Thought life-Choice-Actions-Habits-Character-Destiny

Habits of Life or Destruction Brian Francis Hume http://cause2impact.blogspot.com/ Is it plausible to suggest that the fulfillment of the calling upon your life is determined by the habits that you form? Habits are more powerful in determining long-term success and impact than simply our perceived intentions or motivations. Many have desired to change the world—yet few have done so in a manner that they intended to. Why is this so? One possibility: They didn’t have the necessary inner fortitude to bring about the God-ideal future into reality. Godly habits beget desirable outcomes that are in alignment with heaven’s will for our lives. In fact I would venture to say that each single person changes the world based on their habits, whether they realize it or not. We all have habits. As the old cliché asserts, we are creatures of habit. However the question remains: Are my habits life-giving (reinforcing my God-ideal future) or are they impeding my desired long-term outcomes? Bad habits (i.e., elevating self at the expense of others, lusting in your heart, lying, negative self-talk, procrastination, laziness, etc.) will impede and undermine all that the Lord desires to do in us and through us. The world is changed for the better or for the worse as a result of the habits that we formulate—hence, the need for Spirit-inspired habits in our lives is paramount. How do you define habit? Here is my working definition-in-progress: What you do consistently day-in and day-out that reveals and determines who you really are. I’m sure many of you have read the following that has proven to be so true in the course of history: Your thoughts influences your choices; your choices will determine your actions; your actions will become your habits; your habits develop your character; and your character will determine your destiny. Note the progression: Thought life-Choice-Actions-Habits-Character-Destiny. Furthermore, it can be rephrased: "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” This is in alignment with the biblical principle of sowing and reaping. There isn’t anything more devastating than a believer who has become passive and apathetic in the pursuit of the Lord. Often those ensnared in the vice of lust and pornography have become lethargic in addressing the call to holiness in their lives. I can attest to this from past personal experience. Think about it. It starts as a thought not to take action within a given context such as a quick glance (seemingly innocent) at a magazine rack or a commercial during a football game. Or possibly a double take when an attractive woman walks by at the mall or in the hallway. Or it could be an "innocent" click on a Foxnews "news" article concerning a celebrity. No harm done. Nobody even noticed. Meanwhile the thought life is suddenly experiencing a barrage of enticing thoughts—it seems so harmless, just a quick, passing flashback about an immoral past experience. Over time you find yourself consistently drawn to scantily dressed women on the Internet. It seems that images easily trigger an adrenaline rush that is quite intoxicating. You feel so alive. Upon the completion of the lust binge, you quickly “repent” afterwards with much worldly sorrow, but fail to take measures to address the sin issue. Soon you are repeating the very thing that you vowed not to do again. Disillusionment kicks in. Shame becomes a constant companion as passivity reigns supreme. On “good days” you manage not to indulge in your secret habit—however, the constraint was aided by a desire not to be overwhelmed by shame. Callousness of the heart is evident. Ability to empathize with those hurting is compromised because the soul is bitter, numb, and passive. What was once something that you thought you had “under control” is now a habit that has taken on a life of its own—it now controls you. In time your character is defiled. Lust abounds. Although suppressed when appropriate, your inwards rage all the more for the illicit, forbidden fruit of lust. When you do partake of it, it seems to temporarily relieve you of your misery—a moment of bliss—only to quickly abandon you when the time has passed. Lust is never satisfied—lust breeds more lust. The past echo of momentary pleasure rings hollow, exposing the shallowness of one’s vain pursuits—yet the pain of death never seems to subside. Again, you find yourself confined to hell on earth. Interestingly, sleeping giants slumber within, awakened when confronted. The inner rage is at full tilt, tipping at the point when responsibility is demanded of the passive man. Without fail, passivity comes alive with a vengeance when confronted with the truth of the man’s sin. The hidden shroud of self-pity is fully exposed, thus it seeks to take shelter under the guise of a tongue lashing that spews venom. Now the destiny of the man is looming towards destruction. However, it doesn’t have to end in a destiny forfeited. What was once deemed as impossible (a life of integrity and purity) can become a reality through the redeeming work of Christ. Hence, one must count the cost to determine if they are willing to pay the price for restoration, freedom, self-control, and character—namely, the inner fortitude of Christlikeness. It is a process. It is grueling. It is painstakingly slow. Foul thoughts constantly bombard the mind. Fantasies swirl uninhibited, bemusing its captivating strength to allure the downtrodden. The seemingly forsakened man trudges along in spite of the constant feeling of no hope. Over time thoughts are increasingly taken captive—slowly but steadily—as the soul in anguish cries out to God, "God have mercy on me!" Despair and desperation lock head on—desperation in the grace of God prevails. The prayer of the subdued changes. No longer is the prayer to remove the temptation—rather, it is something of this effect, “Strengthen me to overcome the temptation!” Hell stands still. No longer is the man passive, seeking the easy way out—instead, he has chosen to ask the Lord to give him what delights His heart: A life that possesses the inner fortitude of Christlikeness. It is a process to be conformed to the image of Christ. Inner strength begins to grow as thoughts are consistently taken captive. Slowly the desires of the heart began to reflect God’s desires. Albeit the change is the occasional stumbling, however, the righteous man is quick to get up with godly sorrow that brings about a heart of repentance. It is a stumbling forward facedown before the Cross. It is a broken man, pliable in the hands of the Almighty. Truly it is a confrontation of colossal proportions: broken, weak man in the strength of the Spirit of God confronts the giants that once loomed large in his life. The man who trembles before the Word of the Lord becomes the conduit in which all of hell trembles. The process of trembling is the very process of the Word becoming Incarnate in the man's life. The once passive man becomes a champion for the Cause of Christ, slaying the giants of perversion, lust, and self-centeredness that dominates the cultural landscape. The image of the forbidden that once seared the conscience is now replaced by the image of Christ in the man. Shame has turned to delight; mourning has become joy; selfishness; and lust has been trumped by the love of God. Choice after choice, day in and day out, begins to formulate the bedrock of humility, hope, faith, holiness, gentleness, and the like—it is the emergence of the image of Christ fully demonstrated in a weak, trembling man. It is the broken man who is able to overcome the temptations of the flesh because faith, hope, and love overcame him. Brokenness wrought forth in the once passive man reveals a stunning display of the triumphant God-man, Christ Jesus—“Christ in you the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27) My Closing Throughts Today is the day to start moving towards this place of restoration. Don't be like the man that I heard about today. At the age of 89 years old, he was on his deathbed in the hospital. A young friendly, caring nurse attended to his needs to ensure that this man could die with a measure of dignity. Sadly, this man boasted to his family that this woman was flirting with him because she desired him sexually. Huh? He erroneously mistaken the actions of a gentle, kind nurse as some indicator of sexual attraction. This was a man who had given his life to a constant intake of pornography. Don't allow pornography to take you to your deathbed with a hellish grip on your life. May it be said that you lived well (i.e., set apart, consecrated, holy, pure, righteous) so that you may die well. Don't waste your life. Repent now and do what it takes to walk in victory over this sin. For the Cause, Brian Francis Hume

THE OVERCOMER”- A PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO LEARN TO STEP ASIDE

Dear Child of God who is hungry for His presence,

Recently I received another extremely rich and fresh teaching insight from a minister in Sweden. The man writing this is the person who heads up the ministry and is an intense intercessor and a prophetic voice.

I DON'T WANT TO LOAD YOU ALL DOWN WITH BUNDLES OF EMAIL.

However...

...This one is an impassioned cry for those who are willing to obey the Lord - at any price.

Right now, everything in the Church as we have know it to be, is being examined under the microscope of God. He is not allowing anything to be hidden, justified, or explained away.

RAW exposure is what I call it!

This meaty article simply amplifies what the Lord is doing in His Body. Enjoy!

In His Shadow,

“THE OVERCOMER”
A PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO LEARN TO STEP ASIDE

By Lars Widerberg
EPC@Comhem.se


Reading:
Numbers: chapter 14

ISRAEL AT KADESH-BARNEA. ON THE EDGE OF ENTERING…
AT THE THRESHOLD OF OBTAINING… FINALLY MAKING IT.
Just send some spies to gather up-to-date information on the situation beyond the border ˆ send them in to see what ordinary men cannot see, send men of stature. Write a report; write positively… "We have been walking for long under horrible conditions." Ours is a hope of general blessings according to promises made. Ours is a hope of special favors because they say we are a special people. Israel at Kadesh-Barnea, not knowing where they were, not understanding the spiritual meaning of their position in time and spiritual geography.

KADESH, A LOCATION IN THE WILDERNESS of Paran between Shur and Edom, sometimes-called En-mishpat, the fountain of judgment. Kadesh, an indispensable stop along the path of ascent into the fullness of the Lord. Kadesh holds the significance of sanctification;

IT COVERS THE NECESSITY OF THOROUGH PREPARATION FOR THE UNCONVENTIONAL. Its meaning and role is something very much more and something altogether different than a long awaited turning point in routines, something far beyond a hopeful response to the all too common altar call and invitation to get blessed by the guest-speaker of the night. Kadesh-Barnea reappears in the spiritual geography of pilgrimage from time to time as a site at which the people chosen to be vessels for the testimony re-gather and convene to open up for the Lord to have His way with His people. Israel missed the mark at that first gathering.

A REPETITIOUS BEHAVIOR OCCURS AMONG THE PEOPLE OF GOD EVEN TODAY, WHEN HORNS ARE BLOWN AND A VOICE CALLS OUT: "NEXT STOP, KADESH!"

Now, the spies were sent. They were all men of stature. They had all visited Kadesh before during their inner walk with the Lord. Two of them proved later on to stand the test amidst the necessary confrontation and pressure at the intersection where spiritual values are brought to bear on physical realities.

THESE MEN HAD GONE A LONG WAY IN THE PREPARATION, WHICH WAS MEANT TO ENABLE THEM FOR LEADERSHIP, for the role of being helpers of the many men and women who were chosen to live and walk in an ever increasing fullness of Christ. What they went through at their Kadesh was in a sense prophetic as to the development of the kind intention of the Lord which he purposed in Christ with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is a summing up of all things in Christ. Eph 1:9-10.

KADESH SIGNIFIES A SPACE, A LOCALITY IN MIND, HEART AND SPIRIT WITH MEN AS WELL AS IN TIME AND GEOGRAPHY IN WHICH GOD HOLDS THE FIRST, REALLY THE ONLY PLACE. Kadesh, when it is allowed its proper role, is a situation in which the Lord thoroughly and totally rules. This is sanctification, to be set aside for the purposes of God, something set aside as a vessel for the administration of the fullness of Christ.

Again, these men were set aside for the purpose of an example of stature and for leadership. THEY HAD BEEN THOROUGHLY DEALT WITH IN THE SCHOOL OF MOSES. THESE SPIES WERE FULLY PREPARED TO TAKE ON HARDSHIP AND TO OVERCOME ANY AND EVERY OBSTACLE COMING IN THEIR WAY IN THIS NEW REALM OF OPERATION. They were trained to survive, even more; they were mature men able to stay strong and courageous for the sake of a sound report and for continuity. They were overcomers. These men leave us questions to ponder:

WHAT IS AN OVERCOMER?
What is the main object, the first and foremost obstacle as to which this particular frame of mind is set fort as the only possible way of ministration and management?

AT THE POINT OF RETURN THESE BRAVE MEN SOBERLY STATED THAT THE PROTECTION, THE COVERING ˆ LITERALLY, THE SHADOW ˆ HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PEOPLES OCCUPYING THE LAND INTO WHICH THE LORD OF HOSTS INTENDED TO TAKE THEM, NUM 14:9. One might say that the power of the cross of Christ already was in operation, Col 2:15. Their shadow had faded, due to the presence of something or someone who had a far greater potential pertaining to protection, provision and peace. No fear needed to take heed to, not even in the valley of the shadow of death. This is in short our position and foundational viewpoint regarding to the matter of overcoming. The enemy, any enemy, once and for all overcome through the power of the blood of Jesus.

THE ENEMY IS CONQUERED FOR THE SAKE OF THE FULL AND UNLIMITED PRESENCE AND AUTHORITY OF THE FATHER.
But, this foundational, high potency fact is reinterpreted with great hurry and efficiency into common categories of ordinary man.

FLESH REAPPEARS AT THE CENTER OF THE SCENE OF REVELATION, REINFORCING ITS POSITION BY MEANS OF A STRONG HAND, CLEVER THINKING AND LOTS OF PUMPING ADRENALINE WITH THE SOLE INTENTION OF TAKING THE KINGDOM BY FORCE. It opens the mind to great prospects, but prospects rooted and embedded in gross misunderstanding publicly announcing easy pain reduction, declaring any problem to be solved by swift cuts by the sword of the Word. What we are left with is an overcoming intensely occupied with the enemy rather than a proper realization of Kades-Barnea "sanctification in progress", an ever-increasing yieldedness, an ever-growing occupation with the One sitting at the Thorne in Heaven.

THE REPORT OF THE RETURNING SPIES TRIGGERED A REACTION AT FULL BLAST FROM THE DESERT MIND:
"All the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. And all the sons of Israel grumbled."
Num 14:1-2.

AT THE POINT OF PREPARATION FOR THE UNCONVENTIONAL, EVEN FOR THE UNATTAINABLE, THERE WAS BUT GRUMBLING. The Father, the Lord of Hosts, had a plan in motion since long with a view to an administration suitable to the purpose of his own, which is to allow Christ to be all in all.

FOR THIS REASON KADESH-BARNEA IS A MOVING SANCTUARY. IT IS PORTABLE. IT TAKES YOU EVERYWHERE.
WITHOUT IT YOU WILL GO NOWHERE.

KADESH IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE!
THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY TO GIVE THE LORD THE FIRST PLACE, EVEN THE ONLY PLACE!

KADESH MOVES WITH US INTO EVERY SITUATION,
DEMANDING THE VINDICATION OF THE LORD.

KADESH IS SET FORTH AS THE ONLY APPROACH TO OVERCOMING IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION ˆ THE WILLINGNESS TO STEP DOWN, TO YIELD, TO GIVE GOD THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO JUDGE, INSTRUCT AND TO COMMAND.

OVERCOMING IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS… EXCEPT FOR OBEYING.

OVERCOMING DOES NOT LIE WITHIN YOUR REALM OF DECISION MAKING… EXCEPT FOR ACCEPTING THE WILL AND WAY OF THE LORD.

AN OVERCOMER LEARNS TO AVOID THE MANY TRAPS
and pitfalls projected to stir the flesh and mind to try to be strong without the Lord. The overcomer learns to say no to the many additions and pluses to salvation and overcoming which the "shadows" present to tease your senses or impose by heavy pressure. Salvation is by the Lord, not by techniques. Overcoming is not a set of neat principles to follow, it is a full scale giving up of rights and personal prospects for the sake of presenting a heart open to the grace of God.

AFTER A FULL NIGHT OF CRYING AND GRUMBLING IN THE CAMP OF ISRAEL, Kadesh turned into En-mishpat, the fountain of judgment. And the judgment was harsh and drastic. This people of Israel, under the shadow of the Lord, flip from a state of thick darkness to the practical opposite. "We are going to take the kingdom by force and that at this very moment". Was this change in line with spiritual reality, in accordance to true concepts of overcoming? This was a people that did not want to obey when the Lord gave instructions. This was a people who tried to overrule the judgments of the Lord, claiming covering and applying promises in a situation in which the Lord did not take part.

THIS IS THE HEART OF THE FALSE OVERCOMING.
This is spiritual bravado. Man taking the right to apply promises according to his own mind. Man taking the right to claim covering, moving in into areas of spiritual confrontation on his own.

"But they went heedlessly." This was a people wavering between the prospect of eating themselves to death at the tables in Egypt, even contemplating suicide in the wilderness right in front of the Tabernacle and taking the new land, the promised land in a spirit of bravado " a vaunted display of courage and self-reliance." They were swaggering, blinded to the true nature of overcoming.

MODERN CATEGORISING WOULD SOON FIND THESE POOR FELLOWS TO HAVE BEEN CONTRACTING A CHARISMATIC NEUROSIS finding them to being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, stirred to temporary action by fanciful projects laid before them by men without stature. Men of stature follow hard after the Lord in a pursuit to serve with a view to an administration suitable to fullness and stature in the fullness of the times perfectly according to the purpose of God.

What was the country like which they had been tied to for so long?

IT WAS A DESERT COUNTRY, DRY AND TARDY. IT DID NOT PRODUCE MUCH EXCITEMENT. Prospects of produce and prosperity were low indeed. Its original dwellers were the Amorites. For some unknown reason they carried this awkward name. It denoted persons prone to be talkative; the old reliable Hebrew dictionary called them praters. This label pointed out the abuse of words, a talking idly and at length depriving words and concepts of their true value.

Paul mentions a cleverness of speech used to empty the cross of Christ of its saving power, 1Cor 1:17.
THIS IS THE SHADOW PROJECTED INTO THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LORD, PRODUCING THE WAVERING BETWEEN DEPRESSION UNTO SUICIDE DECREED BY UNWILLINGNESS TO HEAR AND OBEY AND A FATAL SPIRITUAL BRAVADO ROOTED IN THE EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION AND ATTITUDE.

THERE WERE ONLY TWO MEN WHO DID NO BOW TO THE COMMON DESERT MENTALITY, A NEGLIGIBLE ENTITY WITHIN THE WHOLE, A REMNANT IF YOU LIKE. But, this minority of minorities carried the vital substance of spirituality ˆ a different spirit, Num 14:24 ˆ which the Lord counted as the only thing worth carrying over into the future.

HOW UTTERLY SAD, A WHOLE GENERATION LOST
at Kadesh-Barnea simply because they could not identify and hold on to what was of real value, exchanging genuine overcoming for presumption and bravado. THIS IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD BUT UNDER THE SHADOW OF POWERS THAT REINSTATE FLESH ON THE THRONE. There is no successful "what a word to use in relation to what we are considering here" no successful prayer warfare without a thorough work of the Holy Spirit at a constantly reappearing Kadesh-Barnea.

THE GLORY OF GOD IS FOR REAL.
THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS SOMETHING TANGIBLE, SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL.

IT CANNOT BE REPLACED WITH A COUNTERFEIT.
A nation of priests is to carry it through the wilderness of out time.

THE PRESENCE OF THE FATHER, THE MAJESTY OF GOD, THE STATURE AND DIGNITY OF THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY WILL NOT ALLOW PRESUMPTION, PRETENSION OR FALSEHOOD. Who dares to come up with concepts of worship, things aimed at pleasing the Lord, things aiming at giving room for his glory, which at the same time does not project the purposes of Heaven? The Amorite does. The one who do not care for the cross does. The one who do not care for the well of judgment ever present along the path of pilgrimage dares to do so. The one who do not care for the administration suitable to the fullness of Christ dares to talk and walk as if God is not interested in the vindication of His Name. This is what true overcoming is all about.

THE GREATEST MOMENT OF DEFEAT IS INTRODUCED TO THE CHURCH WHEN IT DECIDES TO REDEFINE THE CONCEPT OF OVERCOMING. The overthrow of the church is complete when it gives itself to an overcoming intended to save from the full impact of Kadesh.

THE BABYLONIAN OVERCOMING NEVER INTENDS TO CUT OFF THE EVIL AT ITS ROOT. It never moves all the way in allowing God the full rights to life and belongings. The "I" is always left untouched on the throne to decide what God can have and what He may do. The overcoming, which is stained by the Amorite touch, leaves the cross behind. It is seen as an escape route bringing pressure to lowest impact level and taking pleasure to its maximum.

Kadesh-Barnea is first and foremost a spiritual necessity in the realm of the shadow of the Amorites, among those who lay hold of the promises for the sake of spiritual indolence. Kadesh-Barnea takes its people to a place of maturity and it takes hard work to get there. Kadesh brings in a spiritual state of stature resulting in practical priestly ministry. It leaves its trademark wherever greater measure fullness is needed.

THE OVERCOMER IS A PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO LEARN TO STEP ASIDE. It takes effort to allow oneself to be removed from the center of events, to be reduced in importance. The overcomer turns his rights over to the Lord… "He never claims or demands. He shuns the ways and principles of the world."

OVERCOMING WILL NEVER BE ACHIEVED THROUGH MEANS OF PSYCHOLOGY OR THE MANIPULATIVE TWISTS AND TURNS HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM IN THE MARKET PLACE. It has nothing to do with the improvement of what is, but it is totally dedicated to an apprehending of a full measure of what the cross holds in store. The overcomer tilts the balance of power. His own bowl emptied for the sake of a full measure of the presence of the Lord. The overcomer is fully pleased with this order of things, the presence of a Kadesh-Barnea, a total impact of the Holy Spirit unto emptying for the sake of the fullness of Christ; a full and carefully undertaken work of the Holy Spirit unto heavenly stature and maturity.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AT KADESH-BARNEA,
THEIRS WILL BE A WALK TOWARD FULLNESS IN CHRIST.

BLESSED ARE THESE OVERCOMERS,
THE POOR IN SPIRIT,
FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

NOW IS THE TIME I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP

Dear Friend of the Savior,

I am passing on to you a truly crucial and what I ever so tenderly discern, is a truthful word from the Lord in this time of preparation and continued shaking of the religious and self-built empires of man.

I humbly ask especially the men in the Body of Christ who read this prophetic exhortation, to allow the Lord to walk the hidden and wounded areas of your hearts and to "hear" Him through this word.

If the potentially up-and-coming leaders of the next apostolic surge of fathering and mothering do not have loving and nurturing qualities actively at work in their own marriages, as well as provisional and protective measures in position, how will there ever be a breakaway from the past religious bondages and a release into fresh places of purity and integral service?

How will another generation of incubating leaders ever move to higher dimensions of integrity and release if those attempting to lead them still walk in self centered "navel gazing?"

Please...risk the loving warnings and correcting, as well as encouragement of the Lord, and read the following visionary insight from a seasoned voice in the body of Christ.

In His Shadow,

NOW IS THE TIME I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP

"When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth." 1 Cor 5:4-8

NOW IS THE TIME - I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP.

THERE ARE MANY OF MY OWN WHO ARE BOASTERS OF YOUR OWN SELVES, HAVING A SUPERIOR ATTITUDE OF WHO YOU ARE.

You claim the Name of Jesus but you claim it as a special privilege to set yourselves above others. You claim His Name in expecting special favor, special protection and special privilege while subtly you trample down what My Son did for ALL !!! You minister to people in My Name but spend more time talking about yourselves and your accomplishments than you do of the Name of Jesus and what HE can truly do in a person's life.

HUSBANDS, YOU MISTREAT YOUR WIVES WHILE ELEVATING OTHERS ABOVE THEM AND YOU DARE TO EXPECT ME TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS AND TO BLESS YOU IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS. Husbands who say, “Lord, I am not into physical adultery!”… but you exhibit spiritual adultery in your heart and words. Slavery, in fact you treat your wives and other women as a type of slave... you have backed them into a corner and in many cases the church is helping you keep them there.

This is an indicator of a much deeper problem, the arrogance and pride of man spilling over in your life and your actions while claiming to be Mine. Arrogance and pride in who you are and what “you believe” is robbing you of who you are to be In Christ. There is only one way back, to re-order your life in the ways of your heavenly Father. I will not and I cannot bless a man or a church who mistreats any of My daughters. Such pride and arrogance in self I will tolerate no longer.

I HAVE SENT MANY WARNINGS YOUR WAY, MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS BUT STILL MANY COMPROMISE - WHILE SAYING YOU PUT ME FIRST.

You have deceived yourself as thinking you are wise but it is wisdom by the standards of this age , but your Lord knows and the thoughts of the wise are futile. You boast of what you know and that you can't possibly be in any error of what you believe. You continue to believe you shall walk in My power in the times to come and that you will have My protection.

YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF FIRST IN ALL THAT YOU SAY OR DO and through the steps you have taken you have sought your own power but the results will be to your own peril. You have prepared, though you will disagree even now, 'in the flesh' and you will reap both trouble in the flesh 'and' in the spirit.

YOU HAVE STOOD PROCLAIMING TO BE A CHRISTIAN WHILE YOUR HEART IS FAR FROM IT. You have worshipped your own beliefs and you stand in control of your own destiny while giving lip service to Me. I AM shall not be mocked! Yes, I have been long suffering but the time has come for Me to step in and set things right. I have asked you to submit to Me in all things but your arrogance in what you believe, even now closes your ears for you to hear....

YOU PROCLAIM YOU LIFT THE CROSS OF JESUS HIGH IN ALL THAT YOU SAY OR DO. Yet you judge and approve of barriers and divisions between peoples and nations. You judge others rather than seeing each person as someone for whom Jesus died and promised to draw unto Himself. You claim to be His but you use the cross more as a club of submission when you should be using it as drawing people to reconciliation.

I AM THAT I AM.... HAVE I NOT SAID THAT JUDGMENT BEGINS WITH MY OWN? You think because you have continued unchecked that my judgment shall not come to you.I have spoken over and over and over again, in warning but you have continued on your own path of destruction.

YOU HAVE PERSISTED IN BRINGING OTHERS LOW
while elevating yourself and you have come to a point in your own mind that you cannot possibly accept this as being true of yourself. You had a slot in time for true repentance but now you have crossed over in your own arrogance and self righteousness. Did you really believe that I would not lift My protection from upon you? Even now, most will not see, even now you will proclaim that you speak My words of truth, but the truth is 'you' are in control of your own words and actions but Beloved, the I AM is and always will be.... In Control!!!!

EVEN NOW, I SAY AGAIN, YOU MUST BE HOLY AS I AM HOLY,
you have heard Me say this before and once again I speak for you to either follow Me according to My Word or you will not be with Me at all. Yet most, even now will continue to be blinded to what you are doing - but a few, I say a few will allow My Words to penetrate your heart and repent and truly follow me in all My ways and you will be part of My greatest move that is about to spring on the world.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOU WHO STILL DO NOT SEEK TO "SEE", DESPITE ALL OF MY WARNINGS AND TRULY CHANGE YOUR WAYS, YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO ONE OF TWO ACTIONS.... For some, I will take you home before you can ostracize yourself completely from me. For some, My protection will leave you and you will be handed over to Satan so the sinful nature may be destroyed so that your spirit may be saved on the "Day of the Lord."

YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF FIRST IN ALL THAT YOU SAY OR DO and I must take action for My Name's Sake. Yes, I shall be hard on you but it is for the ultimate end of your true and complete return to Me. This is a final wake-up call, there is no time to waste for I AM moving and I AM moving speedily!

"In the time of My favor, I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." 2 COR 6:2

NOW, I WILL TURN TO THOSE WHO ARE TRULY SERVING ME IN TRUTH AND THEY WILL HAVE MY PROTECTION IN THE DARK TIMES TO COME.

I will free them from the current snares and circumstances they have been living under and from those whose ultimate motive has been to rule over them. Yes, I shall now bring complete freedom to those who others have sought to bring low for they have been prepared by My hand and will stand wholly before Me.

These are called by My Name and you shall stand triumphant in the midst of all to come. To you, My Beloved, I AM instilling a Spirit of Peace and My Spirit of Peace shall lead you from this day forward.
I said I would band you together, that was My promise to you and I will do as I have promised. Even now I have placed some of you together and more will be added unto you.

YOU SHALL WALK IN WHAT I HAVE ORDAINED FOR YOU AND YOU WILL NOT COMPROMISE MY WORD IN ANY WAY BUT WALK IN A TRUE SPIRIT OF HUMILITY AND LOVE.

You, My Beloved, shall stand in My love and in My truth and I shall raise you up victorious "by Myself" for you have listened to your Heavenly Father even when being held down by your circumstances. You place Me before all, even your own ambitions and desires, now you will see Me move amongst you and you shall go forth in My Name as My light unto the world while seeing all of My promises to you come to past and receiving blessings beyond what you can contain.

HEAR ME NOW: "DO NOT FRET YOURSELVES ANY LONGER BECAUSE OF THE WORKERS OF VICE, FOR THEY SHALL BE CUT OFF." It is because of the Rock of Conviction, Jesus the Christ, that I AM is with you and In you and I say to you SURELY the gates of hell shall not prevail !!!

SOME WILL SEE ME GEOGRAPHICALLY MOVE THEM IN A TWINKLING OF AN EYE.... Some will see My blessings surround them and they will be astounded.... Some will see the places of refuge in which I am giving to their trust - raised up in a day....

EVERY ONE OF MY FAITHFUL ONES WILL EXPERIENCE THE MIRACULOUS WHICH WILL CATAPULT THEM INTO THEIR DESTINY..... I tell you, Now is the time of My favor! Now is the day of salvation ! Now is the time for your to rejoice for you will see the salvation of your Lord in every area of your life.

NOW IS THE TIME - I SHALL BRING LOW AND I SHALL LIFT UP !!!
