"His Beloved Is Sealed"
I pray that this will encourage you.
Sincerely,

HIS BELOVED IS SEALED
I force my seal upon no man. My inscription is made upon the
one whose freewill decision has allowed me to be Lord and
Master. My very likeness and image is seen upon the one who is
fully yielded to Me. The signet ring of a King is pressed hard
against the soft clay, and not the hardened rock. I leave my
mark only upon the pliable, the repentant and the meek. My
inscription will not be seen upon a hardened stone or upon the
iron will of the rebellious. Pride will always resist the mark
of the cross, but the humble will receive it. Those whose
hearts are hardened through offense, idolatry or unbelief are
not sealed. My Spirit will not dwell within an unclean vessel
of clay, neither will I place My mark upon it. I detest the
wicked balances, and those who gain treasure through deceit.
Only the righteous bear my seal; I write upon the tables of
their hearts. Living epistles have a mind set on heavenly
things; they are read by men, but sealed by God unto the day
of their redemption; Eph. 4:30. I write my name in the
foreheads of My beloved; their minds are renewed and their
thoughts are continually toward Me. Upon them it is written
“Holiness Unto The Lord”. I place a mark upon those who sigh
and cry over the abominations in the land; Ezek. 9:4. But the
unfaithful ones, who love this present age, will not be a
recipient of My blessings, for I have said of them, they have
the forehead of a whore; Jeremiah 3:3. Foremost in their
minds, is the pursuit of their idolatry. Prominent in their
thinking is the gratification of self, and the building of
their own kingdom. I will not tolerate the spiritual
adulterers, or those who seek to cover their sin.
In the midst of tribulation, the obedient and the undefiled
are preserved. Even as I open the seals of a scroll,
calamities and destruction cannot touch them. Only with their
eyes shall they behold and see the reward of the wicked; Ps.
91:8. Did I not instruct Noah in advance of that which was
coming upon his world? Did I not preserve him and his family
when I shut the door and sealed them in from the flood? I warn
you in advance of that which is coming; I will not hide from
My beloved that which I am about to do. Even now, I send
warnings and announcements through messengers, as I have
always done. I told Daniel to “go thy way, for the words are
closed up and sealed until the time of the end”; Daniel 12:9.
I tell you, the time of the end of this age is near; the book
is being opened. Days of revelation are here; days of
upheaval, days of deception; yes, dangerous days are
approaching. But My beloved’s focus is fixed, not upon the
darkness, but upon preparing herself for My appearing. Even as
Rebekah looked for Isaac, who walked out to meet her, so does
My beloved look for Me. For the field in which Isaac meditates
and walks is not the Mesopotamian desert of earth. It is the
land of green pastures and the still waters of the Father.
When Rebekah sees Isaac, she dismounts from off the camel, and
covers herself with a veil; Gen. 24:64-65. The beloved is
kept, hidden within the veil.
That which is written in the king’s name and sealed with the
king’s ring, may no man reverse; Esther 8:8,10. Was there not
a conspiracy planned against Esther and her people through the
wicked Haman? Did I not preserve them from destruction as they
came together as one, and sought Me with prayer and fasting? I
tell you, those who plot against the Lord’s beloved shall be
brought to ruin! The wicked plotted against the Son and
crucified Him; He was laid in a tomb, and men sealed that tomb
with a great stone. I tell you, the seal of man, and the mark
of a man cannot prevail against the Lord’s beloved! The
strength of man, and his mark, will endure for only a season.
But the mark of My covenant made in blood shall endure
forever! The cross is My mark and the Holy Spirit is My seal.
The blood upon the doorpost of your heart speaks
“deliverance”, and the destroyer cannot enter. When the people
of the land reap what they have sown, when the days of
judgment of the sword, famine, noisome beasts and pestilence
arrive, His beloved shall be protected; Ezekiel 14:21. Did not
Absalom, through the counsel of Ahithophel, plot against
David, My beloved? Was there not a conspiracy, a wicked plan
devised in the nation against him? And Saul, who entered into
witchcraft when the Lord departed from him, also sought to
kill him. Even now, powers of darkness and the influence of
the occult are arrayed against My beloved. But the man after
My own heart was warned in advance of his enemies’ plans,
through Jonathan and the messenger Hushai. David was
preserved; I protected him from the hypocrite and he fulfilled
his destiny as a king. I have sealed My beloved! A people of
integrity obtain the promises; true worshippers receive
their inheritance. Indeed, I shall keep them, and advise them
as they wait upon Me, and seek Me during the long watches of
the night.
Did I not warn My people through Elisha of that which
the king of Assyria was plotting against the nation of Israel?
My messengers do not have itching ears, but ears which are
circumcised; they speak of that which is being planned, even
that which is spoken in the bedchamber of the enemy. Will I
not also uncover for you the plans of the wicked, and keep you
on the path which leads to life? Will I not also provide for
you a strategy and make for you a way of escape? When Elisha’s
servant was overwhelmed by the presence of the enemy’s horses
and chariots, did I not open his eyes to behold My great host
of horses and chariots of fire upon the mountain, surrounding
him? 2 Kings 6::8-18. I tell you, I shall open the eyes
of the pure and the humble, but I shall smite with blindness
the eyes of the prideful and the wicked. For I have said in My
book “blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”;
Matt. 5:8. Can you see that the prayer of a faithful servant
opened the eyes of another? And that a mantle, or the coat of
a favored son, is as a mark of authority, reflecting a
supernatural assignment? In the face of persecution, was not
Joseph preserved for a high purpose? Cannot the pit or the
prison be the preparation used to launch a servant into their
destiny? My beloved is tested, tried in the crucible of
affliction. At the appointed time they are released from their
confinement, clothed with royal apparel, and placed in the
Kingdom to rule; Gen. 41:38-43.
The cries of My beloved have moved Me, and I am stirred to
reach them. And so I intercede for them continually. For upon
My own heart, I carry them as a testimony of My love, deep
within My own bosom. And there they are sealed and kept unto
My coming. And even as the high priest bore the names of the
tribes of Israel on a breastplate over the heart and upon the
shoulders, so do I carry My beloved; Exod. 28:21. I say to
you, I shall set you as a seal upon My heart, as a seal upon
My arm; Song of Sol. 8:6. I shall sustain you with My strength
and protection; I shall provide for you, and hide you in the
secret place. For I have said of My beloved, that she is as a
garden enclosed, a private pleasure ground set aside for Me.
Will I not watch over that which I have carefully plowed,
planted and tended through the seasons? Shall I not sustain
that which I have fiercely defended? Will I not bring to
perfection every fruit, every spice and every precious thing?
Can it be said of you, as it is said of My Bride “She is a
spring shut up, a fountain sealed”? Song of Sol. 4:12.
