The cloud has moved. I have to follow behind. I am. I have become unfaithful in this mountain, because I have dwelt long enough. Days go by with my thought in the next mountain.
The tide has moved. It has rushed. Haste is paramount to riding the wave, lest I be overwhelmed by the waters of this rushing river of life.
Three months have I been as an unfaithful citizen of heaven, yet my heart is with the most High. For it His will do I desire to fulfil. I do not know what else to do except move with the cloud that is going the direction of that mountain, that I met Him four years ago. In a season of doubt, despair, voices, and truth; I saw the Lord. I met Him, and spoke to Him. I was charged with a concession that will transform generations to come.
Since then I have been unfaithful to my one true calling – that mountain. Yet will I dwell thence for a season, until the cloud moves to another place, known by Him. There is no other duty of man than to follow the cloud of the Presence of God, in his life, for the benefit of his heritage. My heritage is dependent on my obedience to the move of the cloud. If the cloud moves, so should I. if it retains, hence retain I.
“And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.” Gen 9:16
In remembrance of God’s covenant with me four years ago, I saw in the midst of the clouds, a bow. Yes, I saw two. Even then did I hear a reminder, “Remember My call, it is time”, said the Spirit of the Lord to me. Destiny awaits me. The mountain awaits me. I have gone through many valleys, and even the desert, yet know the distinction of the season. I have seen the “bow” I reminder of the faithfulness of God, even my unfaithfulness, which may cause me to pay dearly. The season has changed, even as the Lord promised Noah – the Bow has appeared, to remind me of the covenant He made with me.
“And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:” Exo 13:21
I have seen the moving of the cloud. “There goes the cloud”, my heart cries out. A year ago, I knew not where I should go when the shaking of the house came. I was torn between three places, yet chose to sit and wait to hear the word of the Lord. A few weeks into this year, 2007, I knew then where the Lord was asking me to go. The mount of the Lord, the place of my tent; there He will meet me.
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isa 43:19
Go, move, walk, are words that mean change. This, the Lord would like me to do. A way in the wilderness, will He make. Alas, He has done so. A way in the wilderness has He made.
Many a duty I am called to do: Gatekeeper, Possessor of Strongholds, Publisher, Builder of Foundations, Watchman, Warrior, and Father. I am the Restorer of the Paths to Dwell in, the Repairer of the Breach, and the Builder of Foundations of many Generations.
I have become unfaithful. Denying my call is denying my Father. When in not in the place of calling, you are living in sin. When you do not do what you are supposed to do, that is sin. I have been living in sin, and need to change. I have become comfortable.
I am given to learning. I am given to knowledge. Not for myself, but for those that will come.
The word “go” is mentioned more than the words “faith” and “believe”, meaning that action is more important than choice and thought. After all faith is a message that “moves” from your mind to the heart, then to the body, causing the mouth to confess “belief”, eventually the body to move.
Therefore, ‘Lead me Lord, for those who are led by the Spirit of God, are the sons of God.’ My heart cries out to You. Have mercy on me. Lead me in the way everlasting, that I may walk with You, that I may move with the cloud, not with the crowd.
