Precious Time

(A word to Henry Wiebe from a Prophet)

4-97

 

I am not late, as you would judge. 

For your eyes cannot see things as far as I can see.

With your limited vision you are shortsighted.

 

I have called you to be faithful in all the things I have called you to do.  Have I not presented myself to you in much love as you have sat and worshipped me and have I not responded to your worship by my love and overwhelming you with my peace and joy?  Have we not come into union together?  The gold and silver on a thousand hills cannot satisfy you as those very special times we have when we come together in worship.  I know your needs and desires but my desires for you are much fuller in scope than even what you think they are.

 

You have been faithful in many little things for my eyes have looked down upon you, my son, for you have taken a commodity few understand, and gotten much mileage out of it.  I have given you something more precious than gold or silver and you have been very faithful with it.

 

If only the body of Christ would have been faithful with this commodity I would have a people that would love me.  I would have a people that could effect the change, and they would be a people that would know me, but don’t know me now.

 

You wonder what this commodity is I speak of.  The one commodity of most value I have given to each individual on earth is your time;  Your time in the middle of the night;  Your times between different obligations you have in the world;  The times of the day and of the night that you sat before me wanting to know the things of my heart.  Little by little, I have imparted into you the secret things;  things that are purer than gold.  For you have separated yourself unto myself and because I have filled you, the vessel, with me, others see me when they see you even though they don’t know me.  But more than that, my son, because you have chosen to take this commodity of time, that valuable thing that every man has so much of, and you have been accountable to me, you shall teach man what he has been given about the things of time.  For I have called you to bring forth the essence of purity, with singleness of heart and mind.  Many that I have called have a message but not from me;  Sandwiched in, buttered over with jelly and sugar, til people don’t recognize me and what I stand for any more.  But while others claim to know me, while others try to explain me, they have perverted who I am, my son, I have been made over by man into their image. 

No wonder my people don’t recognize me anymore.

 

But because you have chosen the precious commodity of time that has been so overlooked by mankind, I have chosen to give you the wisdom to present me as I truly am.  For I have looked down and I have seen you, my son, spending time at my feet, at my side, spending time at the stone, at the well, at the bosom of my heart.  But most of all spending time with your ear at my mouth to hear my will and my word.

 

Have I not told you the simple truth to give thanks in everything whether good or bad?  In this simple truth is much power and much greater love.  This simple truth comes from me, your God, and you have used it wisely and well.  Why is it that Christians cannot relate to this simple truth?

 

Because they don’t spend time before me, and when they do, there are miles of tradition and things of the world between us so they can’t hear a word.

 

Continue to keep yourself pure, grow not weary in well doing for I have been doing a work in you over these many years. How can I bring purity of my word to the people if there is not a vessel that chooses to be pure?  The choice that you have made in understanding the value of the commodity of time has and will serve you well.  But more than this, my son, you can now be used, you can now take the many things I have put within you, things that you are not fully aware of but they are there. They are established by me that when I need to call them out, my Holy Spirit will act upon you and they will be released even to your own surprise, to bring about these truths so that mankind might know their God, and who he is, what he is, what he expects, and what he really desires for his people.  For how can they truly worship me when they truly do not really know me because they have squandered their precious commodity of time with me?

 

My son, your storehouse is truly full.  All the riches of this earth would pall and be of no value if you understood the riches you have stored with me in my storehouse.

 

My son, you have not failed in your servanthood or service of me.  Look at the mighty prophets, the mighty men of the Bible.  Their life was not one continuous string of miracles of service unto me for I judge the heart that is found faithful.  With all your circumstances, these things need to be this way for a time.  This doesn’t mean I have failed you but you will understand these things in the end.  These circumstances will not stop me, your God, from using you the way I want to.  Continue with me and you will hear me say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”  Nothing more here to do.  All the pieces are coming together to make a picture as I break the façade, brick by brick.  The facades of deception and darkness are being washed away as I speak truth.
