WHO AMONG YOU IS SUFFERING?

Message received July 27, 2023

As I woke up this morning, I asked Yahushua to help me understand even more the importance of accepting all types of suffering here in this life. I was specifically speaking to Him about physical pain this morning. I have always known it was important to suffer well, and that we need a level of understanding in this life in order to learn to overcome. He has given me bits and pieces over the years, but I asked Him this morning for a deeper revelation about suffering in this realm. He often gives me one word or a phrase to start with and meditate on before He speaks. He started this morning with the word    " resilience."

WHO AMONG YOU IS SUFFERING?

My beautiful daughter and My beloved ones, there are many of My mysteries now unfolding to those who walk the difficult path, those who journey towards greater and greater intimacy with Me, your Spouse. I have given you much revelation as to the distinct groups that have come to this realm after satan and his angels fell from My Kingdom, how I then made a way for all that choose Me to be saved, and why the experience of My set-apart ones is tailored in such a way that mastery may be achieved in order that you over-come not only self and this vessel, but this realm. There is a discipline that must be followed, as you walk in obedience. The only way to reach the level of mastery required for greater intimacy is to have a series of experiences that give you opportunities to make choices to rise above as you fully surrender, to deny self and flesh, to learn to command your spirit mastery over your soul and to become resilient to anything that is presented here. To each experience, you are to apply the teachings found in My Word. I tell you often enough, it is always about your choice in what I present to you. In that choice, you will either grow and move forward, or you will repeat the lesson until it is mastered before moving to the next level. Resilience does not mean to become hardened or numb to the suffering, rather it is the higher call of the Most High- a race that is meant to be run and run well. 

You run for a crown that is imperishable and your destiny is to return to the incorruptible nature. You see, this race will be run well, because when you are in Me, you cannot fail, you simply continue to fall forward. It is a call to be impervious to everything that this realm and this body experiences in this life. It means that nothing- no amount of heart pain or heartbreak, no amount of mental anguish or fatigue, and no physical pain in the body, no matter how intense any of these are or can be can prevent you from continuing to rejoice in it all. It is a call to praise Me no matter how much there is hurt, pain or suffering of any kind. It is not only giving thanks for the suffering, but asking Me what I am desiring to reveal to you through it. It is a call to maintain the disposition in temperance that I have given you as an example, that of the fruits of the spirit, so all may see Me in you. For you see, I reveal so much of Myself when you allow Me to work in you through this. It is in this way that I carefully and ever so lovingly draw you further and further away from all that this life is here, My Spirit bringing back to you in remembrance, the reason why you have come, and what I have purposed you to do as you sojourn here. The layers of understanding come as I gently peel away the walls of reason and logic in this fallen realm that tell you that suffering should not be. 

In My Kingdom which is your eternal home and where your spirit is always residing, you have access to hidden knowledge that has been kept from you through the reign of darkness in this realm by the enemy of your soul who hated Me before he hated you. I have given you the keys to this hidden knowledge and one of the ways you can access it is through the pain and suffering in this life. Although satan has a part in using pain and suffering to harm you, I allow it in order to teach you to walk in your full authority here, which is mastery of all that is under My dominion, because you are heirs to My Throne. 

Does it not say in My Word that one of you can put a thousand to flight? Or, that five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred will put ten thousand to flight as your enemy falls before you? This is who you are as you walk in My truth applying these principles. The path of learning here is not a comfortable path as the world teaches, but an entirely unique calling that when followed in My counsel and wisdom, will afford you the level of maturity that you are ordained to reach in the time allotted here. It is only then, when you can rejoice in the pain and suffering and give Me thanks and praise that I am allowing it, that you will be transformed from the inner focus on self, to a focus of walking as an instrument of righteousness for My glory. 

This is the molding and refining I am doing in you. In this way, you will be fashioned into My image, the image of your Creator, as only I know what is best for you and what will bring you to the position in which you are completely emptied in order that the fullest of My glory can pour through to others. Ambassadors of light is who you are, and this light is not to be hidden. 

So, shine My beautiful ones, shine through all the darkness and watch and see what I will do!

Your Savior and Shepherd of Your Soul,

Yahushua

My sisters and my brothers in Yahushua, Jesus The Messiah. I know that many of us have been holding on for dear life to The Lord’s promises and His return to transform us back to our first estate, and present His army to a lost and dying world, one that is filled with ever increasing corruption and deception. We all have felt the uptick in darkness, as everything seems out of place, especially in the society we have known all of our lives. The Lord has spoken to me over the last month in short exchanges. Of course, I desire to hear Him continually, but that is often not how He operates. When He is relatively quiet, He is doing a greater work in me, and He wants me to press into Him until I understand and can demonstrate what He has placed before me. I often find myself between the spirit and the flesh, depending on what life situations are presenting themselves at any given time, and I must see each situation as an opportunity to demonstrate what Father has taught us through His scriptures, words and messages. 

Recently, Father has been giving me specific words to meditate on, e.g. resilience, disposition. He then asks me to apply these words to my journey and walk with Him. And, although I understand what He has said and what a word basically means, applying “His” definition of the word to my life can be a huge challenge, as if climbing a cliff face. You can see the top, but you are not exactly sure how to proceed successfully. You know that success means you can rejoice in The Lord for helping you to overcome suffering, fear and pain in order to reach the summit, but I know also that I could fall, figuratively speaking, and then I would have to try again, as another opportunity presents itself. This process continues in a loop pattern until I have mastered and demonstrated the given assignment to The Lord’s satisfaction. This is what The Lord refers to as the “refining process,” and it often can be challenging, painful and disheartening at times. 

However, if we hold onto the promise that The Lord does all things for our good. Then, we can get back on our feet with an attitude of gratitude that The Lord cares for all of us so much that He has designed every detail of our time here to be a learning experience, one that will bear fruit if we don’t let the bumps and bruises, and the pain and suffering overwhelm and paralyze us. In suffering we are made whole, and in entering into His sufferings, we truly come to know Him as He is. All of us are broken vessels, misfits to the world. But, to Our Father in Heaven, we are precious and valued beyond measure. So, my beloved family, let us not let it get us down and give the enemy the upper hand, but let us press into the upward call of God, as He takes us through the final stages of our refining, so that we can glorify Him to the utter most. Praise The Lord!

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
