A Word from GOD

A word from GOD to share with You
What you are about to read is lengthy, but very good. I only say that because I didn't write it, God did. May you realize that I am no one special, and what He did for me, He can (and wants) to do for you. Seek Him and relish the joy of finding Him! I should probably preface this with the fact that prior to this, God and I hadn't talked in quite awhile. I was struggling and felt alone, forgotten, and without purpose. For me, not having a purpose is an horrible thing, as I need a reason to do...a reason to be...a place to serve. No one (I felt) wanted to help me, or talk to me, and God must have agree with them, because He wasn't talking to me either. I was wounded. On October 5, 2008 during church a Word of God came through Pastor Randy to me, Angie Kovarovic. He grabbed a microphone and thankfully I was able to transcribe it. Here it is: For the Spirit of the Lord would say to you Angie K.- I have not left you, I have not abandoned you, and I will never forsake you. For God would say prepare a place for Me for I am coming to you in the night hours. Make a place saith God and not in your bed. Arise and make a place for Me. For when you draw nigh to Me I will draw nigh to you. And thus saith the Spirit of God I am coming to you in the night hours yeah, I will awaken you and you will arise and meet Me in that secret place and I will answer all your questions saith God. So then, on October 6, I was awakened around 8:30 am (which for me is "night hours") as I have second shift hours. The voice I heard was very similar to that of Treebeard from the movie Lord of the Rings. He is an Ent (a giant tree that talks) and talks while both breathing in and out. I awoke to that voice saying, "Come back to me and I will love you best." This is a line from the movie and I chuckled, figuring that God wouldn't talk to me with Treebeard's voice, so I rolled over and went back to sleep. I woke up about an hour later to God repeating a phrase over and over. That phrase was, "A shift in the atmosphere and the sound of the rattling of scabbards." He then began emphasizing certain words, "A shift in the atmosphere and the sound of the rattling of scabbards." Well, as humans usually do, I began trying to interpret what God was saying. Before I wrote the phrase down, however I did other things, like use the restroom, read, and so the words began to escape my memory. Plus I thought a scabbard was a sword, but it is not. It is the sheath of a sword. Nevertheless, God spoke to me that day. God said, There is a shift in the atmosphere happening right now, and the sound of the rattling of scabbards can be heard throughout the Spirit. A war cry has been heard. The alarm has been raised, and still many of My people sleep. They refuse to lift their heads...to busy about their own kingdoms, too busy with their own agendas. My Word says that you are NOT your own, you were bought with a price. My people should be building My kingdom and carrying out My agenda. That includes you, child! I said, "I know Lord. I don't know what to do, though. God said: Do as I've said, Write! Keep on writing. All of life's questions aren't answered in one day. Be ready as I told you through My servant yesterday. (He meant Pastor). Be open to hearing from Me and receiving answers and you will get them. Start with one step. I love you child. God. Then on October 8, 2008 God again awakened me at about 8:30. I hit an imaginary snooze button, and He woke me up again at about 9:30. We began talking, and then a very serious air came over me and God said, A change in the atmosphere and the sound of the rattling of scabbards. Can you hear them, child? I began listening (in the Spirit) and after a while said, "No, Lord. All I hear are the angry shouts of men fighting. Pushing and shoving, shouting all at once different words. The thundering of many feet running. I saw all this playing out like a movie. I asked, "Lord what can be done?" He said, Listen, My child. A time is coming and now is when war breaks out easily. A shift in the atmosphere and the sound of the rattling of scabbards. Mens' faith will fail them because of fear. They will stand shaking on the front lines, unable to draw their weapons. Their brothers will run, too terrified to defend them. I asked, "Lord, what can be done?" God said Gap standers. My intercessors must arise against this onslaught. They must raise their shields of faith and quench the fiery darts raining on the heads of their brothers. I love My people as I love My Son. They commit adultery openly with other idols and then run to Me to fix things. They still smell of other lovers while standing before Me. I am jealous for them! I want all of them! I want all of you! I then began asking God some questions because He'd never talked to me quite that way before. Then He said, Child trust me. Trust your spirit. A journey starts with a step. Yes, I need My intercessors as never before - is that such a strange thought? No, that is not all that phrase means. A shift in the atmosphere and the sound of the rattling of scabbards. There is more. You can only take one step at a time, no matter how big or small, it's still only one step. Until that step has completed its full swing and its momentum planted itself in the ground, you can't take the next step. Once you've taken the first step, we'll talk about what to do next. This will help you build trust, patience, perseverance...all those things in your favorite verse. (Romans 5:3-5). Make a card of that verse, memorize it, post it where you can see it often. Don't rush the process - you'll spoil the wine. I love you. God On October 9, 2008 - I again had the same awakening experience and imaginary snooze button. When I began talking to God on this day, I was overwhelmed by cares, and worries. God was telling me that He alone is my provider and I should not worry as the pagans do (as found in Matthew 6). Then God said, Pray. Not a word of serious prayer has escaped your lips for a long time. Prayer releases the power of God on the earth. Prayer makes things happen! I had been weighing an issue for awhile, and suddenly the clarity and answer hit me. God said, Child, you must grow where you are planted. The storms test the roots. If you pull a tree up by the roots, will it then flourish? I answered, "not likely, unless you get a lot of roots, or it's a young tree." He asked me, are you a young tree? Then dig your roots in and drink of me. See if they be strong. Read your verse again. Romans 5:3-5 Not only that, but we also glory in tribulations (God interjected) root testers, child, and you should glory in them. Study this verse. Every word. Memorize it. Remember when I told you we were setting out on a journey and to take nothing with you except our relationship? Remember how excited you were? Every new twist and turn was an adventure. Then life happened. Things didn't work out the way people promised. People lied, broke your trust, and you stopped taking the journey with Me. Life is the journey, not the end. We've been on that journey since you agreed to set out on it, little one. Sometimes we've walked together, sometimes not, but I AM never leaves or forsakes. Trust Me. I love you. I have good plans for our journey. It's up to you if you want to walk with Me. A shift in the atmosphere... I love you. God. (Back in maybe 2003, God had asked me to go on a journey. I could take nothing with me, no money, possessions, or friends. The only thing I could bring along was my relationship with Him. Shortly after that, my husband's accident happened and our lives were blown apart. The journey wasn't what I had planned). I read a devotional called "Daily With the King" that day also, and here's a portion of what it said, "...The Bible knows nothing about instant success. How long did it take God to deliver the Israelites from Egypt? To construct and execute the plan of Salvation? There are times when blessing seems to be immediate, when miracles seem to happen on the spot, but the conditions that brought those things about were in operation long before the finished product. ...Am I willing to do God's will immediately and thoroughly, without regard for the consequences? If so, God's blessing will surely be mine. If not, I'll be cursed with the fruits of negligence. Nothing exults the heart of God more than my willingness to follow Him." (Then he quoted my favorite Bible verse, Zeph. 3:17). On October 10, 2008, God and I again went through our routine of imaginary snooze button and being awakened an hour later. I read my One Year Bible that morning and noticed some highlighting. Now, I don't highlight in my One Year Bible, so this was very unusual. The highlighting was Jeremiah 15:16 - Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are my heart's delight. 18) Why then does my suffering continue? Why is my wound so incurable? Your help seems as uncertain as a seasonal brook. It is like a spring that has gone dry. 19) The Lord replied, "If you return to Me, I will restore you so you can continue to serve Me. (This shocked me because this had been my exact prayer to God. I wanted to serve Him, find my place, but first I needed to return to Him). If you speak words that are worthy, you will be my spokesman. You are to influence them; do not let them influence you! 20) They will fight against you like an attacking army, but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall. They will not conquer you, for I will protect and deliver you. I, the Lord, have spoken! NLT I wondered why those verses were highlighted and started looking through old journals. I found one for 10-10-05. At that time, we were still in our old house, I felt like I was in a desert and totally lost. God told me at that time that newness was coming (which it was, we moved in 2006 and many new things have happened in our lives since then) and that He could see me even though I felt like I was in a desert. Then He said: I have chosen a hard road for you because I knew you could walk it. I wonder if my trials now continue to be a part of this "hard road." The weird part is that in that old journal from 2005, the date before was from September and the date after was sometime in November. There has always been something strange for me about the day October 10th. (10-10) I don't know what it is. I hope that you've enjoyed your read. I hope that God has inspired you as He's inspired me. One step at a time. Remember: A shift in the atmosphere and the sound of the rattling of scabbards.

A Word from GOD

A word from GOD to share with You

What you are about to read is lengthy, but very good. I only say that because I didn't write it, God did. May you realize that I am no one special, and what He did for me, He can
