People use their own requirements and standards to decide who God has chosen or not. Consequently, neglecting God’s system, of choosing the foolish things, to confound the wise. God chose the weak things, to confound the strong. The base things of the world and the things which are despised hath God chosen; the things that are not to bring to naught the things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. (1 Corinthians 1:26-27)
You should choose to be chosen knowing that God chose you. Then when man comes to ordain you, they are only coming into compliance, with what Heaven has already done.
Break the tradition of rejection, in your life and ACCEPT that your are ACCEPTED in the Beloved and REJECT that you are REJECTED.
EXPECT the best, with a God EXPECTANCY and don’t take your EXPECTORS off, for anyone. (Maybe it didn’t happen yet, but God is going to do it for you because he loves you.)
If you don’t quit you win, in your faith walk with the Lord. Some resign prematurely, thinking that God won’t use them. Then they fail to press into God. Persist in putting your trust in God, get up and continue, despite falling. Rely on the Lord for strength today.
Father in Heaven, I come to you through your Son, Jesus. Your love sustains me, during this season of testing. My focus is you, Father, and I praise you, as you transform me into the image of Christ. Full surrender of my will for your will, your ways for my ways. God, you are all I need, as I rest in you and the promises in your Word. Amen
So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison,because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 TPT)
I believe the Lord is raising the standard of his holiness in the body of Christ.
“Holiness is for what God is calling and without no man shall see the Lord. Oh I will live right, holy in your sight. Pure and true just like You…” (A prophetic song of the Lord.)
Holiness is a matter or state of the heart towards Christ and his body. Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. (Matthew 5:8)
Worship is more than the melodic singing of songs and skillful playing of music but also how we interact with each other and treat our relationships. However, God doesn’t want our offering, if we have an alt against one another. He wants us leave our gift or offering at the altar and go be reconciled to our brother or sister. More than giving an offering, the Father desires us to become an offering poured out like a “drink offering.”
Holiness is a matter of the heart, not the appearance. It’s the pure in heart that will see God, not pure in the letter or Scriptures but the heart. Holiness is the fire of the Holy Spirit exposing the heart, to the permeating love of God. Formerly, there has been much emphasis outwardly, trying to dress to part. While neglecting the most essential part, “the heart.” as we meet the Holiness of God, we become overwhelmingly consumed with living a life filled with pleasing the Lord. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live holy, the word equips us to live holy, but God’s love transforms us to be holy. God is filling our hearts, minds, and body with the fresh fires of his holiness.
Holiness is a matter or condition of the heart. The inner power of the Holy Spirit outwardly revealing in our character. A Process of becoming divine, Dying to live, living to love, and loving to love exactly like God.
When you are going through tests and trials, remember you are not alone. You have God, Jesus and Holy Spirit, on your side, when you have accepted Jesus, God’s Anointed One and Only Son, as your redeemer and Lord. Much greater are those with you, than those against you. Praise God that the fight is fixed in your favor! He wars on your behalf.
Do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God will personally fight for you. (Deuteronomy 3:22 NET)
No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed; you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. This is what the LORD will do for his servants–I will vindicate them,” says the LORD (Yahweh, your covenant keeping God). (Isaiah 54:17 NET)
After Saul was prophesied to, HE WAS TURNED INTO ANOTHER MAN!
“And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you SHALL PROPHESY WITH THEM, and SHALL BE TURNED INTO ANOTHER MAN.” (1 Samuel 10:6 )
The prophetic Word of the Lord, has the divine creative supernatural ability to TURN (change, transform, transmute, transpose) you, into another person, and cause you to prophesy also. The prophetic is more than just words, but the supernatural release of the heart and ability of God. The prophetic is more than just confirmation, but it actually triggers the move of God in your life.
Once the law of God is released in the earth, nothing and no one can halt it. Today, on the calendar of God, marks a new day of Divine Turnaround in your life. Your obstacles are being turned into advantages.
God is shifting those whom have endured the process God required of them. He is shifting them into the receiving and finishing part of the process. Things are being reversed, from dry to an overflowing wellspring, from loss to profit, from sterile to fertility, from investment to return, from sowing to harvesting, from cursing to blessing, and from lack to the more abundant life Yahweh promised. Divine Turnaround for you.
The love of God finds expression through the extravagant love of Jesus, who took our shame, blame, condemnation, burdens, curses, diseases, fear and sin, when he died for us. He sets us free from pain. His amazing love draws us to him. His goodness, mercy and lovingkindness, are beyond measure. Accept his astonishing invitation to spend time with him and experience his transforming love. Christ lives inside of us and his Holy Spirit, leads us into all truth.
Enjoy his loving presence, so you can share his love with others. Love!
Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that. (Ephesians 5:1-2 MSG)
Some say God hates divorce, God says, it depends on who you are divorcing. Here are some things you may need to divorce:
The spirit of comparison, measuring yourself to someone else.
The spirit of identity crisis, striving but never being yourself; unhappy with oneself, and having no identity.
The spirit of Saul, the people’s choice, living by the impulse of others.
The spirit of self-mutilation, can’t love your neighbor, as one loves oneself because one hates oneself.
Last but not least, the spirit of isolation, no communication, no relation, no true covenant relationship with another.
One must fall out of agreement with the enemy and come into complete compliance with the Lord. “…and the two became one.” Divorce what the enemy’s saying to you and marry the Lord and become one with his word; you’re the bride, Yeshua is the groom.
