The Sifting Has Begun In Earnest
The sifting has only just begun in earnest, child. You say to me,
“Father, I have already been sifted.” But, I say to you, that the enemy
is desiring to sift out all of Mine in this hour. For He has little
time, and will come and press My Own to see if they will break. But I
say to you, that nothing that is rooted and firmly planted IN Me will
break, nor will it fall.
The Sifting is for My Purposes as well. For I allow the enemy to sift,
press, and accuse to show forth My Glory in My submitted Vessels. For I
am glorified through your trials, and tribulations. I am seen through
the dark night of your soul, and the travails of the birthing. I am the
one who brings you through. I am the one who sustains you, and has been
with you from the beginning, and I will still be, until the end.
This sifting, is only the beginnings of the shakings that will greatly
increase upon the earth. Men’s hearts will fail them and great anguish
will be their portion, if they do not firmly anchor themselves into Me.
The sufferings that you walk through, are nothing compared to what many
do, without My Grace. I took the punishment for your sins, and thereby
My Grace shields you from the sting and the curse of them, so you do not
have to bear the full weight of the attacks.
Job walked through many siftings, and did not lose His Faith in Me. He
did not understand why He was tested, as He was obedient to Me, but He
trusted Me enough, to stand till the end. There are few who truly will
stand till the end, as they do not truly trust in Me, and not in their
own strength or wisdom. For many truly will not lay down their lives,
and pick up Mine.
I am sifting the wheat from the chaff. The husk from the seed. The hard
outer layer from the hearts of My Own. It is the treasure within that is
now coming forth, as the sifting unwraps My Workmanship, and also brings
you out into My Place for you. The winds of accusation are only the
first of the opposing winds that will blow across My House. Accusation
is only the outer breaking of the ego, and the will that then is
exposed, then the true heart can be unveiled and dealt with. This is
what I am doing, breaking the hearts, so I can release My Glory.
Out of the treasure of the heart, the mouth will speak. I will have a
pure House, with clean hands and pure hearts, who will speak My Truth
and My Love, and who will not compromise to save themselves or their
reputations, or their images. I will be the only Image that people will
see, when they look at My Children. So, the sifting has begun, and will
increase till the shaking becomes a violent quaking throughout My House.
The winds of adversity precede the winds of opposition. Opposition
determines who will serve Me fully and who will not. For many will save
their lives, rather than lose them for My Gospels sake. Many will not
count a soul more precious than their own life. Many will deny them from
entering into My House, so they can look good. Self-Image is the idol
that I am bringing down, for it is erected in the Holy Place instead of
Me.
No unclean thing will be erected in your heart, if it is given to Me.
For I will not be second place to you, or to anyone. The siftings reveal
who is seated upon the throne of your heart. It will be too costly for
most, for most love themselves, and will not crucify their lives, and to
be utterly forsaken, and enter into identity with Me. Unless you are
willing to suffer, and to be as nothing, and to die to all that you are,
then you will not know Me, nor be One with Me, nor will you remain in
My House.
So, embrace My Siftings. Rejoice over your trials and temptations, as My
Son did. Liken yourself to Me, and count it all as joy, and receive My
Grace. For My Grace is given to all, who fully come to Me, and deny
themselves. Those who will not do this, will fall under the weight of
their own choice, as they did not dig deep enough into their own hearts
to be firmly rooted and grounded into Me. Such are those who will be
swept away in the flood of opposition that now comes.
All that you are, and all that you will be, and all that you shall do IN
Me, has already been seen by Me, so trust Me, as I walk with you through
the siftings and the shakings, for I am ever with you. I know the hours
of heaviness that you walk through each day. I know the voices that
accuse you falsely, and thereby slander Me also. I know the hurts that
you wear because of the unjust system that you have lived in, but know
that I Am the Lord of Hosts, and I will repay all to it’s fullness.
Nothing will be left unturned, or unchanged.
Everything will change.
Everyone will choose.
For The Hour of Trial has already begun, and so few have embraced it. So
few, have recognized Me in it. So few, understand that I AM in control
of all things in the earth. I allow or disallow according to My Will and
Purposes for all men. Everything that happens is in MY Control and in My
Foreknowledge. All things work together for good, to those who love Me,
and who walk in Obedience to Me. Through such I will be glorified.
My Glory will be seen through each who receives Me in this hour, and who
knows that I AM with them, and have their life In My Hands. This hour
will show who loves themselves, more than Me. The sifting has brought a
settlement and a comfortableness has settled in, now the shaking will
bring the total breaking.
No man will sleep through the breaking. No man will stand through the
breaking. For all who do not fall willing upon the rock, will be crushed
under it. I will be the Lord of all, or of nothing, in your lives. I
will be the Rock upon which you will stand in this short night.
The sifting has served it’s purpose, and you have come forth, with your
garments of white.
But woe to those who embrace the night.
Woe to those who are not found standing in MY Light.
