“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”
We are stepping over a threshold of fulfilment where time is aligned with Gods purpose and blessing. Where duplicity will have no place. It is possible to have the outside appearance of righteous propriety whilst beneath being corrupt and misaligned.
Authority can only be exercised from a place of trustworthiness and honesty.
Upon any other foundation it will begin to crumble and fracture.
The true gospel has the power to transform lives but must be coming from trustworthy voices. What has been a Victorian mindset morphs into a Victorious when wheat is separated from the chaff.
“His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”
A cause for spring shoots to burst out and chicks to hatch from the pure strength and force of inner life emerging, erupting and breaking out.
God is wanting us to bring order out of chaos in a time where everyone seems to be doing their own thing irrespective.
“In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
A day where people’s judgement has been corrupted by self seeking only.
There are no parameters or clarity to thinking.
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
We as living waters should rise up and flow forth in His power and strength to reclaim. Where our power and strength has become diminish the world is crying out for clarity, guidance and direction.
Where all are scattered and disorientated there is a cry and therefore an opportunity for us as the body to be the solution to reform unity, order and safety corporately.
The face that has appeared to be stoic and in control has crumpled to expose hidden sin to be rife. As such like Lazarus the body appears dead and only Jesus’ call to arise and for the death clothes to be removed so that there is evidence of life in existence still.
Favour and new clothes have to be received. Time to keep in step with Jesus as the clock ticks a new time. The grace and glory of every colour and diversity is available to be laid upon us.
We are blessed like Joseph to be robed in a robe of many colours and be come the Father’s solution.
The illustration shows the spiritual diversity of colours that we are clothed in emanating the bright light that pushes back the darkness.

Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV
