BITTER WORDS
Many who were trained behind the scenes to witness the humanity of failing leaders, were sent as intercessors to keep watch. Some were sent to share the Words of wisdom so that the failure to measure up would become openly manifested and change would thus occur. This brought some degree of repentance and change. Other messengers faced the fortified walls of stubborn wills, mind-sets and foreheads set like flint. Thus, I sent them to speak My Word in prayer that the strongholds would fall.
Of those intercessors who received My wisdom to accurately discern My Word, some failed to understand that this truth would not be received, if they shared it with those who lack a humble and teachable spirit. Thus, in sharing, they became bitter victims of the Word of truth they gave. They were left with frustration, anger and bitterness over the truths they saw in misaligned leadership.
Dear ones, it is time to allow Me to uproot the buried anger and bitterness of what you have accurately discerned. I long to confirm that you indeed have heard My voice and have been honed to know My truth. However, I am not able to send you again until you get the wounds healed from the bitter taste of your past. If I send you now, others will hear only your anger and not My truth. Release to Me the frustration you feel over what you see going on within the walls of the church, and release to Me your pain over facing the stubbornness of mankind. Once you are set free, I will again send you, but this time as a vessel of honor with My favor of open doors. You shall release My truth in love.
1 Peter 1:22-23 NKJV
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.
Eph 4:15 NKJV
But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ —from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
