“Awaken, awaken”. I heard Him whisper.
“I am awake Lord!”
“Awaken, awaken”.
“Lord, I said I am awake!”
“Awaken, awaken”, He whispered yet again.
“Please Lord, I don’t understand, I am awake!” I reply slightly indignant.
“Your body is awake, your mind is awake, but your spirit is sleeping.” He gently replies.
“Lord, I can hear you, my spirit hears you?” I respond as a question.
“Now, it does. I have been calling for some weeks now, and you have only just responded.” He says.
“Oh Lord, I know, I have been busy again, but I have been speaking to You”. I say.
“Yes, you have been speaking to me, but you haven’t heard what I have said back.”
“Lord, I heard what you said in the dream the other night, I am positive that I got the interpretation right.”
“Yes, I did speak to you in a dream, you did remember the dream, wrote it in your journal, and interpreted it correctly.”
“Well, then I don’t understand?”
“I speak with you many different ways, at many different times, particularly in dreams.”
“Yes, I know this Lord.”
“The conversation we have been having is slightly stilted and has not been flowing as easily backwards and forwards.”
“Lord, I am aware that it hasn’t been as easy to hear you, but only because I have been caught up in the mundane, and You know that there were things that had to be done.” I say.
“When I speak to you in a dream and then you interpret, you must then apply it.”
“I thought I was!”
“Oh daughter, I am about to lead you into the higher ways of my heart. I showed you that in the dream….who can ascend the mountain of the Lord, those with clean hands and a pure heart.”
“Lord, are you saying my hands and my heart need work?”
“No, little one, I am saying that you now have the time and you need to expect Me wherever and whenever, even if it is not convenient for you. I am constantly speaking to you, I have been even in those busy months recently past, I know you have heard some of what I have been saying, but it is now time to completely awaken and to focus on the destiny that you have been called to.”
“I’m listening Lord.”
“Yes, you are beginning to, I want you to fix your eyes upon Me and upon what you know that I have called you to do. To really look at the bigger picture. I am aware that you doubt and sometimes think that the dreams are just your grandiose wishes, they are not. Look at Joseph. Look at Daniel. Look at David. When I called them, they were not held in positions of esteem, but they heard Me whisper and they held onto what I told them and I poured My blessings and My favour upon them, even when it seemed like they would never achieve what I had told them earlier, and in fact it seemed as if the opposite was happening. But I raised them into positions of authority that I had planned before they even came into existence.
I have been stripping away all the things that you have put before Me, and now there is only you and I left, and that is how it should be. I will cause you to shine. You will be a light in the darkness and you will achieve all I have prepared for you. I will pour my favour and my blessings upon you and take you up My mountain higher, higher, higher than you have ever been before and you will begin to see with a fresh clarity as you come in closer, closer, closer to Me and I will place you in a position of responsibility above and beyond all that you can even imagine. Let these words from My heart begin to resonate within your very being. Fix your mind upon them, chew upon them, look for ways that I will expand upon them and open doors for you. Expect Me to open the doors so that you can walk through to achieve My purposes and My plans. These ways will not be the familiar, and you will testify to many how you can hear Me lead and guide, and in turn this will bring comfort and encouragement to many to begin to “hear with new ears” in so many ways. You are called to be a forerunner in these things, and you already know this, but I don’t think you realised how hard and how lonely it would actually be, even in your excitement about what I was doing. But I will be with you every step of the way and I will place those around you as the need arises, and give you discernment on how to plough and how to proceed. I will give you the words to speak, the favour to walk into places that you never dreamed possible……it will be clear that it is not of your own effort but only by My Spirit. Your story will resonate in the hearts of many and lead those that already know Me into the higher places too and those that are yet to meet with Me into My very presence. You are ready to listen now, you are ready to have “ears to hear”.
