I know that it’s so hard for you to do the work of crucifying the flesh, sometimes it is harder than others and I want you to know that I see you my child.
I know how hard this is for you.
I know that the season that you are in is one that has you waiting on me.
Hoping in me instead of hoping in yourself is really hard but I am here with you inviting you to trust me and I am never leaving you or forsaking you.
I am in this with you and I am doing a new thing in you. Sometimes new things take time.
But rest in the reality that I have you and the more of you you choose to shed the more of me will get to live in and through you. And then the more of my “goodness in the land of the living” you will experience. It is by seeking FIRST my kingdom and my righteousness that everything else is added unto you not the other way around, though the enemy would have you believe the lie that it is the opposite.
Listen to me, the fear of the Lord is so far out of style in the church but I am bringing it back to my people and asking you to shed your complacency.
My people are going walk in a season of awe and wonder, if they have eyes to see it and hearts that perceive it. This is going to require you to reorder your priorities. I tell my secrets to my friends. Are you willing to be a friend of mine at the expense of losing friendship with the world?
Do not be afraid of the reordering of priorities that I am calling you to. Prioritize me and my kingdom and my righteousness and I will add everything else to you. I promise you I am a better friend then the world will ever be even though the enemy tempts you to think thats not true.
Let me reorder all that is in your life, give it all to me and bring it all under my Lordship, this simple act of consecration is so beautiful to me and so powerful for you.
This in this season it is not a time to look to the right or to the left to see what others in the world are doing or to care what they think or say.
It is a time to look at my face knowing that it is in my presence that there is fullness of joy.
In the presence of the world is shame confusion and falling back and losing the ground that I am causing you to gain and then discouragement sets in. This discouragement a lier, don’t listen, keep going. You are saved by grace through faith, not by your perfection.
My child I love you. I am for you and in me there is no falsehood.
That cannot be said about any human, only me.
Look to me my love, I will make your way straight, I will guard you and your family.
I will guide you and I will uphold you with my righteous right hand and I will deliver you by the blood of my son Jesus.
There is much to learn about how to seek me with your whole heart and how to walk in power and authority and I am going to teach you.
Do not worry, I am patient and you have only to keep your eyes on me.
Live a life of confession of sins and profession of your faith in me and trust that to make you clean. It is by my stripes you are healed in every way and nothing else.
There is nothing you or anyone else can do to take away from this reality or from the power of my gospel. There is also nothing you can do to add to it, it is and always will be the stringiest force on earth, period.
Our job is to get every thing out of the way that blocks you form the understanding of the truth of that.
I am a jealous God, don’t have any other Gods before me, cast down every idol and let me love you.
