Did I Say Take Yourself Out

"Did I Say "Take Yourself Out Of The Game?"....And yet many of you have been doing just that!"

I heard and saw this message last week during a time of prayer and supplication before the Lord. I believe it is a corporate message and certainly not just for me alone, or for that ministry alone that I was interceding for.

As I was seeking wisdom from the Lord I saw a huge chess board and heard the word stand. I heard the words, "I am not telling you what chess piece you are. You will not know if you are a bishop, a knight, the king or a queen etc. What you are...is not your business but mine! Some of you will be sacrificed for the protection of others. But if you take yourself out of the game and run to distant places--(people less distant places where you imagine there is great peace and fishing etc.) You will be in disobedience! I have given each one of you territory! Do not run but instead spread out! (here I saw each one being stretched even further so that in the natural they looked to fall over as they stretched limbs out in each direction) I am preparing to make a BIG move and you must stand where I have placed you in the Holy Spirit. We will not lose what ground has been taken!"

The ground beneath your feet is shifting and moving where it feels as if you will topple. Some of you have lost dear friends in this time of testing and building and rearranging. I hear..."Did I not tell you I would NEVER leave you! You are my son, my precious daughter...my bride.....STAND Your ground though it seems to literally move beneath your feet!" I was lead to this psalm in regard to this ground moving. Psalm 18 verse 36....Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet do not slip..... I see the ground as molten lava....making the new with each inch it moves, bringing fire, bringing new life and even bringing renewal to the very ground which will be healed as even added nutrients arrive on the scene. I see YOU standing on pieces of solid ground that flow through this molten lava...so totally dependant on our Lord Jesus Christ for your safe deliverance. You thunder out the words to the Lord's ear.......GRACE Lord.....GRACE.....and He gives it! Because you stand your ground in this precarious position you now float (on the molten lava) to the NEW place where the captives have been waiting for deliverance.

I ask, because we are one in Christ Jesus, that you stand your ground. This is not some form of manipulation to get you to stay in a place or ministry you feel you are called to leave. We do not serve a God of confusion. In prayer and submission you will understand the spiritual territory you have been given that you are not to abandon. Much depends on the faithful obedience of the bride at this time.

(I love you and you are precious and unique and I want to know you more. I want to know what it is the Lord loves in you because you are different than me and stand in a place I am not called to stand.)

SHOUT it OUT you TRUTH bearers, fear NOT the faces of men & women! I hear...."My people PERISH for lack of vision. Do not keep them to yourself---- the tools I have given you! Wield them like a knife to cut away the lies and pride and putrid pus of the enemy so my people can recover and stand once again!" Love and Bless one another. God is SO good! He is so faithful! He has a plan and you are in it!

Submitted in the love of Jesus Christ for your prayerful discernment---Terri Derocher May you be built up and prepared for the purpose God created you for! Gardeners Come Forth!
