Words of Prophecy:
* Only those who trust Me with ALL of their heart will
be found "trustworthy" [loyal, faithful] in
this final hour.
* My Love [and
Wisdom] "abiding" in the hearts of My faithful children will "draw" to
them [as a magnet] those who are
"trustworthy" [faithful, loyal, righteously
motivated] in this most glorious hour while, at the same time,
"repelling" those who are untrustworthy [unfaithful, disloyal, unrighteously
motivated].
"repel"- to drive or force back; to resist
effectively; to keep off or out; fail to mix with;
* Natural
"loyalty" [soulish relationship or
friendship] remains "faithful" [trustworthy] to another only to the degree that
that one continues to serve their "own" purposes [gratifies soulish {selfish} desire within them] -
while true [divine] loyalty ALWAYS obeys Me
on another's behalf at all cost to themselves.
"loyalty" - faithfulness; allegiance;
devotion;
* True friends "trust" - and true friends are found
"trustworthy".
"trust"-
reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety etc. of a person or thing;
confidence; confident expectation of something; a person on whom one
relies;
"trustworthy"-
deserving of trust or confidence; dependable;
reliable;
...."Greater love has no one than this, that one lay
down his life for his friends".... John 15:13 NASB
...."a friend
loves at all times".... Proverbs 17:17 NASB
....."Many a man
proclaims his own loyalty, but who can find a trustworthy man [friend]?"....
Proverbs 20:6 NASB
...."he who is trustworthy [faithful of spirit] conceals a matter"....
Proverbs 11:13b NASB
"denotation"- the explicit or direct
meaning of a word or expression, as distinguished from the ideas or meaning
associated with it or suggested by it;
"profound" - being or going far beneath
what is superficial, external or obvious;
In worldly terms, being
"trustworthy" means that you are reliable, you won't pass on a secret you are
entrusted with, you are honest and credible. However, the word's "denotation" in
the Christian walk runs much deeper than that. To be a trustworthy friend in the
Kingdom of God DOES encapsulate faithfulness and dependability but it works on a
level that is more "profound" than our usual understanding of the
term.
If you have a trustworthy [godly]friend, you can trust that whatever
they give to you, say to you and think about you is God's best in that moment.
You trust them because they are seeking after the Lord, are filled with the Holy
Spirit - and are relying on Him to direct their paths concerning you. You KNOW
that every facet of whatever comes your way from them is perfect in the Lord's
eyes. It is a very deep trust - for you are believing that they "selflessly"
have your best spiritual interests at heart, just as the Lord has,
continually.
What is so special about being "divinely connected"
with a "trustworthy friend" is that we have a sure [certain] knowledge that whatever they
receive [on our behalf] is directly
from the heart of God. Our aim, then, should be for everything that flows back
[through us] the other way to be of
the same calibre. In other words, our earnest and continual prayer would be that
whatever we say and do would be said and done with a "pin-point accuracy" [perfect Love] - EVER inspired and
empowered by the Holy Spirit for their "greatest good" [greatest eternal benefit]. To that end, it is
of the utmost importance for us to stay close to the Lord at the foot of the
Cross [signifying a life of obedience unto the
denial of the self-life] - for it is the ONLY way that one can hope
[with a supernatural hope that is rooted and
grounded in love - and a revelation of the Father's Will] to be found
a trustworthy friend in return.
