Forward and Not Backward

Sep 02, 2013 08:31 pm | Glynda Linkous
I was praying and asking the Lord about the new year (Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year is September 4-5th), and this is what He spoke to me for us. There may be more, but this is what I got so far.

My people must set their faces as flint to look forward and not backward if they are to reach the rewards I have for them in this time. There is no more time for looking at what lies behind you, My precious children.

Some of you are walking through times of great sadness, so you wish for the happiness  of the past, when what lies before you is an even greater reward if you do not miss it.

Focus. Focus is the key to victory this year, My children. If you will only focus, I will take you further in this new year than you ever dreamed of going. I desire to reward you for your faithfulness and your giving, for I have recorded every instance, every sacrifice you have made and are making, and I have a reward for you for each instance! The answers to many prayers lie just ahead for those who have obeyed My voice.

NOTE: I saw in my spirit that many had sacrificed for Him by moving, by giving up jobs or relationships, by obeying - He has noted everything you have done! You feel overlooked but He says you are not.

Do not disregard the smaller things, My people, for I take account of every one and what sometimes seems small to you is a very big thing in My eyes and you are rewarded according to what I see.

March forward with determination to reach your destinies in Me, for I shall astound you with My mighty power to transform your life into one of joy and wonder.

Focus on Me, on My work; On My Word, My gospel. Acknowledge Me in all your ways and I shall direct your paths to where I want you to be. Be willing, be obedient, be listening.

I love you, My children! And soon we shall be together for all eternity and all the sorrows of your earthly life will be behind you forever.

Stay focused.

Isaiah 50:7:  For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Genesis 19:!7:  And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Romans 8:18: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Mark 10:28-30:  Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

Song 2:15: Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. 


Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path.

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
