Men Miss Me

Men miss Me. They long for My works, those displays of power from My hands. Some remember when I healed, and the many deliverances that changed men’s lives. Others remember the great provisions and projects I did through them. It is hard for them to see so little and hear so little. So they try to change things by taking my Kingdom by faith. Is this a bad thing?

When a man has true faith, it is based on words from My mouth. I may have spoken something, or it is the written scriptures that they are believing. However, without the word from My mouth, it is not faith that they are acting upon. And this is the problem; men miss Me so much that they are speaking their own words and prophesying from their own spirits. They want Me to move so desperately that they believe with all their hearts that when they speak it, it will count as coming from My own heart, and I will move. They desire me so poignantly that they gather to have me come to their purposes, instead of coming to Mine.

Each man has a faith that requires Me to act upon what he believes, yet that is not what I call faith. Faith is a man acting upon what he believes I have said, and without his action, he does not have faith. Faith is not a man acting on what he believes apart from what I have said. Without a word from My mouth, there is not faith.

What have I desired but that Man should come stand in My presence and hear from Me? I have said that Man should live by every word that comes from My mouth. I did not tell Man to live by his own words or desires, but to come for My words and to know My heart. I am good and there is no shame in knowing Me. I am longing even more than Man for fellowship, but not of his choosing. I am longing to bring Man into My plans and purposes. To do this I must get those who are willing to to lay aside their own plans and purposes. I will not come along side people’s projects and leave my own kingdom unestablished. Even the wisest scribe in My kingdom cannot put together the way to establish My kingdom on this earth.

I am going to show My people how strong My blood is by exposing every bit of hidden darkness so that they might put it all beneath the blood. This will give them power over their accuser, the great dragon. I am going to feed them words from My mouth that they might grow large and strong in faith, standing on that by which they were meant to live. And they will traverse the edge of the pit of unbelief, remaining abreast of it and victorious, for their works will portray their surrender to the great faith I have built up in them by My words. Those who revile the spirit of Prophecy will be beneath, in the bit of unbelief. And those who hold the word of prophecy as a shield before them will do exploits.

I am enhancing My faithful with a spirit of holiness and power, declaring them to be My own. It is a time for the church to turn her eyes away from her own needs to the work I am doing. When the church overcomes their enemy the dragon, and the unbelief system known as the harlot is overthrown, then My kingdom will come onto the earth. As important as these events are for the earth, they are only the beginning of My great work, done alongside the saints who have stood in every battle, to reign with Me.

The harvest I seek to reap is from the seeds of My planting. I planted seeds for a Holy Spotless Bride, and church filled with overcomers. That is the harvest I am seeking. If Man will align himself with Me he will find that all the angels in heaven are in line with his works. But this is not a time to look after selfish accomplishments or projects of unity. For there will be only one church remaining after the cleansing, and it is the purification of the Bride that will bring her unity. Amen.
