WHO ARE THE REMNANT? -PART 4

The Breaker Goes Before Them

Throughout this series, Father has gently been leading us on a remarkable journey. He first revealed that the Remnant are a people whom He is calling, preparing and restoring in this hour.

Then He showed us that the journey begins, not with outward religion, but with torn hearts. Hearts surrendered before Him, allowing Him to remove everything that is not of Him.

From there, Father unfolded the beautiful revelation of the Seeds of Correction. We discovered that His Word is the Seed, our torn hearts become the prepared soil, and YAHUSHUA Himself opens our understanding so that His Truth may take root and bear the fruit of obedience.

As I sat quietly before Father after completing Part Three, I found myself asking one simple question.

“Father… what happens after the Seed has been planted?”

“What is the inheritance of those who have allowed You to tear their hearts, receive Your correction and open their understanding?”

Without hesitation, He led me to the second chapter of Micah.

At first I wondered why.

After all, Micah begins with words of judgment. It speaks of people who covet fields, seize houses and rob others of their inheritance. It hardly seemed like the place Father would lead me after revealing such beautiful treasures.

But as I continued reading, another magnificent treasure began to unfold. Suddenly I realised that Micah was describing two completely different kinds of people. The first group desired an inheritance, but they sought to obtain it through their own strength.

They planned.

They pursued.

They possessed.

Rather than trusting YAHUAH to establish their inheritance, they attempted to establish it themselves. They coveted what belonged to others and, in doing so, lost sight of the One who gives every inheritance.

Then Father showed me something I had never connected before. The issue was never merely the land. The issue was always the heart, because as the chapter continues, Father raises prophets to speak His Word and He sends His correction. He lovingly warns His people.

Yet instead of receiving His Word, they respond with these sobering words:

“Do not prophesy…” (Micah 2:6)

My heart immediately returned to the revelation Father had given us in Part Three.

The Seeds of Correction.

The very Seed that could have restored them was the Seed they no longer wanted to receive. How often do we desire Father’s promises while resisting Father’s correction? How often do we pray for the inheritance while closing our hearts to the very Word that prepares us to receive it?

Once again Father reminded me that a hardened heart cannot receive His Seed. A proud heart argues with His correction, but a torn heart welcomes every word that proceeds from His mouth, trusting that every Seed He plants is preparing us for something far greater than we can yet see.

As I continued reading, the atmosphere of the chapter suddenly changed. The warning gave way to a promise and the judgment gave way to hope.

YAHUAH Himself speaks:

“I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold…” (Micah 2:12)

What a beautiful picture.

Joel describes the Remnant as a mighty army / Micah describes them as a flock of sheep.

Different pictures. The same people.

Joel shows them keeping rank / Micah shows them gathered together.

Joel shows them moving as one / Micah shows them following one Shepherd.

Father is not gathering a people around personalities, platforms or earthly kingdoms. He is gathering His Remnant.

One flock.

One people.

A people who hear one Voice. The Voice of YAHUAH.

The Remnant of Joel 2 are not building their own kingdoms. They are advancing the Kingdom of YAHUAH. They do not move according to personal agendas or human strategies >>> They move only when YAHUAH moves >>>They stop when He stops >>>They speak when He speaks and they remain silent when He is silent…because YAHUAH Himself is at their head.

Then Father brought me to the final verse of the chapter. As I read it, I realised this was not only the climax of Micah’s message. It was the climax of the entire journey He had taken us on throughout this series.

“The one who breaks open the way goes up before them; they break out, pass through the gate and go out by it. Their King passes before them, with YAHUAH at their head.” (Micah 2:13)

My heart overflowed. This is the inheritance! Not merely land, earthly possessions, not positions or titles.

The inheritance of the Remnant is this:

The Breaker goes before them.

The Gate is opened, the King leads His people and YAHUAH is at their head.

Immediately Father reminded me of another treasure He had already revealed earlier in this series…The Torah brings us to the Jordan and YAHUSHUA brings us through. He is the Door and He is the Way.

Now Micah reveals the same beautiful picture. The Breaker goes before His people and the Gate is opened…The Remnant simply follow and they are no longer trying to go before Him.. They have learned to follow.

Perhaps this has been Father’s message all along. The Remnant are not recognised by what they build. They are recognised by Who they follow. They have allowed Father to tear their hearts and they have received His Seeds of Correction.

They have allowed YAHUSHUA to open their understanding and they have borne the fruit of obedience. Now they walk together as one people, hearing one Voice, following one Shepherd, moving wherever He leads.

Beloved, I believe Father is restoring this Remnant in our day. Not a people seeking their own kingdoms, but a people seeking His Kingdom. Not a people pursuing their own name, but a people who desire only to glorify His Name.

A people who no longer run ahead of Him or lag behind Him, but who faithfully walk behind their King, knowing that wherever the Breaker goes before them, the way has already been prepared.

May we be found among that Remnant and may our hearts always remain torn open before our Father. May we never reject His loving correction and may YAHUSHUA continually open our understanding.

Beloved, may we faithfully follow our King wherever He leads, until that glorious day when YAHUAH Himself is forever at the head of His restored Remnant.

Shema beloved,
