“MANY
OF MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN A LOVE
TEST
...AND THE GRADES ARE IN”
A Prophetic Word by Al Thomas
God
Says: “MANY
OF MY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TESTED…
They have been at
the point where they’ve confessed the
scriptures, rebuked the devil, pleaded the blood and have had
brethren agree with them in prayer….but still NOTHING HAS
HAPPENED. Child of mine, you’ve not been in a faith test,
but a LOVE TEST (Psalm 11: 4 -5; 1 Thessalonians 2:4 NKJ). My
love test is when I allow circumstances to come into your life
to determine “Do you really love me?” (Genesis 22:
1-2, 9-12). I wanted to see if you were a fair-weather Christian.
That’s a child of Mine who only get excited and loves Me
when all is fair or better. I was saying to you: “I know
you love me when I bless you and supply all your needs. But will
you still love Me, even if it looks like I am halting the blessings
in your life and allowing some troubles to touch you?” The
big question in the face of adversity is, will you love Me or
will you be offended by Me? Many of you have stayed true, your
love was proved and now you will be strengthened...making you
fit for the Master’s use (2 Tim. 2:19-26). This is the
first and greatest commandment: “Thou shall love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, mind, soul and strength…” Remember
this: My tests are highly refined instruments like a doctor would
use surgical tools…but my operations are always successful
(Philippians 1:6). The angel is blowing the trumpet so get ready
to slide off the table. The test and procedure is about over,
and it’s time to get up. Adjust your armor on (Ephesians
6:13-17), I am thrusting you back into the battle.”
God
Says: “MANY
HAVE PASSED THE TEST...
It has been difficult
for many because some did not bear witness to the message or
the vision I gave you. Some were never meant
to. That doesn’t mean you are better than them (Philippians
2:3), but you cannot plant a vineyard on another’s land
(Romans 15:20). You have learned not to force your liberty on
those not meant to receive it. I am pleased you counted My Word
precious to you, but even more so that you have learned not to
demand that it be precious to others. Do not be anxious (Philippians
4:6); I’m melting other hearts to catch the vision. Because
you have been patient and faithful I will open new doors for
you, but be careful not to burn bridges because you will need
them later. Criticize no one; love even the most difficult brethren
and continue to be patient with all who do not agree with you.
Let people remember you not for your giftings but for your love
(Romans 13:8). Anyone can pass judgment and be critical, but
my seasoned saints navigate though troubled waters with love
as a rudder (John 13: 34-35; 15:17). Child, I remember your work
of faith and your labor of love (1 Thessalonians 1:3), you’ve
been troubled and weary, but you’ve kept the faith and
completed the test. Honor is at the door.”
God
Says: “MANY
MUST NOW PREPARE FOR PROMOTION…
Now is the accepted
time to step up and out because I’m
calling you out of the classroom to the throne room. I’m
about to give many a new passion for an old vision (Habakkuk
2:3). As I rekindle the vision, you will discover old wounds
that used to fester inside of you (Joel 2:23-26) will no longer
be felt. I am depositing an amazing resiliency inside of you
so instead of retreating when you are knocked back two steps,
you’ll immediately get up and take three steps. You will
bounce back from hurtful experiences and painful words that you
experienced in the past. Others have had mates who seemed opposed
or were slow to come on board concerning your vision, but I will
soften hearts in this new season and fresh unity and support
is about to come. Some who have had promises (tucked in their
hearts) of ministries and callings will begin to see manifestations
of them being fulfilled (1 Thessalonians 5:24). Now is the time
to stir up the gift within you (2 Timothy. 1:6). Some, early
in their walk with Me, tasted My power but shrunk back because
of mistakes or timidity. That time is over. Many are waiting
to be delivered, taught and sent out (Matthew 28: 19-20). Listen
to My voice (Psalm 95:7); I’m calling those who have been
waiting for a confirmation to step up to the plate and step out
of self imposed limitations. Your test results are in, like Joseph
you’ve waited patiently on My Word and passed the test
(Psalm 105:19). Yes, there is more to learn, but I’ve completed
a great inner work for such a time a time as this (Ephesians
3:16) and I’m handing you your diploma. Take it and rise
up.”
