BROKEN AND SHATTERED

Don't continue to look at the sorrow, the pain, the brokeness (which are the pillars of salt). Look only to the Lord. Because behold, you see through the glass darkly. But then, in the course of time you will stand in the presence of the Lord and see clearly. And you will be amazed! For while you are in this world, you are not of this world, and the world would have none of your Spirit; the world would tear down your walls. But know this, though Lucifer is free to run to and fro in this world, seeking whom he may devour, he does not have access to the Kingdom. Flesh battles flesh, and spirit battles spirit. Keep your eyes on Me, where your true strength comes from. Do not listen to the hissing of the enemy, but hear the music of rejoicing in the Kingdom, rejoicing for you. Seek Me first, always and lean on me. The choice is yours. Behold, I am always at your door.

[This was a word from the Lord, given 7/4/2012 9:30 AM PDT to Sunny Rowe for AHS, who came to ask about brokeness and unanswered prayer.]

"Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD; open your ears to the words of his mouth.. teach your daughters to wail (cry unto the Lord), teach one another to lament (be broken upon His rock)." [Jeremiah 9:20]

Teaching:  The "pillars of salt" referenced in this Word from the Lord relate to Lot's wife who continued to look back. She was so longing for what was past, that she could not look ahead. While she was one of God's chosen (salt of the earth) she became frozen in time, and thus a pillar. She never moved ahead, she never realized the goodness of the Kingdom.
