Keep going ON and ON and ON

[Ebn Barbara]

A special particular message from the Lord to each one of us today..
A message with a defined goal.. it holds the directions of the higher leader to His army in the middle of the aggressive battles they’re in..
A message that enlightens the road.. exposes the plans of the enemy.. takes away the smog and the haze the enemy and the hard circumstances are trying to put on the eyes of the believers, to disturb them, depress them, and take them out from the battle field.
Too many questions invades our minds in the midst of trials, wars and hard circumstances that we are facing in our battle with the devil and his kingdom:
What is happening with me?
Why am I going through these hardships?
Am I walking in God’s plan for my life.. or did I lose the way?
Why this boredom and this routine?
Where are the promises, the visions, the dreams, the prophecies and the fruit? Where.. and where?

To help you, let me tell you, that what you’re feeling is not strange to the Lord in the first place, and not strange to all the believers around the world, so you wont’ be deceived by the devil and think that what you’re going through is personal and has to do only with you and that you should deal with it.
Peter the apostle said to the believers:
" Who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire… " (1 Peter 1 : 5 – 7).
" Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world " (1 Peter 5 : 8 – 9).
There are two reasons for what you’re going through:
An aggressive war with the enemy.. A test to your genuine faith..
These trials, wars, failures, and effort and.. are experienced by all your brothers in the world !!!
And today I ask you to look at two persons:
The first One is the Lord Jesus of course, and the second is Paul the apostle:
" Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls " (Hebrews 12 : 2 – 3).

As He walked so we should walk, looking at Him to receive faith, power and joy, knowing that He bore too much, so we don’t get loose..
And He also said to us:
" These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world " (John 16 : 33).
Don’t underestimate these words.. for they expose the lies of the enemy, and answer the questions and the thoughts which the devil is putting in your mind, you are on the right track, and what is happening to you happens to all the true believers who decided to follow the Lord from all their hearts..
Paul also clarifies saying:
" For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me " (Philippians 1 : 29 – 30).
How beautiful is the word of God and its particularity, Paul describes the suffering and the trials we face for the sake of Christ and His service, as a gift, like if they are a present and a privilege to us.. this great apostle, after all he went through for the sake of Christ, and before he went to be with the Lord, said these words of gold:
" I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith " (2 Timothy 4 : 7).
Let’s be strengthened and encouraged.. let’s refuse every depression, failure, deception, and lies from the enemy, and let’s go on.. and on.. and on !!!
If I fall I will say:
" Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me " (Micah 7 : 8).
" For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again… ".
(Proverbs 24 : 16).

I will share with you words that a servant of the Lord once said, that will help you understand more this subject, and I will end with a special word from the Lord to many of you:
" I’ve found myself so amazed in this exciting season of my life, we always hear about the change that is being done, and it is obvious that this change will happen, for I feel it in my spirit, but from the other hand and in some areas of life, I see as if things are going on without any change, how hard it is to live in such a contradiction, the daily routine is repeated, we go dull as we are waiting for this change that we haven’t seen yet with our eyes, and to be honest I am not always at the exact spiritual level as I should, I am not on fire for the Lord as I should, although I have a great desire to be so, I feel I want to scream so loud, if I am going to go through this routine and dullness for one more day.
From one side we hear that heaven is touching earth and that angels are ministering with us on earth; on the other hand I am sitting in five o'clock traffic surrounded by honking cars with impatient drivers and not an angel in sight or at least that I am able to see... yet. And so I feel frustration stirring within me. And the surprising thing is that I can’t define the reason for what I am going through.
Is it physical due to the life’s stress that is bounding us, and because we can’t wait upon God?
Or is it the wars with the devil that are playing a big role in my suffering?
Or is it the Holy Spirit who is creating this anger in me, to lead me to a higher place to make me leave my interest in these ridiculous things that are bounding me?
And while I confess that what the Holy Spirit wants is the ultimate result that I should have, and while I find that what I am going through is boring, dull and depressive, I find that what will substitute my situation is not available yet, although I feel it in the air and coming soon.
I believe we are living in the days of “Laodicea” Church mentioned in the apocalypse, which is described by its lukewarm.
The Lord showed me something important, and this thing has to do with them and with us equally, and that is that the devil sent us from the pit of hell a great desire to draw us toward the spiritual lukewarm, and passivity.
And because we are living today in a world controlled by the god of leisure and entertainment, and because of the ability to get the many news and information available around the world, this has played a big role in solving the problem of routine and dullness that we suffer from, by calming us and putting us in coma, and by desires growing more and more inside of us, so we started to anesthetize ourselves by these things, specially when faced by hardships, trials and the daily challenges of life, and let me tell you that it is easy for all of us to fall in this trap, and these are the wishes of hell.
But the Lord gave the “Laodiceans” a salve to their eyes to see, and he told them that he is standing at the door of their church knocking, and if someone heard him and opened the door, he will enters in again.
I don’t doubt that the miracles and the amazing things that the Lord promised us are coming no doubt, my spirit feels it, and the Lord gave me a picture when I asked Him to let me taste how good and pleasant He is, and this picture will help you understand more clearly:
The Lord saw me two swings one swinging facing the other, and He showed me myself sitting on one of them, which represents my actual life with all the struggles I told you about, but in order for me to taste the goodness and the sweetness of the Lord and the fulfillment of His promises, I would have to let go of the old swing completely and grab hold of the other one. I couldn't experience what I wanted until I had let go completely of the first swing.
But there was nothing I could hold on to or lean on until I reach the second swing, then I knew that there will be a time for me when I will be in the air, until I reach the other swing, and there is nothing for me to hold on to, to make this move.
I think, this is the place where we all are now, before we move to what the Lord is preparing for us, to taste and see how good and pleasant He is. Although we don’t see the second swing now yet we should leave the old one completely, and not doubt that the new one is coming and it will be wonderful and amazing, but now we are still in the air between the two, just waiting !!!
And to be realistic, this is not comfortable and it is a bit depressive..
But with a leap of faith we will grab the new with a strong grip while we are soaring in the heavenlies with the Lord !!! ".
At the end the Lord is telling you:
“I want you to see yourself like the plant called “morning glories”, this is a very strong plant, even if hit by the sun the whole day it will remain fresh and shining in the morning, even though sadness and weary may last all the night, trust that the joy will shine in the morning, I will bring you a new level of joy, and I will put in your hands a new level of revival, and what you felt was oppressing you down, what you saw crushing you, you will see it lifting you up in the coming days, and if you thought I was crushing you, truly I was lifting you up, I will lift up with power all that was crushed, I will lift up firmly, I will lift up greatly. I came to you, I saw your disgrace, and I have conquered for you. Look to the morning for a new hope from my glory, look to the morning for a new release for my name, look and taste that I am good and pleasant, when who I AM was shown and complete, I rose from death, and many of you when they will be complete in Me they will rise from their death, many of you will go up to the hills, to the mountains in these days because of my name, and although many were crushed from many sides, yet I protected them from perishing. You can’t kill the “morning glories” plant, what you see seems dead no doubt, but it will rise and blossom again. You can look at the ground where you planted this plant and see what is sown around it, you will be surprised how this plant continued growing although there was no appropriate environment for it to grow. Many dogs stamp on it and eat from it, and cut its leaves and blossoms, yet it grows again and blossoms again. You cut it but it comes back and blossoms, you prune it yet it comes back to grow and blossom again. And here I want you to know that when I open a road, it shall be open, and no one can close it. it doesn’t matter what you’ve done or haven’t done, or what you will do, it doesn’t matter what you’ve missed, where you’ve missed, and where you’ve tried to do things with your own power, the morning glory is coming back ”.

Beloveds: while we’re looking at the “Morning Glories” plant or at ourselves, in these places where you think that you’ve missed reaching to the glory, or that you lost the destination, or messed up with things, where you think that things will not happen or come, where the finances are bad, and your spouse is treating rudely, the hardships are many, the diseases are on your way, the fruit is little, lukewarm is controlling the place, worry and fear are controlling your life and.. and…
Let me tell you: The Lord is coming.. He is coming back to you, and in His coming you will rise and be promoted to a new level of understanding, and what you think has past by and gone, will return, because He said “ I Am who I Am”.
And at the mention of His name, every knee will bow and tongue will confess that He is Lord.

Rise.. ascend.. return back.. don’t let the winds and the storms of circumstances which you’re going through prevent you from growing and moving to enter through the door the Lord has set for you, and don’t let the smog hide this door from your sight !!!
Let’s reject the lukewarm and passivity invitations the devil is sending to us as a solution to what we’re facing of hardships and wars, and let’s recognize that what we’re going through is not limited by us, and it is not a sign that we’re out of God’s plan, because all the true believers around the world face the same thing, it is a gift and a privilege to us like Paul says, jump out from the old swing, hold on to the Lord and soar with Him in the heavenlies, and hold on to the new the Lord is preparing for you even before you see it, be like the “morning glories” plant which remains fresh, shining and blossoming no matter what. Believe that all which has gone and passed by will return, because the Lord will return with a special visitation to you, He will fix all that which was smashed, He will restore all that which was lost, and He will take you to a new level, to the land of fulfilling the promises, the dreams, the visions and the prophecies, to the land of much fruit.
Keep going ON and ON and ON !!!
