God’s plan
7-31-08
Man wants Me to send My power and work My magnificent gifts, the ones that show My glory. I hear this prayer more often than any other, and that it is said by Man that this will turn the heads of the whole world to Me, and therefore to salvation. Yes, I do show My great works to Man. I give evidence physically of what I am, and what I do shows that I exist. But this is not what brings men to salvation, and those who witness My power do not always follow My Son.
I have always had a plan. It was to show Myself through My Son, Jesus. As part of that plan, He shows Himself through His brethren, the Church. It is One Body, Jesus being the head of the Body. And it is the actions of the Body that show the world the Father. For it was the Father’s works that the Son saw, and did on the earth.
My Son told His disciples that the world would know they were His by their love for one another. This is what knits the body together. Faith works through love and where there is no love faith dies also. It becomes like a robot, this church without love, doing works for the sake of doing works. Their preparation is all about what they do, and they have lost the identity of who they are. For some, they prefer not to find that identity in My Son, for much would be required of them.
In My plan the members of the Church would love and nurture each other. This would make them strong, and prepare them for the wondrous glory that I want to place as a crown on Her, the Bride’s head. When I send this glory, some will think that I have answered their prayers, because they have been praying for the power to do the works they think they should do to show the rest of the world I exist. But it is not so. A church whose members love and serve each other show the world that I exist. The power is a display from heaven of the authority the overcomers walk in, who have been in agreement with Me, their God. And this authority is given for the subduing of their enemy who has trompled underfoot the saints of God. It is a time of justice, that which is coming. It is not a time for little boys and girls to get excited in what magnificent things they will see. It is a time for prepared men and women, prepared by their commitment to obedience at what I speak to them, to fight and win those victories appointed to them. By My faithful ones I will place every last enemy under My feet: and the last enemy is death. Therefore these saints will raise the dead, as My Son raised the dead.
You are His body, if you obey Him. As He puts satan under His feet, so then He turns and hands all dominion to Me, His Father, placing every enemy and all power under Me that all would be One. This is the purpose of the power that is to come upon this age.
You have My Words with you, spoken holy scriptures, and written holy scriptures. Many good and wonderful things will be done. And much will also be required. Therefore it is written to watch, to be ready, to keep your garments ready and your lamp trimmed. Much is required of the generation to whom much has been given. But winning this battle is worth it. Pray to be found worthy. Blessed is he who is invited to the marriage of the Bride and the Lamb.
