BEFORE THE SECOND WIND

A Word to ponder

5/21/00

O My dove, let Me hear your voice; for I have set My Name upon you and chosen you for My very own. My wife, My dear one. I hear your sighs by reason of heavy taskmasters. Your weight is heavy. The burden of your load is extremely difficult. I groan as I know and feel your pain!

Dear Father I pray for My beloved. I love My bride! I want to breathe upon her a second wind of refreshing. Even as in the days of Your first wind, I want to endue her with power. The battle has been long and under the strain of her load she has fallen, not knowing which way is up. Hear her cries for help and send her mercy. For I long to send her mercy, I long to bless her with My second wind of refreshing.

Father help her to choose the right path — the pathway of holiness. For only in that path can she overcome the insurmountable odds sent against her. Even now the deceiving antichrist spirit is in the world. The only way she can overcome this is to cut off its luring passions and lusts. My bride has been lured into carnal entertainment and this deceptive spirit is stealing the heart of My wife! Instead of being washed pure by the water of Your Word, she has fallen into compromise through the brainwashing of carnal filth.

Give her mercy and operate on the cataracts that blind her vision. Let her see the deception and return to Me, her Husband. Give her grace to turn from her appetites for self gratification For the pain from her taskmasters is great and she knows no way out but to comfort her own flesh. Oh Father she is so close to death! Help her to sever this, for this same spirit that is mesmerizing her to sleep and compromise is also the same spirit that will one day trodden her under foot. The only way to escape that day is the pathway of holiness.

Even now We are measuring the temple that encompasses those who dwell in My most holy place; those who have separated themselves from the outer courts of the world. Even now You are offering this same grace to others, to cut off the death grip of carnality. And even now You are offering access for those to come into Your most holiest place.

My bride can not hunger for the spirit of the world and also hunger for the Holy Spirit. She can not have one foot in the outer court and one foot in the holy place. She must choose. I long to endue My wife with My power! Help her to choose the One Who loves her with eternal passion!

I long to endue My wife with My power! I longingly wait for My bride! I want to roll away the reproach of her sins. I want to empower her for service. I want to breathe upon her and send her reversal — where she is no longer the tail but the head. Where she tramples on the head of the enemy and she delivers the captive and heals the sick! She longs for My touch! She longs for My wind of refreshing. She longs for My power! Father hear My prayer and give mercy to My beloved bride. Please help her to climb up upon the highway of holiness and come to Me. And as she chooses Me, breathe upon her and let the enduement of Your power come!
