"Something Truly Wonderful and Marvelous Is About To Happen For you!"
by Lonnie Mackley Jan. 9th, 2017
I felt led to encourage you today that no matter what you have been going through; no matter how you have been feeling or not feeling; no matter how much loss and disappointment you have faced in your life; no matter how bad things have happened along the way, and no matter how weary and heartbroken you may be feeling right now, that something truly wonderful and marvelous is about to happen for you where even when you finally see it, even you will have a very hard time believing it!
You may be thinking, well I have heard these kinds of words before and nothing has happened, but take a good look at what’s been happening around you and you will see all the signs of something new about to start. You have been going through a progressive wind-down of the old where there feels like there is no life left in it, and you have felt in your heart a new freshness and anticipation of the new beginning to form, and even through you are afraid to believe you can sense it happening.
You have waited, prayed, sacrificed, and cried tears for this time to come, but you have become weary from all the trials and battles along the way where like Moses you may be tempted to just let go of the old promise that God gave you when He called you to this path long ago. But there is still a little spark of faith that burns in you, and you know you must hang on to the end no matter what. The Lord may seem like He is taking forever, but it’s only because He wants you to be fully ready.
So if you have felt very empty and alone lately this does not mean that it’s over for you, it just means that you are a vessel that has been fully emptied out, and the new wine is about to be poured into you to overflowing. This isn’t a time to be giving up and throwing in the towel, it is a time to go back to believing the faithful God that called you to this path in the first place. Soon God’s presence and power will sweep over you like a tsunami; and when it does, your life will never be the same again!
JOB 8:21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.
P.S. Below is a part from the movie The Ten Commandments that may also speak to you. If God brought Moses and the Israelites through their wilderness, He can also bring you though as well.
Stripped of all rank and earthly wealth, a forsaken man without a country, without a hope, his soul in turmoil like the hot winds and raging sands that lash him with the fury of a taskmaster's whip. He is driven forward, always forward, by a god unknown, toward a land unseen... into the molten wilderness of sin, where granite sentinels stand as towers of living death to bar his way. Each night brings the black embrace of loneliness. In the mocking whisper of the wind, he hears the echoing voices of the dark... Moses! His tortured mind wondering if they call the memory of past triumphs or wail foreboding of disasters yet to come or whether the desert's hot breath has melted his reason into madness. He cannot cool the burning kiss of thirst upon his lips nor shade the scorching fury of the sun. All about is desolation. He can neither bless nor curse the power that moves him, for he does not know from where it comes. Learning that it can be more terrible to live than to die, he is driven onward through the burning crucible of desert, where holy men and prophets are cleansed and purged for god's great purpose, until at last, at the end of human strength, beaten into the dust from which he came, the metal is ready for the maker's hand.
