EARTHQUAKE PROOF
I have given strict warning on how to build and where to build, in order to be unshakeable. Sand or rock the choice is yours of where to build. All flesh is sand, all temporary is sand and the soul is sand. What ever begins and ends with the 5 senses is sand. If it feels good, smells good, sounds good, looks good, tastes good, it is sand.
There is nothing wrong with sand, it is a major ingredient of mortar and becomes a strong bonding agent when places in My hands to be used. However it can never be the foundation for anything permanent, for the earthquake will come and you can be sure it will fall. Another human being is sand, there are many of My children who build there house on another persons faith. In My kingdom only single story buildings are allowed. Two people cannot share the same foundation, the weight is too great.
When the shaking begins the upper story will fall off because it has no faith foundation of it's own. Anyone who builds on good works and past accomplishments will experience a collapse. I am the rock and there can be no other foundation than Me. That words that I speak are life and will never move. There are no earthquakes in My kingdom and therefore nothing shakes. All that is built in earth will be shaken and fall.
Some only have a foundation in the kingdom and the rest of the building is on sandy earth, everything will fall around them but their foundation will remain. They started right, but soon shifted tobgood works and accomplishments as their support system. It is easy to transfer your faith from what I say to what I do. This is a bad choice, for My word is established forever, but what I do is passing.
When I heal your body, the healing will only last as long as your body lasts, so anything I do in the earth is temporary because the earth will pass away. Build your house on obedience to My word, not the letter, but the words that I speak to you. If you do know My voice, you cannot build anything in My kingdom. I give hourly and moment by moment instruction. I am a resident construction manager.
If you have not heard My voice stop, you are wasting your time, all that you have built thus far is faulty and it will collapse shortly. If you are reminding Me and yourself of how many things you have done for Me, it will all be shaken to pieces. If you are reminding yourself of the things I have done for you, it is reinforcement to strengthen your kingdom building, when the enemy try's to discourage you.
Enter into the closet each day and receive My building plans for that day. If you neglect the closet experience you have wasted a day and remember you have only so many days to build. Be thankful for any advance shaking, I am showing you mercy by allowing time on earth to rebuild it right. If I shake it every few days you will soon catch on, what is temporary and what is eternal.
The western mindset knows very little about permanent and a whole lot, about cheap and fast. Your mind will be renewed in the planning room, with Me each day, as I hand out your instructions. Just as a reminder, I only hand out one days instruction at a time, don't ask Me for two or try to second guess the next days plan, you cannot build without Me, right there beside you. I will meet you in the planning room.
Psalm 127:1 (KJV)
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Matthew 7:26-27 (AMP)
And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand. [27] And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
Luke 6:47-48 (KJV)
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: [48] He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Acts 2:25-26 (AMP)
For David says in regard to Him, I saw the Lord constantly before me, for He is at my right hand that I may not be shaken or overthrown or cast down from my secure and happy state. [26] Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted exceedingly; moreover, my flesh also will dwell in hope will encamp, pitch its tent, and dwell in hope in anticipation of the resurrection.
Hebrews 12:26-29 (AMP)
Then at Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a promise: Yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the starry heavens. [27] Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all that can be shaken--that is, of that which has been created--in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue. [28] Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe; [29] For our God is indeed a consuming fire.
1 Corinthians 3:12-15 (KJV)
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Matthew 6:6 (AMP)
But when you pray, go into your most private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.

I AM TROUBLED
I AM TROUBLED
For the lack of preparation of My children, for the troubled times at hand. They go about their business as usual while the signs of the times are screaming," get to higher ground". the crack in the dam is about to give way to the pressure, yet most are just sitting watching it happen.
The intensity of seeking My face has not increased to the level of the situation. What price are you willing to pay today, to save your live tomorrow. Western Christians are so unprepared for hardship that many will think I have forsaken them. Hardship does not destroy, but it builds. Hardship separates the wheat and chaff, it builds character in the faithful, it draws My body together, it brings My people back to Me. Those that have walked the fence finally decide on which side they will walk.
Learn to live on less and there will be an enough supply for all. This is no longer an option, for tomorrow, less of luxury will be the lot of all. Wolf, wolf, has been cried so many times that no one moves, I've heard it before, this will pass as before, is the mindset of all those who drown. Get ready for you are about to experience one of the suddenly's that you have read so many times. For the time of preparation is over and My time to establish has come.
Sit and ponder no longer, do what I am saying to do, or there will be no time to get to higher ground. Strain to hear My voice, and pay the price of total surrender. Enter the narrow gate now, for your very life depends on it!!!
James 4:13-14 (AMP)
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city and spend a year there and carry on our business and make money. [14] Yet you do not know the least thing about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of your life? You are really but a wisp of vapor (a puff of smoke, a mist) that is visible for a little while and then disappears into thin air.
Matthew 24:38-39 (AMP)
For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the very day when Noah went into the ark, [39] And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (AMP)
BUT AS to the suitable times and the precise seasons and dates, brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you. [2] For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the return of the Lord will come as unexpectedly and suddenly as a thief in the night. [3] When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape.
Acts 2:43-47 (KJV)
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. [44] And all that believed were together, and had all things common; [45] And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men , as every man had need. [46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Acts 4:32-35 (AMP)
Now the company of believers was of one heart and soul, and not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was exclusively his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all. [33] And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all. [34] Nor was there a destitute or needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses proceeded to sell them, and one by one they brought (gave back) the amount received from the sales [35] And laid it at the feet of the apostles (special messengers). Then distribution was made according as anyone had need.
Matthew 7:13-15 (AMP)
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [15] Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.
Luke 12:45-47 (AMP)
But if that servant says in his heart, My master is late in coming, and begins to strike the menservants and the maids and to eat and drink and get drunk, [46] The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he does not know, and will punish him and cut him off and assign his lot with the unfaithful. [47] And that servant who knew his master''s will but did not get ready or act as he would wish him to act shall be beaten with many lashes.
Luke 12:39-40 (AMP)
But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into. [40] You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour and a moment when you do not anticipate it.

CHANGE YOUR DIET
CHANGE YOUR DIET
There are new levels and new glories as you grow in Me. Each new level demands a purer and more nutritious food. What was fine for the former glory will lead to weakness and lack of energy in the new glory.
The news, the world situations, the hopelessness of the world can no longer be the focus of attention. Your food must come from the throne room because the meat that you eat is to do My will. The understanding of My will is directly connected to your spiritual diet. Long hours in My presence will keep you above the effects of the end time happenings.
The daily evils that come against you are increasing as time runs out. This increase in pressure demands more energy to overcome in the natural and spiritual. It is a lie and deception of the enemy to believe you must know all the world happenings in order to understand the times in which you are living. With this deception he pulls you away from My table to feed and watch what he is doing. He can only do what I let him do and it's all prophesied in My word.
I know what you need to know of the world happenings and you will have sufficient knowledge. The enemy knows that focusing on destruction will lead to destruction, focusing on building will build. Feed at My table only and your diet will have kingdom nutrition that will keep you strong so you can endure to the end.
John 4:31-34 (KJV)
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. [32] But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. [33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? [34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Matthew 6:34 (AMP)
So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
Luke 21:28 (KJV)
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 9:59-62 (KJV)
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. [60] Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. [61] And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. [62] And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)
I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own yet; but one thing I do it is my one aspiration: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
Genesis 19:24-26 (AMP)
Then the Lord rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of the heavens. [25] He overthrew, destroyed, and ended those cities, and all the valley and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. [26] But Lot''s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

I GAVE YOU THE EASY JOB!!!
I GAVE YOU THE EASY JOB!!!
You have the job of planting and watering, bringing forth the increase is the hard part and that is totally My responsibility. I have watched many a overzealous laborer encroach on My area and try to do My job. This is not a light thing, but great damage is being done to the harvest.
Your task is easy, plant and water, give out the good news, and love them with My love and that's it. It's My word you are spreading and My love you are watering with, so you have no excuse as a laborer to complain of back breaking work. The reason for weariness may be you are trying to do My job of bringing forth the increase or cleaning the fish.
I save, not you, I deliver, not you, I heal, not you, I provide, not you. It is My name that carries weight not yours. It was My blood that was shed not yours. I am God not you, so never, never presume to do what only I can do. If you will stick to doing only what I have called you to do, the kingdom will grow fast, sow seed and water it. Give them My word and water it by loving them with My unconditional love and watch how fast they grow.
Never corrupt the seed with the tares of your doctrine and never poison the water with your conditional love or the crop will not be eatable. Everything will be poisoned with the doctrines of men.
Stay very close to Me, spend hours with Me each day and the seed and water will always be pure and it will allow Me to bring forth a 30, 60, or 100 fold harvest. In short stay close to Me and stay out of My business, and you won't wear yourself out and the kingdom will grow fast and healthy.
1 Corinthians 3:6-15 (AMP)
I planted, Apollos watered, but God all the while was making it grow and He gave the increase. [7] So neither he who plants is anything nor he who waters, but only God Who makes it grow and become greater. [8] He who plants and he who waters are equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor. [9] For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God''s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, you are God''s building. [10] According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid the foundation, and now another man is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon it, [11] For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is already laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). [12] But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, [13] The work of each one will become plainly, openly known (shown for what it is); for the day of Christ will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. [14] If the work which any person has built on this Foundation any product of his efforts whatever survives this test, he will get his reward. [15] But if any person''s work is burned up under the test, he will suffer the loss of it all, losing his reward, though he himself will be saved, but only as one who has passed through fire.
Matthew 9:37-38 (AMP)
Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. [38] So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.
Matthew 9:37-38 (AMP)
Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. [38] So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.
Matthew 9:37-38 (AMP)
Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. [38] So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.
Matthew 15:6-9,13 (AMP)
So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect. [9] Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men. [13] He answered, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be torn up by the roots.
Matthew 16:18 (KJV)
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:16-18 (AMP)
Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood men have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. [18] And I tell you, you are Peter Greek, Petros--a large piece of rock, and on this rock Greek, petra--a huge rock like Gibraltar I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it.
Psalm 127:1 (KJV)
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Matthew 11:28-29 (AMP)
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. [29] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.

[18] And I tell you, you are Peter Greek, Petros--a large piece of rock, and on this rock Greek, petra--a huge rock like Gibraltar I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it.

I GAVE YOU THE EASY JOB!!!
You have the job of planting and watering, bringing forth the increase is the hard part and that is totally My responsibility. I have watched many a overzealous laborer encroach on My area and try to do My job. This is not a light thing, but great damage is being done to the harvest.
Your task is easy, plant and water, give out the good news, and love them with My love and that's it. It's My word you are spreading and My love you are watering with, so you have no excuse as a laborer to complain of back breaking work. The reason for weariness may be you are trying to do My job of bringing forth the increase or cleaning the fish.
I save, not you, I deliver, not you, I heal, not you, I provide, not you. It is My name that carries weight not yours. It was My blood that was shed not yours. I am God not you, so never, never presume to do what only I can do. If you will stick to doing only what I have called you to do, the kingdom will grow fast, sow seed and water it. Give them My word and water it by loving them with My unconditional love and watch how fast they grow.
Never corrupt the seed with the tares of your doctrine and never poison the water with your conditional love or the crop will not be eatable. Everything will be poisoned with the doctrines of men.
Stay very close to Me, spend hours with Me each day and the seed and water will always be pure and it will allow Me to bring forth a 30, 60, or 100 fold harvest. In short stay close to Me and stay out of My business, and you won't wear yourself out and the kingdom will grow fast and healthy.
1 Corinthians 3:6-15 (AMP)
I planted, Apollos watered, but God all the while was making it grow and He gave the increase. [7] So neither he who plants is anything nor he who waters, but only God Who makes it grow and become greater. [8] He who plants and he who waters are equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor. [9] For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God''s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, you are God''s building. [10] According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid the foundation, and now another man is building upon it. But let each man be careful how he builds upon it, [11] For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is already laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). [12] But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, [13] The work of each one will become plainly, openly known (shown for what it is); for the day of Christ will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. [14] If the work which any person has built on this Foundation any product of his efforts whatever survives this test, he will get his reward. [15] But if any person''s work is burned up under the test, he will suffer the loss of it all, losing his reward, though he himself will be saved, but only as one who has passed through fire.

COMPASSION VS SOUL TIES AND SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM !!!
COMPASSION VS SOUL TIES AND SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM !!!
In is not possible for a human being to have compassion without My abiding presence. Compassion is God breathed and is attribute only of your creator. Compassion differs from sympathy, and feelings, and has no connection with soul ties whatsoever.
Compassion originates in the Spirit and is controlled by the Spirit at all times. It takes into account the whole person, not just the visible physical need. It addresses core issues, and core problems as well as the physical. Compassion always includes action, but refuses emotional flesh ties that bind a persons soul to the afflicted, rendering them powerless and useless in the kingdom.
Good people have started out, moved with compassion and fallen into an enemy emotional trap by assuming My position as savior, healer, deliverer, or provider. Sometimes all of four at once. This cunning trick, binds the souls of two people together, as a result of spiritual cannibalism, feeding off each others emotions, they both die while questioning My whereabouts. It is similar to an unskilled person trying to save a drowning man, if you don't remain free from the victims grasp both will drown.
Compassion is in My control at all times and will not let the victim grab ahold of your heart strings and pull you down, drowning you in depression because of your failure to save them. This type of death can happen in a few moments to the most dedicated believers. The more dedicated you are the more susceptible you become, because of the purity and sensitivity of your heart.
You will recognize soul ties when a person becomes consumed by another and they speak of saving or rescuing them. The compassionate person may want someone saved, healed or delivered so badly, that if I don't heal them, then they unknowingly take over because their soul has become emotionally tied to the victim. I no longer control them but the victim does, and the enemy has won because they are out of the battle, they are bound to another soul until a deliverance comes.
All soul ties are of the enemy, even between a married couple. When one soul is tied to another, they are controlled by each others emotions and a life of manipulation is established. Kingdom people have only spirit ties, their spirit is tied to My Spirit. This way My compassion can flow from Me to the victim through them, unhindered.
You may have compassion on as many as a hundred people at the same time, but to be soul tied, you are helplessly bound to only one human being, committing spiritual cannibalism, feeding off each others emotions, you will die together. Because the connection with Me is broken, you will be drawing your strength for the one you are trying to rescue, actually sapping strength from them, hastening their demise.
Remain in Me and My compassion will feed the multitudes over and over again and with each feeding you will be strengthened by the baskets left over.
John 15:5 (KJV)
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Matthew 15:32 (KJV)
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him , and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
James 5:11 (AMP)
You know how we call those blessed (happy) who were steadfast who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the Lord''s purpose and how He richly blessed him in the end, inasmuch as the Lord is full of pity and compassion and tenderness and mercy.
Romans 9:12-23 (AMP)
It was said to her that the elder son should serve the younger son. [13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated (held in relative disregard in comparison with My feeling for Jacob). [14] What shall we conclude then? Is there injustice upon God''s part? Certainly not! [15] For He says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion (pity) on whom I will have compassion. [16] So then God''s gift is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God''s mercy. It depends not on one''s own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God''s having mercy on him. [17] For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, I have raised you up for this very purpose of displaying My power in dealing with you, so that My name may be proclaimed the whole world over. [18] So then He has mercy on whomever He wills (chooses) and He hardens (makes stubborn and unyielding the heart of) whomever He wills. [19] You will say to me, Why then does He still find fault and blame us for sinning? For who can resist and withstand His will? [20] But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? [21] Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use? [22] What if God, although fully intending to show the awfulness of His wrath and to make known His power and authority, has tolerated with much patience the vessels (objects) of His anger which are ripe for destruction? [23] And what if He thus purposes to make known and show the wealth of His glory in dealing with the vessels (objects) of His mercy which He has prepared beforehand for glory,
Judges 14:16-17 (AMP)
And Samson''s wife wept before him and said, You only hate me, you do not love me; you have put forth a riddle to my countrymen and have not told the answer to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told my father or my mother, and shall I tell you? [17] And Samson''s wife wept before him the seven days their feast lasted, and on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him with entreaties. Then she told the riddle to her countrymen.
Judges 16:15-17,19-20 (AMP)
And she said to him, How can you say, I love you, when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me in what your great strength lies. [16] And when she pressed him day after day with her words and urged him, he was vexed to death. [17] Then he told her all his mind and said to her, A razor has never come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my birth. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man. [19] And she made Samson sleep upon her knees, and she called a man and caused him to shave off the seven braids of his head. Then she began to torment Samson, and his strength went from him. [20] She said, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep and said, I will go out as I have time after time and shake myself free. For Samson did not know that the Lord had departed from him.
Romans 8:14-15 (AMP)
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. [15] For the Spirit which you have now received is not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption the Spirit producing sonship in the bliss of which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!
2 Corinthians 6:14 (AMP)
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness?
John 11:21 (AMP)
Martha then said to Jesus, Master, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Acts 5:1-2,9-10 (AMP)
BUT A certain man named Ananias with his wife Sapphira sold a piece of property, [2] And with his wife''s knowledge and connivance he kept back and wrongfully appropriated some of the proceeds, bringing only a part and putting it at the feet of the apostles. [9] Then Peter said to her, How could you two have agreed and conspired together to try to deceive the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also. [10] And instantly she fell down at his feet and died; and the young men entering found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Mark 6:22-28 (AMP)
For when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased and fascinated Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, Ask me for whatever you desire, and I will give it to you. [23] And he put himself under oath to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom. [24] Then she left the room and said to her mother, What shall I ask for myself? And she replied, The head of John the Baptist! [25] And she rushed back instantly to the king and requested, saying, I wish you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter. [26] And the king was deeply pained and grieved and exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to slight her by breaking faith with her. [27] And immediately the king sent off one of the soldiers of his bodyguard and gave him orders to bring John''s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison [28] And brought his head on a platter and handed it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
Luke 14:20 (AMP)
And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come.
1 Corinthians 7:32-36 (KJV)
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: [33] But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. [34] There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. [35] And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. [36] But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Matthew 10:34-37 (AMP)
Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. [35] For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a newly married wife from her mother-in-law-- [36] And a man''s foes will be they of his own household. [37] He who loves and takes more pleasure in father or mother more than in Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves and takes more pleasure in son or daughter more than in Me is not worthy of Me;
Romans 8:27 (AMP)
And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the Holy Spirit what His intent is, because the Spirit intercedes and pleads before God in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God''s will.
Mark 1:41 (KJV)
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

Martha then said to Jesus, Master, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Acts 5:1-2,9-10 (AMP)
BUT A certain man named Ananias with his wife Sapphira sold a piece of property, [2] And with his wife''s knowledge and connivance he kept back and wrongfully appropriated some of the proceeds, bringing only a part and putting it at the feet of the apostles. [9] Then Peter said to her, How could you two have agreed and conspired together to try to deceive the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also. [10] And instantly she fell down at his feet and died; and the young men entering found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Mark 6:22-28 (AMP)
For when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased and fascinated Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, Ask me for whatever you desire, and I will give it to you. [23] And he put himself under oath to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom. [24] Then she left the room and said to her mother, What shall I ask for myself? And she replied, The head of John the Baptist! [25] And she rushed back instantly to the king and requested, saying, I wish you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter. [26] And the king was deeply pained and grieved and exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to slight her by breaking faith with her. [27] And immediately the king sent off one of the soldiers of his bodyguard and gave him orders to bring John''s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison [28] And brought his head on a platter and handed it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
Luke 14:20 (AMP)
And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come.
1 Corinthians 7:32-36 (KJV)
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: [33] But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. [34] There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. [35] And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. [36] But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Matthew 10:34-37 (AMP)
Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. [35] For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a newly married wife from her mother-in-law-- [36] And a man''s foes will be they of his own household. [37] He who loves and takes more pleasure in father or mother more than in Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves and takes more pleasure in son or daughter more than in Me is not worthy of Me;
Romans 8:27 (AMP)
And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the Holy Spirit what His intent is, because the Spirit intercedes and pleads before God in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God''s will.
Mark 1:41 (KJV)
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

LIFE STYLE VS INTERMITTENT COMMITMENT
LIFE STYLE VS INTERMITTENT COMMITMENT
Now that the battle of flesh VS unconditional surrender is settled, let Me show you the benefits. A lifestyle of unconditional surrender brings fast answers because your are living in My perfect will which includes My timing also.
When you are in My will but out of My timing many answers are delayed until it fits My time table. Being in both of these you will experience instant answers or answers in hours instead of days, because you are always at the right place at the right time and you are seeking My kingdom first.
Along with unconditional surrender any and all of My Spiritual gifts are at your disposal because different gifts will be needed at different times. If one who has a needed gift is not available you need that gift to accomplish the task at hand. It's yours for the asking.
Many will request your prayers expecting instant answers but their answer must also fit My time and will. Using the gift of knowledge will help you to pray in these circumstances.
Unconditional surrender as a lifestyle will always be a daily decision, because every 24 hours has it's own evil and temptations to reject or yield to. With each passing day it will become easier to unconditionally surrender, until it becomes almost automatic. However I will never take over your will, it will always remain yours to surrender or take back. I do not want you as a robot, My glory comes from your daily decision to love and surrender.
Delayed answers bring pressure, so if you can stay aligned with My timing that pressure is removed. The speed with which I answer is always linked to My timing and if you are always in My time you will understand what I meant by easy, when I said," my yoke is easy". Remember everything is based on intimacy with Me and coveting My presence, without which unconditional surrender is impossible.
Now start enjoying the benefits of unconditional surrender, and see how quickly My kingdom comes wherever your feet treads.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 (KJV)
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: [2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; [3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; [4] A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; [5] A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; [6] A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; [7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; [8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. [9] What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? [10] I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. [11] He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Psalm 81:13-14 (AMP)
Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! [14] Speedily then I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries.
Isaiah 58:6-8 (KJV)
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? [7] Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? [8] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.
Luke 18:7-8 (AMP)
And will not our just God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? [8] I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find persistence in faith on the earth?
1 Corinthians 12:29-31 (AMP)
Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles? [30] Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way one that is better by far and the highest of them all--love.
Romans 8:32 (AMP)
He who did not withhold or spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all other things?
Luke 11:13 (AMP)
If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts gifts that are to their advantage to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!
Matthew 6:34 (AMP)
So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
Luke 11:3 (AMP)
Give us daily our bread food for the morrow.
Lamentations 3:22-28 (AMP)
It is because of the Lord''s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His tender compassions fail not. [23] They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness. [24] The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him. [25] The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him inquire of and for Him and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God''s word. [26] It is good that one should hope in and wait quietly for the salvation (the safety and ease) of the Lord. [27] It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke of divine disciplinary dealings in his youth. [28] Let him sit alone uncomplaining and keeping silent in hope, because God has laid the yoke upon him for his benefit.
Matthew 11:29 (AMP)
Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.
Now that the battle of flesh VS unconditional surrender is settled, let Me show you the benefits. A lifestyle of unconditional surrender brings fast answers because your are living in My perfect will which includes My timing also.

FORGET MY TEACHINGS, FOLLOW ME...THIS IS WHY YOU SO MISERABLE!!!
FORGET MY TEACHINGS, FOLLOW ME...THIS IS WHY YOU SO MISERABLE!!!
The reason you fear total surrender is your lack of understanding it's meaning and benefits. Unless you understand unconditional love, you will never unconditionally surrender. Unconditional surrender to anyone without unconditional love will imprison you to their conditions.
I am the originator and only source of unconditional love. Without Me there is none. Therefore it is foolish and dangerous to unconditionally surrender to anyone other than Me.
What does unconditional surrender to Me really lead to? It leads to, no more tossing and turning all night! No more grinding of teeth! No more muscle tension! No more pacing the floor! No more mental strain! It leads to inner rest! Peace! Calm presence! Enjoyment of smelling the roses of life! Time to get everything done with out pressure!
The moment you enter this abandonment lifestyle you will begin to hear a lot of,"no don't touch that", just as when you entered natural life. The reason being, you have no idea how to live in My kingdom, where a lifestyle of total surrender is a must. In My kingdom only My will is done. Upon entering the gates you must surrender you will and take My yoke, which is doing the will of My Father, and not hard at all.
So called Christianity became a hard life, because it became a religion and not simply following Me. If you try to follow My teachings without following Me, the stress of life will make you miserable. I am a person, my teachings are kingdom principles. Flesh always seeks to leave Me out and tries to manipulate kingdom principles to satisfy it's own lust. It always end in failure and misery.
When you follow Me you don't need to worry about My teachings. You cannot follow Me without following My teachings, but you can follow My teachings without following Me and you will be of all men, most miserable. Many have seared their conscious, becoming talented religious con artists, teaching My teachings with great enticing words yet have never followed Me a single step.
Others followed Me for a short while, learned My principles and then decided to sell My principles for filthy lucre. These will pay dearly for fleecing and stumbling My sheep. The one thing no one ever accused Me of, was being after someone's money. If you are ever accused of that then you lack total surrender and are trying to pay the bills yourself.
Total surrender to Me, means I pay the bills from then on.
"What about My flat screen tv", you ask, think first, was it bought under My direction, or did flesh control your purchase. Everything and I mean everything is directed by Me under the unconditional surrender agreement.
You are responsible for only one thing from this point on, TO OBEY. I will take care of the rest. Work where I tell you to work, fellowship where I say fellowship, go where I say to go. Buy what what I say to buy. Sell, give away, and burn things as I direct. Your entertainment will be fellowshipping with Me first and My body second.
Here's the deal, you give Me your live, since I gave Mine for you. This means, all your, time, efforts, labor, attention, love, devotion, even all your thoughts. In return I will take responsibility for you life, because you will then be a kingdom person.
Do not worry about retaining your identity because you will loose it completely. The old you will be gone, your old desires, habits, and attitudes will disappear and I will give you a new identity. Remember you were born wrong, so you had to be born again, but false teachers told you to retain your identity and follow My teachings instead of following Me, leading you to a confusing, miserable life of wanting to do right but ending up doing the opposite.
If you are sick and tired of struggling with life, let Me live it for you by unconditionally surrendering to unconditional love and you will discover that My yoke really is easy.
John 5:38-40 (AMP)
And you have not His word (His thought) living in your hearts, because you do not believe and adhere to and trust in and rely on Him Whom He has sent. That is why you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the Messenger Whom He has sent. [39] You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these very Scriptures testify about Me! [40] And still you are not willing but refuse to come to Me, so that you might have life.
Matthew 15:8-9 (AMP)
These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me. [9] Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men.
1 Corinthians 15:19 (AMP)
If we who are abiding in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied.
2 Timothy 3:5 (AMP)
For although they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession. Avoid all such people turn away from them.
Romans 7:23-24 (AMP)
But I discern in my bodily members in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh. [24] O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from the shackles of this body of death?
Matthew 11:28-30 (AMP)
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. [29] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. [30] For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (AMP)
Inasmuch as we refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
Hebrews 4:9-11 (KJV)
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. [10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. [11] Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:9-11 (AMP)
So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the true people of God; [10] For he who has once entered God''s rest also has ceased from the weariness and pain of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own. [11] Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest of God, to know and experience it for ourselves, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience into which those in the wilderness fell.
Matthew 6:24-34 (AMP)
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in). [25] Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater in quality than food, and the body far above and more excellent than clothing? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? [27] And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? [28] And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. [29] Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. I Kings 10:4-7. [30] But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? [31] Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? [32] For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. [33] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. [34] So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

[11] Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest of God, to know and experience it for ourselves, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience into which those in the wilderness fell.
Matthew 6:24-34 (AMP)
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in). [25] Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater in quality than food, and the body far above and more excellent than clothing? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? [27] And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? [28] And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. [29] Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. I Kings 10:4-7. [30] But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? [31] Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? [32] For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. [33] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. [34] So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
FORGET MY TEACHINGS, FOLLOW ME...THIS IS WHY YOU SO MISERABLE!!!
The reason you fear total surrender is your lack of understanding it's meaning and benefits. Unless you understand unconditional love, you will never unconditionally surrender. Unconditional surrender to anyone without unconditional love will imprison you to their conditions.
I am the originator and only source of unconditional love. Without Me there is none. Therefore it is foolish and dangerous to unconditionally surrender to anyone other than Me.
What does unconditional surrender to Me really lead to? It leads to, no more tossing and turning all night! No more grinding of teeth! No more muscle tension! No more pacing the floor! No more mental strain! It leads to inner rest! Peace! Calm presence! Enjoyment of smelling the roses of life! Time to get everything done with out pressure!
The moment you enter this abandonment lifestyle you will begin to hear a lot of,"no don't touch that", just as when you entered natural life. The reason being, you have no idea how to live in My kingdom, where a lifestyle of total surrender is a must. In My kingdom only My will is done. Upon entering the gates you must surrender you will and take My yoke, which is doing the will of My Father, and not hard at all.
So called Christianity became a hard life, because it became a religion and not simply following Me. If you try to follow My teachings without following Me, the stress of life will make you miserable. I am a person, my teachings are kingdom principles. Flesh always seeks to leave Me out and tries to manipulate kingdom principles to satisfy it's own lust. It always end in failure and misery.
When you follow Me you don't need to worry about My teachings. You cannot follow Me without following My teachings, but you can follow My teachings without following Me and you will be of all men, most miserable. Many have seared their conscious, becoming talented religious con artists, teaching My teachings with great enticing words yet have never followed Me a single step.
Others followed Me for a short while, learned My principles and then decided to sell My principles for filthy lucre. These will pay dearly for fleecing and stumbling My sheep. The one thing no one ever accused Me of, was being after someone's money. If you are ever accused of that then you lack total surrender and are trying to pay the bills yourself.
Total surrender to Me, means I pay the bills from then on.
"What about My flat screen tv", you ask, think first, was it bought under My direction, or did flesh control your purchase. Everything and I mean everything is directed by Me under the unconditional surrender agreement.
You are responsible for only one thing from this point on, TO OBEY. I will take care of the rest. Work where I tell you to work, fellowship where I say fellowship, go where I say to go. Buy what what I say to buy. Sell, give away, and burn things as I direct. Your entertainment will be fellowshipping with Me first and My body second.
Here's the deal, you give Me your live, since I gave Mine for you. This means, all your, time, efforts, labor, attention, love, devotion, even all your thoughts. In return I will take responsibility for you life, because you will then be a kingdom person.
Do not worry about retaining your identity because you will loose it completely. The old you will be gone, your old desires, habits, and attitudes will disappear and I will give you a new identity. Remember you were born wrong, so you had to be born again, but false teachers told you to retain your identity and follow My teachings instead of following Me, leading you to a confusing, miserable life of wanting to do right but ending up doing the opposite.
If you are sick and tired of struggling with life, let Me live it for you by unconditionally surrendering to unconditional love and you will discover that My yoke really is easy.
John 5:38-40 (AMP)
And you have not His word (His thought) living in your hearts, because you do not believe and adhere to and trust in and rely on Him Whom He has sent. That is why you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the Messenger Whom He has sent. [39] You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these very Scriptures testify about Me! [40] And still you are not willing but refuse to come to Me, so that you might have life.
Matthew 15:8-9 (AMP)
These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me. [9] Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men.

If we who are abiding in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied.

Romans 7:23-24 (AMP)
But I discern in my bodily members in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh. [24] O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from the shackles of this body of death?
Matthew 11:28-30 (AMP)
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. [29] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. [30] For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (AMP)
Inasmuch as we refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
Hebrews 4:9-11 (KJV)
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. [10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. [11] Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:9-11 (AMP)
So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the true people of God; [10] For he who has once entered God''s rest also has ceased from the weariness and pain of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own. [11] Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest of God, to know and experience it for ourselves, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience into which those in the wilderness fell.

BREAK THE WESTERN WINDOW ... STOP GRIPING AND CLAIM THE FAVOR I PROMISED
BREAK THE WESTERN WINDOW ...
STOP GRIPING AND CLAIM THE FAVOR I PROMISED
If you will put Me first, I told you I will take care of all your needs. What is it about this, that you don't understand. I have given you My Spirit, I have laid out a plan that will not fail, every detail in your future, has been taken care of. Look where I have brought you from. Can you even number the miracles I have done in your past?
Your worrying grieves My Spirit and forces you to go in circles. You know the way out but you choose to complain and fret that I have left you or that I have forgotten you. You weary Me with your, "what IFs" and your, "what abouts".
Don't you understand, that facing giants, is My way of bringing you close to Me? When will you lay everything aside for Me? How dark do I need to make it before you will see the light?
If you will fall madly in love with Me, everything in your life will work out. If you choose to rejoice only in good times and curse the darkness you will remain in the wilderness. I have given you favor in high places that you might radiate My glory and take dominion. Whenever I am doing a new thing with My people, I must lead them through a valley, to the base of a new mountain.
You ask, when will the valleys end? Never in your lifetime. If you refuse to go to the next mountain, your valley will be permanent. If you choose to stop following Me your valley will be eternal. If you walk with Me through each valley, one day you will thank Me for the valleys. It is in the valley of decision that I am closer to you than at any other time.
When you come to a place where you do not waver as you cross from mountain to mountain, you will effect every person who comes in contact with you. Seek My face for your next move, and your next, and your next. Never make a move unless I make the path known by My peace.
To this point you have only been able to view My glory through the western window of comfort. You have yet to walk in My glory and carry it to the streets. Men in the market place do not yet weep when you pass by, because you are carrying so My of My presence. You have not yet striven unto blood. Break the window at the edge of your comfort zone, and push past any fears of hardship, by centering your love and thoughts on Me and My kingdom.
I have so much for you on the other side of the window. Stop saying, I'm afraid, I'm so afraid I can't sleep, or I can't eat, get a grip and realize that I can't do any more with you in your comfort zone. Radical is on the other side of the glass and desperation breaks it. If you want miracles get in a place where you need them and abandon yourself to Me.
I am moving on, do not let the western comfort window imprison you. Determine in yourself, not to make another trip around the mountain, with your moaning, and murmuring self pity. Your fear is not only imprisoning you, look behind you, your family and friends are following you. As you fall in love with Me, you will become desperate enough to break the window and come be with Me in My presence where favor and miracles are the norm and life will be exciting.
Hebrews 12:3-9 (AMP)
Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials, so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. [4] You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood. [5] And have you completely forgotten the divine word of appeal and encouragement in which you are reasoned with and addressed as sons? My son, do not think lightly or scorn to submit to the correction and discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage and give up and faint when you are reproved or corrected by Him; [6] For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. [7] You must submit to and endure correction for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not thus train and correct and discipline? [8] Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all of God''s children share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons at all. [9] Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded to them and respected them for training us. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so truly live?
Exodus 16:8 (KJV)
And Moses said, This shall be , when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord .
Numbers 14:27-32 (AMP)
How long will this evil congregation murmur against Me? I have heard the complaints the Israelites murmur against Me. [28] Tell them, As I live, says the Lord, what you have said in My hearing I will do to you: [29] Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness--of all who were numbered of you, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, [30] Surely none shall come into the land in which I swore to make you dwell, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. [31] But your little ones whom you said would be a prey, them will I bring in and they shall know the land which you have despised and rejected. [32] But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
2 Timothy 2:3-6 (AMP)
Take with me your share of the hardships and suffering which you are called to endure as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. [4] No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of civilian life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him. [5] And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down). [6] It is the hard-working farmer who labors to produce who must be the first partaker of the fruits.
Matthew 6:31-33 (AMP)
Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? [32] For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. [33] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
Matthew 22:37-40 (AMP)
And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). [38] This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself. [40] These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets.
Psalm 20:7 (AMP)
Some trust in and boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God.
Psalm 106:3-5 (KJV)
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. [4] Remember me, O Lord , with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; [5] That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
Proverbs 3:3-6 (AMP)
Let not mercy and kindness shutting out all hatred and selfishness and truth shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. [4] So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight or judgment of God and man. [5] Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. [6] In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Matthew 11:12,15 (AMP)
And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force as a precious prize--a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion. [15] He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.
James 2:18-23 (AMP)
But someone will say to you then, You say you have faith, and I have good works. Now you show me your alleged faith apart from any good works if you can, and I by good works of obedience will show you my faith. [19] You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder in terror and horror such as make a man''s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin! [20] Are you willing to be shown proof, you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from good works is inactive and ineffective and worthless? [21] Was not our forefather Abraham shown to be justified (made acceptable to God) by his works when he brought to the altar as an offering his own son Isaac? [22] You see that his faith was cooperating with his works, and his faith was completed and reached its supreme expression when he implemented it by good works. [23] And so the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God''s will in thought and he was called God''s friend
Habakkuk 2:13-14 (AMP)
Behold, is it not by appointment of the Lord of hosts that the nations toil only to satisfy the fire that will consume their work, and the peoples weary themselves only for emptiness, falsity, and futility? [14] But the time is coming when the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Romans 8:17-19 (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. [18] But what of that? For I 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! [19] For even the whole creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God''s sons to be made known waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship.
STOP GRIPING AND CLAIM THE FAVOR I PROMISED

To this point you have only been able to view My glory through the western window of comfort. You have yet to walk in My glory and carry it to the streets. Men in the market place do not yet weep when you pass by, because you are carrying so My of My presence. You have not yet striven unto blood. Break the window at the edge of your comfort zone, and push past any fears of hardship, by centering your love and thoughts on Me and My kingdom.
I have so much for you on the other side of the window. Stop saying, I'm afraid, I'm so afraid I can't sleep, or I can't eat, get a grip and realize that I can't do any more with you in your comfort zone. Radical is on the other side of the glass and desperation breaks it. If you want miracles get in a place where you need them and abandon yourself to Me.
I am moving on, do not let the western comfort window imprison you. Determine in yourself, not to make another trip around the mountain, with your moaning, and murmuring self pity. Your fear is not only imprisoning you, look behind you, your family and friends are following you. As you fall in love with Me, you will become desperate enough to break the window and come be with Me in My presence where favor and miracles are the norm and life will be exciting.
Hebrews 12:3-9 (AMP)
Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials, so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. [4] You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood. [5] And have you completely forgotten the divine word of appeal and encouragement in which you are reasoned with and addressed as sons? My son, do not think lightly or scorn to submit to the correction and discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage and give up and faint when you are reproved or corrected by Him; [6] For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. [7] You must submit to and endure correction for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not thus train and correct and discipline? [8] Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all of God''s children share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons at all. [9] Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded to them and respected them for training us. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so truly live?
Exodus 16:8 (KJV)
And Moses said, This shall be , when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord .
Numbers 14:27-32 (AMP)
How long will this evil congregation murmur against Me? I have heard the complaints the Israelites murmur against Me. [28] Tell them, As I live, says the Lord, what you have said in My hearing I will do to you: [29] Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness--of all who were numbered of you, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, [30] Surely none shall come into the land in which I swore to make you dwell, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. [31] But your little ones whom you said would be a prey, them will I bring in and they shall know the land which you have despised and rejected. [32] But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
2 Timothy 2:3-6 (AMP)
Take with me your share of the hardships and suffering which you are called to endure as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. [4] No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of civilian life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him. [5] And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down). [6] It is the hard-working farmer who labors to produce who must be the first partaker of the fruits.
Matthew 6:31-33 (AMP)
Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? [32] For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. [33] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
Matthew 22:37-40 (AMP)
And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). [38] This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. [39] And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself. [40] These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets.
Psalm 20:7 (AMP)
Some trust in and boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God.
Psalm 106:3-5 (KJV)
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. [4] Remember me, O Lord , with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; [5] That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
Proverbs 3:3-6 (AMP)
Let not mercy and kindness shutting out all hatred and selfishness and truth shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. [4] So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight or judgment of God and man. [5] Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. [6] In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Matthew 11:12,15 (AMP)
And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force as a precious prize--a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion. [15] He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.
James 2:18-23 (AMP)
But someone will say to you then, You say you have faith, and I have good works. Now you show me your alleged faith apart from any good works if you can, and I by good works of obedience will show you my faith. [19] You believe that God is one; you do well. So do the demons believe and shudder in terror and horror such as make a man''s hair stand on end and contract the surface of his skin! [20] Are you willing to be shown proof, you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from good works is inactive and ineffective and worthless? [21] Was not our forefather Abraham shown to be justified (made acceptable to God) by his works when he brought to the altar as an offering his own son Isaac? [22] You see that his faith was cooperating with his works, and his faith was completed and reached its supreme expression when he implemented it by good works. [23] And so the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God''s will in thought and he was called God''s friend
Habakkuk 2:13-14 (AMP)
Behold, is it not by appointment of the Lord of hosts that the nations toil only to satisfy the fire that will consume their work, and the peoples weary themselves only for emptiness, falsity, and futility? [14] But the time is coming when the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Romans 8:17-19 (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. [18] But what of that? For I 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! [19] For even the whole creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God''s sons to be made known waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship.
