I heard the Lord say “ prehistoric roots” and wondered & looked up ancient and roots in the Word…

Isa 51:9-10 NKJV   Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD!  Awake as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Are You not the arm that cut Rahab apart,  and wounded the serpent?  10  Are You not the One who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; That made the depths of the sea a road for the redeemed to cross over?

Dan 7:22-23 NKJV  …until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.  23 "Thus he said:  'The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces.

Isa 11:1 NKJV   (Isa 9:1-7)  There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots .
     OT:8328  sheresh (sheh'-resh); from OT:8327; a root (literally or figuratively):
     KJV - bottom, deep, heel, root.
     OT:8327  sharash (shaw-rash'); a primitive root; to root, i.e. strike into the
     soil, or (by implication) to pluck from it:  KJV - (take, cause to take) root (out).

Col 2:7 AMP   Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.

“ I am uprooting some things that have their foundations in prehistoric roots of rebellion, doubt and deceit.  I AM rooting up and stirring up ancient foes for I will make an end to the wickedness that sets the teeth on edge. The roots of this battle of end times go back to what happened even before anything was written down.  Thus there is nothing new under the sun !  The enemy does not change his tactics, only the vessels he carries them out through.

All that is hidden will be revealed.  Thus you must make your home MY HOME.  You must center your life in JESUS.  You must make a way in the desert to come to ME, the Ancient of Days, and allow me to uproot anything in your heart that is aligned with the ancient foe !  All ideas that are not MY ideas.  All opinions that are NOT My opinion !  All sin and wrong thinking needs to be brought into submission to your spirit man.

You cannot function consistently in My KINGDOM if you walk in the worldliness of the thinking of man, and the vain philosophies of man.  I AM the GREAT I AM.  I AM the ANCIENT OF DAYS.  I was long before man existed !  Your foundation for the future MUST BE in ME Who was long before mans’ records began.  If you want to see clearly, you must SUBMIT to MY WILL in your life and not walk according to YOUR OWN WILL.  This root of WILLFULNESS outside MY WILL, is rooted in prehistoric times -  Times of the fall of angels that once served ME.  I am the Ancient of Days, and there is nothing I don’t know.  I am omniscient.  Man is NOT.  I AM all seeing. Man is NOT.  You don’t know what lies ahead, but I DO.  You don’t know everything, but I DO.  You don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but I DO !

I will remove every foundation that is not centered in GODLY prehistoric roots !  I AM the foundation which every man must build on.  JESUS is the prehistoric ROOT that you must be found in.  Many think they know ME but they are deceived.  Why do you judge oh man, what is already judged and condemned ?  Have you not seen ?  Have you not heard ?  It is I Who sits in the heavens and laughs !  It is I WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS and the earth !  Will you continue to look to yourself ?  Or will you LEARN to lean on ME and My wisdom, MY power, MY understanding, MY knowledge ?     Will you stop giving in to prehistoric ways, prehistoric roots of rebellion and thought ?  Will you TURN to ME for what you need to know ?  Will you stop thinking you know better than I do ?  Have you no humility ?  Have you no shame in thinking you are better than another ?

You are NOTHING without ME.  YOU CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT ME !
It is only BY ME that you are saved !  It is only BY ME, that you have anything of intelligence, wisdom, ability or talent !  NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING can be done apart from ME that will last.  I am the Author of inventions.  Yes some things come by the ancient foe, but his world will not endure. MY KINGDOM ENDURES FOREVER, LIKE MY LOVE.  What is not built on the ROCK, will not stand forever. Some things will endure for a time, but will NOT endure forever as MY KINGDOM WILL.

Root yourselves FIRMLY in the ROCK THAT IS HIGHER. Root yourselves in the ANCIENT OF DAYS. ROOT yourselves in LOVE – MY LOVE.  Be confident in My ability to defend you, to be your ROCK OF DEFENSE.  For I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind.  Do not believe the lies of false prophets who think their great words will turn around the events written in the WORD.  BEHOLD the whirlwind will carry away anyone not rooted and grounded in ME. For I AM TRUTH.
You must LOVE THE TRUTH and the truth you understand will set you FREE to be all I’ve made you to be.  Your CONFIDENCE must be in ME, and not in your own self, or abilities or the abilities of others.”

Rom 9:33 NKJV  As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."  

Matt 7:22-29 AMP   Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?  23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]. [Ps 6:8.] 
24 So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.  25 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
27 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
28 When Jesus had finished these sayings [the Sermon on the Mount], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching,  29 For He was teaching as one Who had [and was] authority, and not as [did] the scribes.

1 Cor 10:4-5 AMP  And they all drank the same spiritual (supernaturally given) drink. For they drank from a spiritual Rock which followed them [produced by the sole power of God Himself without natural instrumentality], and the Rock was Christ. [Ex 17:6; Num 20:11.]   5   Nevertheless, God was not pleased with the great majority of them, for they were overthrown and strewn down along [the ground] in the wilderness. [Num 14:29,30.]

1 Peter 2:7-10 NKJV  Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"   8 and "A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Luke 8:13-14 NKJV   But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.
