To Discern Beauty and Grace
To discern the beauty and grace — ever present — requires your ear to be attentive to the Good Shepherd, Who watches over you, as High Priest interceding on your behalf, as King of Glory, LORD of the Battle!
Praise God!
We truly are in the Revelation 3:10, hour of Trial and Temptation that has come upon the whole earth.
“Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth.” Revelation 3:10 AMPC.
The word here in Greek for TRIAL, is peirasmós pronounced pi-ras-mos’, meaning “putting to proof, experiment of good, experience of evil, discipline or provocation, adversity, temptation, and try.” (Strong’s Concordance G3986) This comes from the Greek word meaning TEST.
Saints, if ever there was an hour of TESTING AND TEMPTING, IT IS NOW!
Jesus promises the Church of Philadelphia, brotherly love, that He will keep them during this hour of trial, safely in His strength, because they had a patient endurance, bearing up under persecution, and nearly being worn out.
They held on, in the midst of suffering, waiting on God to bring His Mighty Strength, as in Isaiah 40:31.
“But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” Isaiah 40:31 AMPC
Saints, it cannot be emphasized that we don’t know our own hearts, and the aim, especially in this hour, is to be found in the LOVE OF GOD!
We’re in a time of great divisiveness that Jesus warned against, quoting from Micah 7:4-6, to bring soberness, that in the great falling away, the LOVE of many would grow cold.
This Love, Christ is referring to, is that of the Love of God; God is Love.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been teaching on repentance, and how most in The Church have backslid and don’t know it.
We don’t know our own heart, it’s deceitful. Only the Holy Spirit can show us our condition.
Presently, as the antimatter increases, whereby the behavior of many, will be even darker, we must remain in the banqueting House of God’s Love!
We have to focus on things above and not on this earth. We have to be mindful of what our energy is, in relation to what our members are given over to, realizing that God created mankind in HIS IMAGE!
Lately, all that runs through my mind throughout the day in coming across others is “they were created in the Image of God.”
This brings to mind James 3.
“For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea animal, can be tamed and has been tamed by human genius (nature). But the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless (undisciplined, irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the LORD and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God’s likeness! Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so. Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the same opening fresh water and bitter? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can a salt spring furnish fresh water. Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity). And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God’s will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].” James 3:7-18 AMPC.
Pesently, there’s more cursing going on among Christians than non-believers, throwing around terms like “he or she is a narcist, Ahab, Jezebel, has a demon, and the like.” Where is this in the Word of Truth that we’re to do this?
There’s more being done in the Name of God that damages souls, than ever before.
I’ve seen this even recently with those speaking against Camp Mystic, a Christian Camp.
It’s deplorable. Let me tell you for certain, GOD IS NOT IN THOSE WHO DO THIS! They are hypocrites, as in Matthew 7, and won’t enter heaven.
Saints, the fruit of our life, should exemplify LOVE!
We should have 1 Corinthians 13 as our standard, and exude the Light and Life of Christ, being the Salt of Love, the Flavor of God, in this world.
Saints, please consider fasting and humbling yourselves.
Next week, I will be doing a corporate fast for the hour, praying for souls and humbling myself.
For those who want to join in, please consult your medical doctor if you have illness, and for others, please pray about if you are to join.
God bless!
A saint crying out to God for fullness of deliverance and the manifestation of salvation.

Robin Kirby-Gatto operates in the prophetic, bringing the testimony of Jesus into the earth through the scripture Revelation 19:10 “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Robin walks in God’s Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding and is brought into areas to bring a revelation of God’s Truth, The Word as the Holy Spirit brings forth God’s anointing into her ministry.
I agree, the comments on Camp Mystic have been disgusting. 27 little girls lost, families and friends and communities devastated. They need prayer support and care, not speculation, moralising or judgement.
This is truth from the Lord and thank you for having the bravery to say it. Many Christians pray for His Kingdom to come but ignore His heart of purity and mercy. The same people calling for unity are often the same people using harsh, judgemental language on others. Even respected apostles and prophets sometimes gloat if they think a prophecy is proving true. Unproven accusations of demonization and terrible wickedness that too many are quick to repeat as though truth, especially if the accused is a different denomination, race, nationality or political belief. Why is it suddenly acceptable to stop believing the best of people, as we are called in Corinthians, just because we disagree with them? And it is so sad in Christian community and social media, the number of times, if someone comments in a way that expresses their sadness or is not totally agreeing and sycophantic with the general view, other commenters will make a patronising statement about the first person being in error or needing more discernment or lacking faith. That is not unity, purity, love, humility or peace. We’ve all been brought out of darkness by grace. Walking in peace is not tolerating sin but it isn’t condemning others either. That is not the way of holiness. Justice and mercy is not ignoring God’s boundless love even to the chief of sinners. We all need to repent. We all need to humble ourselves under His mighty hand. We are called to be light in the Lord.
I could not agree more!
So true Robin, we need to begin/continue to pray for many that God will bring Change to hearts and minds to be able to aligned with His Heart.
Blessings peace and love to you dear Robin.
Beloveds,
Stay in Peace. When you see the enemy operating, when you hear him speaking thru mankind, PRAY! Pray for GOD’S MERCY; PRAY the LORD to bring correction, PRAY for the souls of mankind. PRAY for GOD’s WILL to be done in the earth; PRAY for HIS KINGDOM to COME!
The LORD JESUS CHRIST IS NOT DONE YET!!!
The shaking will continue until all is revealed.DO NOT FEAR. KING JESUS HAS GOT THIS.
PRAY
Amen
