Invitations & Grantings

There is fruit and then there is good fruit. There are testimonies and then there are good testimonies. The last days will test your fruit. Have you ever purchased fruit that looked amazing on the outside, only to partake of it and find it to be rotten on the inside?

One of my favorite preachers, Dr.Iverna Tompkins, who is with Me now was asked if she ever resented the call upon her life. Dr.Tompkins said she didn’t resent the call because she had been taught to experience God. Furthermore, Dr.Tompkins also said “We have raised a whole generation who has not experienced God”.

When you eat fruit beloved, you partake of its wholeness, piece by peace (I can spell…) being mindful in the moment to observe its outer, inner and seed places. The presence of God affects fruit. If you can’t discern your help, how can you discern your enemy?

Psalm 34:8 invites the reader to taste and see that indeed, the Lord is good. Tests yield up testimonies. Dr. Iverna Tompkins also said “If you can come through trial, tribulation and trouble and still know  how good God is, you are not reprobate”.

Time will expose all things, including the hearts of men. Beloved, I would prefer a seat at the table of your heart as opposed to a seat in your purse. I love you beloved, with all My heart. I long to come to you in greater measure and reveal Myself to you. Will you receive My invitation beloved? Will you open the door when the messenger arrives with invitation in hand through the preaching and teaching of the gospel message in the earth?

Please don’t shy away from Me because of My servants who have abused your trust and minimized your value to Me. I Am just as confounded as you are when those who once tasted the goodness of God through grace and the Holy Spirit turn back to the world and profane the cross. Spiritual abuse is real beloved. Wisdom will lead you to seek counsel when you need it and all need it. King Solomon said there is safety in a multitude of counsel. My Holy Spirit is a counselor too beloved, don’t forget Christ Jesus purchased your access to dial Him directly.

I have heard the cry of the Body of Christ and have given her more time. More time doesn’t constitute a change in the times, these are still the days of Noah. Gird up the loins of your mind beloved. Be instant in and out of season, ready to give an answer for your faith in the face of the one who reproaches you.

My son Jesus Christ of Nazareth granted His disciples the invitation to take His yoke upon them and learn of Him. Enoch accepted My invitation to walk with Me. Enoch learned not to run ahead of or lag behind Me, but to stay in step with Me. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the vine and you are the branches, apart from Him beloved, you can do nothing. In lieu of My granting the Body of Christ more time, it would be wise not to despise the days of small beginnings…there’s a mystery there. No man has been granted knowledge of the return of Christ Jesus; only God knows. Man can speculate through the wisdom and knowledge afforded him, but only God knows the day of Christ Jesus’s second coming.

Time is of the essence, time is money, don’t waste time beloved, halting between two opinions, let your yes be yes and your no be no, anything apart from this is sin. To everything there is time and a season. Contrary to popular opinion, time is and has always been, and will always be in the hands of El Bara, creator of heaven, earth and hell. His mercy endures forever, though He took vengeance on their deeds, His mercy still endures. Rain falls on the crops of the just and the unjust.

Abraham waited patiently for the promise and became My beloved friend in the process. I experienced Abraham’s righteousness in trusting Me enough to wait for the fulfillment of the promise. Is it any wonder I counted him worthy to be called the father of many nations? Abraham counted the cost and accepted the invitation to be My friend. Isaac and Jacob were the recipents and beneficiaries of the promises wrought through My friendship with their father and grandfather. I Am Sovereign beloved, have I not kept My promise to bless My friends son’ Ishmael despite a difficult situation?

King Xerxes of Persia granted Queen Esther an invitation to proceed into his presence in the face of death. My son Jesus Christ of Nazareth was crucified outside of the holy city as a type and picture (among many types and pictures) of those outside the promise being grafted in. I have a remnant beloved, out of whom shall flow rivers of living waters, abundance and blessing.

I made all men in My image. I formed Adam from the dust of the earth. Every man regardless of hue is an expression of My image in the earth. James spoke to the early church and asked them how it was that clean water and dirty water proceed from the same fountain in that they praise God with their tongue and devour their brother made in the image of that same God.

May I share My heart with you beloved? Do you know what My favorite hue is among all hues of humans I created? I love you so much beloved and Am excited at your willingness to listen to My heart. There is a place in My creation that produces the deepest hue of man, a hue so deep and rich it’s almost blue, not your blue, My blue, midnight blue, barely delectable. In this hue of midnight blue, I Am reminded of the mysteries. Sometimes I can’t help but stare because I know I’ve hidden mysteries there.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of Kings to search it out. My son Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s hue is tanned olive. The Apostle Paul was charged with stewarding the mysteries of the age for such a time as this. Go figure beloved, such a time as this still applies to the Body of Christ.

I love you beloved, I say it a lot because I mean it a lot. I love spending time with you in spirit and in truth. The more time we spend together affords Me opportunity to share My heart with You and hear yours too. Just remember, there are a lot of counterfeit spirits feigning holiness and friendliness to vye for your affections and steal your heart from Me. Remember beloved, I will never trespass upon you, My ears are ever open to the cry of the righteous. I will never steal from you, strong arm your will, coerce or manipulate you in anyway. Whosever will, let Him come.

Healthy churches and fellowships experience My presence often and without measure in relation to what they can handle. Just ask beloved, then be patient while I answer, I’ll lead you by My spirit to places of My presence. I know its late into the early morning and the sun is coming up. I love our time together as much as I loved it when Jesus Christ of Nazareth would steal away from the disciples and come before Me in prayer. May I share one more portion of My heart with you beloved before you go?

Great! I’ll share quickly. In this season, I will be El Quanna to my daughters in the earth. I will heal their father wounds with the faithfulness of My presence and answer the cry of their heart. Did you catch that beloved, the allegorical school of thought also known as the drash in the Pardes? I will be El Quanna to the women who have received My son Jesus Christ’s invitation…and the Body of Christ.

Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. When you seek My face and not My hand, by default, I grant you My hand. I would much rather you seek to know Me beloved, that I might take your hand, not through coercion or deception, but as a righteous father would and walk this journey of life together. My son Jesus Christ came that you might have life and life more abundantly.

I, Michele Burrell, attest this to be the end of this word of encouragement to the Body of Christ. I welcome you to share it with other believers in and followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and judge it.

Shalom

Michele Burrell, servant of the Lord Jesus Christ

I am a garden of the Lord, weeded by heavenly discipline and guarded by divine authority.
