2/02/17 BOWING LOW – WALKING IN HUMILITY

IMPRESSION:  I had a sudden impression that a white horse suddenly arrived in our room.  As I pondered this horse with my eyes closed and waiting upon the Lord I got a flash impression of Him putting His legs out and extending His head so He is bowing quite low beside me. 

These were not visions that I saw on the screen of my eyes, but impressions that suddenly came to me as though recalling something to mind, but it wasn’t something I chose to recall.  It was Holy Spirit prompted and a surprise. 

Perceptions, impressions, inklings are not day dreams. We don’t make them up in our mind like deciding to imagine something. Rather as we wait upon the Lord and ask for the mind of Christ, we empty ourselves of our own thoughts.  It is like having a blank canvas before the Lord and He brings the message TO us and not THROUGH us.  Just like the other ways God speaks in hearing and seeing, it is a surprise and not created by us or our choice.  It is very easy to decipher what is soul and what is spirit by simply knowing it is a sudden surprise to us and not something we chose to think.

APPLICATION:  I know that angels, creatures and creation often pantomime or represent God’s message through their demeanor and even dress.  I sensed my white horse was doing the same.  He is showing me the Lord’s Word instead of telling me. 

I was reminded of the past visions that both Jill Austin and Bobby Conner had about keeping one’s head low so that it didn’t get chopped off.  This is about walking in high and lofty hearts or humble and teachable hearts before the Lord and people.

WORD TO PONDER:  WALKING IN A MANTLE OF HUMILITY  2/02/17

Dear heart, learn to bow low before Me and before others.  Remain humble with a teachable spirit.  You can learn from the least of My creation if you are humble enough to receive.  Humility is the opposite of defending yourself or your opinions.  When you have a humble heart you aren’t thinking about how you appear before others, you are thinking about loving them and reaching out to help.  You are honoring them as a valuable vessel that has a part of Me inside.  Learn to listen to My voice through them and no longer walk in independence.

Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

2/03/17 CONFIRMATION CONVERSATION WITH WAYNE - HUMILITY

Wayne and I had a conversation about our remembrance of Rick Joyner’s drab mantle of humility in his Final Quest trilogy books.  He was warned not to take it off but he took it off.  He was told what he could have learned up there, instead his enemies would teach him.  That was a very stern warning for each of us to heed.

QUOTES FROM THE FINAL QUEST - THE MANTLE OF HUMILITY

I looked in the direction he was pointing, but had to shield my eyes from the glory emanating from my own armor to see anything. Then I caught a glimpse of some movement in a small valley. I could not make out what I was seeing because the glory shining from my armor made it difficult to see into the darkness. I asked Wisdom if there was something that I could cover my armor with so I could see. He then gave me a very plain mantle to put on.

“What is this?” I inquired, a little insulted by its drabness.

“Humility,” said Wisdom. “You will not be able to see very well without it.”

Reluctantly I put it on, and immediately I saw many things that I could not see before.  …I looked at my mantle. It looked so plain and insignificant. I felt that it made me look more like a homeless person than a warrior.

QUOTES FROM THE CALL – TAKING OFF THE MANTLE OF HUMILITY

I looked down at the cloak of humility to which he was pointing. In all of the glory I was now seeing, its drabness seemed multiplied. I was appalled that I looked so bad while standing in their presence. I drew it back to see the armor under it, which was now more brilliant than I had seen it before. It was so brilliant that the more I uncovered it, the more the group in front of me faded because of its brightness. However, I was feeling far less embarrassed with the brightness of my armor shining out. I then decided to take the cloak all of the way off while I was there so I would at least not feel as repulsive in the presence of so much glory.

To my shock, when I spoke no one answered. I stood quietly for a few moments. I could not see anything because of the brightness of my own armor. I did not understand why I could not hear anything either. I then called out for Wisdom.

Put your cloak back on,” I heard Him reply. I did as He said and began to dimly see the outline of the Great Hall again.

“Lord, what happened to everyone? Why is everything so dim again?”

“You can see nothing here without wearing that cloak.”

“But I have it on now, and I still cannot see very well,” I protested, feeling a terrible desperation.

“Every time you take off humility, you will be blinded to the true light, and it will take time for you to be able to see it again.”

“I do not do this to punish you, but to help you get your vision back more quickly. I will give you the message that I was going to give you through these witnesses, but it must now be given through your enemies. It will come with trials, and you will have to bow very low to receive it. This is the only way that you will get your vision back as quickly as you will need it. For what is coming, you must be able to see.”
