Beloved Friends,
The Godhead (God the Father, God the Son—Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost) brings a word of revelation, warning, victory, and divine encouragement with absolute directive dealing with choice, faith, fortitude, and life for the Global Church Body of Jesus Christ, every “True Believer,” and all people across the world ready for the manifested salvation and glory of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven—the Son, Jesus Christ, unveils a rhema word in the depth of transition coming from dimensions of proximity of shadows in transformation of death or life. Leaving these questions to reflect on, “What is causing you from proximity, position, and purpose, God has called forth in you?” The answer within the context, simply deals with a response to the question with individual accountability. How am I, “out of proximity,” “out of position,” and “out of purpose?” Often, circumstances, people, and life progression will affect and change all three. The greatest challenge humankind will/has faced is infinite of “in obedience” through life processes, knowing right transition, within the space—time allotted here on earth by God.
Did you know, we can reject the Truth because of unbelief, blindness, shame, or embarrassment of what has been revealed by the Kingdom of Heaven? However, it does not stop the Truth.
Now let us examine, God’s prophetic word dealing with “Out of the Shadows,” a life-changing encounter aligned by the Word of God to realign order according to His will. The scripture contexts reference manifestation of events leading to a choice, faith, fortitude, and life. The questions presented to all of “US” from Jesus Christ, searching from Heaven, “What are you really hiding from and behind? What counsel are you receiving? What is causing the lack of the traverse of God’s righteousness to simply transform?” The prayer of Job in his plight of circumstances, grief, sickness, and life, brings perspective, “My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, and all my members are like shadows” (Job 17:7). But in Job’s spirit, he also proclaims outwardly, through of all this, “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth” (Job 19:25).
The scenes have been set with three different views and turn of events with revelation of the depth of life, death, and God’s power. The scenes are: The Shadow of Healing, The Unexpected—Unlikely Revealed Out of the Shadow—Messenger of God, and The Shadow of Deep Darkness to Light. Remember, God through Jesus Christ always sends His Word, Spirit, question, call out, and choice for humankind to make. How we respond represents the right or wrong transformation with manifestation of His power. Although, it may seem as if Heaven is shut up, at the time of transition and transformation, God always shows up in His miraculous power through right choice, in obedience, and faith. Let’s stop a moment to digest.
Let us take a journey in four-word definitions mentioned in the opening and introduction context to give clarity:
Let us take a journey in the scripture context with a revelation for us all to help in times of deep darkness in this world to transform the light and life:
There are three observations presented as a storyline from the scenes in the scripture context relating to “Out of the Shadows” with the commonality of “in obedience” which God evaluates to release His power at the “set time.”
The Shadow of Healing – King Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he begins to reign king of Judah and reigned 29 years in Jerusalem. He did what was right in the sight of the LORD. He removed all the idols and high places and removed the Baal altars. King Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, 2 Kings 18:5, “He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.” The King held fast to the Lord and did his commandments, the Lord was with Hezekiah, and he prospered. King Hezekiah was a man of prayer, watchman, war, and accustomed to going into the house of the Lord to seek the Lord. He would lay his prayer petitions before the Lord at the altar. In the 14th year of His reign the King of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them and assessed King Hezekiah heavily of gold and silver. Nevertheless, King Hezekiah continues to pray to God for deliverance and sends for the prophet Isaiah in Chapter 19, Isaiah assures King Hezekiah of victory, the Lord sent an angel of war and death, killed 185,000 of the Assyrian army and the Assyrian King was murdered by his sons. Later, King Hezekiah, who is approximately 39 years old now, falls sick unto death. He received word from the Lord by the Prophet Isaiah to set his house in order, “for you shall die, and not live.” King Hezekiah, made a choice to pray to the Lord, with "Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before you in truth, and with a loyal heart, and done was good in your sight.” He wept bitterly. What is the significance of the context of scriptures in response to death and life?
The Unexpected/Unlikely Revealed Out of the Shadow, God’s Messenger – God raises up a deliverer named Ehud out of the Tribe of Benjamin to Judge Israel. The Tribe of Benjamin was the less of the 12 Tribes of Israel chosen by God. A tribe of suffering, war, lack, and oppression. A tribe without many remaining men of valor. God calls out of the shadow of suffering, Ehud, a left-handed Benjaminite to judge Israel, one with deformity in the right-hand, when men of the Tribe of Benjamin symbolic were skilled with the right-hand of deliverance. Ehud was gifted in equal handiness with left-hand and right-hand use. What the right hand could not do, the left hand did greater. Ehud coming out of the Tribe of Benjamin was the less of choices in man’s natural eyes, however, God reconciled Himself to Benjamin, to manifest His own power in ordaining strength out of weakness, and that He might bestow more abundant honor upon that part which lacked. God reveals His power to the enemy, the Children of Israel, and Ehud himself to deliver a message to the oppressor of Israel regions. Deliverance will only come through acknowledging the call, obedience, and faith to do the impossible because God is with Us. What is the significance of this context of scripture?
The Shadow of Deep Darkness to Light – God raises up and restores Job out of his Shadow of Deep Darkness to the Light of God’s divine restoral power. Job begins with the undeserved suffering of the patriarch Job and reflects on the meaning of suffering and God’s relationship to one who suffers unjustly. Job 1:1 explains to the readers, Job was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. Job was a man of great wealth, had 10 children, greatest of all the men of the east, and instructed his family in the way of the Lord before his time of great testing and tribulation. The context in Job chapter one, the readers will also find in verse six, Satan presented himself before God seeking the whole earth, in whom he could test to turn their back on God and curse God. God bragged on Job 1:8, Then the Lord said unto Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God, and shuns evil?” God allowed the dimensions of suffering to Job to start all at the same time. Back-to-back. We find out in Job 1:20-22, Job worshipped the Lord after overwhelming news came to him. But, in all this he did not sin or charge God. This is Satan’s plan for many of the saints, to curse God, turn our backs on God and die in sin. Job’s wife after he was stricken with bolds all over his body, told him to curse God and die, messenger of Satan. But he did not. Is it ridiculous critics and accusers you think not come “Out of the Shadows” when you are going through intense, complexity, and dimensions of testing for purpose in the Kingdom of Heaven? We come to the discourse of Job (12:22-25) concerning the wisdom, power, and sovereignty of God, when his friends began to blame Job for the suffering, sin, and displeasing God. What is the significance of the context of scriptures?
Concluding, the extreme diversity of the three biblical “Out of the Shadows” unveils the depth of transition coming from dimensions of proximity of shadows in transformation of death or life. It is a choice to overcome or succumb in testing, suffering, sickness, and relationship with the Godhead. It is a choice to believe the word the Lord sends to you in faith no matter what the situation has unfolded. If you can hear the Lord calling you “Out of the Shadow,” the Word of God will confirm it. Pray, pray, and pray. Never lose hope, trust, and have faith in the Lord. If God says it, hold fast to the Word of the Lord, just like Ehud, the called “Out of the Shadow” “I have a message from God for you” deliverer—Executor of Justice. Or as Job, “Though you slay me, yet will I trust.” Or as King Hezekiah, cry, cry, cry, weep, weep, weep, and plead, plead, plead, “Remember now, I pray, O Lord,” until you have transformed yourself in transition at the set time of “Out of the Shadow” manifestation of God’s power from the Kingdom of Heaven.
Let “US” keep this perspective of Jesus Christ words of life and death, “For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.” (John 5:20-21). Jesus Christ greatest gift to mankind represented His death on the cross, to bring salvation to a dying world. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6). Coming to salvation requires a repenting heart and coming “Out of the Shadow” of sin to transition into the light of life through Jesus Christ.
