Twelve

The number 12 has kept being brought to my attention in my time with God. Strong's concordance reference 1212 is correlated with the Greek word délos meaning "clear and evident". In the Hebrew concordance it's reference for Betsalel, meaning "in the protection of God". Biblically, 12 is typically correlated with God's power, building firm foundation, and wholeness or completeness. If this is something God has been highlighting to you, let me share what He's revealed about this time... "I hear all your questions. I see you at the crossroads wanting my guidance on major decisions. I see you seeking confirmation. I see your frustration with lack of clarity. In areas I have not directly answered or given detailed clarity, here is my reason. My plans- My promises- to you were never a step-by-step procedure to accomplish that I would guide you through. My plans are a transformational process through which your intimacy with Me will increase. There is so much divine flexibility and room for growth. The big picture is so much bigger than you can wrap your mind around, which I why I haven't laid it all before you. But trust as you advance that you already have the clarity within you through the foundation I have laid. Trust that you walk in My protection. I will not lay a trap for you or try to confuse you. I will continue to hem you in as you continue to listen. I have completed a foundation within you over the past year that is now ready to be built on. My desire IS to guide you and bring you clarity because I already have. As you meditate on these words I'll remind you of things I have said and taught you in the past for which the appointed and applicable time has NOW COME. Be peaceful and patient in this process. Keep asking Me questions, and don't be surprised if I ask you some in return. Though you ask about small things, the answers you seek are really based in much bigger questions of identity and purpose. These are the questions I'm wanting to answer. These are what will bring wholeness and completeness that I designed you to walk in. Though it may feel like temporarily leaving the small things unanswered, as we focus on these deeper heart issues you will find that they resolve both big and small questions within your heart. Let me teach you through the Holy Spirit. Let me shore you up so that you are stable and strengthened in both the big and strong things. The time is growing short before you go to the next level that I have for you, and the enemy knows this. He is trying all he can to derail you since time draws short. Stand your ground. Stay connected. Keep asking." "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12 "for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” Luke 12:12 "So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees." Hebrews 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” Revelation 12:12
