Words of Prophecy
* The "apathy" and the "lethargy" that many of
My children have "allowed" to affect them in this hour is an attack rooted in
demonic power and influence, and it is not something that one will walk above
apart from the power of My Spirit.
* "Making preparations" [moving forward in faith and obedience - even in the
small, seemingly insignificant things] "fuels" a holy expectancy in one's
heart for the fullness of the vision/blessing to come forth. The opposite is
fear and unbelief [leading to "hope
deferred"] which leads to a hopeless, lethargic and unproductive state of
existence.
"lethargic"-
the quality or state of being drowsy and dull, listless and unenergetic;
indifferent; lazy; apathetic or sluggish activity;
...."Hope
deferred makes the heart sick [one
disheartened], but [godly] desire
fulfilled is a tree of life".... Proverbs 13:12 NASB
"prolong" - to lengthen out in time;
extend the duration of; cause to continue longer;
"push the envelope" - to stretch
established limits;
"stagnant" -not flowing or running as
water, air etc.; characterized by lack of development, advancement, or
progressive movement;
"thrust" - to drive with force [the "forces" of the Kingdom - Love, faith, wisdom,
righteousness etc.];
* It is time for many
who have been in a prolonged "valley of decision" to "push the envelope" [through an absolute faith and trust in Me] as far
as their pursuit of the "fullness" of My Will for their life and ministry. For
it is ONLY in this way that they will be empowered [through the continual accessing of My Grace] to
rise above the lethargy, procrastination and "stagnancy" that has [up until this time] kept them mired in a place of
doubt, double-mindedness and mistrust. This is the hour in which I shall begin
to establish [and, in some cases,
re-establish] divine connections throughout My remnant Church - glorious
connections that will bring My faithful ones into the "fullness" of Covenant,
first with Me, and, then, with those that I have raised up for them [to help them] according to the fullness of My
purpose in this final hour. The spontaneous fruit of these "divine connections"
will be a radical increase of the "corporate anointing" in the midst of all
those who truly love Me throughout the earth - a radical increase [of unlimited Power] that will "thrust" [propel] My people into the "fullness" of their
precious destiny, in Christ [both individually and
corporately].
...."wake up the mighty men........ let the
weak say, I am strong".... Joel 3:9b, 10b KJV
...."Little
children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and
overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is
greater [mightier] than he who is in the world".... 1 John 4:4 The Amplified
Translation
...."But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you".... Romans 8:11
KJV
"lethargy"-
indifference; Gk: "lethargos" -
forgetful;
A "spirit of lethargy" attempts to produce a state of
"indifference" [apathy - lack of
devotion] in the child of God. The "physical symptoms" of attack
include excessive drowsiness, fatigue [lack of
energy] or abnormally deep [and
prolonged] sleep. "Food intake" [both
physical and spiritual - EXCESSIVE physical food intake and LACK of spiritual
food intake] is a key "tool" in any effective attack that "they"
[the evil spirits] attempt. When one
experiences an attack by this "spirit" they must simply "forge" ahead in perfect
obedience [the exercising of faith and love in
their present circumstances] ignoring the "physical symptoms", and as
they are faithful to continually speak [proclaim] the words [given by the Holy Spirit] that will take
authority over this evil spirit the Anointing that abides within them shall
surely "crush" the attack and drive that "spirit" into oblivion!
Another aim of a "spirit of lethargy" is to make one "forget"
previous spiritual experiences with [revelation
from] the Lord - through a sustained and oppressive attack [many times manifesting in heaviness] against
both the soul [mind, will, and
emotions]and the body. But it [the
"spirit of lethargy"]can only accomplish what it sets out to
accomplish if one chooses [allows
themselves] to walk by "sight" [be
moved by what they "feel, see, hear or think" - by taking the five physical
senses as their final authority] and NOT by faith [revelation]. For if they continue to walk by
faith and NOT by sight THEN they shall surely remain "above" the attack against
them [Ephesians 2:6] - for it is
certain that these evil spirits only have "dominion" in the "sense realm" [feelings - emotions] - through a
"maintained" ground of fear and
unbelief. |
