There is a divine intention being released on some people in this hour. It is being released on male and female, young and old, from various nations. They know they have a God given mandate to do a particular assignment. These precious ones are from all around the world who know who they are in God. They know the stand they have to make to get the job done. They are unwavering in their vision and focus. They have a particular job to do here and now in this time in history. It is burning on the inside of them. They are ready right now.
However the problem they face is being misunderstood. There are certain God given traits that have the potential to offend those who do not understand their motivation. We need to understand one another more than ever and our unique individual anointing. This can only happen as the Holy Spirit reveals. There are some things that define this new breed of one’s called to do a specific job to advance God’s Kingdom right now.
Following are some areas that define them:
- They are hard-nosed – They see the job that needs doing and will not waver from what God has shown them to do.
- They can come across as emotionally hard – There is a God given emotional detachment because the task is all consuming. This does not mean they do not care, in fact they care so much that the job just has to get done! They have gone through a very deep process of feeling the things that break God’s heart so their focus remains on track.
- The job will get done no matter the cost – whether that is personal, financial, emotional or even loss of life.
- Their speech is direct – it is succinct as they speak and lay our their God given plans.
- They can appear distant. They are often not ‘with us’ as their thoughts are on what needs to be done. The task is all consuming and they don’t want to be side tracked by the things of this world.
- They can have a ‘don’t mess with me’ demeanor that can repel those who feel insecure or do not like change.
- They can come across as unloving but in fact they love so much they will not move from their God given task.
- They are orderly in their thinking and actions, with exact strategies laid out with a step-by-step list of things to be done to work toward the vision.
- They are very aware of timing – knowing they dare not move before time or too late and miss the full impact and effect of the plans and strategies.
- They walk in a Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. They know the weight of the task given to them to fulfill.
- They have a quiet determination that can come across as ‘they don’t care’ when in fact they care so much that it drives them to do all that needs to be done.
- They are intentional in their plan and purpose. There is no back down or compromising what the Lord has shown them to do.
- They are warriors – they have fought many battles that have forged on the inside of them an overcoming spirit.
- They know their God. They are acutely aware of His character and ways and are unwavering in their stand and love of Truth.
- They are mature in God. Their character has been tested and forged through the fires of affliction. They know what it is to grieve God’s heart because of sin.
- They have a quiet determination. They don’t have to be known, and are not looking for the accolades of man.
- There is no ambition or selfish motives. It has died in them as their lives are fully sold out to God.
- All religious ways have been worked out of their lives.
- They are lovers of the Word of God.
- They are teachable and obedient to God.
- They have one’s speaking into their lives and are accountable to those God has given to them.
- They are an active member of the body of Christ.
- Every area of independence has been exposed and dealt with so their obedience is absolute.
Ignorance breeds misunderstanding. We have to know the seasons and times we live in. We cannot let ignorance be a hindrance to what God has planned. As we search out the Word of God and seek Him for understanding He will show us what He is doing in this hour.
We need to be careful that fear does not rule because we don’t understand what is happening. All fear has to be looked at, confessed and choosing to overcome and move forward into the new things the Lord is doing. Fear cannot be an excuse to block or hinder those who are intent on fulfilling their God given mandate in this hour.
Another problem that can come is the accusation that these ones are religious. Their focus can be so devout that it is used against them, as it seems inflexible.
It requires great discernment to know those who are true. It will be by their fruits that you will know them.
It is about the foundations in their lives. Their lives are built on the firm foundations of Jesus Christ. They have been proven and are one’s who have stood without fear or favour.
We have to keep in mind that this is a divine intention. It is not built on sand; it will not give way or fall apart. It is a sovereign move of God and His plans and purposes will prevail.
Jesus Christ is our example. He knew that His life was about dying on the cross at Calvary for mankind’s sin. Everything prepared Him for this time. There was an exact time for this to happen. So it is with one’s called in this hour to do a specific task to advance God’s Kingdom here on earth.
They are apostolic warriors. They have an apostolic mandate to speak and do all the Lord requires.
Please pray the Lord would give you eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to perceive and understand what He is doing. Don’t be a stumbling block to the new thing the Lord is doing.
Now like never before is the time to run our race with endurance.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
