The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.  He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.  The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet." Nahum 1:3

We are in high-pressured days that seem as if everything around us is in a great whirlwind.

Why, Oh Why All the Delays? Fear Not! The Encourager Hears You! by Mary Lindow - Identity Network

Why, Oh Why All the Delays? Fear Not! The Encourager Hears You! by Mary Lindow - Identity Network

A Prophetic Word of Hope

I have an unusual stirring in my spirit from the Holy Spirit as I write this message.

The Lord is revealing a sound in the earth coming from the hearts and deep cries of so many of His people right now.  Perhaps it might even be you as you read.  There is a cry of hunger for His sure, safe, presence in difficult times and in changing times.

A Need for "Quiet"

The world and it's voices of influence, humanistic subtleties, and constant technology and it's sounds, bring about an overload of weariness to all people, and there is a greater need for a place of rest for the warriors of truth who are very aware of the pressures that have not stopped mounting for many years now.

There is much treachery occurring in the evil plans of darkness and the people held captive by it these days.

It can bring a real sense of despair, broken heartedness, and shock when you encounter this type of thing and when it attempts to destroy your hope and confidence in what the Lord Jesus has set you apart for to express in His Power and in His name.

Why, Oh Why All the Delays?

I don't know fully why it seems as if good people who are sincere and pure hearted seem to go through more persecution and repeated difficulty than those who seem to be the ones perpetuating the majority of it!!

So many right now are nearly at their wits end waiting for God to relieve them of sorrow, disillusionment and battle fatigue!

"My soul faints with longing for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word." Psalm 119:81

Fear Not!  The Encourager Hears You!

"You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them, and you listen to their cry." Psalm 10:17

What is this verse saying to you and I right now?

It is saying that the Lord Himself will encourage us!

That is why we must continue to fight for that place of Divine "refuge," that "get away from it all" place of craving and longing for His comfort.

He knows our hurt, our loneliness, our scorched and heart torn issues!

He understands how agonizing and bled out we can get when it seems as if battle after battle we begin to wonder if something might be wrong with us!

"Hope delayed makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy."Proverbs 13:12 (NAT)

Nothing can Satisfy Dry Lips Like Water!

We are in a time where no persons opinions, no one's books, no one's TV shows are going to satisfy that craving, that need for a thirst quenching drink of companionship with God.

We long to hear words from someone that tell us everything is going to be all right! That our children will be safe, our homes protected, our basic needs provided! And yet! Nothing "out there" satisfies us fully!

You See Dear Beloved One….

…The season of great hunger for the simple walk with Jesus has blossomed!

Only time spent with him like a dear friend will fill the gaping ache you have.  He will speak, He will comfort, and He will show you what is true and what is false in the days ahead if you will return to that Place of companionship with Him, away from the opinions of men and the noise of this life. 

"Every word you give me is a miracle word - how could I help but obey?  Break open your words, let the light shine out.  Let ordinary people see the meaning.

Mouth open and panting, I wanted your commands more than anything.

Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you." Psalm 119:129-131 (The Message)

A Prophetic Whisper to Your Heart from the Savior

"To know of My ways, you must know ME!  To Know Me, you must spend time with ME.  To spend time with Me, you must purpose, to put aside the lists of things you have to do, before you can spend time with Me."

"Order you days first in My Presence, and watch the desires of your heart be fulfilled.  Man and his counsel will always fall short of the full truth of My Wisdom. I have blueprints and a Master plan for so many things yet to build upon in your life." 

"Come. Let us talk again together."

"You are the temple, the house of My Holy Spirit. I desire to build you up in spiritual strength as you walk in prayer conversations with me.  I will fulfill your longing for peace and direction as you step up again into a heavenly trust and rest."

"People will change, man will fail you, friends will turn, if they are not seeking My Voice above the clamor of the day. And you My child will fail others, if you listen to your own voice of reason and intelligence.  As you turn to Me, you will see My compassion poured out upon you and you will then have My power of pure godly compassion and wisdom driven grace to pour out on others."

"I too, long for you as well!  Seek Me with all of your heart, your longings, your heartaches, your dreams. And I will be there with arms of strength to rescue you from despair."

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

"The LORD is good to those, whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him."Lamentations 3:25
