LEGENDARY SEASON by Marsha Burns
Identifying the Season (2015)
On a recent road trip two words came to me: legendary and epic.
Those two words came just before arriving at our destination where I saw a sign that read, "Legends of the West."
So, the season we have just entered will be epic, legendary, and marked as supernatural.
Upheaval in the Nations:
In a vision I saw utter, heart-breaking devastation in cities and towns
in the Middle East. And, I asked the Lord, "When will this end?" He
answered, "It will end when everything that is destined to be destroyed
is destroyed." And, I heard Him say that it would end when the
indignation is past.
Then, I was reminded of Psalm 137:1-4 "By
the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept when we
remembered Zion. We hung our harps upon the willows in the midst of it.
For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, and
those who plundered us requested mirth, saying, "Sing us one of the
songs of Zion!" How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?"
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors
behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the
indignation is past.
Jeremiah 15:2-3 "And it shall be, if they
say to you, 'Where should we go?' then you shall tell them, 'Thus says
the LORD: "Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the
sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and
such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. And I will appoint over
them four forms of destruction," says the LORD: "the sword to slay, the
dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to
devour and destroy."
Then, I asked, "What will follow this
destruction?" He said, "An awakening beyond the scope of anything that
has ever been seen."
I am reminded of the very first time that I
entered the presence of the Lord. I had heard someone mention the end of
the world in the days prior to my encounter with Him, and I was
troubled by that concept. So, I asked, "Is the world coming to and end?"
He said that the world as we know it would come to an end. I asked if
there would be a World War III. Again, the answer was affirmative. Then,
I asked my final question-where would the war begin, and He answered
that it would begin in the Middle East.
In the history that is being written in these times this could very well be the beginning of the end.
Matthew 24:
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him
privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be
the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
6 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not
troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet.
7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in
various places.
8 "All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10 "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 "But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Instruction for the season:
1 Thessalonians 5:
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
This season will present opportunities to interact with History
supernaturally. It's going to be big-the stuff that legends are made
of. But, we individually must stay focused and not be distracted with
temporary and trivial pursuits.
Small Straws:
I am doing a
supernatural work in you, My people. If you will get up to the highest
point of your own desire and ability to seek My face, I will take you
higher spiritually and give you greater freedom of movement. You will
see and discern with unprecedented clarity and become one with Me in
purpose--moving with power and precision, says the Lord.
Keep
yourself in righteousness and honor. I have provided for you
sanctification and have set you apart for Myself, says the Lord. Protect
your commitment. Be established in My kingdom through dedication to My
purposes. Refuse to allow the enemy to steal your peace or undermine
your spiritual position. Set a watch for his shenanigans.
Stand
strong in the face of adversity, for I say to you that challenges will
come as devastation seems to rule the world. It is up to each of you, My
people, to establish righteousness and kingdom principles where you
are--in your life and circumstances. You will do this through choosing
good over evil, says the Lord. Set yourself apart to reflect My
character and nature.
Consider where you have been, where you
are now and where you are headed. If your life seems to be on a path
that has departed from spiritual commitment and consecration, you will
need to make a course correction before it leads to destruction. Let Me
direct you in the way of righteousness and peace so that I can bless
you, says the Lord.
The next phase of your spiritual progression
is beginning to unfold. Position yourself for the greatest benefit of
the season by getting your priorities in order and developing righteous
values. Move away from self-absorption to consider and esteem one
another. Be honest and righteous in every area of life--relationships,
finances, goals and desires. I am the light that will guide you through
the darkness that covers the earth, says the Lord.
Don't expect justice, but we never cease to give it.
