VISION: OBSCURITY

VISION: OBSCURITY
19th th June 2007

Around the first week of June, I saw this vision.

I saw some people who I understood within the vision, as being used mightily by God to speak on repentance and reformation, now at the computer, printing out papers that looked like legal applications to copyright and patent the ‘Move of God’, ‘revival’, ‘holiness’ that the world might know that they were the ‘founder members’. They were engaged in the process of copyrighting biblical words and their exclusive translations and interpretations of these words. They were considering many ways to get noticed, and remain in the public eye.

To these the Lord Had Said, “do My work, and loiter not, for you will ‘go into obscurity’ in the eyes of the world, but I will continue to use you.”

Many such had forgotten the instructions with which the Lord first sent them out.

To the second group, who I saw go about God’s work, comprised of some reformationists, to whom the Lord had Said, “obey, settle down in the work that I Give you, grow, multiply, be fruitful”. Such as these, without self-promotion, would be remembered anyway, in Christian history as being servants of God who brought His undiluted Word, at such a time as this. Upon such the blessings of God rested and would further multiply. These did not let go from their sight: I must decrease He must Increase.

The Lord was with such as these.

But the first group who was to ‘go into ‘obscurity’ was refusing to budge. By works, they wanted to settle, multiply, and make ‘their presence felt’, in their sphere.
These had forgotten the meaning of “I must decrease He must Increase”
They so liked it where they were. That their contribution would be forgotten by Christian history, was giving them nightmares. They wanted to do all that they could, to be remembered by people.
The Presence of the Lord was fading away from such as these but they knew it not.

Many of those who were to go into ‘obscurity’, were not listening, when God was Sending them messages, that He wanted to take them out of the public eye, and into prosperity. They had so despised the ‘prosperity gospel’ that they had thrown the baby out with the bathwater. They now shuddered at the word, ‘prosperity’. They did not understand that this future work of ‘prospering’ was also God’s work.
Hating ‘prosperity’ to them had become a symbol of ‘holiness’. They had rightly despised the ‘prosperity gospel’, but this prosperity they were now despising and doubting was of God and not Satan.

The Lord in this time is Sending many ahead to ‘prosper in obscurity’, so that at a set time, they will have amassed resources / gained positions of authority/influence, etc to be used for His Church.

These could not see the purpose of prosperity, their ‘super spirituality’ was blinding them, and obscurity was frightening them!

If these heeded not, they would in ways unpleasant to them, not only be faded out, into obscurity just as the Lord Planned, but if they continued in wilful disobedience and repented not, will also miss being part of the glorious work of God, in these coming times.

The third group was called to go into ‘obscurity’ only, out of the public gaze, and stay there by the Will of God. The Lord would continue to use them, out of the public gaze. These would not be used to build assets/financial resources etc, as the first group, but would simply return to the obscurity they came from, and continue bearing fruit in the life of obedience to God, away from the gaze of the public eye.

Some among the first and third group were loathe to move……….obscurity had become a scary word, a frightening thought, to them.

Repent those, who are setting up camp, when you ought to be moving on. It is time to re-visit your original instructions that you received from God, and OBEY.

CAUTION: This word is only for those to whom God had already Spoken of obscurity. This vision is essentially to warn such as those.
