The Removal of the Net of Confusion and the Ordering of Your Steps

 

Psalms 42:6-11

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 8 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

 

Psalms 37:18-24

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

I heard these words in my hearing,

A net of confusion had been thrown over you. I have removed it. The enemy came against you to confound you. I have said, "He who believes on me shall not be confounded."

I have spoken. My word has gone out of my mouth and will not return to me empty or void. The path that I have laid before your feet is an ordered path. Be not confused by the things that come against you from the author of this unfairness. It is working for you, not against you. Your enemies will strangle themselves by their unfair dealings toward you. I am a just God, and I am not a respecter of persons. I am the judge of the entire earth, and I will do right.

Continue to pray for those who despitefully use you and continually purify your heart by faith, which is in me. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see me. This is no time to allow resentment or bitterness to be planted in your heart; therefore, pray fervently for those who do you wrong, and you will guard your heart from the roots of bitterness. The roots of bitterness are being peddled by offenses designed by the enemy. Offenses have come, and they will continue to come, but woe unto them by whom the offenses come. I am your judge, and the judge of all men; therefore, allow me to vindicate you and take vengeance of your foes then will you remain a free man.

I have ordered your steps. I have spoken by you and placed my word in your tongue. I authorized you to speak in my name. Now draw not back from speaking, for I am in you speaking by the spirit of prophecy. Do not fear those who rule over men and are not just, for they do not rule in the fear of God. They are manipulators and shall suffer by the hands of their own schemes. The judgments designed by man shall be the judgments that I shall judge them by.

A noose has been planned for you. I shall use their noose to hang your accusers. I have made an everlasting covenant with you ordered in all things and sure. I am your protection, and the hands of man or his schemes will not take you, but the man that shall touch you shall be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear. He shall be utterly burned with the fire of trial that I shall send in the same place.

Rise up with praises in your heart and worship with all that is in you. I have placed a sharp two-edged sword in your mouth. Swing it by opening your mouth wide to praise me at all times. It shall cleave to you, even when you grow weary, for I have made your tongue and my word one. I will fashion a great victory for you, and you shall eat the spoil with gladness.

Pour out sacrifices of praise unto me. Break through the gates of hindrance with true worship and true praise, and then shall you find the well of living water that is inside of you. You have settled for the waters from a shallow stream. Now is the time to drink from the waters of life that are deep within me. The deep calleth unto the deep at the noise of my waterspouts; therefore, even though your soul is cast down, and my waves and billows are gone over you, I have commanded my loving kindness in the daytime. In the night, my songs shall be with you.

Your prayers came unto me this morning. I am the God of your life. This experience that you have with me is real. It is not a farce. You asked for bread, and I have not given you a stone. You asked for fish, and I have not given you a serpent. You asked for eggs, and I have not given you a scorpion. If you being evil know how to give your children good things when they ask of you, how much more will I allow you to hear my voice and not be deceived?

It is I, the Lord Jesus, who is speaking to you. My sheep hear my voice. They know it and will not follow the voice of another. How can two walk together, unless they both are agreed?

Then why do you attempt to walk with those that you do not agree with? What do you expect out of such a relationship?

You are being oppressed because you are attempting to walk with those who you do not agree with. Separate yourself from them, for they shall only oppress you more if you continue to walk with them. As with a sword in your bones, they reproach you while they say, "Where is his God?"

Your soul is cast down and is disquieted within. I say, "Hope in me and praise me," for I am the health of your countenance and your God. I have not hidden my face from you in this time of trouble. I have not held you for your enemy to devour you. You are driven to and fro by the winds of adversity, but I will not break a leaf driven by the wind. I will not pursue the dry stubble. I have not written bitter things against you, neither have I remembered your past sins. I have not placed your feet in the stocks and made your path a trap. I have stamped your feet for my own glory and removed the rotten things from your possession. I have removed the moth eaten garments from you and adorned you with a garment of praise. Rise up, my son, and worship with all that is in you. Your freedom and true deliverance has come.

You came to reason with me this morning. Now sit down, and let us reason together. Am I a forger of lies?

Have I opened my mouth and promised you something and then retracted it?

A physician has no value if he is a forger of lies. Hear my reasoning now. Will a man speak wickedly for me?

Will a man talk deceitfully for me?

Will I accept any man's person?

Will a man contend for me?

I have searched out all. Others have mocked you, but I say, "Will they mock me?"

I will surely reprove you if you do secretly accept persons.

Go from a man's presence that is not afraid of my excellency. My dread is falling upon men in this closing hour of my church in the earth. Mind how you deal with others, for your remembrances are like unto ashes, and your bodies to bodies of clay. Do not deal with men in anger; neither place your life in your own hands.

Trust in me with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. If I slay you, trust me. I am your salvation, and a hypocrite shall not come before me. Behold, my son, I have ordered your cause and justified you. I know your days, and your inheritance shall be forever. For a short space, your enemies are prospering, but they shall be ashamed in the evil time. The wicked shall perish, and your enemies shall be as the fat of lambs. They shall be consumed. Into smoke, they shall consume away.

I have delighted myself in your way, for I have ordered your steps, and you have followed. Though you have fallen at times, you have never been utterly cast down, for I have upheld you with my hand. You are growing old, yet you will not be forsaken or beg for bread. I am merciful. I love judgment and will not forsake my saints. You are preserved forever, but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. You shall inherit the land, and none of your steps shall slide. Though the wicked watch you and seek to slay you, I will not leave you in his hand. I will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. First, must the wicked come to great power and spread himself like a green bay tree. Then shall he be brought down and cut off, but the salvation of the righteous is of me. I am their strength in the time of trouble. I will help them and deliver them. I will deliver them from the wicked, and save them because they trust in me.
