Date : 8th March 2021
Dear Friends,
In my prayer time during this week, thus far, a prevailing message continues. I have been seeking the Lord as always, for His hand upon us all. May His guiding touch direct the course of our day and push us on to progress along our paths, individually and corporately and for His whole house.
This time in our history is a new time, but the conditions that prevail are not new. They have happened before, but only less so. Our uncharted course is uncertain, as each day brings its changes and events. My eyes are always on what is happening in Israel, or to Israel, should I say. We must remember that Israel has been given the mandate by YHVH to be a light to the nations. We can argue that that light does not seem to shine as bright at the moment, because though they have been given the word and precepts of God and the pattern of praise and worship, they have rejected the true light of our Messiah. That light however, did go out into the nations from Israel and the journey of that light is returning. The word of the Lord is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path. When we are asleep, our eyelids shut out the light, but when we are awake the light generates and awakens life in us. We have a light that not only shines but burns a course through our time.
Our preoccupation with Israel, as a holy place, and with us finding our own experience with her, has somewhat diverted us off course. If we look a little closer, we will see that there is a light that shines from her. It illuminates something different. When we look at Israel, we must see the hand of God upon her. We of course see her blessings and amazing progression as a nation. We see her gifts to the nations but we must also see that not all those gifts are good. Israel is a sign for us and we must look at what her light is illuminating for us at this time. She is not in a good place. She has proudly pushed herself forward to promote an agenda that has prepared the place for something very dark, not only for herself, but for the rest of the world. I do not want to influence you by what I have found, but Israel is under the hand of an ancient emerging power, so I ask that you seek the Lord for yourself and see what He shows you. Israel is in desperate need of repentance and prayer. Calamity is coming upon her people and this is a prelude for the rest of us.
The purpose of this message is about the light and leading of God for those who diligently seek Him, who pursue His kingdom and will deny themselves to see His will fulfilled in these days.
When we see the hand of God upon humanity, we must realise that God sees unity among His children and disunity between them and the world. He has identified His children by placing the mark of the blood of the Saviour upon each of them. They are not of this world , though its earth is their habitation for now. Society is gradually separating at an exponential rate. The gender agenda is one such area where we are seeing a great divide. It is of course to do with how we see ourselves. It is to do with identity. Individuals in this world can identify as whoever they choose to be; that’s up to them, but the child of God cannot do this. The mark of Christ upon them identifies them as a child of God. The one who finds a new physical identity that correlates to their mind condition, declares that they are different by saying, that they are coming out. They declare their joy and pride in finally being able to express to the world who they believe themselves to be. The same applies to the children of God. Each of us must also come out. Why? Because God has placed His calling voice in our ears and our hearts are desperate to obey that call.
That is the message I have to send out. It is not a new message. It is an echo of one given thousands of years ago to the people of Israel in Egypt and in Babylon, when they were forced in slavery and exile. It is one given to a people group who find themselves under a power who have sought to bring them under control and their unrighteous government, and to force them to worship other gods. If having been freed from the yoke of slavery, we return again to our sinful and wicked ways, then destruction will come upon us. We cannot be arrogant in this 21st century life, in believing that God does not act accordingly in His judgement against our sin. Yeshua came for the lost sheep of Israel, of which every believer is a part. We must understand that there are two flocks of sheep. The one in the world, who will remain lost, and those who are His, who will be found. He knows every one of His sheep because they bear His shepherd’s mark.
I know when the Lord speaks to me, because He often slots in words during my prayer time that seem to diverge from my prayer flow. At these times I try to stop and listen. His words are succinct and not protracted. His words do not go into long sermons, but simply arrive as an instruction or a question. Most times they show me something of revelation, which He may want me to put into a dispatch or a teaching. What I am about to place into your hands comes as an instruction. Today on the 11th March, the Lord has confirmed the message He gave to me on the 8th March.
I ask that you receive this message with grace and that you pray diligently and effectively. I also pray that you respond as you are led by the Lord, and do not delay. This is an answer to your question.
Shalom
Grant Marshall.
The Lord has said,
This is the day of Go!
This is the week of Go!
This is the month of Go!
This is the year of Go!
Isaiah 52
1Awake, awake,
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Will no longer come into you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise,
O captive Jerusalem;
Rid yourself of the chains around your neck,
O captive Daughter of Zion.
3 For the Lord says this, “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed, but not with money.”
4 For the Lord God says this, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and [many years later Sennacherib] the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 But now, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without reason? Those who rule over them howl [with taunting and mockery of salvation],” declares the Lord, “and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.
6 Therefore My people shall know My Name and what it means. Therefore in that day I am the One who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”
7 How beautiful and delightful on the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who announces peace,
Who brings good news of good [things],
Who announces salvation,
Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
Together they shout for joy;
For they will see face to face
The return of the Lord to Zion.
9 Break forth, shout joyfully together,
You ruins of Jerusalem;
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared His holy arm (His infinite power)
Before the eyes of all the nations [revealing Himself as the One by Whom Israel is redeemed from captivity],
That all the ends of the earth may see
The salvation of our God.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there (the lands of exile),
Touch no unclean thing;
Go out of the midst of her (Babylon), purify yourselves,
You who carry the articles of the Lord [on your journey from there].
12 For you will not go out in a hurry [as when you left Egypt],
Nor will you go in flight [fleeing, as you did from the Egyptians];
For the Lord will go before you,
And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Be encouraged at this time. The Lord is with those who diligently seek Him. To complete this message the Lord has caused this third part of prophecy to be placed into context. I pray that you will know the calling upon your life and see that the Lord has answered the many years of your searching. Be strengthened as you read this and know that your destiny is upon you.
THE MANIFESTATION OF DISCIPLESHIP - 2016
This is the time of release, when all those that I have purposed to stand in position will stand and pick up the call on their lives and the destinies I have ordained for them. Every resource will be released to help fulfill those callings. I am allowing now, many to see from the top of the mountain. From there, they will see every point of the compass — from the North, South, East and West and every point in-between.
They will see the degree in which they have to Go! and I will illuminate it so that they will see their path clearly. Ministries and callings will be revealed and understood. Now, visions will be realised. A new breed of visionary leader will take their place. Finance will be released from those I have caused to gain wealth. It shall be a time of outpouring to fulfill the plans I have for this time. No time shall be wasted. New alliances will be formed as all will come to build My house. Long awaited dreams will come to pass in this hour. I am moving mightily upon the earth. Many are taking up their responsibilities now. They have been made ready in the furnace of trial and dedication. They have been honed and consecrated. I will cause many to see their visions - the ones I have given them — and they will see it and run with it to fulfil also their own destinies. This will be a true time of manifest discipleship. I am changing the seasons and restoring the times. The body will move as one and not separately . This is My desire, to see it done as I have purposed. No man shall take ownership of what I will impart. Now everyone will understand the importance of their role and purpose. The purpose is My kingdom. Every one of My children will know the part which they will play. It shall be truly a time of the manifestation of discipleship. I am calling many to come together and gather for such a purpose. I shall bring great responsibility upon those who have sought My purpose for their lives . I will impart a new super-generated spirit among those who desire to do My will. I will give them a spirit of willing — to do what must be done. I will open up pathways and relationships that need to be formed, to fulfil all that I have planned for this time. The manifestation of discipleship has been released.
Shalom
Grant
