COME OUT OF YOUR CAVE by Bill YountWHILE in Israel I hiked to the mountain of Engeddi, which is where David hid in caves from Saul. David was anointed to be King over Israel but went into hiding because of his pursuing enemy. You can have a great call of God and destiny on your life but be in hiding. The Lord spoke to me up near those caves where David hid. God said, "Tell My people to come out of their caves.., their Sauls have been slain! Your enemies have been slain! Come out of your Caves of Fear, Caves of Doubt, Caves of Unbelief. Come out, I want to use you! "This day the Spirit of Saul that has hounded you and has driven you into Caves — intimidating you — is being destroyed." There is a cave in Engeddi that can hold 3 000 soldiers. Whole churches can be in a cave, intimidated by the enemy. FEAR OF LACK OF FINANCES I saw some caves that you may have difficulty coming out of to go forward into God’s purposes for your life. The biggest cave I saw in the Spirit was the "Cave of the Fear of a Lack of Finances" to accomplish what God is calling you to do. A revelation jumped in my spirit of what is written on our American money and every coin and penny. It says’ in God We Trust." God spoke to me. "Tell My people... don’t count your money... read it!" Don’t count on how much you have or don’t have, count ME... Count ME into your God-given Destiny. We are not lead by money but by His Spirit we are led. We must find out what God wants us to do and then trust Him and step out of that Cave. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN Another Cave I saw was "The Fear of the Unknown." What’s out there? I don’t know, let’s go find out! Many want to wait and know all the details before stepping out of the cave. But God doesn’t tell us everything at once. Revelation follows obedience. God speaks as He confirms what HE wants us to do. Then obedience must follow. Then He explains.., maybe. Abraham went out not knowing where he was going and he ended up with a city who builder and maker was God. Another Cave was "A More Convenient Time." But there will never be a convenient time for our flesh to feel like stepping out for God. Now Faith IS... faith is for now. A CAVE CALLED "MY PLANS" Another Cave is "My Plans? Someone said:’ If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans, And if you want to laugh, wait till you hear His!" We must leave our plans in the cave as we step out into His purposes. There’s a Cave called "Fear of Failing." What if we fail as we step out? Listen... What if we don’t? If we fall we will fly. God is stirring our nest of comfort like a mother eagle to get us out on the edge of the nest so He can give us a love push over the edge. We were not born to stay in the nest but to learn like the eaglet that it is through falling that we learn to flap our wings and fly with the wind that’s beneath us. One of the largest Caves I saw was "The Cave of Past Failure" that held us back from the present and the future. PETER FELL? When I was on the Sea of Galilee about half way across, I said to the Lord, "Lord this is the sea where you called Peter out of the boat and Peter walked on the water before he fell in? I said "Lord are we near the place where Peter got out of the boat and walked on water before He fell?" The Lord answered me. "What do you mean Peter fell? This is the Sea where Peter walked!" As though He didn’t understand my question. Listen... He doesn’t see your failure either. If you have confessed your sin and failures to Him, they are gone, gone, gone. They are not even in the bottom of the Sea of Forgetfulness... the fish ate them! God did not see the last time you fell. He only saw the last time you got back up! Come out of the Cave of your Past. God has need of you. OUR LAST CAVE DAY By faith I am going to blow the shofar into your caves and you are going to come out... ready or not. The breath of God is going to blow you out of every cave of hiding and His breath will blow every cave in, so you will not be able to go back in them. Even the dust from those caves falling in will praise Him. The Lord says to you. "Come out with your hands up!" Leave everything in the cave. You won’t need it. He has new things to give you to fulfil His purposes. Right now His breath is blowing… step out now. God has need of you! This is your last "Cave Day!" Receive His breath and be blown into your Destiny! t Bob Simons
