DON'T FALL IN BETWEEN

DON'T FALL IN BETWEEN When I send you on a mission I confirm it by My Spirit, in  word and deed to help you to know you are on the right path. I open and close doors that no man could open or shut. I give you the reassurance of peace in order that you might make the tough decisions that separate you from the comfort of familiar surroundings. This is the first part of your mission,  relocation. There is no doubt of My leading, your mouth is filled with testimonies, that thrill people as you share the obvious divine interventions. There is absolutely no doubt during this period. "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."  Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)  Now the hard part of your call, the in between time, the valley, the wilderness, the dry place, this is where you your maturity is tested. Will you be able to see the end from the beginning.  "But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it ". Romans 8:25 (KJV) It's the mundane, everyday nothing happening that causes most believers to fall through the cracks in the desert floor. What you must understand is that the journey is lengthened by complaining. When you complain you are regretting you followed Me to this new place. This puts the breaks on all advancement and causes you to go into a holding pattern, because if you can't handle the mundane how will face the giants.  This is what happened when Israel changed from praise to murmuring;  "Israel believed (My) words trusting in, relying on them; they sang (My) praise. [13] But they hastily forgot (My) works; they did not earnestly wait for (My) plans to develop regarding them, [14] But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted and tried to restrain (My) with their insistent desires in the desert. [15] And (I) gave them their request, but sent leanness into their souls and thinned their numbers by disease and death." Psalm 106:12-15 (AMP) Complaining is not a light thing with Me, it can cost you everything if you do not praise Me in the wilderness. Three million people died going in circles because they continued to complain, two of the originals made it! And this is why;  "They told Moses, We came to the land to which you sent us; surely it flows with milk and honey. This is its fruit. [28] But the people who dwell there are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; moreover, there we saw the sons of Anak of great stature and courage. [29] Amalek dwells in the land of the South (the Negeb); the Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along by the side of the Jordan River. [30] Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; WE ARE WELL ABLE to conquer it. [31] But his fellow scouts said, WE ARE NOT ABLE to go up against the people of Canaan, for they are stronger than we are. [32] So they brought the Israelites an evil report of the land which they had scouted out, saying, The land through which we went to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. [33] There we saw the Nephilim or giants, the sons of Anak, who come from the giants; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."  Numbers 13:27-33  (AMP) Joshua and Caleb saw the grapes the rest saw the giants. Only two could see the reason for the journey, the stuck it out and possessed the land. Refrain from complaining, cross the desert you will be so glad you did. "And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint." Galatians 6:9 (AMP)
