A Time to Tear
The Lord says, “This is a season when I am tearing apart all that needs to be torn. In the ripping, I am tearing away kingdoms from those like Saul, the disobedient ones who chose to act upon their own heart’s desires rather than from those that originate from My heart – the heart of Adonai. I will no longer tolerate the insincere, those who seek self-promotion, or those wanting to build their own kingdoms and legacies. For My Name is above all names and I will be the One who receives all the Glory.
For this reason, I am searching hearts and focusing on those whose hearts are pure and whose hands are clean. I seek those whose eyes and ears are attuned to My voice, willing to surrender their own agendas and fully take up My call. These are those who will build and lead according to My plans and designs without any deviation or compromise and who are committed to a lifestyle of oneness with Me in all things. And for those whose hearts and desires are fully knitted together with Mine, I will reward.”
Activation: What are you currently building for your own glory or the glory of man rather than the glory of God?
Using Psalm 139:23-24 (ESV) as a prayer, invite Holy Spirit to search your heart and examine the foundations of everything that you are currently building and how you are currently leading.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me. Please identify for me where my desires to build or lead are rooted in the glory of man rather than Your glory and lead me in the way everlasting!”
Ecclesiastes 3:7 (NCV)
There is a time to tear apart and a time to sew together.
1 Samuel 15:27-28 (ESV)
As Samuel turned to go away, Saul seized the skirt of his robe, and it tore. And Samuel said
to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.”
Psalm 24:3-6 (NCV)
Who may go up on the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy Temple? Only those with clean hands and pure hearts, who have not worshiped idols, who have not made promises in the name of a false god. They will receive a blessing from the LORD.
