April 23, 2020 Take My Hand

In my quiet time this morning, I was wrestling with my thoughts, for quite a while in fact. Finally God spoke and said, “Take My Hand.  Slow you mind, slow your feelings, let go and trust Me to lead you”.    It was amazing that those simple words quieted my mind.  Then as I was preparing to go to pray at the church altar, I received a text about a prophetic psalm someone had read this morning.  It was entitled, Take My Hand. (Living Waters form God’s Heart, page 260-267) Here is a small passage from it.
 
Come, take My hand
I will take thee and you will stand
And you will not fall, you see
I will keep thee
My hand is strong, you see
Grab hold of Me, don’t let go
No matter what storm that comes
No rain that came
No pain that will come and cause you to lie down
In your own stain of tears, you see
What do you fear?
What do you see that would cause you
Not to hold onto My hand?
 
Oh, I know you have grown weary
Do not grow weary in this time, you see
It is Me, it is Me, not your enemy
I am the One who has come to purge thee, to shake thee
To take away anything that comes against Me
I have come to shake you
To make you holy
 
 
Then at prayer, Pastor Dolores shared that the darkness surrounding us is contending with our minds.  It is causing war in our thoughts and emotions. When we are feeling this way, we must call a strong believer and have them pray with us. We must be diligent to stick together in the spiritual real; and be diligent to pray at our appointed times, and to pray whenever the Lord prompts us to pray, especially in the middle of the night.
 
Then when I got home from prayer, I received four more prophetic psalms that all tied in with what we are facing.  These are all in Hear My Heart’s Cry.  If you don’t have a hard copy of this book, you can download it from this website, under written messages. 

• Mark this Day -page 119- 122
• Rain and Fire – 158-164
• Come Deep in My Heart –165-170
• Prepare for the Shakening –171-174

 
I encourage you to read these and let the Lord show you what He is speaking to you personally, and then how to pray for others in their struggles. Here is a small passage from Rain and Fire.
 
I come to visit you, visit you this day
Mark this day what I have to say
Because this shall surely happen as I speak to thee
I am giving you insight that many cannot see
A great, great, great day is coming, you see
Coming, coming, coming quickly upon thee
Suddenly it shall happen, and what would you say?
No one told me about this day
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes I have, you see
You will know that I have spoken to thee
 
Mark this day down, I say again
Because I am coming against mankind and his sin
And when I come I shall shake them, you see
I shall shake everything, everything around thee
Open up your eyes, open and see
I am preparing you for what is about to happen in Me
 
My children, rise up, rise up and see
That I have chosen you to sit with Me
I have chosen you for covenant, covenant this day
So that you can stand with Me and begin to pray
Your brethren are in trouble, you see
Now I am coming close to thee
That you may understand My command
And you will begin to pray and make a demand
