SEPTEMBER 2014 - Birthing & being 'tempered'.

As I've been seeking God about the coming month this is what I was sensing from His heart.

September, the 9th month in our calendar, is the month where many will see the birthing of the 'new thing' that Father has promised and is releasing.  Isaiah 43:19
Feelings of being constipated with promises & prophetic words, which has resulted in a weariness,  will now flow, as the manifestation of those promises will be birthed.   The birthing comes, for some, starting as a trickle, for others, a full blown breaking of the waters!  He reminded me that NEW things cannot be done in OLD ways - we have to remain OPEN to Him, both personally & corporately as He wants to bring so much MORE than we have imagined or thought.

I kept getting the word 'tempered' as I was praying about September.  So I've been spending time for some clarification on that.  A couple of dictionary interpretations are: 'Tempered - being made hard by adding heat or some substance' -  'Made hard or resilient especially by heat treatment'.

Now we know that our hearts are softened, made pliable and tenderised by Him as He takes our stoney hearts and gives us a heart of flesh - Ezekiel 11:19.  Through revelation, healing and encountering God as our Father our wounded hearts become healed.
But I sensed that the Holy Spirit was saying that many of us have been through the fire,  and received, felt, experienced the Fire of God on us, and in us.  We have been 'tempered' NOT hardened, as we usually understand hardness, but, having our hearts, FIXED, SET, ANCHORED and ALIGNED with His heart.  Resulting in knowing, really knowing, who we are, that I am His and He is mine, that my beloved is for me, that we are His treasured possession, His sons & daughters.
Out of this 'tempering' comes such a depth of Intimacy and an increased longing just to be like Him, that without any effort, apart from our continued yielded ness, His Love Army arises and the World will be begin to see this beautiful Jesus, our Lover, our Saviour, our God <3
