CLIMAXES IN THE LAODICEAN CHURCH INTERCESSION  2/08/07 

 

THE INTENSITY OF OUR GOD

I once received a vision (and several afterwards) of wrestling with the prince over the famine for the Word of God... that vision ended with the words, “Hell hath no fury like a women scorned.”  I am at the climaxing tail end of a very long 23 year long intercession over the Laodicean church and trying desperately to hang onto those on the line of demarcation, that are ready to fall off the cliff toward the wrong side.  

 

I now understand a part of God I never saw before, the part that loves so deeply and fiercely and has nothing but goodness to give His loved ones.  And yet even so, they close off their hearts and refuse His Words and are so independent and prideful that they do not even realize their need for Him.  I understand a part of His nature that I never knew before... the fine line in His emotions where one can not distinguish between His jealous passion to have relationship with us and His fury and wrath when He feels scorned.  His emotions are very intense, and we are so lukewarm we dont even know how passionate our God is over us. 

 

Today I prayed a prayer, that those who are in that lukewarm place, having tested God's goodness and loving knocks, that He do whatever it takes to convince them of their need for Him.  And I also prayed that He would protect the righteous ones who walk in the trembling fear of their God.  The Lord told me I understood His heart and the need for what is coming.  I think that it comforted Him that I understood Him.  And then I was filled with the most horrendous grief, knowing He feels absolutely no pleasure at all in releasing His severe side, for He loves us so much and finds no joy in our sufferings, only intense grief.  The only appeasement He receives from this is when we finally repent and return to Him.  How little we know of the true love of our God.

 

1 John 4:16-18  NLT

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world.   Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us.

 

HEARDYou are absolutely right. 

 

HEARDNaked.  The Lord is about to give us His passion like we have never seen before. 

 

VISION:  I saw the wild mustang horses that I have seen so many times.  These are prodigals who are running from their callings, who are not planted in fellowship and wander in the wilderness.  These beautiful horses were eating the green grass in a lush field.

 

HEARDIt was announced, you did the right thing.  I AM with you. 

 

PIXI saw a pony express rider taking off like a bullet out of town with important news. 

 

Rom 11:22 NLT

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe to those who disobeyed, but kind to you as you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.

 

Amos 8:11 NKJV

"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.

 

Rev 3:14-22 NKJV  The Lukewarm Church

"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:  15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.  16 So then, because you are lukewarm , and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.  17 Because you say,'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked —   18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.  19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.  20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.  22 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'"

GOD’S FIERCE GRASP OF LOVE

 

When in prayer, the Lord took me high up into His Cloud of His glory. I saw neither angel nor any other being, on the pure glory and high wonder of Jesus Himself.  SO much higher is He than His heavens, the even the heaven of heavens itself is a lowly place compared to the One Who is it Author, Creator and Sustainer.

 

There He showed me, in part, the fierce desire of his love over His loved ones.  I saw it compared to the huge, hugging paws of a bear.  With a strange fierceness of flaming love, these strong claws reached out and, as it were, seized hold upon the love ones, drawing him inexorably unto Him.

 

These strong, claw-like, golden instruments of tremendous size had two sharp edges, which would enclose the one whom He loved and had chosen for Himself.  They seems to seize hold of only a certain part of that person, the part which He wanted for Himself, sheering off the other part in the process that most deeply wounded the object of His love, and taking His portion away from Himself alone.  With unimaginable intensity, He would seize hold upon that one to devour him with a tremendous appetite and with a violence and desperation that utterly amazed me. 

 

The work of these very sharp claws was a demonstration of His love in operations, for His love for His own is exceedingly great, and His zeal and jealously are flaming desires that only divine nature can know.  This revelation of His love was not frightening to me, to the contrary, it seemed wonderfully desirable to be so loved and drawn into God Himself.

 

Deut 4:24 NKJV

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

 

Ex 34:14-15 NKJV

...for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous , is a jealous God...

 

Deut 5:8-10 NKJV

... you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

 

Song 8:6-7 NKJV

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame.  Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.  If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised.

 

James 4:3-5 NKJV

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously "?
