JOHN DEERE WORD Audio Link
Hosea 10: 12
12 Sow to
yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it
is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
I have word from the Lord for His Bride and it
is an encouragement and exhortation. It
is a “now” word, meaning that His desire is that this word is to be taken to
heart for where the Bride is at. It
forms ultimately part of our last-minute preparations.
During my afternoon nap the Spirit gave me a vision. It was of a green tractor working on a farm. My view was that of ground level. I could not see whether this was for ploughing
or for sowing. Definitely not for
reaping. The next moment I saw a river
of quick flowing water rushing towards the tractor.
This vision is linked to a word
He gave me in 2020 and I thought to look for an appropriate picture. I also thought of the above scripture, as
well as Isaiah 43, and the woman at the well receiving living water, which
resembles the Spirit of God. And lastly,
I thought of His Word that is also that living water. Once I found the picture I liked, something
caught my eye. It was the very well-known
word connected to farming, which is John Deere.
John Deere, was an American inventor and founder of Deere & Company
in 1837, one of the largest agricultural tools and machines; he invented the
first commercially successful steel plow in 1837. At that point Father started to speak to me
about His Bride. I knew that I had to
look up the meaning of John and Deere.
Deere comes from the word “deer”.
This was particularly special, because I pray with two close friends of
mine every Tuesday, for whatever Father leads us to do. This particularly Tuesday, one of my friends felt
pressed upon her heart that we should pray Psalm 42 over the Bride in general,
which is exactly what we did. May I be so
bold as to suggest that you do the same and delve deep into the psalm in prayer
for you and the Bride as well? Psalm 42,
a very well-known Psalm begins, “As the deer (hart) panteth after the water
brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and
appear before God?
John means Yahweh is gracious.
And just before I was about to
write all this down, I started talking to another friend of mine and from that
conversation Father started to talk to me not just about John Deere, but Dear
John. According to the dictionary, a “Dear
John” letter is a letter written to a man by his wife or romantic partner to
inform him that their relationship is over, usually because his partner has
found another lover. The man is often a member
of the military stationed overseas, although the letter may be used in other
ways, including being left for him to discover when he returns from work to an
emptied house. It is usually sent after
time-away on holiday.
The message regarding John Deere….
The time that has passed have
required an immense amount of focus and discipline to prepare for the coming of
the Lord. Not only ourselves personally,
but even in ministry. On Friday I myself
reached such a state of exhaustion that I physically felt not only drained, but
emotionally poured out, because I have been very busy for a while now in doing
what He requires of me. In numerous ways
the Spirit made it very clear to me that I was to come and seek His
presence. I went to sit down and the
Holy Spirit just came and washed over me and I saw my feet being washed in a
river of water. Immediately I thought of
Yeshua washing the feet of His disciples.
Is it not amazing that as the Bridegroom He desires to wash His Bride
with the water of the Word and His Spirit as the husband in the Word is
commanded to do with his wife? This is
what He is saying to His very busy and exhausted Bride…
“Let me come and wash you with
the water of My Word and My Spirit. Come
and be filled up. Deep calling unto deep.
Let the depths of you cry out to Me and your soul thirst again for the
water brooks of intimacy and communion with Me.
Come and drink from the water of My Word without thinking how this
applies to someone else. I want to
minister to you.”
We give and give and will happily
pour ourselves out for His Body, but we need to make sure that we fill up as
well. This is wisdom. We cannot just give and not think that it
will not have its toll on us physically. Also, some may have been hurt in ministry, and
He wants to heal you, but you have to sit still long enough for Him to do
so. Some of you are in a season where
the land has to rest, others are busy sowing or ploughing. He is in all your doing calling you to come
and sit in His presence and to uphold this as your most sacred priority above
all. It is there where He will heal you, restore
your soul, anoint your head and cause your cup to run over. As you are in your John Deere tractor for
the Lord, busy ministering and actively pouring yourself out, know that for
everything there is a season and time for every purpose under the heaven. Come aside and rest Beloved.
Also, there have been those who
have been waiting in great expectancy for His return. Diligently you have sought the scriptures and
have spent countless hours in the written word.
You have grown in your knowledge of the Word, but find yourself drained
emotionally in your waiting. You have
not waited on Him in His presence as needed in this time. Your circumstances may also be of such that
you feel as if you cannot go another day.
Yet, His promise to you is that when you come and give Him your burden,
He will place His yoke upon you that is light.
There is only one reason why your waiting has been so heavy, and that is
because you have not taken His yoke upon you.
Do not let another day pass before you have given Him the heavy load you
have been carrying. He desires your
waiting on Him to be a joy and not an annoyance, filled with murmuring and
despair. He desires that you wait as a
Bride joyful in high expectation, because He will not come one second later than
what has been purposed even before the world was created. Eternity is playing out right before our
eyes. It is an exciting time to be
alive, even in the midst of great turmoil.
He is faithful and true to you.
The message for the Dear John is
as follows…
There are some of you that have
gone through a very rough season and it has been very taxing on you. You have held up the fort and have been
praying and speaking to those you love, but it has fallen on deaf ears for years
now. At some point the Spirit shows us
that we need to let go. In a way, you
have to spiritually write a Dear John letter to that person, knowing that your
first love is Yeshua. It has been years
and you have not given up and will never give up. However, often letting go is seen as giving
up and those prone to guilt, feel that they let the person and the Lord God
down. This is not so. Our hands are to be open to allow Him to
take or give whatever He wants and when He wants. You need to let go. Whether your child, your friend or your
spouse or job. You have to trust them
into His hands and know that He has heard your prayers. Your warfare has gone on so long and in stead
of gaining ground, it has sapped the life out of you. It has even made you physically sick. He wants to minister to you and love on you. Let Him have His way with you and strengthen you
for the journey ahead. Just like He told
Elijah waiting in the cave that after fighting a brutal war with the prophets
of Baal, that he was to eat bread and water for the journey ahead was too
great. Some of you need to feast on the
BREAD AND WATER before you go on with your journey.
Others have been struggling with
the same pet sin for years and you have lived a hate-love relationship with
this sin. It has been draining and an overwhelmingly
heavy load. It is time to write a Dear
John to that pet sin(s). It is time to
let it know that you are breaking every emotional tie with it. Others have people that are co-dependent on
them, because they have taught people how to use them. It is time that you allow the Lord to deal
with that person, because your pride has kept that person in bondage, because
you needed to feel needed and wanted.
You might need to write a Dear John to that part in you that thinks that
way metaphorically. Maybe there is
someone who has to write a Dear John to a previous season as they are
transitioning into a new one. You are
not embracing the new because you know it requires more of you, and so you have
been tiptoeing around it with one foot on that side of the borderline, and the
other in the opposite side of the borderline.
You are not committing to the standard that is required of you. It’s time to write that letter. Lastly, let there not be said of any of us
that we are by our present wilful compromise, being epistles to be read by others,
are actually writing on the tablets of our hearts a “Dear John” letter to our Lord. May we remain ever devoted more and more to
Him above ministry and cause. For it is
ultimately and always will be about Him.
In whatever position you find
yourself, I pray that you will hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to
you, for your good. He knows the road
ahead and needs you to come and drink at the well of living water.
Word received on 31st
October 2020
I HAVE SET A TABLE…
I am with you, My child. Have I not promised that I will never leave you? How much more in this dark hour?
Knowing only in part, should you
not trust Him who knows all things?
Nothing happens unless I ordain it.
Nothing escapes My eyes as I see the righteous and the wicked. My ear is not deaf and My arm not short. Do not fear what man can do to you. Fear Me.
The hour is dark, but I am the
light. Therefore, come as often as you
can into the light of My presence.
STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, HOPE AND MY
LOVE IS FOUND IN ME.
Not just in understanding, but experience. For those without hope, the hour will become
darker. For those who do not fear Me,
terror will come. But those who wait
upon Me will I renew. I will give them STRENGTH,
the strength to fly above the storm. For
those who run this race, ENDURANCE, for they have kept their confession to the
end. For those who walk, My PRESENCE as
they live and move and have their being in Me.
Do not look to this world, look
unto Me. Though the world is in turmoil,
I am your PEACE. The peace in the midst
of you when you do not understand the things of this world. Peace that surpasses understanding, that
keeps you in this hour.
DRAW NEAR, DRAW NEAR UNTO ME.
Understanding is not what you
need, but WISDOM is the fear of God and with that comes understanding. Therefore, do not seek the wisdom of this
world, but come to Me. I will guide you
and show you the things to come. Rely
not on your own understanding. Perilous
times upon you, growing darker and darker, but I am the light in the midst of
you.
Is your lamp full? Is it full of the OIL of My Spirit? How can your light shine in this dark hour unless
you come to Me that I may fill you?
Come, come to Me and seek My
face. Peace, I leave with you. Not the peace of this world, but My
peace. Have I not said “Seek and ye
shall find? Knock and the door shall be
opened?” Many hear My words, but few
seek even after they have heard. Few there
be that knock until the door is opened.
Come and dine with Me,
Beloved. Come dine with Me at the table
Wisdom has set in the presence of your enemy and have your fill.
