God's Purposes

God’s Purposes
6/22/05
My purposes are in the earth, and all creation bows to the Word of God in the sons of Man. The redeemed of the Lord are mounting up as saviors on the hills, swooping down to those in need of Me. The gifts of the Lord are in their mouths and on their hands, those who dared believe that I am greater than the circumstances encountered on earth.

I am ready to show Myself mighty, to strengthen weary hearts and heal, save and deliver. You have endured a trial of patience, waiting on your visitation. I have been working all things together for the most good of this ministry, and each member of it. For some this has meant leaving, for they would not remove the obstacles from the highway of the Lord. For others this has meant being set down lower, for they would not repent of their sin, yet were willing to serve alongside their brethren. For some this has been a birthing, and coming forth with the Word of the Lord and His ministries through them, for they were faithful during the hour of trial. Know this, that I am Faithful, and this is My name. I will uphold those who uphold My Word. I will not fail to perform My Word.

I travel throughout the earth looking for a way to bring to pass My excellence through the clay pots of Man. I endure generations who fail and procrastinate, to find those precious jewels whom I will decorate the walls with. They will keep My city safe, for they watch. All those who watch are clothed.

It is a perfect work, and nearing an end. Do not neglect the equipping of the saints. For each failure sets back the rewards of Mankind. Those who look for My promises are worthy of their reward and I will not keep them waiting. I will not lose their fervent hearts to the sickness of hope delayed. It takes passion to endure the onslaught of the enemy and persevere unto the end. I want to come to hearts that are full of passion and willing to walk in the faith once delivered to all men who would receive.

It is about what I determined before the creation of the world. I am nearing the end of My work. I am yearning for My Bride, to complete all that has come before this time. I look for those giving gifts, for I gave gifts to Man. I am looking for the Church to be clothed in the righteousness of Christ, for He died to make you righteous. I am yearning for those who listen, waiting for My voice and obeying Me. Is it all about obedience? No, it is about agreement. I seek a people who agree with Me, and live their lives accordingly. This is a life of faith. Believing you can be like Jesus; this is faith. It is not always striving to move My hand towards what you want. It is about loving the image of Christ and putting it on, forsaking the old man and walking like Jesus walked. Yes, ask. Yes, knock. Yes, believe. Do the works you see Me do. And wait. For your visitation is upon you, and My rewards are with Me.
