Transition Time

This is an exerpt from the Cooke Book..The Divine Confrontation:

A prophet looks for the treasure in earthen vessels and brings it to the surface. We are on a treasure hunt, seeing people with the eyes of the Lord Jesus, the kindest person I have known. God always speaks to our potential. Gideon was alone, frightened, angry and disillusioned. ..he was hiding away. The Lord spoke warmly to him. God spoke to what was noble in Gideon and it rose up within him. Whatever we speak to in people rises up! If we speak to their flesh and find fault, the flesh will rise up and there will be angry frustration. If, however, we speak to their spirit to their potential, then the treasure of Christ that is within them will surface. We will find that as the treasure rises, people automatically deal with any issues in their life that prevent it from being revealed. In this way, prophecy is an inspiration to enable people to change and an encouragement to see themselves as God sees them. It releases the wonderful presence of the Comforter to enable them to deal with any rubbish in their lives. We simply have to love God and all his ways. The kindness, the grace, and the thoughtfulness of the Lord are outstanding!

However, when people do not know how the Lord thinks or works, they tend to think the worst. So people have blanked me out in various ways in order to not be exposed. They do not understand that God is more interested in exposing their potential than He is in the stuff it is buried in!

Our frustration has to be cracked open. Signs of pain are usually signs of resistance as well. It shows us where we need to be healed. In the natural, a cut or a bump denotes the area needing medical care. So in the spirit, our pain is a pointer to our healing. Frustration also shows us where the point of breakthrough is going to come in our shell. Frustration is the key to our ongoing resistance. It tells us where the hammer of the Lord will apply itself to the hard shell around us. Your frustrations and pain are clues to your transition. The process will involve God breaking into those areas to bring healing, release, and empowerment. He loves you too much to let you stay in that place!
