A Letter from Jesus - Arise, Oh Sleeper
My voice sends out a warning.
Just as an alarm alerts your attention to a fire by first acknowledging the smoke, so my voice calls out to those who recognize the signs before the great day.
Awake awake and arise, oh sleeper!
My Light shines brightest in the center of the fire. My love burns hotter in the center of the flame.
All consuming.
All devouring.
Do not resent the fire. Do not run from what will refine you and perfect you.
Many times you rebuke the evil one when the ground below begins to shake, but surely listen to my words. Take into careful consideration what I am about to announce. It isn’t the accuser who is shaking the ground you stand upon. No. It is I, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, the everlasting God, who is shaking your foundations.
I have come to shake all things.
I have come to disrupt the distractions in your life. I have come to set fire to the things that consume your mind and your heart. I have come to test the waters, to pave the way, to let down barriers and build bridges to a land you could not enter if it wasn’t for my mercy and grace. YES! Do you see the unmasking of deceptions? Are you beginning to understand what I am doing? I have come to divide the good from the evil in your heart. I have come to wage a war against the things that steal your attention from mine. My desire toward you burns with compassion and love. For when my eyes are met with yours, my heart beats dangerously. You have billowed your praises to my throne room and I cannot stand to keep myself from you. No. I need to be with you and fill you with my holy presence.
This intimacy is what you were made for.
My fellowship is everlasting. Come and rest deep into my love. Press past doubt and do not allow your thoughts to tell you that I am not present before you. Surely I tell you as truth, your mind cannot comprehend the spiritual realm of what occurs around you when you praise my Holy name. There is a battle being made for your attention, for your heart. But I have placed a hedge of FIRE around you that no demon can penetrate.
A sword is being placed into your hand.
Truth and honor are yours. Shall you speak and watch the mountains move? Shall you demand and watch the enemy flee? Shall you lavish your love upon me, and I to you? My dear one, all authority and power is in your possession There is no need to ask for what you already obtain. I purchased your freedom, handed over My power, and poured out My Spirit. So much has been given at such an extravagant price. Surely you cannot comprehend such a thing, so this is why I require faith.
Believe and receive. Believe and set free.
Partake in the marriage feast. Look ahead! Do you see? I have set a table before you in the presence of our foes. The divine occurrence of love shall be seen to all. I find it pleasing for them to watch as I serve you the meal of preparation to the Kingdom. I find it joyful to sit with you and delight in who you are to me. For when I say that I enjoy you, I mean just that. I truly enjoy you my beloved. As a husband loves his wife, so does my love run wild for you. Even more so than the natural affection of man or woman, my love runs deeper, wider, stronger, more profound and robust than any earthly love.
Prominence has been lifted.
Your majesty awaits for your hand. Shall you step forward to the altar of grace? Shall you accept the invitation of this marriage? Surely you must attend…for you are the bride. The spotless bride who wears white before the King. My heart burns within my chest for you, my beloved. As we are one in the Father, so we are ONE in the Spirit. When I burn, so you shall as well. I say listen my beloved, listen to what I am saying. Be consumed by my all consuming fire. Let it burn within you for all the world to see. Surely no one can deny that you love me. Surely no one can subject you to criticism that you do not in fact know me. For I see your heart and I am reading your lips. They are set ablaze for my Name’s sake. And so all the world shall see what I have done. All the world shall now know of who I am.
Burn for me and this world shall see me.
Burn for me and this world shall know me.
Burn for me and you'll change the world for me.
I have given you a platform of power.
You must announce my coming and my going. I have given you a voice to proclaim to the nations that I soon shall return for my beloved church. Tell them all that I, the one who comes with clouds, shall return quickly and without hesitation. Faithful and True! They shall see the great and terrible day of the Lord! They shall see me and the Spirit will rejoice from within them. This is how they will know that it is I. For the Spirit leads in all truth. Surely I will come again.
Keep your eyes to the sky.
For my creation is unveiling the story!
Wait and be ready.
Wait and listen.
I am closer than you think.
Your Delivered Promise, Jesus
