It’s No Longer on Hold! (Part 3)

It’s No Longer on Hold! (Part 3)
21And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 22Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 23Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. 24For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. . (Ezekiel 12:21-25)
In this 12th chapter of Ezekiel, the prophet played the role of a captive being led away to exile, portraying what was about to happen to King Zedekiah and the people remaining in Jerusalem. He prepared for removal, breaking through the wall of his house in the evening like somebody trying to escape from their enemy. King Zedekiah and those remaining in Jerusalem knew exactly what Ezekiel was doing because only six years earlier they had made similar preparations as they left Jerusalem for Babylonia. In verse 17-20, the prophet had to eat and drink in care and fear, with trembling. This was done that he would be able to express the condition of those in Jerusalem during the siege.
In the 5th chapter of Jeremiah states: “For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. They have belied the LORD, and said it is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.” When ministers speak to those in sin of the ruin coming upon them, they must speak as those that know the terrors of the Lord. If you don’t believe what God has spoken to be true, how can you relate this to others? You have to become so sold out to God that the Word of the Lord coming out of your mouth burns like fire into the hearts of those who hear it.
In verses 27 the Lord spoke these words “Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.” When the Lord spoke to me in these scriptures, He begin to let me know that things he had spoken in my life were now coming to pass. I started watching him bring forth things that had been prophesied in my life years ago…suddenly these things coming to pass. We are in an hour that you can be in one place today, when suddenly you are in another place tomorrow! It is like the day of Pentecost…they were all in one place…on one accord, when suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind.(Acts 2:1-2). Where ever you are right now, hold to what God has spoken for your life because it’s no longer on hold, and your suddenly just might happen today!
