Patterns reveal prophetic pictures. Patterns are everywhere. The honeycomb is a pattern; railroad tracks are a pattern; coaches play sheets reveal patterns; sermons follow patterns; people have behavior patterns; cities operate by patterns; companies have cultural patterns. Patterns are everywhere and they reveal things if we can see or hear the pattern.

A pattern has arisen this past year of people suddenly and without notice ending relationships. In the modern vernacular it is called ghosting. This happened to me and I took it very personally, wondering what I did wrong, until the Lord used the sudden ending to heal me.

If this only happened to me it is not a pattern, but since it happened to me, I have had many people, young, old, single, married, friendships, dating relationships all end suddenly. The pattern was the same. Ghosting, one day all was well the next day they stop talking to you, no notice, no warning, no explanation, just done.

I have come to realize this is not an isolated incident, this is intentional, but because it hurts, it takes healing to see it for what it is. Now this may not be all it is, but this is what the Lord showed me this morning what it is. I got a call this week from two people this happened to and they are beside themselves, processing the pain of it the way I did with tears, anger, justification and confusion.

I asked the Lord about this pattern I am seeing in the body of Christ and I heard in my spirit, “That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.” (Matthew 24:40-42). No it is not the rapture, it is seperation.

The separation is the fingerprints of God who is appearing to us right now. We cannot see God, but we can see His fingerprints. Matthew said, when the Son of Man appears there will be separation, suddenly, without notice. God is appearing right now. Can you see His fingerprints?

I don’t know the why, but I do see the what. The what is a pattern of seperation. The mystery is why? If we cannot be comfortable with mystery, we will not see the fingerprints of God in the seperation and shift our eyes from the person we were separated from to the God who is appearing right now.

There are so many questions people are asking as to why, but God is not answering that question, rather He is saying what is happening. Seperation is happening. Why? I don’t know, but what I do know is that if we are experiencing separation it is because He is appearing and I do not want to miss the time of His visitation. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
