Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Psalm 119:54
My holy people, be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world!
The journey has taken many turns, many ups and downs, many things that you neither expected nor were equipped to handle, but I have been your sustaining fountain throughout your journey so far. This will not change, nor can it; for I am your only source of life. On this day that you celebrate My life on earth, I come to deliver you some keys for your continued journeying with Me. These keys may open the eyes for some. For others these keys will be needed for the next leg of the journey. For still others, these keys will be needed to unlock secrets of My Word, where I show how to journey with Me in living. For others still, these keys will open up a whole new realm of living, of life found in Me. No matter where you are, or think you are, in the journey with Me, I come today to give you these keys that cut away the trappings of religions, and get to the real issues of this pilgrimage, this journeying, with Me.
The First Key
My holy people; the first key that I give you is to let you know that you have been at Gilgal for way too long. Some have been stuck here for years, while others find they have only now arrived at Gilgal. All of you, My holy people, no matter what you may discern in terms of doctrine and dogma, have crossed over into the promised land. Yes, there is a place I have prepared for you in heaven, but there is also a place I have prepared for you in earth. If you have been born again, if you have been given My life, then you have crossed over. Let’s make this so simple. Before you were dead. Now you are alive. If you are alive in Me, then you have crossed over into the promised land of living on earth. The place you first go, after making this amazing start of the journey, is Gilgal; the place of circumcision. This is not about outward circumcision, but the circumcision of the heart that prepares you to make your journey with Me. All must go to this place. All are called to deal with their sins at the place of My choosing: Gilgal. You entered into life by faith. You also entered into the place of circumcision by faith. Here you learn how to receive My grace for your sins. Here you learn to leave your sins at the foot of My cross. Here at Gilgal you have learned that your only hope of truly living, is to cast all of your cares upon Me, all of your sin cares upon Me. Brokenness over your own sinfulness, even after stepping over into the promised land, is what I am after in your life. Continued brokenness over your own sinfulness, is the fruit that is created at Gilgal. This choice fruit is necessary to keep your heart tender before Me, consecrated to Me and thankful for Me.
At Gilgal you received My heart, regarding your continued sinfulness and need for a Savior. Here I taught you how to remain humble before Me and how to live a life that is dependent upon Me. This place of circumcision of heart is needed for all to begin this journey with Me. Know this however – Gilgal is not meant to be a place where you camp for the rest of your lives. Gilgal is meant as a stopping place, a base camp of sorts, where you learned many things at My side, but then we move on together. Those that camp at Gilgal will suffer many things. Through shame, through control, through many things, the vast majority of My holy people have camped at Gilgal. This has not been My plan but the plan of the one that comes to steal, kill and destroy. Circumcision is a sign of life. But for those that have camped at Gilgal, all that has come is death. Death comes when you cease to make the journey with Me. Death comes when My Way is forsaken for another. Death comes when My Truth is ignored and falsehood is setup as a standard, a false standard, for living. This may be hard to understand, but all of you have been at Gilgal. All of My Church, has camped at Gilgal for way too long. I am come to bring you this key, so that you may move from the place of circumcision, to a place of partnering, of journeying, with Me. You have suffered many things at Gilgal. The most significant is your sense of adventure. How could repeated circumcision be seen as an adventure? Many have not only been circumcised, but have been castrated at Gilgal. All their vitality, all of the life, has been sucked out and all that is left is an empty husk. Not able to reproduce, these languish at Gilgal, not knowing that a grand adventure awaits them. This is not about dealing with your sin, but this is about dealing with the life I have given you.
Will you continue your journey with Me? Will you radically follow Me the rest of your life? Then begin today, to step out into real living. Do not accept the counterfeit of real living. You have been watching an illusion. Step out of the place of circumcision, and once again follow Me. The Second Key My holy people, if you are willing to follow Me, then begin to follow Me. Do not bow at the foot of your own idols. Do not bow at the graven image of your own imagination. Do not allow all My life to be wasted, while you continue to needlessly practice idolatry. This journey is about keeping Me in sight at all times. This journey is about knowing when I move and then following Me on the journey. I want you to practice real pilgrimage, not some form that has been created in your own mind or in the mind of another. I want you to be able to know with certainty that I am moving, and then to follow Me. This means there is an ability that I have given you, to know Me and to know My movement. This also means that I have given you an ability to discern My moving. Not only that, but there is an ability that I have given you to confirm My moving. To be able to make this journey with me, you must know, discern and confirm My movement and as you do that, you can move forward with certainty, you can move forward with a heart of faith toward Me. Quit looking for your own ability, but look for the One that I have sent to you, to be your helper along with way of the journey. Look for the Holy Spirit to let you know when I am moving. By being filled and as you continue by being filled with the Holy Spirit, you will continue to know Me and the power of My resurrection and the fellowship of My sufferings. In ever increasing frequency and fervency, you will know when I am moving and look for a way to confirm this movement, as you continue by being filled with the Holy Spirit. Do not delay. By being filled, this is movement and must always be your first movement with Me in the journey.
When the Holy Spirit nudges you, then discern according to My Word, where I am taking you. Again, quit looking for your own ability, but look to the Word to discern My movement. I have given you My Word as a play book for real living. Find My Word to be your source of real discernment. Have faith in Me to lead you forward, each step of the way, in accordance with My Word. My Word will not fail you. My Word will always confirm My true movement. My Word will always show you the direction of My movement and will discern the true meaning of journeying with Me. Allow revelation of My Word to transform your understanding into the place of knowing My will for you. Look to the Holy Spirit to lead you over and over again, to My Word. Here you will discern My movement. My Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. Allow Me to illuminate the journey for you. Finally, when the Holy Spirit nudges you and the Word discerns where I am taking you, then again, quit looking for your own ability to confirm My movement, but look to My Body to be the place of confirmation. I have given you My Body, the Church, for one another. You must know without any doubt, that you need one another.
Many are languishing along the way because they have forsaken the assembly of My Body and have forfeited their journey with Me. To these I say; repent. Be joined again with one another. Not with those that have castrated you at Gilgal. Not with those that exercise control and other wickedness upon you. Join with those who are journeying. Come together and know that there is safety in a multitude of counselors. Come together and know that I have made you for fellowship with one another. Come together and know that I have given you a place and a home and a sure foundation that none can take from you, as you join together. Come together as My Body. There, in that place of reciprocating love, allow My Body to function, confirming My movement for you. My holy people, will you journey with Me? Will you radically follow Me? Then get into position to do so. Allow My Holy Spirit, My Word and My Church, to propel you into the adventure of living.
The Third Key My holy people; now I want to tell you something that should be an encouragement to you. Do you know where you are headed? Let me tell you plainly. You are headed for Hebron. I have a new place for you. A place you have hoped for. A place you have dreamed of. A place that I will cause to become reality. Hebron is the place of friendship, a place of real horizontal relationships, a place where you find mutual association. Most of those that have stepped out to journey with Me have made little or no headway. Frustration has filled the life of some. Come journey with Me to Hebron. Allow Me to weave you into a masterful tapestry, one that will introduce new avenues for association and relationship. Allow Me to bring you to Hebron. Look for a flurry of dreams, of visions, of Holy Spirit initiated revelation, that will bring an awareness of the fullness of the meaning of Hebron to you. Allow My Holy Spirit to do a work in you that will show you how the dreams of the past were forfeited as you bowed at the idol of self will. You will not accomplish the dreams I have for you to do alone. You need one another. You need friends. You need My Body to be functioning as it should. Allow Me to do this. Yield to the journey. Come together as you have opportunity. There is no head except Me. Come together to help one another. Come together to serve one another. Come together to allow Me to lead and guide and do what no person can do. Come of the place of your inheritance. There are those that have been forerunners. These Calebs have had faith in Me to do many things. They have ventured into realms of revelation and faith that others have often scoffed at. But at the heart of the matter, they have had faith along the way to follow Me, to have faith in Me to do whatever is needed along the way. Hebron was a place in the old testament that was My inheritance to Caleb. Today, Hebron is likewise an inheritance for the forerunners, the Calebs that I have called to go before others to make a way. Also in My Word you will find that Hebron was a city of refuge. It was a place of great safety to those that had shed blood. I have given many revelation about the current age and how it is necessary to stand for the land, to bring healing to the land, to bring a constant cry up before My throne to bring down all the enemies of the land, of your land, of the place of your dwelling. I tell you plainly, Hebron is still a city of refuge.
Much change is coming to the earth. Some of it is My doing. Some of it is dependent upon your doing. To those that need safety, I have prepared a place for you. That place is Hebron. Find it. Fight for it. Overcome and receive your inheritance. Dwell in Hebron, the city of refuge, for there is much trouble coming. Be prepared. Be ready. Find your safety in Me, in the place where I will keep you safe, in Me. Also in My Word you will find that Hebron was the place where David first reigned. For seven years David ruled and reigned from the place called Hebron. This place of association anointing, is the same place I am bringing you. It is not the final destination, but it is a significant one. Many have been merchandised, or worse, when they have come together with false apostles, false prophets, false pastors and other false leaders. I tell you plainly, come together. No next “great one” is to rule over you, but I will lead and I will guide and I will set all in order. There will be leadership amongst you, but you will together know, discern and confirm, My leading, My movement, My journey in establishing those that are to lead. A new day is upon you. Are you ready? Are you ready to follow Me? Then know that in My Word, Hebron is also shown to be a fenced city. Plainly speaking, it is a safe place. I love you, My holy people. I really love you and care for you and want you to dwell in peace and safety with one another. There are great battles that must be fought together. In the place of Hebron, you will be safe. You will find healing. You will find forgiveness and rest from all your wounds along the way at Hebron. Hebron is the real base camp, not Gilgal. Hebron is the place where My rule is first established and becomes the safe place where together, you can find a resting place in Me. Prepare for the battles ahead. Prepare for the battle cry to be initiated. Not from some “great ones” but from the place where I have led you … Hebron. I will father you at Hebron. I will cause the weak to be equipped and sent out from Hebron as mighty men and women of war. I will once again cause your dreams and visions to come alive. Not by yourselves. Not in isolation. But in the place called Hebron, I will bring to life all that the enemy has stolen, killed and destroyed. I tell you plainly, rise from the dead, rise to your feet and follow Me to Hebron. Great are the plans and purposes I have for you.
The Fourth Key
Without Me you can do nothing. Likewise, without one another, you can do nothing. It is not good that man should be alone. I have given you an order. Come together. Come together at Hebron. There, you will find some things that you thought were dead. There, you will find some things that you thought were stolen. There, you will find some things that you thought were destroyed. In Hebron, I will cause the enemy to give back all that has been stolen, killed and destroyed, to you, My holy people. At Hebron, I will cause the failures of the past to become distant memories. I am doing a new thing and it will astound you all. Over the past seasons I have given you much in establishing relationship with Me. Father, Son and Holy Spirit have become more to you than dogma or belief. Fullness of relationship with Me is a priority and must remain so, but I am shifting some things. I want you to know that I am now bringing an emphasis on relationship with one another. Most do not even know how to develop friendships. I will lead you. I will guide you. I will connect you. Allow Me to do some things that will truly astound you.
So many have been hurt by the tares sown into My Church as leaders; I am instituting a new leadership. I am the Head, you are the branches. Allow Me to model for you true leadership in the days ahead. All the little teachings you have received in the past have been tainted. Control, manipulation, merchandising, and idolatry have been at the core of these teachings. You have been coerced to travel down an ever narrowing pathway that leads to one place – realization of a person’s dream/vision. This is not the narrow path that I have told you about in My Word. This is a false pathway, one meant to castrate you, one meant to steal your own life from you. I am telling you this so you can be aware of what the enemy has done throughout the Church. The gates of hell will not prevail, but I will prevail against all that the enemy has done to bring hurt and destruction to those that have a desire to follow Me.
What is this fourth key, you ask? The fourth key is to be able to recognize a healthy horizontal relationship, a friendship, a genuine relationship of trust when you see it. I tell you plainly, look for reciprocating love. This is the sign you will find. Reciprocating love is not after an agenda of its own. Reciprocating love looks for a two way symbiotic relationship to develop where mutual reciprocating love can function. Love goes both ways. Love is expressed both ways. Love is experience both ways. Love is given and love is received. Both parties, loving and being loved. Are you looking for something greater than this? You will not find it. I have created My Church to be the place where I assemble My bride-to-be. There I will cause My bride-to-be to function as it should. There I will cause My bride-to-be to be nurtured and to nurture. Come to Me, all that are weary, all that are heavy laden. I will give you rest for your souls. I will give you the relationships that you need to function in the world; relationships with Me and with other people. What greater things are you looking for than this? I am building My Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Look for the sign of reciprocating love to be at work in your relationships. If this is not happening, get out. Run, get out and forsake the place of control, manipulation and castration. Such places are not My Church, but a cheap counterfeit. Come out of Babylon. Completely forsake it. Begin the journey with Me to Hebron and I will build relationships of reciprocating love between My holy people.
A Journey is Made of Many Steps I love you and care compassionately for you. My holy people, there are many things that I would like to share with you, but you are not yet able to grasp these things. Come together. Seek My Face. Call upon My Name. Then as you come together, My graces, My equipping, and My gifts will operate in and through you. Then and only then, can you be and become an accurate expression of Christ in the earth. Take a step today My holy people. Take a step of faith by asking Me to make you a radical follower of Jesus Christ. Ask Me to deliver you from the dark and bring you to the light. Then each day as you rise, declare and decree over your life … Today I will walk in the freedom of the Lord. Each day, continue the journey with Me.
