THE CLOCK (TIME) HAS STOPPED

(for a split second)

April 6, 2009

"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange was happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed

when His Glory is revealed." 1 Peter 4:12-13.

This morning my excitement was still rising as I sensed what He is doing and of it's imminence to spring on the scene. I heard this loud crash in the living room. I thought, what did one of the kitties do now? After looking around I found a clock from the wall had fallen (nail had come out of the wall), the clock was laying face down and the battery was thrown across the floor.

As I picked up the clock and tuned it over, HE spoke:

"The clock, 'time' has stopped for a split second, signaling the 'end and the beginning' as a simultaneous event. Now the clock face is right-side up again and even in the mist of tribulation, even in the midst of men seeking to tear down and destroy countries and My own....now you will see time begin once again, but it is your living God who will move forward with MY agenda, will you move with me, or will you still seek after the world and it's happenings?"

As I placed the battery in the clock and it began working again, He spoke once more -

"Now, I have begun in earnest My plans to bring them to completion, and complete them I will and a people will see and experience My Glory as never before.

Yes, you have stumbled but you have found out I AM is with you, and you are precious in my sight.

You have found that it is impossible to please ME without faith and now you have seen that if you are so captivated by your own needs, only seeing what is around you in the natural, then you cannot possibly see 'ME as REALITY' behind it. For only the I AM is real, not what you can see - but you have faith in what you cannot see, and I will reward you in a reality you will see and taste thereof...

As My saints of the past, you were chosen. As Enoch, you have been walking with your God, not exempt from troubles, but still walking with the I AM and you saw what I did with him. As Noah, you have been walking with your God and preparing without ever seeing the rain! As Moses, you consider the reproach of Christ as greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for you have been looking forward to the reward. By faith you have left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of any person, people, president, king or government, who you can see but you walk forward because you see the I AM who is unseen. You have witnessed persecution, even at the hands of My own - you have seen poverty, exile and your body wracked with pain - every kind of imprisonment that would seek to keep you bound. But you are also seeing that My reward is "real" and in a way that your worldly goods, your bank account, others and even your body is not ... for you see just what your God will do!

Now as the clock stopped for a split second, you see as never before, as I began the clock again, that your 'focus' has to be on Me and that as I move forward, so do you! You expect, and you can see your reward coming in great Glory! Watch and Expect the Glory"- for My new time has begun.
