Dear friends
I pray that you will have a Spirit-led, Spirit-fueled and Spirit-filled day. May God bless you abundantly.
I began to compose this message yesterday at an odd hour. In the middle of yesterday's afternoon I heard God say stop and pray, of course I quickly obeyed and he then inspired this message.
What will cause one to make the difference at this time?
First of all a zeal and thirsting for God and his righteous standards and then a zeal to increase his Kingdom.
I looked up the word Zeal from the Strong’s Concordance and this is what I found
zḗlos (an omamopoeic term that mimics the sound of water bubbling over from heat and perhaps derived from 2204 /zéō, "to boil") – properly, burning emotion (inner feeling boiling over, "boiling from heat," J. Thayer); (figuratively) something very fervent ("red-hot") as with Spirit-fueled zeal to serve the Lord. This root (zē-) is used both negatively ("jealousy") and positively ("zeal") depending on the context.
[The root (zē-, "zeal") literally means "hot enough to boil." It is metaphorically used of "burning anger, love, zeal" (A-S) – i.e. to burn (in spirit). It can refer to "boiling anger, love, zeal, for what is good or bad"
May God stir in us such a zeal, may he give us the mantles of zeal
Psalm 69:9
Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
Titus 2:14
who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works
Isaiah 37
31 And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
God is calling out a remnant who are unmoved by challenges, times, seasons, moods, protocols anything at all
Will you be named in this lot?
God has taken you through much preparation through adversity
But if you have missed the mantle
It is because you have missed the PURPOSE of the adversities and instead given way to fears, doubt unbelief, gratifying the flesh, unforgiveness, the possibilities are endless.
Anything that God allows in our life has a great purpose and it will certainly work for our good and his glory.
With the mantle of zeal will come with
1 An attitude like Esther - I set my face as flint
2 The endurance like Abraham into the promises
3 The strength and passion like David
4 The single-mindedness and zeal of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to complete our assignment and "mirror" the glory of God
5 The steadfastness and "immovability" of Paul where even as the snake bit him in Acts 28, he just shook it off and continued his way.
One simply will be passionate about the things God is passionate about. Our desires will line up to God’s perfect will and his ways.
Zeal comes with boldness and a different view on life - As one now views himself as being a citizen of a Kingdom and will be commited to God’s agenda:
God’s will becomes our every breath
The love of God and others become our heartbeat
Truth becomes our mindset and mouthpiece
Integrity, compassionate and humility will guide our steps
Faith and obedience will continue in our heart
The Holy Spirit and his power will fill our soul
Unceasing prayer will flow
Lord fill us with your zeal we ask in Jesus name
Amen
Blessings prophetess
