Today one of the words of the Lord spoken via Glenn H. Jackson in Exhortations From The Father reads as follows:
July 29th 2006:
+ If you have "any" fear of what others think then you are in the "wrong job" and you are on the "wrong planet"!
As always the Lord's timing is perfect - especially when you consider that all week long He has been speaking about the depth of darkness and deception upon man (even so-called "Christians") - and His instructing and strengthening and exhorting those who TRULY HEAR FROM HIM to not let their (those speaking from darkness, self, deception, evil) words of judgment and evil have any affect on that which God has called you to do.
But as SOON as I read the above from Exhortations, Holy Spirit started singing one of His favorite songs, "Not Of This World" which He birthed through the group Petra.
(I hope you are aware that the Lord has FAVORITE SONGS and that SONGS HAVE SEASONS WITH HIM)...
It should be with you that when you finally met the Lord and your eyes of enlightenment were finally opened, you were like, "NOW IT MAKES SENSE!!!" - because you should then have been able to look back and realize how you just KNEW that you never fit in...that you weren't like anyone else...but until you met Him you could just never figure it out or put your finger on what it was that made you so different. You may have even laughed or cried (or both) after finding Him because He allwed you to come to the realization FINALLY of whose you are and that YOU ARE NOT FROM HERE (meaning earth)...FINALLY - you KNEW!
One of the very first songs Holy Spirit showed me was the above mentioned song (back in 1984)...Most recently in October (4th to be exact) of 2005, Holy Spirit birthed a music cd with which I worship and give to others - He named it Power 1 and He picked all the songs and which order to put them in...and "Not Of This World" is how that CD ends...it is an anthem, a declaration that you are His, an anthem of coming out from among the world, an anthem of being separate, an anthem of no compromise.
Many people on this planet sing the Star Spangled Banner and fight over the Pledge Allegiance to the flag. MY pledge and YOUR pledge should be allegiance to Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to His purposes, to His heart.
If you are truly His YOU ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD. You do not belong here - you should not have any affections for this place other than whatever Jesus ordains to happen here, HIS heart is to be your delight - whatsoever He loves, we love. Get your eyes focused on the heavenly realm. Do you want to experience Him in a more intimate and powerful way? LOOK UP...for your redemption draweth nigh....
HA - look at the tapestry He just wove - another part of the Exhortations word for today (July 29th) proclaims a word from JESUS:
+ I am going to "bring you up" with Me for a time, My beloved one, and I shall show you supernaturally in this time all that you need to be shown and truly I say to you, you will never be the same and I shall lay My hands upon you and thus I shall "impart" to you the "special anointing" that shall enable (empower) you to carry out powerfully and gloriously every facet of My will for your life and ministry and you shall help "elevate" My Church to the place that I have called her to! Do not fear, My beloved one, only put yourself in a position continually to receive all that I have for you!
(YOU KNOW WHO HE IS TALKING TO....DO YOU HAVE EARS TO HEAR THE LORD CALLING YOU, "COME UP HERE, COME UP NOW...MY BELOVED...MY BELOVED...")
No, beloved of Almighty God, YOU ARE NOT FROM HERE...YOU belong where He rules and reigns...as Jesus proclaimed before us, "Our kingdom is not of this world"
We are Pilgrims in a strange land
We are so far from our homeland
With each passing day it seems so clear
This world will never want us here
Were not welcome in this world of wrong
We are foreigners who dont belong
We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world
We are envoys we must tarry
With this message we must carry
Theres so much to do before we leave
With so many more who may believe
Our mission here can never fail
And the gates of hell will not prevail
We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world
Jesus told us men would hate us
But we must be of good cheer
He has overcome this world of darkness
And we will soon depart from here
We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world
We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world
Spoken to His Messenger
