Earlier today the Lord was talking to me about those who come to this website - who can view the bulletins and blogs - and He said that MANY OF YOU are trying to move ahead of God - without the price, the cost, the sacrifice that comes BEFORE YOU ARE PROMOTED. TRULY there are many levels in Him - THAT IS WHY DISCERNMENT is CRITICAL - you could read a word that proclaims, "Beloved you've made it! You've done well - you've passed the test" when in reality God has ONLY BEGUN with you - and thus you do not think you need to go further, blame things that are other than God's refinement processes - DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW CRITICAL THIS IS??? You MUST KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AT - you cannot get behind Him, you cannot get in front of Him- you cannot get out of the fires else you'll end up RIGHT BACK IN THEM until you SURRENDER. Let's say that you are experiencing SERIOUS TRIALS right now - let's say your house was swept away in a flood, or burned down in one of the wildfires.
WHY DID GOD ALLOW THIS? WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO BE THROUGH THIS? You cannot run about like someone who HAS NO FATHER - you must SEEK HIM EVEN MORE! You cannot go about making shelter arrangements and replace your goods in and of yourself - WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE? IS YOUR PEACE IN TACT? YOUR JOY? DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WITH YOUR NATURAL EYES THAT IT ONLY MATTERS WHAT GOD SEES? DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SEES FOR YOU?
People get OFFENDED when the Lord has me speak things like "This is for those who have been faithful"...beloved, HOW LONG HAVE YOU WALKED WITH HIM? HOW MUCH HAVE YOU SUFFERED? Have you truly drank His cup? Do you feel that you've suffered in equality to that which He endured as He was mocked, spit upon, scourged, beaten to mush, and crucified? Who are you to say when enough is enough? Are you even AT the place where you see these things as AN HONOR? As HUMBLING? That you are one who has been chosen? There is a HIGH PRICE - these truths have often become 'catch phrases' amongst the Christians - but have you REALLY PAID A HIGH PRICE? Did your baby get sick for a minute and you thought "YES I AM GOING THROUGH THE FIRES!" or did they get sick, you lose your job, got homeless, lost all your money and belongings, family shunned you - I mean, HOW MUCH OF A COST HAVE YOU PAID?
You need to get a paradigm shift Beloved - and STOP MEASURING - not only against yourself but against the walks of others - He will do what He needs to do IN YOUR LIFE SO THAT THERE IS NO MORE YOU, THAT YOU LOOK LIKE HIM, THAT HE CAN TRUST YOU TO GO FORTH REPRESENTING HIM FOR HIS GLORY! There really is NO YOU in that equation other than to SAY YES - but it is then HOLY SPIRIT WHO WORKS IN YOU THE DESIRE TO EVEN WANT TO SAY YES - so verily I say unto "you" - YET AGAIN - ...NOT - ABOUT - YOU.
And here is the word that was posted today via Marsha Burns on her Small Straws daily posts (below):
July 23, 2008: Beloved, you are at a critical junction in transition. If, in your restlessness and desire for change, you do not seek to be fulfilled in your relationship to Me, says the Lord, you will likely be seduced into making changes in the natural realm to satisfy your desires. It is important that you wait and take the time to become more stable at this point rather than making any rash decisions, which will likely lead to bringing leanness to your soul. Psalm 106:13-15 They soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert. And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
DEAR SWEET LORD JESUS,
LET HE WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR....

3:30 P.M. - 3:57 P.M.
P.S. AS THE LORD SPOKE THAT THIS HOUR IS CRITICAL IN WORD ABOUT GOING THROUGH THE FIRES...BELOVED THIS IS THE REAL DEAL - WE ARE HEARING HOLY SPIRIT! DO YOU EVEN CARE ENOUGH TO POST A RESPONSE OR A PRAISE UNTO YOUR JESUS??? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU ALL?????
P.P.S. And don't get bent out of shape about the "time" thing - I know believers who have walked with Him for 23 years - and who would hide the first moment trouble arose; and I then also know believers who have walked for way less in earthly years, but have surrendered so completely it accounts as more time ....IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EARTHLY TIME - It is about QUANTITY TIME WITH THE MASTER...AT HIS FEET...and ON YOUR FACE...AND IN THE FIRES OF THE KILN where you are being MADE INTO HIS IMAGE...
