WHY ENCRYPTED?

HEARD 8/02/05: How to do this. Hold that line. Strong and steady. You're standing for the kingdom of heaven. Narrow opening. Mercy wrapped. Yesterday's battles.

PIX: I saw a huge forest fire.

HEARD: Narrow opening. What I haven't told you. Why I speak this way. Encrypted.

HEARD: Roots. There has been some understanding. Be simple and to the point. I'll call you. Download. At least the obvious visions and stuff. Mysteries.

NOTE: The word “download” is a pun. I often say that when the Lord speaks to me in small short words or phrases, that He downloads me with revelation as to the interpretation in how to fill in the blanks. A narrow opening is the level of Words and understanding given at a time. Sometimes it is a narrow opening due to so much warfare. Our faith is affected in loss, and that also affects our ability to hear or at least receive what He says to us. Other times the narrow opening is to keep the enemy from understanding until things are more fully established.  Mysteries also keep us from become presumptuous and independent, running away with God's Words without relying on Him.

WORD TO PONDER: ENCRYPTED 8/02/05

When you become frustrated, beloved, I realize you do not understand what I AM saying to you. Trust Me, that the ways I speak, whether clearly or coded, are for a specific purpose. Part of this is My strategy to keep My purposes hidden until the right time. A portion of this is to keep the enemy from understanding, but part of it is also to keep My intent veiled from you as well. If you knew the full picture you would fail to lean on Me and try to make it happen in your own way and in your own time. I have a strategy to work in and through you. So simply let Me be God and follow the road signs that I have placed in your life. I will keep you well posted. Hey! relax and let Me do the driving! Smile precious one, you are in good hands.

1 Cor 2:7-8 NKJV

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
