Roads to Zion

 

9/11/89

 

 

 

Embrace endurance from the Lord.  Seek and pray for it.  Pray for those called to this work God is doing in His Church.  You have longed for deliverance and even judgment but there is a preparation before the wind of Holiness can blow.  This is the preparation of roads back to Zion being prepared from every place where My people have been scattered.  They are prepared by those sent deep into captivity in order to overcome through faith in the revelation of My finished Work and My Kingdom ‑ who have laid their lives down to endure and prove My Word ‑ by faith and patience to inherit the promises.  Pray for this power for it comes from Me ‑ you cannot do it!

 

If My judgments were to come now and My Wind to blow, many would be lost and blown away.  But I am preparing roads to Zion for My people to flee to Zion and I am casting up highways to Myself through the suffering and endurance of My called ones.  They will arise as beacon lights and sign posts in the day of My Wind to help those who had no root.

 

Embrace this work of endurance ‑ see it as vital and necessary ‑ never confuse it with laying down the vision of My Will and Kingdom but rather being empowered to endure with expectant hope of deliverance.  It is a work ‑ a great work ‑ a necessary work for I am a God of mercy.  You are tired of the corruption, blindness, and idolatry of My people but apart from My grace, you too are blind and idolatrous.  I desire that none be lost.

 

So be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of My glory to exercise every kind of endurance and patience, perseverance and forbearance with joy, giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified and make you fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints ‑ this portion is to suffer with Christ and make up whatever is still lacking of Christ's afflictions for the sake of His Body which is the Church.

 

So let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work so that you may be a people perfectly developed, lacking in nothing.

 

I know your work and what you are doing.  I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut.  I know you have but little power and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My Name.  If you guard and keep My Word of patient endurance, hold fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you, I will also keep you safe from the hour of trial which is coming to try the whole earth.  See that you go on in this ‑ that you don't lose your reward.  I am coming soon.

 

So embrace this and long for this calling and exercise it fully.  It is from Me and for Me and for the sake of My Kingdom and I give to you freely if you will receive it.
