Eye of the Needle

The Eye of the NeedleThe Lord said today I was going threw the eye of the needle, I asked what do you mean? He said not everyone can go threw the eye, and that today you will begin the process which can be painful, not everyone can go with you in this tight place of faith. (I hope this ministers to some of you in a special way)One brother in the Lord said today to me that it meant the eye of the storm and that is what the Lord was speaking to him and he is a very stable prophet. He than began to explain to me what this meant that the storms were raging around me, but I was in my cubical per say, my place of prayer and even thought storms were happening I was in the eye, the stillness of Him the place of prayer. The safe place aware of storms but not affected. He prayed for me I cried and was healed by the Holy Spirit's gentleness.I had this word this morning: I was driving and the Lord said your in the eye, I said Lord again what does that mean? My child it means a time of purging a time of letting go of the things holding me back from walking in faith time to move on and not get comfortable in the normal way things go. Yesterday, another man spoke into me life: You get on the elevator and its empty and you go a few floors and people get on and then they get off so in ministry some will get on the elevator with you and get off at a different floor and some may get back on with you on a different floor later. Which means to me transition change of relationships ,and its ok if some get off for awhile, When your going threw the eye they cant go on that elevator with you were you are going and some will get on and go with you good word, Psalms 75:8-7 It is He that lifts one up and sits one down.LIKE Peter step out of the boat and not focus on the wind and the storm but keep our EYE! On Him!A wealthy man had come to Yeshua seeking what he must do to "inherit eternal life". After hearing Yeshua's response, The man "was sad at that saying, and went away grieved". He was sad and he was grieved because Yeshua's response was not the answer he had hoped for. He didn't realize that greater wealth then he had ever dreamed of could be his if he accepted Yeshua's answer. This man was as the seed sown amongst thorns. He was acquainted with accumulating "great possessions" but he was not acquainted with laying up "treasure in heaven". He may have known "the commandments" but he didn't know the Word of GOD.Before Yeshua gave him his answer, the Scripture says that Yeshua "loved him". That is always why the word is sown. That is why the word is sent. But too often it is rejected. Yeshua wasn't desiring to deprive this rich man of his wealth. Yeshua was showing him the way into the kingdom of GOD. Yeshua was offering him treasures vastly superior to any that moth and rust could corrupt. Thus, three times, as if trying to drive the point home to His disciples, Yeshua said, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God...how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God...It is easier for a camel [rope] to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God". For Yeshua to declare this warning three times, speaks loudly to those who have ears to hear. The desire for riches is not to be underestimated in its ability to deceive and divert one from the narrow way that leads unto life.This is why the disciples "were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?" (Mark 10:26). They thought that if the rich found it difficult to enter the kingdom of GOD, what chance did the rest of them have? Much of Yeshua's teaching endeavored to correct the false assumption that wealth is always a blessing from GOD. The truth is more the other way. Usually the pursuit of wealth insulates us from the workings of GOD in our lives. It can choke the word sown in our hearts and rob us of eternal treasures our heavenly Father desires for us to obtain. Hence, it is difficult (not impossible) for a rich man to enter the kingdom of GOD. Many stumble at this and are sad and go away grieved, having found no answer that pleases them. A few however are willing to set aside secondary pursuits and seek with all their heart to know HIM who knew them "before the foundation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4).Mark 8:35, 36 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?There was in a Jerusalem city wall, a narrow gate known as the "eye of the needle". It was very difficult for a camel to pass through this gate. Either the camel would have to be unloaded or pass through on its knees.I leave you with this, Are you ready to go threw the eye and the needle and let everything go to pursue His Kingdom here on earth ready to give all to serve Him to feel the tightness of His purging you into a new direction, It is an uncomfortable place but we can do it ,Many are called but few are chosen few make it threw the eye it is a difficult place to stand with someone going threw the eye.The EYE OF GOD THE FATHER I AM GOING THREW THE EYE THE FATHER S EYE INTO THE DEEPEST PLACES I sayHere I am Lord send me . Uncomfortable or not step out of the boat give your all ,He paid the price that you might live for 'Him' on earth we are His vessels we must fix our eyes on Him and go threw the eye of the needle the deeper things of the Lord.So today I will begin to press in push on into the dept of the Holy one into the eye willing no matter the cost ,I surrender to Him His will is the best for me.Shalom Peace Upon you and Mat you be blessed to be called to go threw the needle the eye of the Lord.HannahAnd The NIV Bible
