BURY THE HATCHET
The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. Ezekiel 10:18
Have you ever noticed, we are always standing on the threshold of the unknown?
The term "threshold" carries both literal and symbolic significance and can be considered a doorway to something new. Revelation 4:1
Entering a new threshold takes initiative on our part to move from living within the confines of our previous limitations into what God is leading us into.
It can feel very uncertain and yet it leads us into a significant breakthrough in that area YAH is trying to expand and prepare you for what’s coming.
We are always moving; the question is in which direction.
When the Israelites were presented with the opportunity to inherit the Promised Land, instead of choosing courage, they embraced fear. Instead of moving toward the abundance God had awaiting them, they wanted to go backward into the land of their bondage. They were even willing to forfeit the ground they had already gained to do so. Numbers, Chapter 14.
If we go forward towards Yashua even when we feel an extra amount of pressure, we can be assured in the new challenge there will be opportunities for spiritual maturity.
If you finding yourself out there—all alone in the middle of unsafe waters, simply because you followed the voice of Jesus? Then, you are right there at the threshold and it’s emotional. It comes with triggers from your past and as these things bubble up, the enemy comes warring against your mind.
You may have to “bury the hatchet” or make peace with these things. Once I said yes, YAH began revealing the places I had not placed in His trust. And at the same time, the enemy was trying to discourage me to give-up right there at the threshold.
If this sounds familiar, YAH is asking you right now, “Will you trust Me in this? Will you believe even when it doesn’t look like it’s working?”
The only way to combat this sort of doubt and pressure is to sit quietly at the foot of Yashua. As we wait, not through striving, service or knowledge but through our surrender! Our key is to give it all. It’s funny how we can be so deceived by what we hold onto by fear! This process of letting go happens layer by layer by layer as YAH takes you higher by pulling you-UP to soar with His Eagles!
He knows these things of your past must be brought to the surface to lighten you to fly. That’s what happened to me and at the same time the enemy wanted to keep me down —- unable to fly and soar above it all! For encouragement, I was lead to look back in history where we have a whole bunch of courageous ones who experienced great suffering by stepping over the threshold. This is what Paul meant when he said, “Death is at work in us” (2 Cor. 4:12).
But we have a solid amount of believer’s who still live a life of superficial safety, never actually crossing their Threshold. It’s time for this generation to Overcome and say good riddance to areas that keep us stuck. I talk about this a few posts back titled “Overcomer’s BluePrint”.
If we don’t deal with these hidden things that we carry a hollows within your soul will keep you low. When this nature takes hold it becomes a judgmental posture within our hearts that blocks the threshold [doorway] making it impossible for us to mount-up and ride up to YAH.
It you feel a witness, Don’t miss out! There is greatness that’s hidden inside you.
In fact, once you deal with these things you will find YAH has uniquely wired you and is waiting for you to fulfill the specific dreams He has placed inside of you.
Is there a dream nagging you right now?
It’s time now for you to mount-up and ride up the mountain where there’s a fire [anointing] waiting to take hold and become the energy that propels you. It’s a place where you will drink from heaven, and not only will your dreams be formed but the indwelling of The Holy Spirit occurs.
Pause right now and write down what you are hearing. The Holy Spirit is using my blog to speak to you. Hallelujah! Thank you YAH!
Our dreams are not to be taken lightly or to be thrown whimsically to the side because we feel they are too outlandish or that they are just our own thoughts.
Our dreams are also called God’s secret weapon. Many times when YAH puts a desire in our hearts, it’s not just about fulfilling a dream.
You may have received a prophetic word years ago or had a dream from God that has yet to be fulfilled. Sometimes it takes longer to reach our God-given destination than we expect because the dream is much bigger than we can imagine.
I remember a time when I heard The Lord say to my heart, “Dream Angela ….dream Bigger, much bigger”. At first, It felt selfish to dream, but The Lord began showing me that our dreams are tied to someone else’s destiny.
We were under great pressure, . . . so that we despaired even of life. . . . But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. (2 Corinthians 1:8–9)
Think about Martin Luther King Jr. for example, he had a dream that affected a nation and changed history. I just read about Heidi Baker a prophetic evangelist who was called to go to Africa when she was only a teenager. She never gave up on this call of God, even though it took twenty years for her to set foot in Mozambique. To this day, that whole country has been impacted by her yes to YAH!
For us to live our dreams means that others will be empowered, healed, set free and significantly impacted. Isn’t this empowering! We get to work for YAH and enjoy our wildest dreams along the journey!
“Dream” in the Hebrew – means to “bind strongly or firmly” (Strongs 2492). A dream from God will become bound up in the heart of the person receiving the dream. Dreams from God are usually very spiritual experiences that are not easily forgotten. They almost become a part of the heart and mind of the person receiving the dream.
There are over 125 references to dreams and dreamers in the Bible. If dreams were not so important God would not spend so much of His Word telling us who dreamed, why they had dreams, what He was saying to them in the dreams, and what He did as a result of those dreams.
The Holy Spirit is always looking for ears that will listen to what He is saying, eyes that will look at what He is showing and a heart that will enquire after His mind. He delights in us and our Supernatural God will provide the power and resources required.
People’s lives are depending upon us saying yes to following our dreams, “the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed ” (Acts 19:20).
When we live out our dreams that The Lord has placed within us! We are partnering with Him and he provides the provisions and equips us! Its not just about us, when we live-out our dreams two worlds are impacted; the visible world of human resources and planning, and the invisible world of spiritual powers and realms
We read in 2 Samuel 5:17, “When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him.” The moment we receive anything from the Lord worth fighting for, the Devil comes seeking to destroy us.
Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near. Joel 2:1
The trumpet is blowing dear Saints & everything has been made ready!
All too often past generations have given up battling because they lacked endurance, but your spirit man has been exercised and you’re growing! Your spiritual muscles have been developed one round after another and you’ve received your technical knockout! I heard early this year, “The demonic is leaving,” and God’s people are crying for more of Him, your oppression and depression are gone! —— The deaf mute spirit keeping YAH’s people from heaven has been evicted! Hallelujah! Thank you YAH!
As I was praying, I fall asleep and a man dressed in a white robe and sandals calls me to follow him. I quickly become concerned and ask, “Who are you?” He answers with a smile, “I am Axe.”
I feel peace beyond understanding, so I agree to follow this happy hearted robed man into a a room filled with books. I recognize it by it’s magnificent light cascading through the windows at the top of the wall. I can’t wait to get access to these library books and just as I am about to step forward, the room changes and I am now in a treasury room.
This room is filled from floor to ceiling with gold, gold pots, gold bars, gold jewelry, gold furniture, gold kettles, gold lamps on and on there are piles and piles of gold treasures. Immediately, I am given a knowing that this is heaven’s precious treasures of wisdom, understanding and prosperity. I cannot tell you how but I knew these treasures were hidden but about to be revealed.
When I turn to my right, I see Mr. Axe cutting down huge evergreen trees in a very dense forest. As He falls each tree, a light from above begins to flow over the forest floor allowing a perfect picture of Christ to form. I wake up.
The work of God is to open our eyes to things blocking our view—to destroy them and root or cut them out — and then, always, to build and to plant from YAH.
God never destroys just to destroy; he destroys in order that he might build up again. At any moment, it is possible to literally feel light and encounter the power of God.
Our dreams are evidence of the movement and operation of the Holy Spirit. You can begin to encounter the glory of God in your own life through a visitation and walk away with the favor of God as a result. It can happen as quick as reading this post! You can be sure, there will be trees to cut down that have blocked your view.
I want to bless you with dreams that prevails, trust that is deeply rooted and peace that passes understanding. God is good and waiting for you even when circumstances do not seem to make any sense at all. You do hear from the Lord. Do not doubt yourself just because the outcome of obedience might have looked different from what you had imagined. God is with you, and He is proud of you for following His leading. May hope arise. May courage be imparted for you to receive the kindness of the Father in a new and greater measure. You are seen, chosen, fought for, understood and covered in the love of the Father. I bless you with healing, grace and fresh hope that ignites a dream that has been hidden but revealed today in Jesus’ name.
Prayer ——Father, I pray that your people find the secret of courage to cut down and break the power of every tree hindering growth giving them the ability to see Christ in His fullness.
Thank You, Lord, for words that will come at night in dreams and visions. You will talk to Your People to tell them and show them how to get out of the situations they are in. Satan has tried to bind them up in chains, but every yoke is broken right now in the name of Jesus. I thank You, Lord, for setting Your people free.
I thank You for the power of the Spirit that baptizes people in the confidence of Holy Spirit’s fire right now. Thank You, Lord, that they pray in the Spirit, continually praying without ceasing in the Spirit. Give them a revelation in the name of Jesus concerning spiritual freedom by dreams that have been placed within them to do your kingdom work. Lord, I thank You for supernatural moves for Your children in the name of Jesus, Amen
