I am very thankful for those pioneers of the kingdomof god, going all the way back to Abraham, who've braved the unknown and the scorn of others to press forward in their obediance to God's call and leading. We owe everything we are and everything we have to the spiritual pioneers who've faced misunderstanding and death at almost every turn to pave the way for those of us in this day settle enjoy the blessings and benifits, both from spiritual and natural dimensions.
There are many pioneers still moving forward into realms yet unreached for no other reason than they heard the voice of Abba call them, and they left all to pursue him out of Love and simple obediance. This is a lonely, misunderstood and often dangerous place to be, fraught with spiritual, mental, emotional, financial and relational pressures and warfare that we may not be aware of. I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR THOSE PIONEERS THAT ANSWERED THE CALL OD GOD TO PRESS INTO THE UNKNOWN:YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE.Pioneers may have failings, but they are not failures.
Ezekial 13:5 (NKJV) says, " You have not gone up into the gaps to build a wall for the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord."
Pioneers who have pressed on past their own comfort to embrace the cross of Christ within inorder to prepare a way, a place and a people for His presence and His purposes, are having to deal with a great sence of failure. A LOT OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RESPONCE FROM OTHERS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT'S MESSAGE and work through these pioneers. My word from The Lord, again, to those pioneers: YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE !
Pioneers may have failings , but if they have obeyed and endured, they are NOT failures. Pioneers make all the mistakes becasue they have gone into places no-one else has gone, except for the Lord himself. Pioneers are not promised that they will not make mistakes, but just like Moses, God Promises to be with them. " Pioneers are called by God to follow Him and if they make mistakes, they can recover, learn from them adjust and press on.
As a pioneer, have You ever gone into A BOXED CANYON ? You might have thought, " WHAT HAVE I DONE ? How did I miss God ? If I were only more (fill in the blank), this would not have happened " YOU HAVE NOT FAILED. Repent for any self pity, come out of the boxed canyon and place a sign there that says, " Boxed Canyon ... don't go in there ! YOUR SEEMING FAILURE BECOMES A PATH THAT SUCCEEDING GENERATIONS AND FOLLOWERS WILL NOT HAVE TO TAKE. HAVING FAILINGS DOES NOT MAKE US A FAILURE. If we learn from them, it makes us wise, vunerable and ever more sensitive to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit.
Was Abraham a failure?
Remember Elijah, My Children!
Recently I was dealing withThe very same question of appearing to be a failure becasue the success of the ministry seemed to be in grear doubt. While out pryaer wlking and seeking the Lord He asked Me a question: Was Abraham a fialure ? rememebr Elijah, Son! That's all He said to Me, but every fialing I have expereinced and every burden I'd been under was instantly lifted off of My heart.I've had many failings bothb personal and ministerial, but the Lord was letting Me know that I was not a failure in his eyes, becasue I kept moving forward in obediance to Him. Both Abraham and Elijah obeyed the Lord and launched out as pioneers into unexplored territory filled with incrdible demonic activity. they simply obeyed in Love, not knowing what to ecxpect but knowing who called them, and they were convinced He was faithful to keep them. Both men had personal struggles and failures. But in spite of their failings they were not a failure in God's sight. Both Abraham and Eiljah recieved God's stamp of approval for their obediance and faithfulness.
Like Abraham, there are many daring to tread uncharted wilderness territory where no-body has gone before. "Abe" was told to leave His fmaily, who were idolaters., whon practiced chld sacrifice. HE HAD TO LEAVE THE FAMILIAR TO ENGAGE IN GOD'S PROMISES. He had to find the fatherhood of God.and be trained in his ways, so he, in turn, could become the " Father of Many Nations."
that the Lord had promised ( not to mention, The Salvation of The Whole Human Race through The Child of Promise JESUS CHRIST,
who would come forth.)
Abraham was not only being called to go to a land, Abba would eventually giver to a covenant people, but to bring tranformaiotn to human fatherhood , by revaeling his own fatherhoodd, in type, through Abraham. Abrahm was apioneernot just of aland and a people, but bringing the fatherhood of god back to the human race, so he could be known and expereinced as Abba. Abraham had many failings but He was not a failure !
To all those pioneers who have answered god's call to uncharted, spiritual or other territory:You may have fialed
