Be careful which side of the door you end up! - A prophetic word

Will Jesus ask you to leave the house?

Will He ask you to miss this revival?

Do you feel an urgent push to leave and go somewhere else?

Be careful which side of the door you end up. Don’t be the one being put out! Don’t be the one being cut off!

Don’t be too surprised when you see some people leave your life and ministry over the next few months. Also be prayerful about the ones that might already have left. It may not be what you think. God is getting ready to deliver what He has promised. There is about to be a major awakening revival come into your house! But you must also hear the Lord say: “GET OUT! The girl isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” [Matthew 9:24] and be sure He is not talking to you. Why? The scripture goes on to say: The crowd laughed at Him. But it was when the crowd had been put outside, then Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up! [Matthew 9:25]

WHO WAS IT THAT PUT THEM OUT? JESUS!!! It is not you or even the devil removing some people out of your life and ministry right now… it is JESUS!!! He is putting faith back in the house!!! He is getting His bride ready for a GREAT AWAKENING… Power, life, fruitfulness and joy is beginning to return to the bride!!!... can you not see it… or have you only seen a dead girl? Have you only seen the barrenness of the dead? Look up… she’s not dead; she was only sleeping!

The Greek language used by the bible writers imply that Jesus did it quickly, firmly and with force. Then He [JESUS] put (ekbalōn -banish, cast, eject and throw out) them ALL outside, except the father and the mother of the child, and those who WERE WITH HIM. [Mark 5:40] There are people Jesus must ask to leave your life and ministry, because they are not truly WITH HIM. They may be close to Him, in His vicinity or know of Him, but when He speaks, they don’t follow and obey. They scoff, laugh, complain, mock, criticize, doubt, cry and see everything negatively. The reality is:... For what God is getting ready to do in His church they will need to move for miracles to break forth.

This is a hard thing for many to accept… But before some MIRACLES can happen in your life… Jesus, Himself, will ask some people to leave your life, space and circle, because if they remain… you WILL NOT see your breakthrough and your revival. We must all realize that there are some dead things that will never come alive until Jesus directs a few people to leave the room and to step outside our life. In the Matthew, Mark and Luke tellings of this event we see Jesus Himself physically removed anyone who would be a hinderance to creating an atmosphere of faith, miracles and revival. Yes, He is the Jesus of life not death. Jesus reminded the Pharisees that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Interesting that the dead girl was in the room, but not those who was not WITH HIM.

I believe the big question for us with this word today is this:

• Which side of the door will you be on when Jesus comes into the room?

• Will Jesus need to ask you to leave the room and go elsewhere when He comes?

• If Jesus came to church on Sunday, would there be any reason for Him to ask you to wait outside for a while so He can release revival?

• Have you ever seriously asked yourself that question?

• Am I a hinderance to a move of God or does Jesus want me to stay?

• If Jesus were to do something that required faith, faithfulness and obedience… would He ask to step outside, or would I be allowed to stay in the room when revival and awakening comes?

This is what I heard the Lord say to me early this morning.

‘My church is entering a time where I will need to put some things outside the rooms I’m entering so GREAT and WONDERFUL things can happen. The urgency of this moment requires that I must move those old wineskins who can only laugh, scoff and doubt at what I have appointed and ordained for this fresh outpouring and revival. Many of the most inflexible to My new ways have already moved. This is okay. The harvest is waiting and is now overripe. We can't wait for them to soften anymore. My church is about to enter a fresh outpouring, but first I need to remove a few lids that won’t allow My Spirit to move without their advice, opinion, permission or preference. Religious spirits and controlling pride must go. Lukewarm worship must be expelled. Cynicism and skepticism have no place in people who truly know Me. There will be a cutting, a banishing, a casting out and an ejection, but don’t reject it… It is Me. I am doing something necessary for this new season to begin. You are the branches, and I am the Gardner. Do not fear… do not worry… I will not remove or cut off any branch that has life in it. I only cut off dead things. Living things are abiding and cannot be moved. Surrender and let My life flow through you. Then I may cut things off you, but I will never cut you off.”

My encouragement to you today is:

• Be on the right side of the door.

• Don’t be someone Jesus has to ask to leave or go somewhere else, so He can do a miracle there!

• And if God is moving or removing people from your life and ministry, as long as it is God doing the moving, be at peace that God will continue to call them back into their planting place until they choose to surrender, follow and obey Him in faith and trust.  

• When God does some cutting… make sure He is cutting off you and not needing to cut you off!

When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but He said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died. He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! [Luke 8:51-55]
