"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.
