Are You Ready for the Tower of Babel to Fall?
Genesis 11:3-9 – “And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. So they had brick for stone, and slime (bitumen) for mortar. And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them. Come, let Us go down and there confound (mix up, confuse) their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of the whole earth, and they gave up building the city. Therefore the name of it was called Babel--because there the Lord confounded the language of all the earth; and from that place the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (AMP)
Today as I began to partake of my Thanksgiving meal, I heard the Holy Spirit speak, “Are you ready for the Tower of Babel to fall?” Now this certainly does not sound like a typical “Thanksgiving Message”. Yet, this is what the God Head is asking the Body of Christ in this hour. NOW is a time of PREPARATION for what is to come… when those things that CAN be shaken WILL be shaken. Those things in our individual lives and corporate ministries that have been built BY and FOR the FLESH shall FALL. The only thing that will remain are those things that are of the Spirit of God, which are Eternal in nature.
Mark 8:35 – “For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].” (AMP)
1 Corinthians 13:13 – “And so faith, hope, love abide [faith--conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (AMP)
A few days ago, I heard the Spirit speak, “The Economy of Heaven.” Before I even had the chance to enquire further, He revealed Faith, Hope, and Love to be the Economy of Heaven. Therefore, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING else CANNOT and WILL NOT withstand The Refiner’s Fire. Rather, it will be SHAKEN or BURNT and ultimately FALL.
1 Corinthians 11:31 – “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” (KJV)
Revelation 3:3 – “Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.” (KJV)
Psalm 51:17 – “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” (KJV)
1 John 1:9 – “If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].” (AMP)
Saints of God, now is the time to enter into a time of EARNEST and FERVENT REPENTANCE. For, if we judge ourselves, we shall not be judged. We must REPENT of every desire, will, thought, motive, word, action, and inaction that falls short of God’s Glory revealed in and through Faith, Hope, and Love… the Economy of Heaven. We must cleanse ourselves through Repentance and the washing of our hearts and minds with the Blood of Jesus Christ. For then and only then will be truly READY for the Tower of Babel to fall in our individual and corporate lives, as the Body of Christ, prepared for the Coming Bride Groom. In fact, our repentant hearts will not MOURN or GRIEVE, BUT REJOICE when the Tower of Babel falls! We will shout and rejoice, “Glory be to God, for great things He hath done!”
