Walk Humbly with Me
Since you
are willing to learn, I teach you and instruct you in the way you should
go. Some of the lessons will be quite
painful, but when you humble yourself in My sight, be assured that I shall lift
you up strongly and place you upon solid ground. Do not sit
under condemnation for the mere reason that you are learning wisdom, at the
cost of humility and love.
This is why
the lessons are painful. The flesh must
die to self continuously, when you walk in love as well as humility. Pride longs to rule and show itself strong.
Yet be not
deceived; love judges righteous judgment and seeks only to please Me and not
the arm of flesh. Those who are Mine
have secretly and earnestly prayed to be without spot or blemish, to be made
worthy, perfect and whole.
To be dead
to self, cleansed, purified and sanctified is to be ready to be filled to
overflowing with My power and My glory. Also
be assured that much of what is going on in the headlines is a distraction for
what is going on behind closed doors and within secret meetings.
Indeed, you
must be aware of all that is going on in the world, within your own countries,
within your own neighborhoods and within your own households. Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves,
for you are amongst wolves in the nation.
There are
enemies in the camp. As My Son knew, you
also must know the Judas’ of your day, within your own surroundings. All of My people come to times of serious
decision-making, feeling pressure to make choices that they know are going to
cost them.
Close
family members and friends will endeavor to sway you to their line of
thinking. Some will oppose you and few,
if any, may fully understand, especially if what I request of you does not fit
into the category of what people deem normal.
It can be
overwhelming, but those who come to Me, seeking My counsel will know what to
do. Obedience brings them peace, for
things fall into place when good counsel is followed.
So shall My word be that goes forth
out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. [Is
55:11]
My Word and
My Spirit never conflict, for truth flows forth, absolute omnipotence, for I AM
El Shaddai (all-powerful, Omnipotence).
Continue in seeking Me, in prayer, in the
reading of My word and peace shall reside in you.
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world
gives, give I unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. [Jn 14:;27]
Keep aware, very aware, but do not be afraid. What must come, will come. Pray and keep focused, becoming increasingly
observant. A prayer for wisdom,
knowledge and understanding is answered, when it comes from a heart of humility
and love.
Do not be wise in your own eyes, but fear Me, understanding
My power and authority. Depart from evil
and it shall be your health and strength. Wait patiently upon Me, especially in My silence.
I AM doing things that you cannot comprehend or
understand. By faith and not by sight…I
honor those who walk in such a way. Knowing
that I love you; always remember that I AM for you and not against you.
This shall surely establish you and keep you
in perfect peace. Keep your eyes fixed
on Me, laying all your concerns down before Me - in trust.
You will know
what to do in days ahead. Believe Me for
full healing and restoration to the Body. Think upon Job and Naaman (a righteous man, and the mighty man of valor). Repentance and humility restored them both,
as they listened to Me and obeyed.
Consider
Job first…
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot
be seen; and his bones that were not seen [now] stick out. Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave and
his life to the destroyers.
|
| Job's three friends thought he hid sin. Job had to pray for three out of the four who came to see him. [Job 42:7-10] |
His flesh shall be fresher than a
child’s: he shall return to the days
of his youth: he shall pray to God
(Yhwh), and He will be favorable to him: and He shall see his face with
joy: for He will render unto man His righteousness.
[Job
33:21-22; 25-26]
And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends:
also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more
than his beginning… [
]
[Job 42:10, part of 12]
(Job received full healing and restoration)
Now
consider Naaman…
Now Naaman, captain of the host of
the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable because by
him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria: he was a mighty man in valor, but
he was a leper. [2Kin
5:1]
But Naaman was wroth (angry) and
went away, and said, Behold, I thought, he (Elisha) will surely come out to me
and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand (lay
his hand) over the place and recover the leper.
Then he went down and dipped
himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God:
and his flesh came again like unto
the flesh of a little child, and he was clean (healed).
And he returned to the man of God,
he (Naaman) and all his company and came, and stood before him: and he said,
Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now
therefore, I pray you, take a blessing of your servant. [2Kin
5:11, 14-15]
(Naaman was fully healed and restored)
Danger
approaches quickly. The weapons for overcoming fear are to trust and believe. Believe Me for the things I say to you. My people are going to rise up in My glory, in My power and with My
strength. They shall do great things and
through it all, I shall be glorified. Fear not death, for I alone hold that hour in My hand. Trust Me to be with you in all things.
(NOTE**- I know and believe that the Lord has an appointed time for all of us, but sometimes life can be cut short early...it's in scripture. [Eccl-7:17] We can do many things that can bring premature death and it would be safe to say that it was NOT the appointed time.)
For they overcame him, by the blood
of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they loved not their life unto
death. [Rev 12:11]
Verily, verily (surely, surely) I
say to you, he that believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto My Father. And whatsoever you shall ask in My
name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask any thing in My name, I will do
it. If you love Me, keep My
commandments.
There is no fear in love, but
perfect love casts out fear because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect (mature,
whole) in love. We love Him because He
first loved us. [Jn 14:12-14; 1Jn 4:6-7]
Day by day,
step by step I shall direct you. Keep
watchful and keep praying. I AM with
you, even when you do not realize it and even when I AM silent.
Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
[Mat 28:19, 20]
I have shown you what is good, and what do I require of you? I require that you do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with Me. [Mic 6:8] Selah
for His glory alone
