Words of Prophecy
* My child, I am about to place great abundance [both spiritual and financial] at your disposal. Do not fear, only believe. For is not My Word true, and am I not faithful? You have forsaken much for the sake of My Kingdom, My beloved one, therefore, only set yourself in a position of faith to receive the abundant return that I have provided for you according to My Word. Have you not forsaken fathers, children and lands as well as brothers and sisters, in obedience to Me? Rejoice My child! For, indeed, you shall have the deepest desires of your heart in this very hour. Trust Me in ALL things - for indeed My Hand is mightily upon you. Surely you would not deny the blessing of a Father to His child?!
* It is a "lonely road" for My faithful and obedient ones - as far as the "world" is concerned. But truly I say to you, what is "lost" for the sake of the Gospel of the Kingdom is gained a hundred-fold in fellowship with Me - and great reward both in this age and in the ages to come.
...."For I [Paul] consider that the sufferings of this present time [this present life] are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!".... Romans 8:18 The Amplified Translation
* All those of you who have truly laid down their lives for Me are now entering into the most productive time of your life and ministry, and so shall it be right to the end of the age - for all of My holy ones.
* Many forsake the life of the Cross in order to gain the approval [acceptance] and praises of men [flesh and blood]. For if one will simply "compromise" the life of the Cross it is certain that they will gain a wide acceptance throughout the church at large but if one holds fast to the narrow path of perfect obedience [the life of the Cross] at all cost to themselves then it is certain that they will be reviled by many and suffer great reproach for righteousness' sake. But truly I say to you, the Spirit of Glory [1 Peter 4:14] shall work mightily within them and rest heavily upon them in this hour as they continue to go forth in a perfect love and obedience and great is their reward - both in their remaining time in this dispensation, and in the ages to come.
...."Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun [keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be] any sort of idolatry [of loving or venerating anything more than God]".... 1 Corinthians 10:14 The Amplified Translation
...."The fear of man brings a snare, BUT he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted".... Proverbs 29:25 NASB
...."Jesus said, 'Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last, first".... Mark 10:29-31 NASB
The extreme importance of one continually choosing the narrow path of perfect obedience and absolute love for the Lord ABOVE the fear of man [peer pressure and idolatry] can NEVER underestimated by the one truly seeking to walk out the "fullness" of their precious destiny, in Christ. In the church at large there have been a number of people who have, over the years, succumbed to the "peer pressure" of their present "environment" [church, work and family]and, in the process, are now in a position wherein if a deep and thorough repentance is not forthcoming in the days ahead, they [along with those they chose to follow]will [without exception] "miss" [fall far short of]their precious destiny in Christ - where the Glorious Church [and their perfect part in it] is concerned.
"miss" - to fail to take advantage of; to fail to be present at or for [in this case, one's entrance into true Kingdom-position - and the fullness of their destiny];
Obedience is ALWAYS the best course of action for not only the one being obedient to God but, also, for all those in their "sphere of existence" [both spiritually and physically]. There is absolutely NO question that the Lord will make up for any lost time or temporary separation that may occur in the process of one obeying Him - both in the remainder of this age and throughout Eternity. In other words, one can NEVER lose or come up short in ANY way as they "obey" [God] for the sake of the Gospel [of the Kingdom]. When all of the details are gathered and every testimony of faith heard [in the fullness of time] we will SURELY see how truly "remarkable" the love and righteous actions in the years leading up to the advent of the Glorious Church were by those who "laid down their lives" for the sake of others [righteousness' sake] - and, in the process, just how instrumental their "unselfish" words and actions were in leading many captives into perfect liberty!
"remarkable"- notably or conspicuously unusual [in this case, because many chose the fear of man [and idolatry] that brings a snare - a snare that prevents one from entering into the fullness of their destiny in Christ]; worthy of notice or attention; |
