The Bible tells us we are to fellowship with Christ's sufferings..to be crucified with Christ...to become less so He can become more. Even deeper, Jesus only did that which He saw the Father doing, and spoke only that which He heard the Father speaking.

If we are humble, submitted, surrendered, and obedient, after a while spent at His feet and in His presence, we then become more like Him. The more time spent=the more like Him.

We all are able to get out of our relationship with Jesus as much as we are willing to put in.

After 2000 years, one would assume or hope that there were some saints who had achieved this - of finally coming to the point that they had surrendered their lives, their mouths, their deeds...everything...so that it was Christ living through them...right?

So why is it then so hard to accept when it does happen?!?!

Why are pastors and teachers always urging the Body to attain those levels but then are shocked when someone does? Would it not stem to reason that SOME ARE THAT SUBMITTED? That God has sovereignly chosen them and then has taken over our lives for Himself?

Someone said to me the other day that no one is perfect in their walk - that we are all being changed daily. I believe that only Jesus was perfect - and I believe that we are all changed daily. But to then assume that that means that no one has attained that height -- of now doing and saying only that which they see Heaven doing and saying -- is wrong!

Once we attain that point, we can STILL CHANGE MORE, but to make it seem like people aren't even AT that place is unfair and unscriptural.

And THEN there are those who DO see it and are jealous of it. Again, the Lord is sitting RIGHT THERE WAITING FOR YOU every moment of every day - while you're chosing to watch tv instead of be with Him, or play video games instead of being with Him, or hanging with family and friends instead of chosing Him, or going out to dinner instead of being with Him. You can ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS choose HIM!

There are those who can truly say they feel they ARE doing everything right - prayer teams, worship teams, reading the word, etc etc etc. If it isn't about what you are doing with your time (and it could STILL be about "time" if those things that you are doing, while GODLY things, may not be IN HIS PERFECT WILL FOR YOU - HE may have other ideas how He wants you to spend "HIS" time), then the other things you would have to look at would include things like pride...fear...unconfessed sin (beyond apathy or not WANTING more). For there is always a reason that a person isn't deeper - EXCEPT that it is NEVER GOD'S FAULT!

For when you CHOOSE HIM and NOT the things of this world, YOU WILL BECOME MORE LIKE HIM because we become like that which we see.

It is not my fault that your relationship isn't like my relationship with Jesus. And that isn't pride, isn't a judgment or a slam on YOUR relationship with Jesus! But I am not supposed to apologize for the depth of intimacy, relationship, crucifixion I've submitted to. I praise God for all that He has done in me. It knocks me off my feet daily to think that He and I are what we are. And I STILL go up to the altar when He calls and cry out for MORE...for it will NEVER BE ENOUGH...I will never settle or be satisfied with the way things are TODAY...because there is always a greater height, a deeper depth that we can attain to. But just because YOU haven't gotten there, don't get mad at me if I HAVE. CeCe Winans sang a song penned through her via the Holy Spirit that proclaimed, "YOU DON'T KNOW THE COST OF THE OIL in MY Alabaster Box. I wouldn't trade one moment of that "cost" of surrender for anything, for the price was dear indeed. And that was the ONLY thing that "I" did...was to say "yes" every time He asked for me. But still, He is the only one who drew me TO say yes.

It isn't even about me - and yet you blame me.

Being dead to the flesh and keeping my eyes on Him, my only response to that sort of thing can now or will ever be, "God bless you".

All that He has called for me to be, ordained for me, has made me NO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD...HALLELUJAH! I don't chit chat, I don't talk about the family and the kids; if I testify it is only because He has put the words in my mouth and said, "SAY THIS UNTO THEM". My calling is so refined, so precise that I AM NOT ALLOWED to speak my own words, or do my own thing. HALLELUJAH! I don't do TV, I don't do movies; I don't have leisure time, I am barely allowed to sleep! I spend every moment of every day WITH JESUS! LISTENING to His every word. Worshipping Him. Dancing with Him. Walking with Him. Enveloped in His loving embrace. And it is GLORIOUS!

We are commanded to walk in love toward one another. If you would just ask Jesus to show you HIS heart for me (as I do when I look at each of you) then perhaps you could praise God that He can speak His wisdom, revelations, prophecies, TRUTHS through me - and have the assurance that it is ALL HIM and NO flesh, NO me. If you want more of Him, let me know and I'll encourage and mentor you (as He permits). If you don't want your walk to be 100% all Jesus-no world-no compromise - N O C O M P R O M I S E - that is between you and Jesus. (But if you tell me that and He tells me to pray and decree surrender into your heart, I will obey HIM - because it is HIS hearts desire to have ALL OF YOU)!!!

This is the life He has chosen for me. I continually asked Him for more...and He became more. He looks out through MY EYES and He speaks via MY LIPS. He has cleared my memory and mind so that I now have THE MIND OF CHRIST - my every thought is only that which He give unto me...if I recall anything it's because He wants me to remember it. He uses MY HANDS to release power and blessing and anointing and healing; He tells MY FEET which way to go. Truly I can honestly say IT IS NO LONGER I, BUT CHRIST LIVING IN ME....I am merely a submitted vessel unto Him.

And I see you the way He sees you...and I will be there in less than a heartbeat to encourage you, pray for you, prophesy to you, edify you, at His command and in His timing!

I love you with the love of Christ - which is truly more than we all can fathom...and it truly IS unfailing.

May you hunger for all that He has for you.
May you hear the cry of His heart calling out for all of you.
May you receive a fresh anointing to walk out that which He has ordained for you.
May the cry of your heart be, "I WANT MORE"
May the cry of your heart be, "HERE AM I, LORD"

Who has ears let him hear what the Spirit saith...

Spoken to His Messenger
