What a priveledge to be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus beloved. Can you fathom the depths of Jesus Christ that He invited the entire Body of Christ to abide in Him?
I dwell in Zion beloved and desire the Body of Christ to dwell there with Me. Defilement will find it hard to stand in My presence of lately but will rest in complacent sanctuaries void of My spirit and skeptical of My hand.
I Am infinite beloved and Am always forward thinking. However, My forward movement in the earth is dependant upon the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ must be willing to submit herself to the authority of the Holy Spirit for My kingdom purposes in the earth. My son Jesus Christ submitted Himself to My will and kingdom purposes in the earth. Christ is now seated at My right hand. Is it any wonder that His love for you usurps the universe that He might intercede for you in and out of time.
For example, because the Lamb of God was slain before the foundation of the world, Christ had you in mind while He was on the tree of Calvary. Christ was fully aware of the full of contents of the book I have for you and delighted Himself in despising the cross for your glory. What is your glory beloved? Your glory is to align yourself with My will for you in the earth and complete your assignment using the gifts and talents I gave you. Intellect is a gift, ask the ostrich, for she too is fearfully and wonderfully made.
The Body of Christ only need use mustard seed faith to complete the assignment My son Jesus Christ gave her. Is there any relevance for My son Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the earth outside of the resurrection? The answer is no. The death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ aforded you the opportunity to be filled with, led by and controlled by the same spirit that raised Him from the dead. Yes, Christ Jesus died to forgive your sins, save your soul and grant you eternal life with Me; He’s just as forward thinking as I Am in hopes that the things He did, you would do and more. That is good news beloved! That is good news for us beloved!
Is it possible that the anti-Christ, the man, is already in the earth beloved? Do you think he knows he’s the anti-Christ? My Sovereignty is real. I Am a very loving and tender hearted father.
When the sanctuary is created in business model fashion, it is easy for strangers to come in and defile My sanctuary, My will, My word and presence designed to encourage, equip, strenghthen, correct and direct My people for continued productivity in My spirit, outside the sanctuary; in their daily lives. Strangers often come bearing strange fire. Jesus Christ left the Holy Spirit to help the disciples. The disciples who became apostles were baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire.
It was the expectation of Christ that those instructed by His disciples would themselves be baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire. Sheep aren’t meant to remain babes but should grow strong and to full stature over time. Sheep are meant to duplicate themselves as living epistles of Christ’ gospel message outside the church in their homes, workplaces, communities and so on.
The shepherds who have devoured My sheep must repent, and turn back to Me, their first love and the gospel, their saving grace. Ah, I heard you beloved, you said “but Abba, what about the tares coming up with the wheat?”. Good question beloved, notice, wheat and tares represent the flock itself not leadership. Jesus Christ of Nazareth referenced hirelings and the Apostle Paul referenced raviging wolves that would come into the fold after he was gone. The prophet Isaiah spoke of those believers who have Me on their lips but far from their hearts. Does this answer your question beloved? If not, pray fervently in asking the Holy Spirit to unfold the understanding of this matter to you and He will.
I desire that none should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the saving grace found only in Christ Jesus. The grace found in Jesus Christ is eternal and timeless, it’s never to late beloved. For I shall make bear My Holy arm before all nations for My kingdom purposes and the salvation of the multitudes.
As the husband is the head of the wife and the stronger vessel, and as My spirit sets things in order in greater measure, so shall I begin to address the men in My house first. The hirelings and wolves leading houses called by My name have refused My chastening and have refused to submit to the yoke of My son Jesus Christ and opted for putting yokes upon My people for their selfish gain.
There are six things, even seven that I hate but My son Jesus Christ hates lawlessness. Christ Jesus said wisdom is known by her children, I say lawlessness is also known by her children.
I shall soften the hearts of men who hate Me and shall gather them to Myself to heal their wounds and strenghten their resolve to consider a relationship with My son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I shall soften the hearts of those in My house who hate Me, for many have served Me faithfully for years, however, in recent years their hearts have grown cold and they serve Me on cruise control and auto-pilot. I love them very much and Am aware of their anguish of heart from hope deferred, My ears are open to their cry.
For there are many who have been obsessed with the care of Christ’s bride to the neglect of their own. Through My wisdom and instruction, Nehemiah understood the need to rebuild the walls first, then the temple. I will strenghten the Body of Christ to repair breaches and rebuild the walls of their flocks, the families in their flocks and so on, in the face of increased persecution. The joy of the Lord is her strength.
The agents of the kingdom of darkness open the doors and gates of the weak to expose their nakedness where by they may be crushed, humiliated, laid bear to the raveging of their souls. Have I not called My sons by the mouth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and the Apostle Paul take the gospel message to the ends of the earth, and preach repentance toward God and salvation toward men? Shall My sons not work with Me in taking My people from glory to glory in, for and by My Holy Spirit?
Do not fear the persecution to come. It is the coming persecution that will cause many to fall away. Yet at the same time, My unfailing love that heals wounds, delivers those oppressed of the devil and lifts the heavy burden will draw as many that fall away and more, to Me, My heart, My house and My flock. Be strengthened with might, in your inner man, according to the glorious power that works within you beloved.
For by My son Jesus Christ were all things created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Christ Jesus is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Christ Jesus of Nazareth is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have preeiminence.
Pray fervently for your shepherd beloved. Pray for the strength of your shepherd and his family. Pray for yourself and those in the flock with you. The prayers of the righteous avail much. Through Jesus Christ, you are holy, blameless and above reproach in My sight. You must fight the good fight of faith beloved to remain confident in My love for you and confident in the revelation that My mercy endures forever.
My mercy and forgiveness transcend time. My ancient enemy is your accuser, although he may use those close to you to accuse you. I beloved, Am not your accuser, therefore you must stand in that truth when facing the onslaughts and wiles of accuser of the brethren. I Am Sovereign and retain the right to chasten those I love. Sin comes with its own wages beloved.
Repent and seek My face, not My hand. I told King David to seek My face. Why did the Apostle Paul say to the early church “I would not have known sin apart from the law, and I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said thou shalt not covet”? Perhaps Paul’s eggregious mistreatment of Christians was not only his zeal for the law but also veiled envy of the power Christ followers demonstrated in continuing His work upon the earth.
Beloved, you have been delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into the kingdom of the son of My love. I believe in My son’s bride. I believe she will allow herself to be used by My Holy Spirit to gather the lost, soften hard hearts, example the fruits of the spirit and the strength of My saving hand in response to My love for her.
I believe My son’s bride to be a bride of prayer, in a house of prayer and intercession, diligent to make herself ready for My sons return. I believe she loves My son enough to invite everyone to their wedding feast and make sure that proper wedding garments have been provided for all in attendance for My son purchased the garments for everyone before the foundation of the earth.
I, Michele Burrell, attest this to be the end of this prophetic word of encouragement to the Body of Christ in the United States of America. I welcome you to share this word with fellow believers in and followers of Jesus Christ, and judge it.
Shalom
Michele Burrell, servant of the Lord Jesus Christ
