Can you Hear the
Sound?
As I
was out walking this morning I heard the wind in the trees and the
phrase – the horses are running – can you hear them?
David had already defeated the Philistines and
named the place of his breakthrough.
Then David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I
go up against the Philistines? Wilt Thou give them into my hand?" And
the LORD said to David, "Go up, for I will certainly give the
Philistines into your hand." So David came to Baal-perazim, and defeated
them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before
me like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore he named that place Baal-perazim.
2 Samuel 5: 18-20
Yet once again he face the same enemy, the giants
he had previously defeated were before him, on his horizon. He enquired
of the Lord and was to wait until he hear the sound in the tops of the
trees then he was to go at the Lord’s command. He was not to go against
the enemy the same way he had previously defeated him, as he was to do
something new. We are facing many of the enemies we have previously
defeated, but the Lord desires to bring a final victory that we might
have peace in the place of His calling. Sometimes have to face the same
enemy, but in a new way and the timing of the final defeat is the key to
moving into a place of lasting peace. We are to move forward only at the
Lord’s command. If we move to soon things will not have been prepared
and if we wait too long the moment of victory may have passed.
Now the Philistines came up once again and spread
themselves out in the valley of Rephaim. And when David inquired of the
LORD, He said, ""You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them
and come at them in front of the balsam trees. And it shall be, when you
hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you
shall act promptly, for then the LORD will have gone out before you to
strike the army of the Philistines. 2 Samuel 5: 22-24
In October, I saw the following: There were armies
of horsemen lined up; coming into order beginning to face the same,
direction and many being reposition to be aligned with those on either
side for effectiveness. In times past, He has passed before the troops
inspecting and bringing order. The troops are trained; readied for a
pass and review. They will pass before the Lord and all eyes will be on
Him. He is now sending forth and releasing. In His positioning, many are
released into that He has prepared, trained and equipped to do, which is
building and establishing His Kingdom as we co-labor with Him.
He’s releasing His Spirit of Might. It’s not by
power and not by might, but by His Spirit, as it is the power of His
might emerging. The closer we draw to Him the more understanding we will
have of His Spirit of Might. Suddenly God will establish His promises as
He is restoring lost dreams, visions and promises; dreams are being
brought to remembrance, times of renewed vision. We’ve been waiting for
a sound, the sound of Him moving in the earth.
Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My
holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day
of the LORD is coming; surely it is near, Joel 2:1
Do you sense the swirling or a stirring in the
heavens? While it is yet dark, you know, you sense and you feel the
effects, but since the sun has not risen you don’t have the ability to
see. You are to keep pressing upward towards Me, as I am arising in your
midst. When I arise, there will be light to see that which has been
stirring; soon you will have tangible evidence of what you’ve been
hearing and sensing. You are to stand in faith believing for those
promises. You are to stand in what appears to be the dark places waiting
for My light to make entrance, to unfold and as it does your
anticipation will give way to action, but it will be at My direction and
timing. You are to wait in faith looking forward and keeping watch to
see what I would say. It may appear nothing is happening but I am
arranging and preparing behind the scenes. I am speaking in a still
small voice, but I am also speaking in all things that surround you.
Your cry is - open my eyes Lord that I might see what you’re saying –
open my ears that I might hear your word and the sound of your
preparation. This is a season to have your spiritual senses expanded.
You are not only to have eyes to see and ears to hear, but you are to
have understanding. I am not only giving you understanding during this
season, but I am working to give you wisdom. The sons of Issachar not
only knew the times and seasons of their God, but they knew what was to
be done. You have the ability to see and hear, but are transitioning
into a season where you will know the timing of what you should do. You
are not to run ahead of Me, but to wait on My timing, wait on my sound
so that you can move when I move, rest when I say to rest and wait when
I say wait. You are in the transition place of ceasing from your labors
and entering into My rest, which is co-laboring with Me, as I build My
house, My tabernacle, My dwelling within you to bring forth My purposes
in your lives and in the earth.
