ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAT BLOOD, HOW DEAD ARE YOU?

ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAT BLOOD, HOW DEAD ARE YOU?

A single personal ambition is a sign that self still remains. The kingdom position that you desire will require total death to self. The enemy can have no hold at all. Not a single personal ambition can remain when I move you the position of " a manifest son of God. The death that I died to redeem you was complete, there was no life left in Me. When I said, " not My will be done" the death to self took place.

Luke 22:42-45 (AMP)
Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but always Yours be done. [43] And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit. [44] And being in an agony of mind, He prayed all the more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground. [45] And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief,

This is where I sweat blood, the level of the elect, demands total death to self. An ambition is a desire to assert ones own agenda and this will guarantee your downfall in the last day battles. The receiving and embracing of a single compliment can be the arrow that strikes a deathblow. All glory goes to Me, I share My glory with no man. When you are totally empty of self, then you are ready filled with My glory.

John 13:16 (AMP)
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.

When you walk with the light of My glory in a dark world then all attention is drawn to that light. It is the light that is drawing, not you. If you are not totally dead you will misinterpret the object of the attention. You will not be able to resist the temptation to take some of the glory. Those who I have selected to carry My glory in great measure sweat the most blood and have the longest desert experiences. 

Exodus 3:1-7,10 (KJV)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. [2] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Death to self takes place in the back side of the desert. The anguish that takes place in the soul man is very unpleasant for the moment. Most will refuse it and therefore will not carry My glory in great measure. They will be salt and light but not carriers of My glory in any great measure. Most people can be trusted with some cash in their pocket but few can be trusted to deliver a million dollars of someone else's cash.

2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

The glory is Mine and you are commissioned to carry it to a dark world without touching it. Sweating blood is the result of crucified self will. I died two deaths, one in the garden and one on the hill. One privately and one publicly. One inner and one outer. You are no greater than I, for Me to have the glory of the resurrected life, I had to completely die inside and out. 

2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

You do not understand what you ask for, when you ask for "all of Me". It is a very nobel request, but to fill this request you must drink the same cup that I drank of.  I can assure you it is worth it because many will be led out of darkness into the marvelous light of His glory. This death process is not a one time thing but a continuous everyday experience. 

In times of transition there is a rearranging of things that have been all neat and in order for perhaps years. Everything looks a mess, it is becomes a time of re-evaluation, and cleaning. Throwing out the things that clutter and take up space, things that once were very useful but now just take up space. Learning to rest in Me during these times will help the relocation go faster and smoother.

One of your hardest times will be, when I tell you to throw away something that once was a main pillar or instrument or tradition in your spiritual growth and ministry. Every area that you claim victory in will be re-challenged to see if it is truly dead. This is for your good and for the kingdom, because if it remains alive when you are carrying My glory, it will do great damage.

Matthew 9:17 (KJV)
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

Satan has no authority at all, over you, but if you give him a room in your house you have given him place to rule from and then you have given him authority. Are you willing to sweat blood in order to carry more of My glory to a people in pitch blackness. You will be so glad you did.

Matthew 20:21-23,25-28 (AMP)
And He asked her, What do you wish? She answered Him, Give orders that these two sons of mine may sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left in Your kingdom. [22] But Jesus replied, You do not realize what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink and to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized ? They answered, We are able. [23] He said to them, You will drink My cup, but seats at My right hand and at My left are not Mine to give, but they are for those for whom they have been ordained and prepared by My Father. [25] And Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection tyrannizing over them. [26] Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, [27] And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave-- [28] Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many the price paid to set them free.

Exodus 3:1-7,10 (KJV)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. [2] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. [3] And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. [4] And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. [5] And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. [6] Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. [7] And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; [10] Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Romans 8:17 (AMP)
And if we are His children, then we are His heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ sharing His inheritance with Him; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.
