Released May 2007 through Prophetess Theresa Johnson
This morning as I drove into the office to work, the Lord laid a heavy burden on my heart concerning his people. I thought of some of my closest friends and co-laborers in the Voices of Christ. I remembered something that my spiritual father always tells me: “Theresa, there is no one on this planet who is greater than you. You are just as capable as anyone else. Never forget that.”
My eyes watered. At first I thought I would cry, but a Holy boldness rose within me as I realized so many of God’s people are being deceived. That burden that I carried this morning as a prophet was a burden tied to destiny and in purpose. Then I realized something, the compassion of Christ must come back to the church. Yes, we have sympathy for the poor, the sick and the lame. But do we have the same compassion Christ had for people who – for some reason – can’t grasp the vision of God. As a result, they miss their visitation. They die having failed to fulfill their purpose on earth. Anyway, this is what the Lord shared with me:
“Daughter, many of my people are simply living day by day. Each day ends in frustration and toil. They are not living to maximize the JOY in their lives. When will they learn that MY JOY is their strength?”
Then the Lord gave me this prophetic word: “To be extraordinary, you have extraordinary people around you – not people who are going to confirm your negative circumstances and who fail to bring viable solutions into your life. If you find that you are the wisest person in your circle of influence; then it is your job to begin to impart wisdom into the people in that environment or find another another environment that will challenge you to greatness.
“I didn’t create anything common. I created the extraordinary!”
Proverbs 27:17 says: As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Acts 10:15, “And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”
