Revelation
“It was shown how in a big heart of the One who sits on the throne, seven stars were being birthed. They came out of His mouth one after another and were given to the One like the Son of Man, who took them in His right hand.
Then it was shown how the One like the Son of Man gave from the light of the seven stars into the hearts of the ones chosen by Him. The light from each of the seven stars entered the hearts of these people for them to be their servants next to their Angels.
It was shown how several ministers of the seven stars went their journey next to their Angels, and who entered in the radiant glory of the One like the Son of man seated on the throne. There were shown apostolic ministers of Russia who had completed their ministry journey and gave their deposit in the ministry of the light from the seven stars.
Further on it went in succession on us and from us and on.
This light spread forth not only through the mouth of the man of God, but through the mouths of the people that this light had entered. Thus this light from the seven stars kept multiplying on the earth”.
Revelation
“A powerful whirlwind of fire, which was connected to heaven. It was scary and seem to be able to burn all around, but actually after this whirlwind things came into order. Things that caused discomfort and pain to the earth were burned. Some people were really afraid of this whirlwind, because they were losing their income. But the whirlwind could not be stopped, it was moving to where it was sent”.
These are global things that are spoke of here. I understand, when the Lord gives dreams and visions, it means He wants to impart something that we should know. And here He is showing a global picture, communicating from the angelic realm, from the throne, demonstrating how the throne works; how from the throne come those seven spirits, seven stars, how angels interact with ministers, how the light is increasing all over the earth through those who received and carried it faithfully and then passed to the Son of Man into eternity, and the ministry continues through their disciples and followers. This is very valuable. As well as the whirlwind, which is scary, but it brings a different order, which carries life for those who are chosen.
When I preach I want to preach the word that is blazing in my heart. I have many topics on my list, but I don’t want to preach what is not blazing. I share thing that do touch
in the very deep, what burns me from within. Head is head, but heart is heart. And I want to inspire you to preach from your heart things that really engulf your heart.
I’ve been thinking about returning. When the prophet was praying once, and suddenly he heard a revelation, a prophecy:
“Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, o Lord God of hosts”. (Jer.15:16) – That is, the man had joy about the Word, was truly glad and thrilled with God’s Word.
“I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, nor did I rejoice; I sat alone because of Your hand, for You have filled me with indignation”. – The young prophet restrained himself, in order not to be one thing with world. He lived a separate life. He devoted himself to join both in the generation of the saints, and connect with the context of time then. As Jesus said, “as they persecuted Me so they will persecute you, as they received Me, they will receive you”. And the prophet identified with the context of time, when it could be said that the hand of the Lord was heavy on the saints. He couldn’t make up a joy for himself separate from the sinning people. But he identified both with the people and God’s heart, which for that time was expressed in the context of the “heavy hand”. The prophet did not reject it, he made no effort to escape this suffering, to isolate in his own imagined joy, but remained in his identification with the context of time.
“Why is my pain perpetual and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will You surely be to me like an unreliable stream, as waters that fail?” (Jer.6:18) – Here he starts to pour out his deepest things. First he speaks “correct”, but then he speaks honestly. This is very important to transit from correctness to honesty. And he starts saying was really was in his heart, not head. Why am I not healed? Why is there no cure? Why do You fail me as waters that fail? It was there yesterday, today it is no longer there. You go to this water, but it is gone or it is impure. What’s the matter with the water? The pain continues. These things says Jeremiah and awaits.
“This was the Lord answer – the Lord now starts speaking to him – if you return…” – Such a word, at once. Only the One who knows hearts can speak like that. He sees that his heart is not turned. He sees him as an unturned man. This is already chapter 15 of his prophecies. And He speaks straightforward, no greeting, no name – “if you return, I will bring you back (restore you)”. It means he is not turned, he is not returned a prophet.
He shows him his condition and starts pouring good into him: “Then I will bring you back; you shall stand before Me; if you take out the precious from the vile…” – this is in our hands – to make an analysis of our life. To take the precious from the vile means to make conclusions from what I have gone through and what I have and from there extract understanding of the ways of the Lord. Then you have an interpretation, this gift – “you shall be as My mouth” – you can speak like God, you are able to extract wisdom, tune it, you can speak about Me right, because you have learnt to take precious from the vile, and you shall be like My mouth.
“Let them return to you – that is, I will create this attraction – but you must not return to them”. There will be those who need you, your gift, they need your message, your life – they will drink from there and become strong because of that.
And here is a promise to those who have returned – this is restoration, standing before God, being God’s mouth and having attraction for those who are chosen, amidst God’s house, in your own comfortable environment.
“And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you” – there will be also those, right in God’s house, who will stand against. But you take comfort in the Holy Spirit, because you are a follower of Christ, not because other people suffer the same; don’t comfort yourself with someone else’s pain.
“For I am with you to save you and deliver you,” says the Lord. “I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.” – you shall overcome the opposition, the Lord will always be with you and you will walk in spiritual freedom.
Spiritual freedom is the highest freedom. I heard someone saying this great thing: “God is always on the side of freedom”. He chooses the side of freedom.
I’ve been thinking if it is possible to return completely, and what it means, complete return, what it means to give your life completely to God. I’ve been watching people, when they come to God one of the major issues is to what measure I can trust myself to Him. I think this is one of the most difficult things in believers’ lives – if I can really give it all. And each of us has as much as he has given. In fact, you open up a measure, and He fills it with Himself as much as you have opened. You remember, how Ruth held her shawl and he put those six measures in it. Six is the number of man, David says, “this is the manner of man, O Lord God”. That is the highest love the man has embraced and praised!
This is not an easy thing to do – to examine yourself and see to what measure you’ve given yourself to God. But I think, here it is a key question, if we have really given our all? I consider THIS a return.
The Lord speaks to the young prophet, who initially refused to accept this calling, and the Lord persuaded him, that even before he was conceived he was chosen and appointed to be a prophet: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jer.1:5) All this is needed, millions of people, descendants will need your messages. And he agrees to be a man of sign like Ezekiel, agrees not to live for himself. Think if Jeremiah lived for himself even a bit – would we have those chapters of the book? I am sure we wouldn’t. If he agreed to sometimes listen and sometimes not, if he desired to make a career and become a high priest and move among the elite? What if he didn’t give himself completely?
I am sure he experienced radical changes inside after this chapter 15. He then ministered on a serious level, was under persecution, went to suffer with His people into captivity, though he was offered good conditions to stay in Jerusalem. But he wanted to be with his people, to go with them, encourage and comfort them, prophesy to them – he was truly turned.
What does it mean for you – life of a man totally devoted to the Lord? It is widely spread when people give a part, like three evenings a week, and count what they’ve given – they speak like tradesmen. People totally given never count, they have different categories, different language, different symbols. This way we can bring things down to 30 silver coins, it won’t be more.
They say God is great businessman. I think God never does business. He is the Creator, not businessman. He seeks and waits for our hearts.
What I am saying is that we began our journey by faith, which must not end. And to what measure I am I turned? Can I really live my whole life having given myself to the Lord? Can you gather all your career, family, money, wellbeing of your children and give it all to the Lord? This doesn’t mean you just sit and do nothing, no. But inside your heart – have you trusted yourself to the Lord? Have you turned to the Lord in a true way? Without any complaint, have you received all things from the Lord, what Jeremiah received? Can you identify with one who is content, he came to Christ and this is sufficient for you? Is this status of God’s son or daughter enough for you?
This is very serious. For me this is most valuable that I don’t go to church, but I dwell with my heart in the Kingdom, I have it complete. Man doesn’t get wiser with the time. I think the whole point is in the intimacy with the Lord. And yes, you can give yourself completely to the Lord, you can trust your life to Him. Do not fear. This is a leap into the deep, into the unknown, but you’ve got to make it once.
