A MESSAGE OF HOPE - WORKERS - AUDIO
Father gave me a message to His
Bride this morning. It came in a very
special way. A friend of mine told me
that she was praying for me and that when she did, she saw me surrounded with
beautiful yellow flowers. Then when I
scrolled down on a video on YouTube, I saw a lady asking a question and was
prompted to answer her. Not thinking
much of it, I set myself out to find out what these yellow flowers are about. I was led to go and see where in the Word
yellow is mentioned and if there is anything of significance to me. I came across Psalm 68: 13.
Quite a
beautiful verse. Not sure what it all
meant I went to different commentaries and was truly blessed by what I
found. Instead of re-inventing the
wheel, I will just simply read the commentary.
This is found on the website called Biblestudytools.com. You will note that all the different
commentaries in a way describe first trying times, but with the common thread
of righteousness as silver and purity as gold.
Different scenarios are painted, all applicable to our lives, current
events and prophetically.
The first part of the verse is discussed...
Though
ye have lain among the pots
Kimchi takes these words to be the words of the women, or of the
psalmist addressing the Israelites going out to war; that though they should
lie in a low, dark, and disagreeable place, in the camp, in the open field,
exposed to wind and weather; yet they should be fair and beautiful, and be
loaded with gold and silver, the spoil of the enemy. But Fortunatus Scacchus refers
them, much better, to the encampment of the Israelites in their tents, and to
the disposition and order of their army going to battle: the body of the army
in the middle, and the two wings, right and left, on each side; whose glittering
armor of gold and brass, the rays of the sun striking on them, are fitly
resembled by the colors on the wings and back of a dove.
Another learned writer thinks they are an address to the wings of the dove; that is, to the dove itself, meaning the Holy Spirit, expostulating with him how long he would dwell within the limits and borders of the land of Canaan; which was not long after the ascension of Christ, for soon was the gift of the Holy Ghost poured down upon the Gentiles.
In a different view we see they are an address to the people of Israel; intimating, that though they had been
in adversity, and their lives had been made bitter with hard bondage, in mortar
and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; and had lain among the
brick kilns and furnaces when in Egypt; and in the times of the Judges had
suffered much from their neighbours, by whom they were frequently carried
captive; and had been in affliction in the times of Saul; yet now in prosperous
circumstances in the times of David, who had conquered their enemies, and
enlarged their dominions, and restored peace; and especially would be more so
in the days of Solomon, when they enjoyed great plenty and prosperity, and silver
was made to be as the stones of the street.
Though it is best of all to apply the words to the church and
people of God in Gospel times; and they may describe their state and condition
by nature and by grace, in adversity and in prosperity: the former in this
clause, in which there is an allusion to scullions, or such as lie among
coppers and furnaces, and are black and sooty; and so it describes the Lord's
people before conversion, who are black with original sin and actual
transgressions; (This makes me think of the Shulamite in the Song of Solomon who at the beginning ask him not to look at her as she works in the vinyard, being black from the sun beating on her), who being transgressors from the womb, and as long as they live
and walk in sin, and have their conversation with the men of the world, may be
said to lie among the pots: and this may also be expressive of the church of
Christ being in adversity, and black with the sun of persecution smiting her;
and she might be said to lie among the pots while the ten Heathen persecutions
lasted, and also in the reign of antichrist; during which time the church is in
the wilderness, and the witnesses prophesy in sackcloth;
The second part of the verse...
[yet shall they be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver,
and
her feathers with yellow gold:
The philosopher observes, that the necks of doves appear of a golden
color by the refraction of light. And this describes the saints and people of
God as they are by grace. They are comparable to the dove on many accounts:
like doves of the valleys, every one of them mourn for their iniquities; like
the trembling and fearful dove, tremble at the apprehensions of divine wrath,
and judgment to come under first convictions; and are fearful of their enemies,
and of their own state; are humble, modest, and meek; think the worst of
themselves, and the best of others; flee to Christ for refuge, and to
ordinances for refreshment; are chaste and affectionate to Christ, and harmless
and inoffensive in their lives and conversations. Being "as the wings of a
dove covered with silver" may denote the purity of doctrine held by them;
the words of the Lord being as silver purified seven times, and the
preciousness and sincerity of their faith, by which they mount up with wings as
eagles; and the holiness of their conversation, being as becomes the Gospel of
Christ: and being as the "feathers" of a dove covered "with
yellow gold" may denote their being adorned with the graces of the Spirit,
as faith, hope, and love; which are more precious than gold that perisheth, and
are called chains of gold, see; or their being clothed with the righteousness
of Christ, signified by gold of Ophir, and clothing of wrought gold ; or their
being enriched with the unsearchable, solid, substantial, and durable riches of
Christ,
It describes the church in the latter day, when her light will
be come, and the glory of the Lord will rise upon her; when her stones will be
laid with fair colors, and her foundations with sapphires; when she shall, have
the glory of God upon her, and be as a bride adorned for her husband.
I am amazed at how much is mentioned in these commentaries of what Father has been talking to me about with regard to my previous devotionals, the Precious Gemstones and the Bleeding Heart Dove.
Who knew that all of that is compressed into such a small verse? In the second chapter of Song of Solomon he is calling His Bride to
come with Him, to rise, but towards the end she has been transformed by His
love.
Song of Solomon 2: 10 - 14
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one,
and come away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds
is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret
places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for
sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
When we look at
the account of Noah when the Arc rested, He sent out the raven and the dove at
the same time. The raven in the Strong’s
Concordance speaks of Arab and depicts the anti-Christ that will be sent out
soon upon this earth as we already see the world stage prepared for his coming
soon. However, the dove speaks not only
of Christ, but the Spirit of God that will be poured out in the greatest
revival ever. As I said in my previous
devotional it takes tribulation for the Church to be the Church as the Most
High intended. It is during this time
when He will cause the eyes and ears of our loved ones to be opened up and
great miracles will happen once again as in the days of Acts when the dove descended on those who waited on Him in the upper room.
He is about to
send out the raven and the dove and as great calamity is to fall on this earth,
so also great revival. How this revival
will play out, we do not know, because persecution will only increase. With war, will come His peace as well. Once again, how this will play out we do not
know. It is in the extremities of life
that people will cling to hope in a time where there seems to be no hope. This painting that I used on the top of this devotional is of my favorite artist, Daniel Gerhardts. It is called "Message of Hope". Daniel means Righeous Judge and Gerhard means Spear Ruler. it is in this time that the Righteous Judge is about to pour out both His Spirit and His wrath upon this earth. Where in fact as a spear will pierce the hearts of men to either call upon Him or curse Him. When Father spoke to me
this morning He gave me a beautiful word of how He is about to send out His Doves. I could not help but think of the enemy
that is also sending out his birds of prey, his ravens in a time like
this as this painting is depicting. But our Father, will bring a
message of hope, just like doves were used in ancient times to bring messages
to people in other countries, so He is about to send out His doves with a
message of hope.
1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is
risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness
shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon
thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall
come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
4 Lift up thine eyes round
about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy
sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
5 Then thou shalt see, and
flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the
abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles
shall come unto thee.
6 The multitude of camels
shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba
shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the
praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of Kedar
shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto
thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the
house of my glory.
8 Who are these that fly as
a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
As you can hear
there is great significance to this seemingly insignificant scripture of Psalm
68: 13. It speaks of the Bride in her
glorified state, but what kind of Bride?
One who although life has thrown her to be covered in the black soot of
hardship and trials, have come out pure and of Christlike character. She has dove's eyes. She is like an army of banners!
9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her
mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and
blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon,
clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
I asked Father to confirm the word to me and whether He would like me
to release it. Right at that moment when
I said that, I looked up and a flock of white doves flew over the field I was
looking at. You will also remember me
mentioning that I replied to a lady on YouTube.
When I went back to that comment I saw that her profile picture was a
yellow flower, reminding me of my friend praying for me surrounded by yellow flowers, and to top if off, the lady's name on the profile is "Dove’s eyes". My daughter also
changed her profile picture on WhatsApp last night. When I looked this morning I saw that it was
a bride with a dove descending on her.
Such beautiful confirmation of what He is about to do for His
doves.

MESSAGE
OF HOPE
My precious Doves, you who have a single
eye, focused on Me, not only in your lives, but a heart wholly given over...I
will send you out in flight to all the nations, that the token of true peace in the midst of chaos may be seen by all.
As I descended on My Son when He rose from
the waters of baptism, so I will ascend upon you, you who have risen in My
might from the waters of the baptism of death into new life.
Just as your life has been sustained by My
Spirit, so I will sustain you. I will
shine upon you and you will declare My glory amongst the nations so that all will call upon Me in a time of
need. For only in Me will they find true
peace in a time of war and calamity.
Arise My Doves and come away with Me. Arise and shine with My glory that will come
upon you.
You have given me your all, now I will give
you all things in this time of great need.
That you may be a comfort to My people, just as I have comforted
you. That you may speak tenderly to them
as I did to you. That you may rise with
healing in your wings, as I rose over you.
So come My Doves, let us fly over the
nations. Let us bring hope, faith and
love amidst the darkest hour. I will
bear you up with My wings, My Doves. I
will be the wind beneath your wings. I
will cause you to soar above the storms that the eyes of the blind may see and
the deaf may hear and call upon Me.
The window of opportunity, only a small
opening. But those who desires to be
free to know My ways, will hearken.
So come and fly away with Me. A message of hope in a dark world where there
will seem as if there is no hope at all, is what you will be.
Amen.
Love it:)
