11:11 pm ... Lord, what does this mean !?!
Over the past four or five years, Marty and I have "time and time again" observed our clocks to read 11:11 pm. It has happened so many times that years ago, we investigated the meaning of the number 11 in various books on 'numbers' in the Bible. And what we read over the years about the number 11 was never very positive. One book indicates that if 10 represents perfection of Divine order, then 11 is an addition to it, subversive of and undoing that order. If 12 is the number which marks perfection of Divine government, then 11 falls short. It went on to say the number 11 in the Bible represents disorder, disorganization, imperfection, and disintegration.
I never really cared to think about how that description pertained to my own life!! ...if you know what I mean. ...ouch!
At one point we spoke to a minister who we met and admired very much. We shared how often we had seen 11:11 on various clocks on so many occasions. He stated that the number 11 can also mean, "transition."
And we thought, "well that's certainly better" ...as we've felt and continue to believe that we are in transition pertaining to the things of God in our lives. But truly, we have never been able to really connect all the dots, as to why God continued to have us observe this so many times over the years!
...On Monday night, February 16th, 2009, I was pondering a variety of things as I lay in bed and began drifting off to sleep. I rolled over to turn off the light and noticed the clock. And once again, it read 11:11 pm.
I hadn't mentioned this to the Lord in quite some time, but I immediately began talking with God and asked Him in earnest, ..."Lord, what does this mean?" and this is what immediately came to me:
“Because of My love for you, I continually am drawing you, warning you to transition from the fringes where chaos occurs…transition from double-mindedness into a life of diligence, discipline, and a complete renewal of the mind. It is a complete transition from the world and its system, into the very depths of My kingdom. There are too many who are teetering on the precipice of disaster, by staying on the fringe of renewing their minds through the diligent use of their time to read, study, meditate, assimilate, pray, pray in tongues, and spending time with Me. Rather, they continue to be influenced by the world and its system. Time is too short. The continued 11:11 is My warning to My people to transition out of the residue; out of the influence of their old lifestyles and completely and continually “renew their minds” to my word, saith the Lord. With this type of commitment to Me and My word, people will see double-mindedness vanish. And quickly, I say quickly...their prayers will be answered; their lives will be transformed in ways they’ve dreamed of. Tell My people that there is a way out of chaos and destruction and lack. It’s time to turn off the TV; its time to lay down their idols and return to Me with their whole heart and 100% of their lives. It is time to die, so they can live. Tell them there is great freedom in this process. I’m calling you to do this. I’m calling them to do this. Will you? Will they? Time is so short my son. It is time for My children to return to “study hall” and to read, meditate, and assimilate my living word. Praying in tongues will help in their process of complete renewal of their minds and purpose. Tell them."
We believe this word is an urgent word for the Body of Christ and so we share it with you. ...We trust you will seek the Lord and pray regarding this word.
Our hope is that you will make time for yourselves and enter into "the study hall of His sanctuary" as it pertains to your life and walk, with Him! We certainly are! You might have to 'put some things down' in order to allow more time for Him.
We are praying for you, our friends at KSI, that God's grace is with you to do whatever you need to do to draw closer to Him. We also pray this for ourselves and family members.
...He loves us, so very much! ...and He is drawing us! Will you respond to His love?!
Time is short....
