GET VERY LOW

From the site: http://www.eatel.net/~wsomers/ End Time Prophetic Vision and Insight into the Scriptures

The Lord has been calling me and our church to repentance and tenderness of heart. I asked the Lord, "What does all this falling down business mean?" I was reminded that the OT and NT words for worship have to do with posture, that real worship means bowing down before God, not just in our bodies, but in our hearts. I saw that returning to our first love means being like Mary, sitting at Jesus feet. Then, while seeking God with leaders who network together (the Reconciliation Team, led by Joseph Garlington), we were down on our faces when the Lord gave these three words:

1) Get down low at My feet. As you lay at My feet, I will cover you (as Boaz covered Ruth). If you stand upright too soon, your covering will slide off. If you stay down low at My feet long enough, I will stitch My covering to you and fit it around your shoulders. Then, when you stand upright on your feet, it will remain on you as a mantle, giving you authority and power to do My work.

2) Get very low. Bow down before Me. A sword of judgment is passing over the land. The leading edge of the sword is very sharp. It is the word of God that divides soul from spirit and discerns the thoughts and intentions of hearts. Every head that is not brought low will be cut off. Every headship ministry that does not humble itself will be destroyed. The trailing edge of the sword is dripping fresh oil. Everyone that is bowed before Me will be anointed with fresh oil. Get down low, for the sword of the Lord is coming.

3) Isaiah 66- "To this one will I look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word..."

Humiliation precedes exaltation. Obedience precedes the anointing. The glory that will follow is greater than our flesh can endure unless we humble ourselves before Him.
