New Spiritual Sons - A New Place
A now word for the bride
About the process of being birthed into a new spiritual place bearing new spiritual sons. (Please read Part One "Shirtness of Spirit")
I believe the process of new birth from a narrow place to a broader one, from a generation of bound people to a generation of set free people was given to us by the Lord in Exodus 6:
Exodus 6:2-9 MKJV And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah. 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty (El Shaddai). But I was not known to them by the name JEHOVAH. 4 And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they traveled. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, those whom the Egyptians are keeping in bondage. And I have remembered My covenant. 6 Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you out of their bondage. And I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments. 7 And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God. And you shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you in to the land concerning which I lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And I will give it to you for a heritage. I am Jehovah! 9 And Moses said so to the sons of Israel. But they did not listen to Moses through anguish of spirit and through cruel bondage.
Exodus 6:2-9 HOT וידבר אלהים אל־משׁה ויאמר אליו אני יהוה׃ 3 וארא אל־אברהם אל־יצחק ואל־יעקב באל שׁדי ושׁמי יהוה לא נודעתי להם׃ 4 וגם הקמתי את־בריתי אתם לתת להם את־ארץ כנען את ארץ מגריהם אשׁר־גרו בה׃ 5 וגם אני שׁמעתי את־נאקת בני ישׂראל אשׁר מצרים מעבדים אתם ואזכר את־בריתי׃ 6 לכן אמר לבני־ישׂראל אני יהוה והוצאתי אתכם מתחת סבלת מצרים והצלתי אתכם מעבדתם וגאלתי אתכם בזרוע נטויה ובשׁפטים גדלים׃ 7 ולקחתי אתכם לי לעם והייתי לכם לאלהים וידעתם כי אני יהוה אלהיכם המוציא אתכם מתחת סבלות מצרים׃ 8 והבאתי אתכם אל־הארץ אשׁר נשׂאתי את־ידי לתת אתה לאברהם ליצחק וליעקב ונתתי אתה לכם מורשׁה אני יהוה׃ 9 וידבר משׁה כן אל־בני ישׂראל ולא שׁמעו אל־משׁה מקצר רוח ומעבדה קשׁה׃
When God sets you free out of bondage and narrow place into a broad place of freedom to worship Him, He will take you through this process. He…
· Speaks to you as His messenger and says “I am God” and no one else is, not even you.
· He appears and reveals Himself to you as a mother (El Shaddai), who keeps you as a child close to His breast and feeds you to supply all your needs. He does not come to you as Jehovah and point to the Law to discipline you, but He comes as a mother who makes sure you can grow.
· He establishes His agreement with you and begins to show you His faithfulness. He wants you to know He gave you an agreement which He will never break. He wants to bring you to a place of trusting Him and His faithfulness. No matter how messed up and bound in slavery you are, He will still be faithful and loving to you.
· He hears your suffering and pain when you fall into slavery to sin and you are bound to the point where you cannot see the way out. However, He remembers His agreement and keeps it because of who He is as Jehovah. You mess up and He shows up, until you get it – “I am faithful and committed to you”.
· He sends a messenger to tell you “I AM Jehovah – meaning “I AM the God who is present with you. I AM here, do you see Me? I AM the covenant keeping God because I am not a man and I mean it when I say I will set you free and bless you”.
· I am here to take you out from your suffering under your enemies.
· I am here to save you from bondage and works.
· I am here to redeem you by My strong arm and great judgments, because you cannot free yourself.
· I am here to take you for Myself as a nation and My children will be revealed.
· I am here to be your God and no one else.
· You will know that I AM Jehovah your God who takes you out from your sufferings under your enemies who oppress you.
· I am here to bring you to the Promised Heart (Land).
· I am here to give you My heart (land) to inherit.
· I AM the Lord who IS and no one else is.
These promises will be fulfilled for God’s beloved bride when the prophets who prepare the way for the Lord will come to the scene. John was the last prophetic voice before the ministry of Jesus. These promises will be fulfilled when this new prophetic voice is birthed in the Earth, and the former generation (Zacharias), which was shut up in silence until this voice is birthed, will be able to testify and bless the Lord because He visited and worked redemption.
Luke 1:67-75 LITV And his father Zacharias was filled of the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He visited and worked redemption for His people. 69 And He raised up a Horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David; 70 even as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from the age before: 71 Salvation from ones hostile to us, and from the hand of all the ones hostile to us, 72 to execute mercy with our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant, 73 the oath which He swore to our father Abraham, 74 to give to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of those hostile to us, in order to serve Him without fear, 75 in consecration and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.
Yes, we will bless the Lord who visited us and redeemed, who raised up Salvation (Jesus) in His house. Bless His name for rescuing us from our enemies because He remembers. Because of who He is and He never changes His mind. Bless His name for He delivered us from our enemies so we can serve Him with no fear because His perfect love will be revealed to us. This is when we will be able to serve in holiness and righteousness all our life.
When we get it that He works out Salvation for Himself. When we get it that before deliverance there is always pressure and shortness of breath (spirit). When we get it that the Lord wants to visit us, reveal Himself to us, work miracles, deliver, set free and know that He is God, not us. When we get it that a covenant (agreement) is done with people because they don't trust and believe, so God in His goodness and grace said "ok, I'll write it down for you and give you a contract with all My promises to you, and you will keep it because I am going to fulfill every point in my contract with you.
Contracts are made because there is no trust, but fear that they might be broken. Yet, God never breaks His contracts. He gave us one to help us believe Him and follow Him, but he wants to be El Shaddai, the nature He revealed to our fathers. They didn't know Him by the name Jehovah (the covenant keeping God) because they believed and trusted Him. There was no need for a contract. God wants to take us beyond contracts to that place where we trust who He is. Where we trust His nature and know His love. Where we want to stay with Him and love Him even if He doesn't promise us anything. But as we see, His word is filled with promises because we needed them. When this last prophetic voice is birthed (John) then the generation of fathers will believe this baby (new fruit) is really different. The heart of the spiritual fathers will turn to their spiritual sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers. (Malachi 4:6). Then the fathers will release their son to be who they are, no longer naming sons after their fathers.
The generation of the fathers will know that their sons are different and will not be who they are. They have a unique calling and a different name. The sons with the prophetic voice will not be called "God Remembers” (Zacharias), but “God gave Grace” (John).
When the generation o spiritual fathers understand that relationship with God is not based on God remembering His covenant, then they will know that their relationship with their sons cannot be based on remembering an agreement. Relationship is based on God giving grace to bound, slaves, selfish and fearful people whom He loves enormously; therefore fathers-sons relationships will also be based on “God gave Grace”.Once the generation of the spiritual fathers will understand the purpose of their spiritual sons and will no longer try and shape them to be like them, to become who they are, to fit their form, they will be able to raise up a generation of a prophetic voice which will turn hearts around.
These promises will be fulfilled when the generation of the fathers will recognize the time and season. They will know that their sons cannot be priests as they are, that it’s time to focus on the sons and not on what others will say, but release their sons to their calling. It will be a different ministry that prepares the hearts (love) of people for the coming of the Lord. All will marvel and wonder what kind of a child (generation) will this be.
Luke 1:63-66 MKJV And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled. 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosened. And he spoke and praised God. 65 And fear came on all who lived all around them. And all these things were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea. 66 And all those who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying, What kind of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. It will be a generation that acknowledges and knows they need to decrease, to become weaker, so the Lord will increase. They will know their place in the body.
THE LORD IS RAISING UP A NEW GENERATION OF SPIRITUAL FATHERS AND SONS. THE FATHERS WHO WERE SILENT FOR A SEASON WILL KNOW AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE GENERATION THEY WILL BE RAISING UP WILL NOT AND CANNOT BE THE TYPICAL PRIESTS LIKE THEM. THIS IS A DIFFERENT GENERATION THAT WILL NOT BE PUT IN THE BOX OF THEIR FATHERS OR RELATIVES. THEY WILL NOT BE WHO OTHERS EXPECT THEM TO BE. THEY WILL GROW IN GRACE, BE NURTURED, ACKNOWLEDGED, RAISED UP AND ACCEPTED BY THEIR FATHERS FOR WHO THEY ARE. THEY WILL BE SET FREE TO BECOME A VOICE IN THE EARTH AND THESE TWO GENERATIONS TOGETHER WILL TURN HEARTS AROUND.
This is why after the disgrace is removed and we will praise the Lord for doing miracles for us, we will also know that He is God, and not us. Then He will revive us with His breath for the shortness of our breath. All people, young and old, the new generation of sons and the former of fathers, will be filled with God's breath (spirit).
Joel 2:26-29 NLT Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the LORD your God, who does these miracles for you. Never again will My people be disgraced. 27 Then you will know that I am among My people Israel, that I am the LORD your God, and there is no other. Never again will My people be disgraced. 28 "Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out My Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. 29 In those days I will pour out My Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. Revival, life, power, increase, multiplying, growth, freedom always comes after a season of severe bondage and slavery, afflictions and shortness of breath (spirit) because the enemy does not want to let go. Like a snake he tries to choke the life out of you. These will increase like birth pangs until the day of birth and freedom from bondage.
You might be feeling shortness of breath, but remember that the Spirit of God made you, and the breath of the Almighty gives you life”. Job 33:4
The lower you get and the weaker you become the more you multiply and increase in power.
Love,
Elana
