Claiming and Reclaiming our Birthright
This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“Today this day and everyday I hear the bleating of My sheep, as in Saul’s day. For My people are disobedient
just like Jonah whose disobedience rocked the boat that he was in, endangering the lives of others. So it was for Moses,
day and night My people moaned and groaned and were disobedient.
“Today this day, everyday, many who claim to be My disciples are straining at the oars, because the wind of My Spirit
is against them and Jesus is about to pass them by. Like the first disciples, their hearts have become hardened and for
many, disobedience is the norm. Most of the church is still wandering in a wilderness of disobedience and defeat. How
many truly worship Me in Spirit and in truth? How many engage daily in some form or other of spiritual warfare? Sadly,
many have not even tasted the new wine and are still in their old wineskins bobbing about on the water being blown here
there and everywhere, with every wind of teaching hoping that Jesus will come to them and pluck them out of the lake of
sin and disobedience.
“Open your eyes I say open your eyes, look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Make ready says the Lord for we are
about to cross the Jordan once again into the land I promised you, to do battle and claim the unclaimed ground and
reclaim the ground lost. There will be the shedding of blood, and do not be surprised when a tribe or two, or half a tribe
have no desire to enter fully in. For there will be people that no matter how unpleasant they seem, My people have to
evict them. To the religious and self righteous I say, be warned and repent, for prostitutes and their families will
enter in, while you remain in the comfort of your own green pastures a figment of your own imagination where your
love for Me is like the morning mist the dew that melts away with the coming of the sun.
“My prophets and intercessors have battled ahead of you, and know that obedience to My Word and to My Holy Spirit is
imperative. For there are rules of engagement that must be adhered to, when binding the strongman and pulling down the
strongholds of Jericho that would keep you out. These things can only be learnt in complete obedience to the Holy Spirit
as He leads you into the hidden place, the place of intimacy where he reveals My plan’s and the preparations you must
make to claim and reclaim the ground.
“There is no shortage of eyes or ears in the Body of Christ but most are closed to what I am saying and doing. In the
first garden that Adam watched over, the serpent who was more crafty and cunning planted his own seed of lies, deceit
and deception and thorns and thistles took root which became barbs and snares. So it is today in the church garden where
tares, weeds and their seeds have been allowed to take root and flourish like leeches on the body sucking the life blood
out of it. Tares, weeds and their seeds (counterfeit disciples) that smother choke and suffocate the true life out of the
Church by shading it from the true light of the Word.
“The only Spirit that should be in My Church and garden is The Holy Spirit; all others are impostors (counterfeit). First
catch your fish then clean them. If you allow bad fish with rotten flesh to remain in the basket with the good fish, will
not all become putrid in time? Today, this day, every day there are those who claim Me as their Lord and Saviour yet they
fraternise with the enemy of their souls. They fellowship with evil unclean spirits, demons. Cast them out I say, cast them
out in the name of Jesus. You must expel them along with the Korah’s, Dathan’s and Abiram’s. You must deal with the rabble.
“Day three is upon you wake up, rise up you have had all the time in the world to get your supplies ready. Now is the time
to cross over the Jordan and take possession and repossess the land I have given you. ‘The highest heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth He has given to man’ (Psalm 115:16).”
