Sanctify Us Lord
At a recent Staff Meeting, we listened to one of Dutch Sheets videos. As we listened, we felt drawn to a time of prayer. So we prayed, we worshiped, and we shared scripture together. The Presence of the Lord was so strong. It was a holy time.
One of the scriptures we shared is the familiar one found in John 17:17. It is where Jesus is saying to the Father, “Sanctify them by Your truth….” That is what He is saying in this hour.
As Jesus’ followers we know He is speaking to us, but there is a sense of “What are You saying to me? Is there anything You want to adjust in my life?” I would say He is bringing our attention to something again. It may be that what the Lord is saying this time is taking a different direction, but the essence of the truth is there.
The scripture goes on to say, “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.” Imagine what your reaction might be in hearing the Lord say, “I am sending you.”
You might reply, “I’m not going anyplace. I leave work and I go home. I go to the grocery store, but I don’t really go anyplace because we are in lockdown. We can’t go anywhere.”
Maybe there is a message in your reply; something in our lives personally, right in our own home, our own dwelling place, our own working place. The places that we have become accustomed to and places we can’t run from. He is saying, “I’ve got you right here. Hear My voice. Listen to Me. I want to make some changes.”
That just makes me want to cry. Because it is a very precious thing God is allowing and doing in our lives.
Try the Key
I woke up thinking about the scripture that Dutch gave us and saying out loud, “‘22 is your number.” It is in Isaiah 22:22 that talks about the key.
I happen to have a key; it is a rather large, rusty old key and not one that most of us would use to open our own doors. But it has a message for us today.
It speaks to me about the key of the house of David, “I will lay on His shoulder so no one will open and no one will shut. And He will shut and no one will open.”
That verse says to me, that He has laid a key on each one of us for our personal lives. I am speaking of a key in the Spirit realm. There is something that has settled on our shoulders and we sense it is from Heaven. It is something for this new year that you will walk with in a way that is delightful to Him.
He has put this key on your shoulder and He does not want it to be a heavy, burdensome thing. He wants you to be aware that through you, He is going to use that key to open doors you could not get open before.
You have tried to open them. You even tried different keys. Maybe you tried with your shoulder or you tried kicking in the door. Nothing would open that door. But He has given you a key and has said, “Now is the time. Try the key in that door….”
Maybe what is behind that door is not everything you expected, but it is everything He put there. He will use every element, every person, every situation. Everything that opened by using that key, He will use in your life.
Lock That Door
Conversely that scripture says we will shut doors. Think about that. You are going to shut some doors that no man can open! That could represent things in your past, things you have struggled with, self-talk, negative talk, wrong talk – any kind of thing, whether it be a thought or a word or a way of behaving.
I was thinking of doors of the past that now seem closed. They were pleasant places where I would like to linger. But He is saying, “No, it has been shut. There is nothing from that past thing that you can bring along with you into the new. It is closed. It is finished. It is done.
Stand on the Rock
We don’t know what is coming this year and it doesn’t matter that we do not know because our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. We stand on the Rock that is Christ Jesus. The key is in our hand. The winds may come and they may go, but we will remain on the Rock.

Seigneur, Sanctifie-nous
Dernièrement, lors d’une réunion d’équipe, nous avons regardé une des vidéos de Dutch Sheets et au fur et à mesure que l’on écoutait le message, nous avons ressenti le besoin de prier. Alors nous avons prié, adoré le Seigneur et partagé ensemble la parole. La Présence du Seigneur était très forte; ce fut un moment de sainteté.
Nous avons partagé entre autre ce verset très connu dans Jean 17:17 lorsque Jésus dit au Père: “Sanctifie-les par Ta vérité….” C’est ce qu’Il nous dit aussi en cette heure.
Nous savons qu’Il s’adresse aussi à nous Ses disciples mais c’est comme s’Il nous disait: “que voulez-vous me dire? Voulez-vous que j’ajuste quelque chose dans votre vie?” Je dirais qu’Il est entrain d’attirer notre attention sur quelque chose, ou alors que ce qu’Il nous dit cette fois prend une direction différente mais l’essence de la vérité est bien là.
Le verset continue ainsi : “tout comme Tu m’as envoyé dans le monde, moi aussi je les envoie dans le monde.” Imaginez votre réaction si vous entendiez le Seigneur vous dire: “je t’envoie.”
Vous répondriez peut-être: “je ne vais nulle part. Une fois le travail fini, je rentre chez moi. Je passerai peut-être à l’épicerie mais je ne vais nulle part; de toute façon nous sommes confinés, nous ne pouvons aller nulle part.”
Il y a peut-être un message là dans votre réponse; quelque chose dans nos vies personnelles, chez nous, dans nos maisons, sur nos lieux de travail… ces lieux qui nous sont familiers et dont on ne peut s’échapper. Il est entrain de nous dire : “je te tiens là où tu es; entend ma voix, écoute-moi. Je veux opérer quelques changements dans ta vie.”
Ça me donne envie de pleurer car ce que Dieu permet dans nos vies est une œuvre précieuse.
Essaie la Clé
Je me suis réveillée en pensant à ce verset donné par Dutch lorsqu’il nous a dit : “‘le 22, c’est votre chiffre.” C’est Esaïe 22:22 qui parle de la clé.
Il se trouve que j’ai une clé qui est assez grande et un peu rouillée; ce n’est pas le genre de clé qu’on utilise pour ouvrir nos portes mais cette clé contient pour nous un message.
Cette clé me parle de la maison de David, “Je mettrai sur son épaule la clé de la maison de David: Quand il ouvrira, nul ne fermera; Quand il fermera, nul n’ouvrira. ”
Ce verset me dit qu’Il a posé sur chacun d’entre nous une clé pour nos vies personnelles. Je parle d’une clé dans le monde spirituel. Quelque chose a été posé sur nos épaules, quelque chose qui vient du ciel. Quelque chose pour cette nouvelle année qui nous donne de marcher d’une manière qui Lui est agréable.
Il a mis cette clé sur vos épaules et Il ne veut pas que ce soit quelque chose de lourd comme un fardeau; Il veut que vous sachiez que par vous, Il va se servir de cette clé pour ouvrir des portes que vous ne pouviez pas ouvrir auparavant.
Vous aviez cherché à les ouvrir; vous avez même essayé différentes clés. Vous aviez peut-être même essayé de forcer avec l’épaule ou de donner un coup de pied dans la porte mais en vain, la porte ne s’ouvrait pas. Mais Il vous a donné une clé et vous dit : “c’est le moment. Essaie cette clé avec cette porte….”
Ce qui se trouve derrière cette porte n’est peut-être pas tout ce que vous espériez mais c’est tout ce que Lui y a mis et Il utilisera chaque élément, chaque personne, chaque situation. Il utilisera dans votre vie tout ce qui s’ouvre avec cette clé.
Verrouiller Cette Porte
Inversement, ce verset nous dit aussi que nous allons fermer des portes. Imaginez un peu cela : vous allez fermer des portes qu’aucun homme ne pourra ouvrir! Cela pourrait représenter des choses de votre passé, des choses avec lesquelles vous avez eu des difficultés, des propos négatifs, des propos erronés – toute sorte de choses, que ce soit une pensée, un mot ou une façon de se comporter.
Je pensais à des portes du passé qui semblent maintenant fermées. C’étaient des endroits agréables où j’aimerais m’attarder. Mais Il dit : “Non, c’est fermé. Il n’y a rien de ce passé que vous puissiez apporter avec vous dans le nouveau. C’est fermé. C’est terminé. C’est fini.
Se tenir sur le Roc
Nous ne savons pas ce qui va se passer cette année et peu importe que nous ne le sachions ou pas, car notre espoir est fondé sur rien d’autre que le sang et la justice de Jésus. Nous nous tenons sur le Roc qui est le Christ Jésus. La clé est dans nos mains. Les vents peuvent venir et partir, mais nous resterons sur le Roc.

Santifica-nos, Senhor
Em uma recente reunião de equipe, ouvimos um dos vídeos de Dutch Sheets. Enquanto ouvíamos, nos sentimos convidados a um momento de oração. Oramos, adoramos e compartilhamos as escrituras juntos. A Presença do Senhor era tão forte. Foi um momento sagrado.
Uma das escrituras que compartilhamos é a que conhecemos em João 17:17. É onde Jesus está dizendo ao Pai: “Santifica-os na verdade …” Isso é o que Ele está nos dizendo neste momento.
Como seguidores de Jesus, sabemos que Ele está falando conosco, mas há uma sensação de “O que você está me dizendo? Há algo que você queira ajustar na minha vida?” Eu diria que Ele está novamente chamando nossa atenção para algo. Pode ser que o que o Senhor está dizendo desta vez esteja tomando uma direção diferente, mas a essência da verdade está lá.
A escritura prossegue dizendo: “Assim como me enviaste ao mundo, também eu os enviei ao mundo”. Imagine qual seria sua reação ao ouvir o Senhor dizer: “Estou enviando você”.
Você pode responder: “Não vou a lugar nenhum. Saio do trabalho e vou para casa. Vou ao supermercado, mas não vou a lugar nenhum porque estamos trancados. Não podemos ir a lugar nenhum. ”
Talvez haja uma mensagem em sua resposta; algo em nossas vidas pessoalmente, bem em nossa própria casa, nossa própria casa, nosso próprio local de trabalho. Os lugares aos quais nos acostumamos e os lugares dos quais não podemos correr. Ele está dizendo: “Estou com você bem aqui. Escute minha voz. Me escute. Eu quero fazer algumas mudanças ”.
Isso só me dá vontade de chorar. Porque é uma coisa muito preciosa que Deus está permitindo e fazendo em nossas vidas.
Use a chave
Acordei pensando na escritura que Dutch nos deu e dizendo em voz alta: “’22 é o seu número.” É em Isaías 22:22 que fala sobre a chave.
Acontece que tenho uma chave; é uma chave grande e enferrujada, que a maioria de nós não usaria para abrir as portas. Mas tem uma mensagem para nós hoje.
Ele me fala sobre a chave da casa de Davi: “Porei sobre os ombros dele a chave do reino de Davi; o que ele abrir ninguém conseguirá fechar, e o que ele fechar ninguém conseguirá abrir. ”
Esse versículo me diz que Ele colocou a chave para cada um de nós em nossa vida pessoal. Estou falando de uma chave no reino do Espírito. Há algo que se encaixou sobre nossos ombros e sentimos que vem do céu. É algo para este novo ano que você caminhará de uma maneira que seja agradável a Ele.
O Senhor colocou esta chave em seu ombro e não quer que seja algo pesado, um fardo. Ele quer que você saiba que, através de você, Ele usará aquela chave para abrir portas que você não conseguia abrir antes.
Você tentou abri-las. Você até tentou chaves diferentes. Talvez você tenha tentado com o ombro ou chutando a porta. Nada abriria essa porta. Mas Ele deu a você uma chave e disse: “Agora é a hora. Use a chave daquela porta …”
Talvez o que está atrás daquela porta não seja tudo que você esperava, mas é tudo que Ele colocou lá. Ele usará cada elemento, cada pessoa, cada situação. Tudo o que você abriu usando aquela chave, Ele usará em sua vida.
Tranque aquela porta
Por outro lado, essa escritura diz que fecharemos portas. Pense sobre isso. Você vai fechar algumas portas que nenhum homem pode abrir! Isso pode representar coisas do seu passado, coisas com as quais você lutou, conversas internas, conversas negativas, conversas errada – qualquer tipo de coisa, seja um pensamento, uma palavra ou uma maneira de se comportar.
Eu estava pensando nas portas do passado que agora parecem fechadas. Eram lugares agradáveis onde gostaria de ficar. Mas Ele diz: “Elas foram fechadas. Não há nada do passado que você possa trazer para o novo. Está fechado. Está terminado. Está concluído.
Fique na Rocha
Não sabemos o que está por vir este ano e não importa que não saibamos, porque nossa esperança está construída sobre nada menos do que o sangue e a justiça de Jesus. Estamos firmes na Rocha que é Cristo Jesus. A chave está em nossas mãos. Os ventos podem vir e partir, mas permaneceremos na Rocha.
Excellent blog, Jane. Despite the chaos around us, God is, indeed, opening new doors. We just have to be. willing to step through and be willing to let go of any preconceived ideas of what the future looks like.
I listen to you very regularly Jane-nearly every Friday on YouTube and I also read what you write because I know that you are one of the Lords true servants and messengers. So often God has used what you have said or written to speak into my life, and I consider myself truly blessed to be connected to you and the ministry via the web. May the Lord continue to bless and prosper the work of your hands and keep you strong and full of vigour for this new exciting season ahead. Thank you so much. Linda xx
