"WHAT I WILL TEACH YOU IN THE DAYS AHEAD"

 A Prophetic Word by the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow

Have you noticed that there are so very many voices in the world today claiming great insight and wisdom?

What I will teach you in the days ahead will instruct you in the way you should carefully and yes, even cautiously lead your life! 

Listen, and it will keep you on My sharp advantage.

 
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."

Psalm 32:8

 So many are gobbling up heady information from the voices of humanistic thought. Most of it is void of any real lasting wisdom. Many of my best prophets and teachers began to mix worldly thought with My Word and ended up diluting the power of their calling.

The power you long to see manifesting in your ministry settings only comes from getting clear and perfect instruction from My word. Dabble in intellectual study and you will appear “wise in the eyes of men,” but from My heavenly library of wisdom, you are viewed as shallow and pompous.

 "Guard what has been entrusted to your care.

Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas

of what is falsely called knowledge."

1 Timothy 6:20

 I want to demonstrate My instructions!

I will back up every teaching I have given to you with signs and miracles.

Sit at My feet and receive instruction.

Just like Mary did.

It will not be taken from you.

LET THEM SING FOR JOY ON THEIR BEDS

 "Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honor. 

Let them sing with joy even when they are lying in bed."

Psalm 149:5

I give you many things to speak out to My kingdom children.

Often, the insights seem simple.

I don’t ask you to figure out the reasons or the styles that I have you deliver words for Me. Just deliver them the way I ask, and when you have finished the delivery, wait for your next assignment!

Lay down for a time of rest, refilling, and rejoicing!

You must remember to re-fuel your body, soul and spirit!

Rest your body after giving out in ministry times! Quiet your mind with peaceful adoration and thanksgiving for all we accomplished together in caring for My people! Build your spirit man up by praying in the language of heaven!

"For anyone who enters God’s rest 

also rests from their works,

just as God did from his."

Hebrews 4:10

You will be reinforced and ready to impart and instruct with my fresh anointing and a heart filled with joy!

THE UNIVERSE DECLARES MY MAJESTY!

 Everything in heaven and on earth was created to declare My majesty! 

The stars were created to radiate and twinkle My message of reflecting the light that flows from heaven! From the Father of Light!

In Him there are no shadows or darkness. 

Every planet orbits in a musical rhythm!

Each planet following it’s own unique pathway of perfect balance in Me!

I hold the universe in the palm of My hand!

"When I consider your heavens, 
the work of your fingers, 
the moon and the stars, 
  

which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, 


human beings that you care for them?"

Psalm 8:3-4

Everything I have formed and breathed upon has a declaration to make!

I Am the God of Wonder and Majesty!

If I hold the entire balance of hundreds of stars and galaxies beyond the one you live in, why would you fear that your life is not “orbiting” around my “Son” and His light just as I planned it?

I have everything for your life totally in motion NOW!

You may not see it but the course I have you on will bring promotion in the right “orbit”!

STOP TRYING TO PUSH AHEAD

 Instead. Declare My majesty!

Prophesy to the winds! Let you words go out as containers of life, seeking out souls!  Those words will not return to you empty!

They will return full of My wonder and My majesty!

“So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; 

It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, 

And without succeeding {in the matter} for which I sent it.” ~Isaiah. 55:11

THE “SECRET THINGS” OF PERSONAL RENEWAL

THE “SECRET THINGS” OF PERSONAL RENEWAL
By Mary Lindow

To listen to the free Messenger Podcast go to:


www.gcast.com/u/MaryLindow/main

I invite you to step out from the familiar comfort zone in which you now
are and take a risk.
In the body of Christ today there are many different kinds of comfort
zones. Step out from your comfort zone that leaves you in the place of
being a “Fallow ground- Christian.”
What I mean by that statement is – “being currently inactive but with the
possibility of activity or use in the future.”

THINK HONESTLY.

Are you living as unto yourself, basking in self-approval or self hatred, or
are you self-consciously living for God’s glory and for the encouragement
of others?

Is there joy in your life, and a deeply developing love for God, in the
“routine” you have carved for yourself?

We all need the discipline of doing something that goes beyond our
comfort zone. Some of us need to risk being at an event whose only
purpose is to pray instead of going to get something or hear something
that will feed our own need for more attention and self-focus.

How many times have your heard the line, “If I won the Publisher’s Clearing
House Sweepstakes, I would do sooooo much to help others who are poor
or are going through difficult times?!” Or, maybe you have said, “When I
close this business deal, get my family inheritance, sell that piece of
property (uh…brings to mind a certain Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 5)
then I will obey the prompting of the Lord to “Do something to help.”

If we are truly going have a move of God’s Heart not just His Hand in the
form of a “Harvest” we need to start living the lifestyle that sets a
precedence for such a move! Meaning? Prying our fingers away from what
we will not share with others until “we” are first satisfied and justified in
our own “Self preservation.” This does not just apply to material goods. It
means sharing from the heart humbly, partaking openly with others
allowing them in, and allowing tears to flow in vulnerability. These make
us equals in painful times and equal when we rejoice.

If folks can’t share during their good times and seasons of abundance,
they will not fully obey the Lord in caring for their brothers and sisters
when times are difficult.

SHARE WHAT?

Time, resources, wisdom, counsel, transparent dialog. And how about a
focused “Listening ear” instead of a benevolent sort of “tolerant” dead-pan
stare as someone pours out their deeply bruised soul, looking for a
handhold or foothold that will assist them in grappling with the
overwhelming “mountain” of life.

…For the LORD searches every heart
and understands every motive behind the thoughts.
If you seek him, you will find him;
but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
1 Chronicles 28:9

Woe to those who think they are fooling themselves when they say that
they “need to be careful” when they give so people don’t “depend on them
or expect more from them!

Imagine Jesus saying that! He would never withhold from us in order to
protect “His” investments or hard earned, worked to the bone assets! He
gave ALL with no guarantee that we would ever appreciate or value it.

Invite another family or friend to your home. Don’t wait to be invited. Take
the initiative. Eat together around the table in your dining room or kitchen.
Talk together. Pray together. Start a plan of blessing someone in need that
you know of - together.

DO YOU HEAR VOICES?

Stop the mindless chattering that is allowed in most of our self-talking
heads that allows the flesh to push aside the promptings of the Lord!
Times are getting tough, and those who have been reluctant to share when
the times were not nearly where they are heading now, will be called up for
service again, and asked by the Lord to assist those who
are perhaps weaker, lesser, and much “leaner” in their provisions.

Start with something small, something useful. Keep it going. And whatever
you do, keep it between you and the Lord, where your reward is given
weight in the records in heaven for eternity, not just for a few fleeting
strokes of the ego here on earth.

THE “PRIVATE THINGS” OF PERSONAL RENEWAL EXPOSED!

Begin a private life of personal devotion. Rediscover your prayer closet.

”Very early in the morning, while it was still dark,
Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place,
where he prayed.”
Mark 1:35

Gut it out with God. Confess your dissatisfaction with the stale places
where you have allowed “moss” to grow over in your devotion to the
discipline of Reading the words of Jesus, Heeding the words of Jesus, and
then Feeding the Words of Jesus to the hungry, lost, and scared people
around you in your daily “Missionary calling” as a follower of the Great
Reviver of your soul.

Isaiah 57:15
For this is what the high and lofty One says—
He who lives forever, whose name is holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”

Personal revival is usually needed when something in our walk with the
Savior has gone into a “Flat line” and needs to be shocked back into a
proper heartbeat.

The closer we become devoted to and more intimate with The King, the
Comforter, and Savior, the more near He is to us and, will reveal His daily
“Divine Appointments” for our lives and for His Glory.

If Jesus did it to survive- so must we!

But Jesus would often go to some place where he could be alone and pray.
Luke 5:16

We NEED to be alone. Why? In order to not have the distraction of leaning
on someone else to “do the praying or talking” for us for one! We gain
perspective, and refreshing after repenting, and a “reality check” regarding
how we are to live the lifestyle of a Christian in an ever-darkening world
where morals and values are crumbling at an uncontrollable speed.

LET US SEE AND HEAR AND ACT!

As we face the fallow ground left unfruitful (through intentional denial that
we allowed this) in our lives and allow the Father to create a clean heart in
us, and renew or “Revive” a right spirit (godly attitude) within it, the soil
can be a host for seed and harvest.

He gladly does this! WE are His faith seeds in the soil of Earth!

Psalm 126:6
”He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.”

”He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”
Psalm 23:3

WISDOM FROM THE SPIRIT

If you want present day revelation, you must have a level of solid Christian
maturity to not only discern it, but to apply it. There are more and more
”Muddy” approaches regarding how to be wise or savvy in living your life,
being sold in bookstores and every media venue out there! If you want to
drink or eat re-cycled food…well, be my guest. BUT! If you truly desire
depth and a secure anchor for surviving and flourishing in any
circumstance that you surely will have attempt to sidetrack and undermine
your Godly Destiny, you and I will have to go to THE SOURCE of Wisdom
and stay there until we “Get it.”

1 Corinthians 2:6
”We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,
but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing.”

”But solid food is for the mature,
”which by constant use have trained themselves
”to distinguish good from evil.”
Hebrews 5:14

GIVE JESUS JOY

Romans 12:12
”Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

These are the attributes of the faithful and true follower of Christ. And as
Jesus watches over our coming and our going, every moment of every day,
His joy is made complete when He sees the evidence of a restored life
being fruitful and steadfast, no matter what the condition of their
circumstance or surroundings.

Believer. Let us press on into the walk of maturity in Christ where nothing
shakes or shatters us anymore, because we live in the light of His Glorious
Grace.

Ephesians 1:6 (New Living Translation)
”So we praise God for the glorious grace
he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.”

QUOTE FORM OSWALD CHAMBERS~

”Whenever we are obstinate and self-willed and set upon our own
ambitions, we are hurting Jesus. Every time we stand on our rights and
insist that this is what we intend to do, we are persecuting Jesus. Whenever
we stand on our dignity we systematically vex and grieve His Spirit; and
when the knowledge comes home that it is Jesus Whom we have been
persecuting all the time, it is the most crushing revelation there could be.”

FINDING THE FAITHFUL- “ELEGANT SIMPLICITY”

By Mary Lindow

There is no way to explain or express the absolute joy of ministering in a place where
the presence of the Holy Spirit is allowed full access and expression among those
who are attending.

Less than a week ago I had the delight and honor to be in such a place.
Mind you, I have been there before and have built loving relationships with
many in this location.

A NEW CAST OF COLOR, A FRESH EXPRESSION
As we see the Lord changing the canvas and broadening the expression of His
kingdom, things have begun to take on a new cast of color, a fresh expression,
a purity that only those who have done the things that He has requested in their
personal lives understand.

A TRUE DAVID’S HEART IN WORSHIP
In this place where I recently visited, there is what I would call the expression of a
true David’s heart in worship. Every individual involved in creating an atmosphere
for the presence of God to inhabit was fully engaged in honoring and bringing joy to
the heart of the Father. Privately and Personally, Corporately and Individually.

David and the whole house were celebrating with all their might before the LORD,
with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.
2 Samuel 6:5

There was no flashy presentation, no low cut blouses, no “grooviness” or need to
ramp up the crowd. Oh no! The hearts were ready for full personal involvement with
honoring and adoring the “One”.

Yes. There had probably been untold hours of rehearsing and practicing each chord,
each note, each song. But it had been done with joy, and deep reverence for the
responsibility each held in bringing the body into a place of being escorted into the
presence of the King of glory.

So often, it is a let down to see the large performance and the flashiness of
attempting to impress and incite people to wake up and worship. And I mean
literally attempting to get people to “themselves” step into a place of deep
personal relationship with the Master.

“ELEGANT SIMPLICITY”
Some may think that the location of where I was might not be as nearly impressive
and highly tailored as one might assume, in order to attract and draw individuals into
such a glorious and mighty experience. But you see, that was the beauty of this
whole gathering. It was Elegant Simplicity.

The adornment was the humility and reverence of the Father, Son and Spirit.
As the Lord moved in with His Presence and Plan, little children were spontaneously
filled with the spirit and spoke out unafraid in their prayer language from heaven
. Young adults and teens were boldly risking out loud, calling on God to reveal
himself to them personally, and He did. Words of Knowledge and words of
Wisdom flowed with clarity and honor, with loving warnings and also with
validation and confirmation. Many openly repented of shutting out the voice of
God, and asked again for “fresh ears to hear.”

The young couples attending were drawn into a deeper commitment to mentor
young sheep in the flock they are a part of, and many of these couples asked
the Father to deepen their commitment to prayer with each other.

Prodigals came to an additional service that was unplanned and spontaneous.
And again, Father met them face to face, After all, He had been waiting,
patiently on the road, watching for their return.

A GENTLE AND UNFETTERED “LIFTING OF THE SAILS”
I have seen in the past few weeks, a gentle and unfettered “lifting of the sails”
in many people’s lives that have been struggling, suffering and agonizing.
It is as if Father has said to them (and maybe you too!).”Lift up your sails again.
Tattered or not, lift them!!
Look again for the stirring of My winds and My Holy Spirit! You cannot attempt to
capture or direct this wind or you will utterly be left stalled out. Throw out the oars
of control into the waters and let Me blow you into a fresh direction.
A course yet uncharted by you or others.”

“The wind blows wherever it pleases.
You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from
or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
John 3:8

FRESH AND PASSIONATE SONGS OF WORSHIP BLOSSOMING
I have heard fresh and passionate songs of worship blossoming from many
worship servants lately. These have gorgeous and haunting melodies and words
that break stony hearts and bring repentance to those caught up in
driven performance. These melodies are the songs of the Kingdom. Rich, warm,
tasty to the soul, and food to the spirit.

YES!
THE “HARP” OF DAVID IS SOOTHING AND SINGING AGAIN IN THE EARTH.
Although the Saul spirit is still alive and well, and attempts to shame, discredit,
and mock, it shall not prevail. The Lord has called forth His Pure hearted ones from
every tribe, every tongue and nation, every age and generation. The sound is
one of Purity, Simplicity, Perseverance and honor among saints.

But an evil spirit (allowed by the Lord, due to Saul’s pride) came upon Saul as he
was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand.
While David was playing the harp.
1 Samuel 19:9

DO YOU HEAR IT TOO? DO YOU WANT THIS DIVINE BLISS?
There is a lighthouse in the wilderness in the southern part of Texas called
Markham Texas. Coffee is always ready, worship is continuously flowing,
discipleship is constant, and mentors are plentiful.

And…
…Forgiveness…reigns.

From Infants to Grandparents there was a wonderful mixture of life, organized chaos,
and abundant sharing. It was a joy, a gift, a treasure, to minister among these dear
ones all of last week.

Perhaps you too might want to visit and bask in this place of love a day or two?

If so… here is an email address to contact them.

cotr@ykc.com

NO AGENDAS ALLOWED
And by the way…

… They have excellent wolves in sheep’s clothing “Spotters” or “Gatekeepers”.
No agendas allowed when you enter the doors. Only hungry and humble hearts
last in this place of God’s Oasis.. This Glorious Wilderness Place.

"Watch out for false prophets
. They come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
Matthew 7:15

“GOD’S OASIS”
If you would like to know where these might be, please feel free to email,
and perhaps one is nearby where you live

. I have included a recording if you listen to the podcast version of this message

"POISONING THE MISSION FIELD OF THE KINGDOM"

Mary Lindow

It is really rather amazing that any of us are ever really useful the Lord
when we begin to examine the "secret sins" that are active in our lives,
sometimes in our ministries, and in the way the bride of the King has
presented herself.

HEAR THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT WITH YOUR SPIRIT FIRST...
...THEN WITH YOUR MIND.

I say this because if not discerned and embraced by the spirit first…
...the soul will immediately defend itself and bluster and spit in shock that
anyone might imply that is has the stated problem!

"ARROGANCE IS A DISEASE THAT MAKES EVERYONE SICK...
... EXCEPT THE ONE WHO HAS IT!"

IN THIS MODERN AGE OF, "IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU BABY"
… …ARROGANCE IS ALMOST APPLAUDED AS A SUPER TALENT TO SUCCESS!

Politicians boast of their greatness to lead, TV personalities shred other
individuals on live Programs and, sadly, many who have claimed to be
"servants" of the Lord have competed, slandered, and have positioned
themselves as "the most recent cutting edge" in ministry!
Little people…get out of the way!

REMEMBER! EVEN THE DISCIPLE PETER HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE!
He presumed to tell the Lord what would never happen in His ministry!
The actual crucifixion!

EVEN THE RICH YOUNG RULER, WHO APPEARED TO BE A GENTEEL AND
HONORING INDIVIDUAL WAS ARROGANT enough to think that he could
travel with Jesus and gain further stature without having to lay down all of
his own well-earned endowments!

He actually thought that having obeyed the commandments since he was
a small child and being good would be the way to keep his wealth and
cushy lifestyle! This is the subtle disease of arrogance! He didn't think he
had it! In fact…he might have thought that his financial settings would
endear him to Jesus and the twelve disciples because he could provide a
more comfortable lifestyle for all of them while they ministered.

Oh! He went away sad, but not broken. He was sad that he had to choose
between his rich and public securities and…a humble life with Jesus.
Matthew (19)

LISTEN TO WHAT THE LORD PROPHESIED TO US IN ISAIAH
ABOUT THE VERY SAME ISSUE.

And the word of One will go forth, "Cast up, cast up (to throw something
away from yourself, usually with force) Prepare the way! Take up the
stumbling block out of the way of the spiritual return of My people."

For this is what The High and Almighty One has to say—
He Who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy:

"I dwell in the high and holy place, but I also dwell with him who is of a
thoroughly penitent and humble spirit, to revive, to reawaken the spirit of
the humble and to reinstate the heart of the thoroughly broken bruised
with sorrow for their sin."
Isaiah 57:14-15

HERE ARE SOME THESAURUS AND DICTIONARY DESCRIPTIONS
OF THE WORD ARROGANCE:

ARROGANCE:
The act or habit of making uncalled-for claims in an overbearing manner;
that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity,
estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the
person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; lordliness; haughtiness

ARROGANT:
High-handed, disdainful, haughty, high-and-mighty, insolent, lordly,
overbearing, condescending, superior example

: RELATED WORDS: domineering, bossy, dictatorial; exaggerated, false,
highfalutin, assumed, ostentatious

IDIOM: too big for one's britches

IF WE ARE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WE ARE TO BE HUMBLE
and fully aware of our need for daily brokenness and a deep daily need for
re- consecration of our reasons to follow Jesus.

THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE TO REFLECT HUMILITY.

IN REGARD TO SATAN'S KINGDOM,
HE IS SAID TO BE A 'KING OVER ALL THE CHILDREN OF PRIDE.'

Proverbs 21
24-Mockers are proud and haughty; they act with boundless arrogance.

WE CANNOT ARROGANTLY ASSUME THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN USED MIGHTILY FOR
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN SIGNS AND WONDERS, PROPHETIC UTTERANCES, SPEAKING TO MULTITUDES,
GIVERS OF ABUNDANT SUMS, OR HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK - THAT WE HAVE A SPECIAL RIGHT TO BE
HONORED OR A RIGHT TO HAVE OTHERS "LISTEN UP" AND HEAR WHAT WE HAVE TO IMPART!

WE MUST DECREASE, AND HE …THE ONE…
THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS NO ARROGANCE…MUST INCREASE.

LOOK! NOBODY'S TEACHINGS OR PRACTICES ARE BEYOND BIBLICAL JUDGMENT —
ESPECIALLY INFLUENTIAL LEADERS.

Biblically, authority and accountability go hand in hand. (e.g., Luke 12:48)
The greater the responsibility one holds, the greater the accountability one has before
God and His people.

TEACHERS SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO MISLEAD ANY BELIEVER,
for their calling carries with it a strict judgment (James 3:1).
They should therefore be grateful when sincere Christians take the time
to question them about the teaching and yes, even possibly bring
correction to correct whatever unsound doctrine they may be preaching.
And should the criticisms be groundless they should respond in the
manner prearranged by Scripture: to correct misguided doctrinal
opposition with GENTLE instruction (2 Tim. 2:25).

THERE IS OF COURSE ANOTHER SIDE TO THIS ISSUE:

CRITICISM OFTEN CAN BE SINFUL,
leading to rebellion and unnecessary division. Christians should respect the
leaders that God has given them (Heb. 13:17).
Theirs is the task of assisting the church in its spiritual growth and doctrinal understanding (Eph. 4:11-16).

At the same time believers should be aware that false teachers will arise among
the Christian fold (Acts 20:28; 2 Pet. 2:1).

This makes it very important for us to test all things by Scripture, as the Bereans
were highly praised for doing when they examined the words of the apostle Paul
(Acts 17:11)

PRAY THIS SIMPLE PRAYER WITH ME WON'T YOU?
“Lord, help all of us as your servants to keep the subtle disease of
arrogance and it's influences, far from us. Teach us oh precious king how
to model apostolic mercy, pastoral humility, and open repentance before
those whom we instruct and serve in your kingdom.” AMEN

"ARROGANCE"
Vanity of vanities!
Why put on with foolish pride an illusion of soul's lust?
Why make yourself a statue of gold
When you're only made of dust? - Author unknown

Proverbs 9:9

Led by the Father - “THIS THING HE IS DOING!”

Led by the Father - “THIS THING HE IS DOING!”
by Mary Lindow

ALL OF US ARE INDIVIDUALLY SOMEHOW BEING LED BY THE FATHER...

...INTO OPERATIONS OF THE HEART.


He is testing us deeply to see if we long for any power from the pull of glory, revelation, or any spiritual insights.

I TRULY SEE HIM TESTING US ALL IN DEEPER REGIONS OF OUR SOULS THAN WE EVER DREAMED EXISTED.

THIS THING HE IS DOING!
It is a precision operation that "lasers" away everything fraudulent, empty, and embellished! He is driving us lovingly to simplicity, loyalty, and Divine purposes. None of which we can achieve or fathom with our talents, educations, skills, or wit!

The Lord longs to show you His favor.
He wants to give you His tender love.
The Lord is a God who is always fair.
Blessed are all those who wait for Him to act.
Isaiah 30:18 (NIRV)

DETERMINED TO PURSUE IN OBEDIENCE
When we are determined to pursue in obedience a true faith in Christ, we will encounter those things of the soul that can so easily get us off of the track that we are attempting to run on in order to collect the crown of victory! The things that so easily overwhelm us are those we tend to be affected by. Usually it is something that we have struggles with or have been exposed to, from habits, age, or upbringing.

THIS IS A MOST IMPORTANT WARNING ABOUT DEALING WITH THOSE "PAINFUL WOUNDS" AND "DEEP LOSSES"!
They will attempt to take from us every motive for moving forward, and gives power and energy to every discouragement. When we are weary and faint in our minds, let us remember that Jesus suffered, to save us from eternal misery.

BY INTENTIONALLY LOOKING TO JESUS,
Our thoughts will be strengthened by holy affections, and keep our self loving desires in a place of intensified focus on the Presence of the Lord. We need to habitually think about Him! What are our little trials to his agonies, or even to our deserts? What are they to the sufferings of many others?

THERE IS A TENDENCY IN US AS BELIEVERS TO GROW WEARY,
and to collapse under trials and afflictions. This is because we still need to understand the mercy and full power of that thing called "grace." We are not built for a filthy world and the pressures of hellish spewing. We were created for adoration, worship and resting in the Presence of God and then, with Godly strength, to subdue the earth. But Hell is roaring it's ugly breath and venom on the earth, attempting to paralyze the believer, robbing him of Faith, Hope and Love!

Psalm 25:21
May integrity and uprightness protect me,
Because my hope is in you.

WE AS FOLLOWERS OF THE LORD OF GRACE
must come to understand that trials and yes…even accusations from enemies and persecutors may be instruments to inflict sufferings, yet they are Divinely Allowed! Our heavenly Father has His hand in all of this and His wisdom will give a final answer to all of this "sifting of out souls!"


THE OPPOSITE OF BRAVERY IS NOT COWARDICE…
…BUT CONFORMITY. ~Robert Anthony


WE MUST NOT JUST GIVE IN TO A FATALISTIC GLOOM!
That horrid oppressiveness where we feel that no help or hope is coming to free us! God may let others remain alone in their sins, but He WILL correct wrongdoing in his own children. This is what a Father would do to a stubborn or gloomy child, who mopes around in a moodiness accompanied by a big black rain cloud! Perhaps your earthly parents corrected you to indulge their anger, rather than to change your manners. But the Father of our souls never eagerly hurts or brings down His children. It is always for our benefit.

OUR WHOLE LIFE HERE IS A POSITION OF CHILDHOOD,
and we are imperfect when it comes to fully understanding spiritual things.
That is why we must we must yield- and in a real sense, "give in" to this place of loving care and preparation.

GOD'S CORRECTION IS NOT DISAPPROVAL!
When we are willing to let God walk the secret hallways of our soul and humbly allow Him to shine the light of purity and truth on all of our opinions about how things should be done in His Kingdom, this brokenness and self-exposure greatly increases personal purity!

THE CALLOUSNESS AND MEANNESS OF MEN
May we learn to trust that the pain brought on us by the callousness and meanness of men, is actually an instrument the Lord allows to show us that no one can be depended upon fully in this world. He is the Ultimate Source of Hope. This is so important for our weariness and is sent by our wise and gracious Father, for our spiritual good and maturing.

THOSE WHO HAVE NOT WALKED WHERE YOU HAVE WALKED
will have heaps of suggestions and tidbits suggesting as to what you need to do. Imagine dear Jesus, having been stripped of heavenly riches, coming here to earth, and then to be spat upon, beaten laughed at and murdered. The advice of many was to have Him rise up and prove himself right and righteous.

He did.

He suffered in the Garden, wrestling with the trauma he knew that would only get worse. And He then suffered the loss of even the last final physical bit of ownership He had by having even his clothing gambled away by his murderers.

OH YES DEAR CHILD OF GOD! HE DOES KNOW OUR SORROWS-
and pains and He will not flippantly give you an intolerant glance when you need comfort. His Mercy is one that endures with us, forever.

THE CLAMOR AND ROAR OF NOISE THAT MAN MAKES
when he needs to make a point, often exposes his weaknesses as well. All the more reason we need to be certain that we are listening to the calm, sure, still, small Voice of God. He will give us safety and direction in the most terrifying of times and in each business decision, each child's life in your care, and in each destiny point you are facing.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.

“He who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how He did it.
Because He never lost sight of where He was headed--that exhilarating finish in and with God.
He could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever.
And now He's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.”
Hebrews 12:2 (The Message)
