Expansion on unity and what I see God doing.
With the Heaven's Saints M/M there has been a fun, hard, bad, fleshly, graceful, merciful, etc.. period of growth in the Lord. The 1st year was of us determining if this is where we are to be or not. Some stayed, others left. 2nd year was about facing ourselves and much conflict, battles personal and body wise. The hardest year of our walk in Christ for most of us. This was a year of learning to stand in all things. To shake the dust off of our pants when we stumbled or fell and say, 'Even so Lord, I follow You!!' 'What else is there!?' Many times of doubt, of temptation the desert and wilderness constantly at our side as we walked along the edge of the cliff ready to fall back in anytime. And DID fall back most of the year! But this was an extremely important place of growth and maturity for those who stood. 3rd year is a year of relationships.

A year of coming together, drawing closer, even in the face of extreme emotionalism or anger. Realizing that we CAN trust each other, as man goes. That we DO love each other, as the Lord has enabled. That there IS more and He is faithful. A time in which many were hurt, angered, and yet came back and stood. It has recently become a time of deep searching of our hearts as the Lords light is revealing much at this time. And those I saw as most unable to get past self are the very ones that the Lord has used to usher in this time of revealing and forgiveness and love and humbling ourselves in front of each other. In confessing to each other, in caring for each other, in praying for each other, in obedience to stand and wait upon the Lord. Some in obedience out in the battle for souls often. How precious THESE are! A side note: I see how this thing of unity works! I see it more clearly now than ever before. As we shed our masks (those things which the light is/has been revealing in our hearts, known and unknown) if we confess them to one another, and repent of them and give them up to the Lord, He is faithful and takes them from us. And as we see that those we confess to still have a heart for us, we are drawn not only closer to them, but to the heart of God. That very place which seems so illusive to us and we have such a hard time understanding how to reach. His heart! How awesome is our Lord YHVY! He is nurturing us, feeding us from the breast of El Shaddai. And His breast have been much swollen for some time desiring to feed His children. Many tears have been wept over the grief of the Spirit in this. But be encouraged to keep on keeping on in this thing! It is this that draws us near to His heart and gives us nourishment from God. Walking the walk and not just talking the talk. Believing in Him above all else to accomplish what He has started in each and everyone of us and corporately as well. IT IS through love we move and function as a complete body, united in Messiah Yeshua. Not ideology, tradition of man, and doctrines of division. It is through barring our hearts to each other and Him we become one in spirit. It is only when we come to this that we can truly come into agreement in our prayers and supplications before YHVY. We HAVE to come to trust and love and acceptance between ourselves in the Lord before we can come to agreement. For as we pray, we still look to others opinions and thoughts of us, our own sin and iniquities become a place of battle in most every prayer, we cant even wait upon our Lord for all the distractions of the things that so easily distract us from Him and truth. The answer in here. And when this comes before each of us it seems like such a huge, terrifying mountain. But such are we as to give a GOOD report, that which is in us is MUCH greater than that which is before us! Once we do this thing, we look back and say, 'THAT was what hindered me Lord!?!?!?' 'It is such a SMALL thing!' Just as we will see Satan when all is done, all is accomplished in the end.

Now I am speaking to issues of growth and maturity, of obedience, not salvation (I don't believe). But so fully worthy! This is a part of that which will bring the body in to true unity and maturity in Christ. A bride, spotless, pure in love, devotion, and obedience to the Bridegroom. INTIMATE!

These past 3 years we have come far, as is seen by man, but have much farther to go in truth. We are now entering a time also of restoration. And this is also true of many other parts of the body. As each comes into true unity, at the proper time, many will be linked together. Places of refuge, places of anointing and empowerment, places of teaching and growth and all places of discipleship in Christ.

In this we also will find much ridicule, accusation, persecution eventually. And this I fear mainly from the established church and then government. A separation is now upon us at this time of restoration. The Lord is going to restore ALL that has been stolen from the body! In this will also be much battle and pain, because we do not understand the scope of all of this. Many things will SEEM as though Satan is trying to steal, but it will be the Lord taking it out to return, replace with the real. The counterfeit has been in charge for to long. Now comes the real.

So be encouraged Saints! Rejoice even in the times of the coming trouble. For such darkness as comes may never have been seen before, but then neither has such light!

Part 1 of ????

May the Lord our God bless and keep each and everyone of you. May His light shine upon your hearts and reveal all that is there for His good will and glory. And may the bride, the body of Christ be complete and full.
Shalom
Lazarus
