This grief bent me double and I could hardly stand. I prayed. Let me comfort You, Father in Jesus name. I said, I am so very sorry that so many will not hear You and seek Your will. He showed me a small square of woven and torn fabric that was enclosed within His hand. It was plaid and had many strings of raveled thread around the edges. It was not a very large remnant, but He held it in His hand with such protection and love that I knew this was where His heart was tearing in the frailty of the remnant. The remnant He held so lovingly was like the love that a babe has for their favorite blankie, only greater because it was pure love from The Father. Each thread that was coming apart from this remnant was so special to Him. Again, His love and the powerful tenderness of His love bent me further.
Father, I asked, what can I do to comfort You? I saw His giant tears falling again. The grieving was so great I could no longer speak nor stand.
WORD OF THE LORD
He said, the threads that you
see
coming
out from the remnant cloth are My sons
and daughters in the ministries that I called them to. They are
unraveling
because they have left their first love to work their own works in
serving
Me. They call their ministries by their own name and stand in honor
before
each other. They speak of Me but, not for Me. They have woven their own
cloths of sparking silver and gold in their own successes by their own
works. I grieve because of this, the directions of their feet in
service.
These loose threads have come apart in raveling from the center of the
remnant. They have scheduled their services so far in advance for their
own gain of money that they are falling away from the oneness of
purpose
in the gospel of service. My Son Jesus did not promote Himself nor His
ministry. He walked My daily will and sought oneness with Me. It was He
who prayed for oneness in unity with Me.
The loosened threads are about to come apart from the whole and this grieves Me greatly, says The Lord. There will be many, many, names that are about to fall before the eyes of My people. They will be shaken and shaken and torn apart as these first threads are allowed to fall from My hand and out of the remnant piece. These are the ones that stand alone in glorying in themselves and their own ministries. Many of these are My called ones who have worked works in their own choosing, using the name of Jesus. They have been successful in this world and in their own ministries. They have gathered in much for themselves and not dispersed.
Among My people
there
is great wealth
and also great shame.
Those who have not are given My Word and instructed to go gather into themselves their own successes. I would that My people saw the needs of each other as their own and freely turned to give without proclamation. Giving, sharing in oneness, caring in oneness, will birth unity among My people. Unity is the thread that will strengthen My people.
All of My
people have
specific functions within the body. All are not called to finance. All
are called to pray and to love one another. Walls exist between those
who
have and those who have not. It is time for both reaping and sowing in
great measure. My leaders shall disperse by My expressed will daily.
Let
the song in Israel be the song of oneness. This remant people are those
of My heart and are within My hand says The LORD. Pray one for another.
Give one to another. Build Me a holy remnant people, as temples not
made
by hands but of callings in My love. Each thread is singlely woven into
the remnant. Each thread is of importance to the whole, just as each
body
part is needed within the body.
you will see a great tapestry
even among the remnant threads.
Cry
repent, the
kingdom
of heaven is at hand and the remnant piece is unraveling swiftly.
My heart is pierced with this immortal grieving. Father, forgive us all
in JESUS name. Have mercy.
Isaiah
1
1)
The vision of
Isaiah
the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the
days
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2)
Hear, O heavens,
and
give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and
brought
up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3)
The ox knoweth
his
owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my
people
doth not consider.
4) A
sinful nation,
a
people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are
corrupters:
they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel
unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5)
Why should ye be
stricken
any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the
whole heart faint.
6)
From the sole of
the
foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and
bruises,
and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up,
neither
mollified with ointment.
7) Your
country
is
desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour
it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8)
And the daughter
of
Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of
cucumbers,
as a besieged city.
9) Except the LORD
of
hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have
been
as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
