DON'T BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF YOUR CALLING!!!
I have placed a calling on your life, but do you understand that I have placed a calling on Myself also. Many people have manipulated their calling to fulfill their own lust or satisfy their flesh. Your calling will never be outside or beyond My calling. If your calling is not within the scope of Mine, you have perverted your calling and are a hinderance to My kingdom.
If I see a blatant disregard or distain for those I have been called to, your demise will come swiftly. Many foolish leaders, say they have been called to minister to the rich. This is outside My calling and they are filled with greed. They count offerings instead of souls and success is measured in dollars instead of the number of broken and contrite spirits, that have been developed.
The first dealings I have with the rich is to tell them to give it away. I cannot emphasize it enough, except for special Devine intervention it is impossible for a rich man to enter heaven. You are lying to them if you tell them anything else.
You have a burden for their money and influence and no real interest in them. If those same people dressed up in a rags costume and smelled bad, your burden would be greatly diminished and turn to judgment.
Please do not attempt to lie to Me, for I know your every thought and the very intent of your heart. I know what motivates you, and where your heart is, at every given moment. Why do some of you try to bring Me to your level and attempt to manipulate My calling? You will be held in contempt of your calling.
Plain and simple here is My calling and if yours differs from Mine you are a hinderance and will be held in contempt of your calling.
Luke 4:18-20 (KJV)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. [20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luke 4:18-20 (AMP)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me the Anointed One, the Messiah to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity, [19] To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound. [20] Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing attentively at Him.
Proverbs 19:17 (KJV)
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Exodus 22:22-24 (KJV)
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. [23] If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; [24] And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
James 1:27 (AMP)
External religious worship religion as it is expressed in outward acts that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.
Mark 10:23-27 (KJV)
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! [25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [26] And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? [27] And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Luke 14:12-24 (AMP)
Jesus also said to the man who had invited Him, When you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they also invite you in return, and so you are paid back. [13] But when you give a banquet or a reception, invite the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind. [14] Then you will be blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied), because they have no way of repaying you, and you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just (upright). [15] When one of those who reclined at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! [16] But Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many; [17] And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready. [18] But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I have to go out and see it; I beg you, have me excused. [19] And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine and put my approval on them; I beg you, have me excused. [20] And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come. [21] So the servant came and reported these answers to his master. Then the master of the house said in wrath to his servant, Go quickly into the great streets and the small streets of the city and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame. [22] And the servant returning said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room. [23] Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain them to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled. [24] For I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall taste my supper.
Matthew 18:4-6 (AMP)
Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me. [6] But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in and acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin that is, who entices him or hinders him in right conduct or thought, it would be better (more expedient and profitable or advantageous) for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 11:4-6 (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: [5] The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. [6] And blessed is he , whosoever shall not be offended in me.
James 5:1-8 (KJV)
Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you . [2] Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. [3] Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. [4] Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. [5] Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. [6] Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. [7] Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. [8] Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Luke 19:8-10 (KJV)
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. [9] And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. [10] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
IF YOU ARE CATERING TO THE RICH YOU HAVE PERVERTED MY CALLING TO FULFILL YOUR OWN LUST, REPENT NOW BEFORE I REMOVE YOU!!!

SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR VS. SOMETHING TO DIE FOR
SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR VS. SOMETHING TO DIE FOR
When I walked the earth two thousand years ago, I stayed thirty-three years. The first 30 years were in preparation for the remaining three. I had one thing to live for, to demonstrate the kingdom, with all it's wisdom, majesty, and power.
Everyone that chooses to follow Me, from that very moment they have something to live for. That is to, Demonstrate, Demonstrate, Demonstrate. This is why you are left on the earth, after your salvation. Hundreds of daily demonstrations of: how to love, how to give, how to rejoice, how to weep, how to forgive, how to overcome temptation, how to break strongholds, how to pray, how to intercede, how to share, how to speak, how to obtain, how to cry, how to leave, how to enter, how to build up and how to tear down.
Demonstrate: how to correct, how to obey, how to take direction, how to labor, how to eat, how to fast, how to rest, how to hear, how to discipline, how to receive discipline, how to spend, and be spent, how to destroy darkness, how to expand the light, how to fight, how to surrender, how to create, how to walk, how to be tender, how to be faithful, how to cancel, how to establish, how to change, how to stand strong, how to cover, how to expose, and finally how to die a winner!!!
But first you must learn how to do it yourself and that means you must have demonstrators to show you. How many of these things, have you been able to consistently demonstrate?
How many of these things, have been consistently demonstrated to you?
Now do you understand why I need laborers? Do you understand why it takes so long to prepare a bride for My son?
Babylon and the territory she influences consistently demonstrate pure selfishness that teaches, get all you can and can all you can get. Tear down your barns and build bigger, to store up for yourselves on earth. It teaches that the poor, deserve poverty, and the rich rule. It teaches survival of the fittest, and if it feels good do it. It says, lust is healthy and faithfulness is old fashion.
Babylon brags on it's ability to deceive and take advantage, of the weak. How to kill, rob and destroy others, but never offend them, unless they belong to My kingdom. This is where Babylon teaches and demonstrates intolerance for holiness and unbelievable tolerance for gross sin.
I have left you in this kind of world, to lead millions, who have been educated in Babylon, into the land of true liberty, the kingdom of God. How can you teach, unless you have been taught. I have sent My Holy Spirit into the world, to teach you, but you must turn off the TV and listen to Him. You have so many toys to play with, that every spare moment is filled with meaningless activity. Others just work, work, work to maintain a lifestyle of the Babylonians.
Live as simple as you can, you need only the essentials on earth. Your stay is only temporary, I have your permanent residence here in My kingdom. I am building with what you send Me. Some of you have sent Me nothing to work with.
The something to die for is you. There are very few things worth dying for, but you are one of them. If I had not died for you, man would have self destructed long ago. But because I made a way for heaven to dwell on earth in the hearts of men, this allows My spirit to restrain sin and evil. Conviction is present in Babylon because of My power and life in believers. The reason there is not wholesale murder, rape and thievery, world wide, is because of My Spirit of Holiness restraining wicked men, through the presence of believers.
There are somethings you are required to die for, if you are going to be a kingdom demonstrator. I died to pay for your sin which was something only I could do. However you must die to yourself in order to demonstrate the attributes of My kingdom. If you cannot submit all your dreams, hope and personal ambitions, to Me, you cannot be a kingdom demonstrator. You will eventually loose all your savor, and counted good for nothing, suitable for tramping under foot.
Living as the Babylonians do, will cost you everything, in the kingdom. Unload the burdens of material goods, trim your life to only the absolute necessities, strive to excuse yourself from any contract that forces you to live a Babylon lifestyle. Get alone with Me and I will begin to rearrange your thinking and lifestyle as you voluntarily die to self. Then I can promote you to a kingdom demonstrator. Trust Me, it's worth dying for!
Philippians 1:21 (KJV)
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:21 (AMP)
For me to live is Christ His life in me, and to die is gain the gain of the glory of eternity.
1 Corinthians 2:4-8 (AMP)
And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them, [5] So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God. [6] Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a higher wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away. [7] But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden from the human understanding and now revealed to us by God--that wisdom which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification to lift us into the glory of His presence. [8] None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.
John 17:14-21 (KJV)
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. [16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. [18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. [19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; [21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Hebrews 12:1 (AMP)
THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who have borne testimony to the Truth, let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,
John 11:49-53 (AMP)
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year, declared, You know nothing at all! [50] Nor do you understand or reason out that it is expedient and better for your own welfare that one man should die on behalf of the people than that the whole nation should perish (be destroyed, ruined). [51] Now he did not say this simply of his own accord he was not self-moved; but being the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation, [52] And not only for the nation but also for the purpose of uniting into one body the children of God who have been scattered far and wide. [53] So from that day on they took counsel and plotted together how they might put Him to death.
John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 10:15-18 (AMP)
Even as truly as the Father knows Me and I also know the Father--and I am giving My very own life and laying it down on behalf of the sheep. [16] And I have other sheep beside these that are not of this fold. I must bring and impel those also; and they will listen to My voice and heed My call, and so there will be they will become one flock under one Shepherd. [17] For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My own life--to take it back again. [18] No one takes it away from Me. On the contrary, I lay it down voluntarily. I put it from Myself. I am authorized and have power to lay it down (to resign it) and I am authorized and have power to take it back again. These are the instructions (orders) which I have received as My charge from My Father.
Matthew 16:24-26 (AMP)
Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests and take up his cross and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also. [25] For whoever is bent on saving his temporal life his comfort and security here shall lose it eternal life; and whoever loses his life his comfort and security here for My sake shall find it life everlasting. [26] For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life his blessed life in the kingdom of God? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his blessed life in the kingdom of God?
1 Peter 2:12 (AMP)
Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, yet they may by witnessing your good deeds come to glorify God in the day of inspection when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock.
Ephesians 4:17-32 (KJV)
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: [19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. [20] But ye have not so learned Christ; [21] If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: [22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. [25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. [26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: [27] Neither give place to the devil. [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. [29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Micah 6:8 (AMP)
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?
1 John 5:4 (KJV)
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Revelation 21:7 (KJV)
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
1 Timothy 4:12 (AMP)
Let no one despise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example (pattern) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.

THE RESULT OF THE PERSECUTION OF LUXURY
THE RESULT OF THE PERSECUTION OF LUXURY
My kingdom is gigantic and filled with wonder. I have millions of citizens in the kingdom. There are many more to be added. Most of those who yet remain on earth, especially in the western cultures, are still in preparation for citizenship. I have few laborers, to do the preparing of newborns, teaching by example, the ways of the kingdom. To compensate for the lack of workers, I move some gifted laborers from place to place to impart kingdom principles.
I requested you to pray for more laborers, but it is not high on your priority list. Therefore, there is a shortage of laborers. I move people from place to place and person to person, with a variety of gifts, to ensure that the body in the west, keeps moving toward maturity. I would that each local body, had all the gifts in operation, but luxury and ease, have greatly hampered the maturing of western believers. The gifts have been prostituted, to increase luxury, instead of mature the saints.
Where persecution abounds, I have no shortage of laborers. Real persecution produces maturity, much faster than western perceived persecution does. Because of the shortage of laborers in the west, when a believer, reaches an understanding of kingdom, I find it necessary to move them from place to place, to demonstrate kingdom life. Because persecution is so seldom in the western culture, kingdom maturity is very slow in developing. An eastern teenager who has undergone persecution for My sake, is more mature than most pastors in the western world. A kingdom depth of commitment, filters through ever fiber of their body, soul and spirit, while undergoing real persecution.
In the west, they cry persecution when the offerings are down. In the east they cry, Jesus loves you, while being hung upside down for hours. In the west they rebuke the devil for giving them a flat tire, while in the east they praise Me for the privilege of being beaten and going to prison for preaching the gospel. In the west when a Christian is arrested for doing good it makes national headlines. In the east when a christian is released from prison, it makes headlines.
In western Christianity, taking people to court and suing them, for some inconvenience or pain someone caused, is normal. In eastern Christianity witnessing and sharing My love with the executioner, before they are executed, is the norm. To think that these will share the same rewards in My kingdom is insanity. One causes me to rejoice, while the other I want to spit out. My kingdom coming to the west is much slower and more difficult than the east.
Maturity will speed up in the west, as persecution increases. Rejoice and be glad for the gray areas will disappear as you see the real Christians stand up, and the luke warm fall away. This separation of wheat and chaff will bring true revival. Pray that I send laborers to the west, I am transferring some from the east to demonstrate the kingdom reaction to persecution.
The reason people don't pray for laborers, rests in the fact, they, themselves, are not part of the labor force yet. If you are laboring night and day without enough help, you will be crying out, for Me to send more workers. Join the labor force yourself, before praying for labors.
Matthew 9:35-38 (AMP)
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. [36] When He saw the throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd. [37] 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 5:10-12 (AMP)
Blessed and happy and enviably fortunate and spiritually prosperous (in the state in which the born-again child of God enjoys and finds satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of his outward conditions) are those who are persecuted for righteousness'' sake (for being and doing right), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! [11] Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account. [12] Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for in this same way people persecuted the prophets who were before you. II Chron. 36:16.
John 15:20-21 (AMP)
Remember that I told you, A servant is not greater than his master is not superior to him. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word and obeyed My teachings, they will also keep and obey yours. [21] But they will do all this to you inflict all this suffering on you because of your bearing My name and on My account, for they do not know or understand the One Who sent Me.
John 17:9-11,14-21 (AMP)
I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You. [10] All things that are Mine are Yours, and all things that are Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. They have done Me honor; in them My glory is achieved. [11] And now I am no more in the world, but these are still in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep in Your Name in the knowledge of Yourself those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are one. [14] I have given and delivered to them Your word (message) and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world do not belong to the world, just as I am not of the world. [15] I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. [16] They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), just as I am not of the world. [17] Sanctify them purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. [18] Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. [19] And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth. [20] Neither for these alone do I pray it is not for their sake only that I make this request, but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, [21] That they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.
Matthew 24:8-14 (AMP)
All this is but the beginning the early pains of the birth pangs of the intolerable anguish. [9] Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name''s sake. [10] And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert Him Whom they ought to trust and obey and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred. [11] And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. [12] And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, [13] But he who endures to the end will be saved. [14] And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
Revelation 3:16-18 (AMP)
So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth! [17] For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [18] Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be truly wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
Revelation 14:12-16 (AMP)
Here comes in a call for the steadfastness of the saints the patience, the endurance of the people of God, those who habitually keep God''s commandments and their faith in Jesus. [13] Then I heard further perceiving the distinct words of a voice from heaven, saying, Write this: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are the dead from now on who die in the Lord! Yes, blessed (happy, to be envied indeed), says the Spirit, in that they may rest from their labors, for their works (deeds) do follow (attend, accompany) them! [14] Again I looked, and behold, I saw a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud One resembling a Son of Man, with a crown of gold on His head and a sharp scythe (sickle) in His hand. [15] And another angel came out of the temple sanctuary, calling with a mighty voice to Him Who was sitting upon the cloud, Put in Your scythe and reap, for the hour has arrived to gather the harvest, for the earth''s crop is fully ripened. [16] So He Who was sitting upon the cloud swung His scythe (sickle) on the earth, and the earth''s crop was harvested.
2 Corinthians 4:7-12,16-18 (KJV)
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. [8] We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [10] Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. [11] For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. [12] So then death worketh in us, but life in you. [16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Matthew 7:21-27 (AMP)
Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. [22] Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? [23] And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands. [24] So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them obeying them will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock. [25] And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. [26] 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.
Matthew 6:10 (KJV)
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

THE VERY DISTURBING FACTOR
THE VERY DISTURBING FACTOR
Comfort zones pamper the flesh, they are places that lul you to sleep. Zones, where complacency feels spiritual, and a "somebody else will do it" attitude prevails. I despise comfort zones. My kingdom is always moving, pushing back the kingdom of darkness, on a constant basis. There is a big difference between comfort and rest.
Rest is moving forward in Me, and comfort is hiding in what feels good. Comfort is when you step back, when a need is presented, hoping no one will notice you. Yet comfort steps forward and loves to be noticed when complements are being given out. The comfort zone is where talk is cheap and kingdom life is nonexistent. Faith turns to fear in the middle of a comfort zone.
Fear that causes the "what IF" syndrome, to dominate every challenge and need presented, offering every excuse, in order to remain undisturbed. What IF? I get sick...loose my savings...can't pay my bills...get arrested...become a laughing stock...get lost...get mugged, robbed or beaten...loose my pension...my wife leaves me...my husband leaves me...I loose my job...my kids turn against me...WHAT IF??? WHAT IF??? WHAT IF???
Medical benefits, insurance programs, pensions, savings accounts, high paying jobs, big mortgages, credit card debt, and loan payments are all shackles that My people have chained themselves too, keeping them locked in comfort zones. The shackles are the "what ifs".
One of the biggest complaints I hear coming from comfort zones is, "how come God doesn't do any miracles for me". The only miracle seen in a comfort zone is My disturbing factor. The miracle is that, I love my people so much, I come into their fleshly comfort zones, making them uncomfortable, so they will leave, move out, to a place, where miracles are needed just to survive.
There is a work to be done, there are multitudes in the valley of decision, but the laborers are few, especially in the western world. I am setting My laborers free, by making you uncomfortable. I am taking away your high paying jobs, canceling insurance, and spending pensions.
There will be no more waiting until retirement before you consider My call. I am breaking that chain by removing retirements. There will be No more running to the emergency room, instead, the elders will once again be called on, to pray for the sick. The elders, will become more than a group of men, meeting once a month to figure how to pay bills. They will learn how to pray the prayer of faith, because peoples lives will depend on it.
My people will once again sell their belongs, in order to share with their brothers and sisters, having all things common. Instead of food stamps, My people will depend on Me for their daily bread. I am turning over every table in your comfort zone, turning My Father's temples into houses of prayer once again. You will feel My whip of correction and conviction, every time you turn to the world instead of Me, for anything. Every comfort zone will be shaken to pieces, because I will have a people that trust in Me and Me alone. They will be called by My name and I will dwell among them.
Joel 3:13-14 (KJV)
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
Revelation 3:17-20 (AMP)
For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [18] Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be truly wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see. [19] Those whom I dearly and tenderly love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten I discipline and instruct them. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent changing your mind and attitude. [20] Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he will eat with Me.
Psalm 20:7-9 (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. [8] They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright. [9] O Lord, give victory; let the King answer us when we call.
Isaiah 32:5-20 (AMP)
The fool (the unbeliever and the ungodly) will no more be called noble, nor the crafty and greedy for gain said to be bountiful and princely. [6] For the fool speaks folly and his mind plans iniquity: practicing profane ungodliness and speaking error concerning the Lord, leaving the craving of the hungry unsatisfied and causing the drink of the thirsty to fail. [7] The instruments and methods of the fraudulent and greedy for gain are evil; he devises wicked devices to ruin the poor and the lowly with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is just and right. [8] But the noble, openhearted, and liberal man devises noble things; and he stands for what is noble, openhearted, and generous. [9] Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my Isaiah''s voice, you confident and careless daughters! Listen to what I am saying! [10] In little more than a year you will be shaken with anxiety, you careless and complacent women; for the vintage will fail, and the ingathering will not come. [11] Tremble, you women who are at ease! Shudder with fear, you complacent ones! Strip yourselves bare and gird sackcloth upon your loins in grief! [12] They shall beat upon their breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine, [13] For the land of my people growing over with thorns and briers--yes, for all the houses of joy in the joyous city. [14] For the palace shall be forsaken, the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watchtower shall become dens for wild animals endlessly, a joy for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks, [15] Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is valued as a forest. [16] Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) will abide in the fruitful field. [17] And the effect of righteousness will be peace internal and external, and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever. [18] My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places. [19] But it the wrath of the Lord shall hail, coming down overpoweringly on the forest the army of the Assyrians, and the capital city shall be utterly humbled and laid prostrate. [20] Happy and fortunate are you who cast your seed upon all waters when the river overflows its banks; for the seed will sink into the mud and when the waters subside, the plant will spring up; you will find it after many days and reap an abundant harvest, you who safely send forth the ox and the donkey to range freely.
James 5:14-15 (KJV)
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: [15] And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
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.
Matthew 6:11 (AMP)
Give us this day our daily bread.
John 2:14-17 (AMP)
There He found in the temple enclosure those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there also at their stands. [15] And having made a lash (a whip) of cords, He drove them all out of the temple enclosure--both the sheep and the oxen--spilling and scattering the brokers'' money and upsetting and tossing around their trays (their stands). [16] Then to those who sold the doves He said, Take these things away (out of here)! Make not My Father''s house a house of merchandise (a marketplace, a sales shop)! [17] And His disciples remembered that it is written in the Holy Scriptures, Zeal (the fervor of love) for Your house will eat Me up. I will be consumed with jealousy for the honor of Your house.
Amos 6:1,4,6-8 (AMP)
WOE TO those who are at ease in Zion and to those on the mountain of Samaria who are careless and feel secure, the notable men of the chief because chosen by God of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes! [4] Woe to those who lie upon beds of ivory and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock and the calves out of the midst of the stall, [6] Who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved and sick at heart over the affliction and ruin of Joseph (Israel)! [7] Therefore now shall they go captive with the first who go into exile, and the revelry and banqueting of those who stretch themselves shall be ended. [8] The Lord God has sworn by Himself--the Lord, the God of hosts, says: I abhor, reject, and despise the pride and false, futile glory of Jacob (Israel), and I hate his palaces and strongholds; and I will deliver up the city idol-worshiping Samaria with all that is in it.
Hebrews 12:6-13 (KJV)
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. [12] Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; [13] And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Matthew 9:35-38 (AMP)
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. [36] When He saw the throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd. [37] 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.
Luke 12:19-23 (AMP)
And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, enough for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily. [20] But God said to him, You fool! This very night they the messengers of God will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be? [21] So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich in his relation to God this is how he fares. [22] And Jesus said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled with cares about your life, as to what you will have to eat; or about your body, as to what you will have to wear. [23] For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Jeremiah 32:36-44 (AMP)
And now therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and by famine and by pestilence: [37] Behold, I will gather them out of all countries to which I drove them in My anger and in My wrath and in great indignation; I will bring them again to this place, and I will make them dwell safely. [38] And they will be My people, and I will be their God. [39] And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may reverently fear Me forever for the good of themselves and of their children after them. [40] And I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will not turn away from following them to do them good, and I will put My reverential fear in their hearts, so that they will not depart from Me. [41] Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly and in truth with My whole heart and with My whole being. [42] For thus says the Lord: As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. [43] And fields shall be bought in this land of which you say, It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans. [44] Men shall buy fields for money and shall sign deeds, seal them, and call witnesses in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South (the Negeb), for I will cause them to be released from their exile, says the Lord.
Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Comfort zones pamper the flesh, they are places that lul you to sleep. Zones, where complacency feels spiritual, and a "somebody else will do it" attitude prevails. I despise comfort zones. My kingdom is always moving, pushing back the kingdom of darkness, on a constant basis. There is a big difference between comfort and rest.
Rest is moving forward in Me, and comfort is hiding in what feels good. Comfort is when you step back, when a need is presented, hoping no one will notice you. Yet comfort steps forward and loves to be noticed when complements are being given out. The comfort zone is where talk is cheap and kingdom life is nonexistent. Faith turns to fear in the middle of a comfort zone.
Fear that causes the "what IF" syndrome, to dominate every challenge and need presented, offering every excuse, in order to remain undisturbed. What IF? I get sick...loose my savings...can't pay my bills...get arrested...become a laughing stock...get lost...get mugged, robbed or beaten...loose my pension...my wife leaves me...my husband leaves me...I loose my job...my kids turn against me...WHAT IF??? WHAT IF??? WHAT IF???
Medical benefits, insurance programs, pensions, savings accounts, high paying jobs, big mortgages, credit card debt, and loan payments are all shackles that My people have chained themselves too, keeping them locked in comfort zones. The shackles are the "what ifs".
One of the biggest complaints I hear coming from comfort zones is, "how come God doesn't do any miracles for me". The only miracle seen in a comfort zone is My disturbing factor. The miracle is that, I love my people so much, I come into their fleshly comfort zones, making them uncomfortable, so they will leave, move out, to a place, where miracles are needed just to survive.
There is a work to be done, there are multitudes in the valley of decision, but the laborers are few, especially in the western world. I am setting My laborers free, by making you uncomfortable. I am taking away your high paying jobs, canceling insurance, and spending pensions.
There will be no more waiting until retirement before you consider My call. I am breaking that chain by removing retirements. There will be No more running to the emergency room, instead, the elders will once again be called on, to pray for the sick. The elders, will become more than a group of men, meeting once a month to figure how to pay bills. They will learn how to pray the prayer of faith, because peoples lives will depend on it.
My people will once again sell their belongs, in order to share with their brothers and sisters, having all things common. Instead of food stamps, My people will depend on Me for their daily bread. I am turning over every table in your comfort zone, turning My Father's temples into houses of prayer once again. You will feel My whip of correction and conviction, every time you turn to the world instead of Me, for anything. Every comfort zone will be shaken to pieces, because I will have a people that trust in Me and Me alone. They will be called by My name and I will dwell among them.
Joel 3:13-14 (KJV)
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
Revelation 3:17-20 (AMP)
For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [18] Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be truly wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see. [19] Those whom I dearly and tenderly love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten I discipline and instruct them. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent changing your mind and attitude. [20] Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he will eat with Me.
Psalm 20:7-9 (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. [8] They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright. [9] O Lord, give victory; let the King answer us when we call.
Isaiah 32:5-20 (AMP)
The fool (the unbeliever and the ungodly) will no more be called noble, nor the crafty and greedy for gain said to be bountiful and princely. [6] For the fool speaks folly and his mind plans iniquity: practicing profane ungodliness and speaking error concerning the Lord, leaving the craving of the hungry unsatisfied and causing the drink of the thirsty to fail. [7] The instruments and methods of the fraudulent and greedy for gain are evil; he devises wicked devices to ruin the poor and the lowly with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is just and right. [8] But the noble, openhearted, and liberal man devises noble things; and he stands for what is noble, openhearted, and generous. [9] Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my Isaiah''s voice, you confident and careless daughters! Listen to what I am saying! [10] In little more than a year you will be shaken with anxiety, you careless and complacent women; for the vintage will fail, and the ingathering will not come. [11] Tremble, you women who are at ease! Shudder with fear, you complacent ones! Strip yourselves bare and gird sackcloth upon your loins in grief! [12] They shall beat upon their breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine, [13] For the land of my people growing over with thorns and briers--yes, for all the houses of joy in the joyous city. [14] For the palace shall be forsaken, the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watchtower shall become dens for wild animals endlessly, a joy for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks, [15] Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is valued as a forest. [16] Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) will abide in the fruitful field. [17] And the effect of righteousness will be peace internal and external, and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever. [18] My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places. [19] But it the wrath of the Lord shall hail, coming down overpoweringly on the forest the army of the Assyrians, and the capital city shall be utterly humbled and laid prostrate. [20] Happy and fortunate are you who cast your seed upon all waters when the river overflows its banks; for the seed will sink into the mud and when the waters subside, the plant will spring up; you will find it after many days and reap an abundant harvest, you who safely send forth the ox and the donkey to range freely.
James 5:14-15 (KJV)
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: [15] And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
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.
Matthew 6:11 (AMP)
Give us this day our daily bread.
John 2:14-17 (AMP)
There He found in the temple enclosure those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there also at their stands. [15] And having made a lash (a whip) of cords, He drove them all out of the temple enclosure--both the sheep and the oxen--spilling and scattering the brokers'' money and upsetting and tossing around their trays (their stands). [16] Then to those who sold the doves He said, Take these things away (out of here)! Make not My Father''s house a house of merchandise (a marketplace, a sales shop)! [17] And His disciples remembered that it is written in the Holy Scriptures, Zeal (the fervor of love) for Your house will eat Me up. I will be consumed with jealousy for the honor of Your house.
Amos 6:1,4,6-8 (AMP)
WOE TO those who are at ease in Zion and to those on the mountain of Samaria who are careless and feel secure, the notable men of the chief because chosen by God of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes! [4] Woe to those who lie upon beds of ivory and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock and the calves out of the midst of the stall, [6] Who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved and sick at heart over the affliction and ruin of Joseph (Israel)! [7] Therefore now shall they go captive with the first who go into exile, and the revelry and banqueting of those who stretch themselves shall be ended. [8] The Lord God has sworn by Himself--the Lord, the God of hosts, says: I abhor, reject, and despise the pride and false, futile glory of Jacob (Israel), and I hate his palaces and strongholds; and I will deliver up the city idol-worshiping Samaria with all that is in it.
Hebrews 12:6-13 (KJV)
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

THE FUEL AND OCTANE OF THE HUMAN ENGINE
THE FUEL AND OCTANE OF THE HUMAN ENGINE
Nothing moves without a force to push or pull it and maintain it's forward or backward motion. The greater force will succeed in overcoming the lesser therefore a direction eventually will be established. It does not take a very intelligent person to see the direction or lack of direction in another persons life. However one's own is very hard to observe.
The engine that moves the triune human, (body, soul and spirit) is called motivation. The engine size varies from a single cylinder to a twelve cylinder. There are some that move very slow and steady without a great deal of attention. There are others that move fast and have great power, making a lot of noise and carrying heavy loads every day. Most engines cannot keep up with the rare 12 cylinder engine.
None of these are the important issue to Me. I am only interested in the fuel that keeps the engine running. There is one fuel, and two refineries, with many choices of octane. The refineries are located in hell and heaven. The fuel is love and the octane is faith. The most popular love fuel refined in hell is love of self, most human engines run well on it. People are always trying to boost their octane level, working to build self esteem, and ever increasing faith in themselves.
The most popular of all of hell's fuels on earth is love of self , with high octane fear. Engines running on this fuel are on the same highway, side by side, with engines running on fuel refined in heaven. The engines sound exactly the same and only I know which fuel is in the tanks. Even the engine is not aware of the origin or nature of it's fuel.
If you are not careful to wait for My guidance, you may be filling up, using hell's pump or you will join together with someone who is running on hell's most popular fuel and in that case, My cargo will never reach it's destination.
The sweetest, kindest little lady, running on hell's fuel, can cause a multiple car crash that kills and hurts hundreds. Remember they appear exactly the same, they are unaware of where their own fuel was refined. Only I have this knowledge. I separate and relocate My children who are using heaven's fuel, for this reason. Those running on heavens fuel, are at a loss to explain why they are being moved, they just know they are. I am protecting them and My cargo from being destroyed.
There were thousands of soldiers in Gideon's army that filled up on hell's fuel. I sifted the self loving and fearful out and ended up with only three hundred heaven fueled soldiers. Three hundred heaven fueled soldiers, defeated an army of thousands who were running on hell's fuel.
Larger engines, fueled from hell's refineries, run on the love of darkness, with high octane faith placed in the world system. Others have high octane lust, the octane level often increases to a level so high that the engine blows up. Hell's refining process takes the love for others and the love for Me and converts into love of self and love of darkness, which taken to it's end, is always hate. The saving of self means the death of someone else. To let or cause the death of others to save yourself is the root of all hate. If it's taken to it's extreme, mass murder or even genocide will occur.
There are millions of humans that have run out of fuel or were never given any to begin with, they sit in human parking lots, staring into space or just sit and watch fueled humans go by. Some play video games night and day, they develop their own language expressing a disgust for life. Their goal each day is to get high on drugs, alcohol or sex, to escape the pain of boredom and going nowhere.
I am raising up people to become fuelers and re-fuelers to start the engines of these human beings. They will take cans of fuel from heaven's pumps to the human parking lots and start these potentially powerful engines and they will become a fleet, with a force that cannot be stopped.
Where did you fill up this morning. Each and every morning you must choose. If you neglect your meeting with Me, you will fill up at hell's pump, with the fuel of self love and high octane fear. If you do this month in and month out, you will crash and burn on the highway of life and may cause the death of many. If you see yourself, preferring yourself, you have hell's fuel in your tank. Syphon it out, and get with Me quickly, TODAY!
John 3:19 (AMP)
The basis of the judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil.
2 Timothy 3:2 (AMP)
For people will be lovers of self and utterly self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate greedy desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.
James 3:14-18 (KJV)
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. [15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. [16] For where envying and strife is , there is confusion and every evil work. [17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Mark 7:6 (KJV)
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Judges 7:2-7 (KJV)
And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. [3] Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. [4] And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. [5] So he brought down the people unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. [6] And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. [7] And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12-13 (AMP)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the immortal spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. [13] And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.
Nothing moves without a force to push or pull it and maintain it's forward or backward motion. The greater force will succeed in overcoming the lesser therefore a direction eventually will be established. It does not take a very intelligent person to see the direction or lack of direction in another persons life. However one's own is very hard to observe.

Syphon it out, and get with Me quickly, TODAY!
John 3:19 (AMP)
The basis of the judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil.
2 Timothy 3:2 (AMP)
For people will be lovers of self and utterly self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate greedy desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.
James 3:14-18 (KJV)
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. [15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. [16] For where envying and strife is , there is confusion and every evil work. [17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Mark 7:6 (KJV)
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Judges 7:2-7 (KJV)
And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. [3] Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. [4] And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. [5] So he brought down the people unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. [6] And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. [7] And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12-13 (AMP)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the immortal spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. [13] And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

SATAN BLESSES MY PEOPLE
SATAN BLESSES MY PEOPLE
Satan custom builds sophisticated weapons to pick off the best of My army. The number one weapon is designed so cunningly that the most dedicated of My children shoot themselves with it. The label is very deceiving, and and the manufacturer is mislabeled. It says, (Made in Heaven) when actually, underneath the label it says, (Remanufactured in hell).
Your flesh is going to rebel against the very idea, that this weapon was made in hell. But this is, life as I see it! And My perspective is the only way to view anything, because all things are judged from My perspective, and My judgements are true. The weapon is labeled, SUCCESS. The most sophisticated weapon hell ever designed. It is designed to penetrate deep into the human soul before exploding.
A great deal of preparation precedes the firing of this weapon. First he attempts to break his victims down by feeding them thousands of pieces of lying negative propaganda, declaring, (You are a failure) (You have nothing to show for your life) (You are broke) (You are going to die broke) (You are a laughing stock) (God really doesn't hear you) (you are not stable) (you are bi-polar) (you need help) (you need a doctor).
Thousands of hours, of night and day interrogation, (look at yourself, take a good look, you are a nobody) (you have nothing for you kids) (you are an all time looser) (maybe the preachers and pastors have been lying to you, all this time) (how do you know there is a heaven?) (Are you really sure God exists?) (Theologians, much smarter than you, say the bible is a myth) (you are too closed minded, to strict, give other religions a chance) (you know so many good people that don't believe in your God) (look how christians treat you)
Then at the perfect time, he fires the weapon, the phone rings, the chance in a million meeting, and finally an opportunity to show the world you really are a somebody. This is the final answer to years of prayer, God has finally come to your rescue. There is no need to pray about this, you are a thousand percent sure, this is God. Souls saved, money to pay for everything, and you being recognized as the hero you really, the spiritual giant you always dreamed you could be. Don't anyone dare say, "this is not God."
Success, success, finally success, is now the all consuming mindset of a totally sold out believer. Then confirmation comes, lie number one; money is a real sign of heavens approval. Lie number two; people start coming from everywhere. Lie number three; beautiful people, have tons of complements. Lie number four; more and more and more jobs, then more people, then more money, wow look at yourself now, you can be very proud, extremely proud.
Then the final lie number five; you really don't have time or need for the secret place with God anymore, you can see plainly that He is with you. Listen to what the people are saying, (now the positive propaganda) especially designed to finish off every victim, "your so anointed, your such a blessing, I wish I was like you, wish I was married to you, You are so close to God, what does it feel like, you were so powerful, if we ever lost you, I don't know what I would do"...
Hour after hour of relentless positive propaganda, to convince you, it's time to get rid of that closet, our meeting place, and make room for the success. The ultimate weapon has succeeded in killing the best, and most dedicated. The truth is, when you were at your lowest, heaven was declaring, what a great success you were. Listen carefully, Let Me reward you openly, not your enemy. Your rewards build Me up, not you, unless you decide you want your rewards on earth. On earth, you thought you were heading up, but in heaven we saw you headed down.
If there is ever anything, anything, anything, ANYTHING at all that is so sure, you don't need to pray about it, STOP EVERYTHING, the ultimate weapon has been fired at you, duck into the closest secret place, an clear it with Me first.
If it seem to good to be true, it could be made in hell.
To all My children I say, Keep the closet, do not tear it down, come inside with Me every day, and defeat the ultimate weapon, SUCCESS ON EARTH.
Matthew 4:1-11 (KJV)
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. [2] And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. [3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. [4] But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. [5] Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, [6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [8] Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; [9] And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. [10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. [11] Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Luke 6:26 (AMP)
Woe to (alas for) you when everyone speaks fairly and handsomely of you and praises you, for even so their forefathers did to the false prophets.
Revelation 3:17-18 (KJV)
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Psalm 27:10-14 (KJV)
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. [11] Teach me thy way, O Lord , and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. [12] Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. [13] I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. [14] Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord .

KINGDOM TRAINING CAMP
KINGDOM TRAINING CAMP
I am beginning to call volunteers to form an elite force in the earth. It is one that sounds non threatening to human beings, but shakes the kingdom of darkness to it's core. It's called, The Body Of Christ. No, you have not seen the Body Of Christ yet, you have seen thousands of saved body parts, all saying to another part, I have no need of thee!
My body is not disjointed, or scattered, but it is a very strong, tightly knit, uniform, living organism, that moves as one perfectly co-ordinated unit, at My direction. All parts are fully dependent, on each other living and moving and operating, fully in My love and power. All individuality melting into one super cell called the sons of God, whom I will manifest in these last days.
None considers anything his own, but along with himself, has turned everything over to Me, to be distributed to the body in order that it lack nothing. These have gone through years rigorous training, being broken with thousands of hurts, failures and disappointments. They have become immune to disappointments, and consider every temporal loss a heavenly gain.
You can scratch their furniture, dent their cars, spill food on their rugs, and they will not flinch, because all things have been given to me and material things have lost their value. All insults are considered blessings. You can call them names, curse them and spitefully use them and they will bless you in return. Each one prefers the other before himself. They are gentle and teachable, yet they have already mastered the art of living and dying in victory.
If you ask them, to walk a mile with you, two miles will be walked. If you sin in front of them, their presence will convict you. If there's a need, they meet it. They cannot feel the sting of death, nor do they fear it. They have reached the highest level of maturity on the planet, they they have mastered the art of controlling their tongue.
They are often accused of being in a cult, because most of them live in communities and they all have, all things in common. They are inseparable, because they are tightly knit together in love. They are feared, loved, hated, misunderstood, attacked, despised, rejected, admired, envied, and sought after, by all those who make the following statements;
"I am content to remain a body part, instead of a part of the body". "What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours". "A mans home is his castle". "I have my rights". "What's he or she doing here?". "Who invited them?" "Outer court yes, holy place maybe, holy of holies, can't do it, price is to great."
Classes are now open in the western world, I have invited many, but the lines are still very short. I am looking for students who will graduate and be presented to the world, as the manifested sons of God. No applicant will be turned away. However few will graduate, because the flesh dies very hard.
1 Corinthians 12:13-27 (KJV)
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. [14] For the body is not one member, but many. [15] If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? [16] And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? [17] If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? [18] But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. [19] And if they were all one member, where were the body? [20] But now are they many members, yet but one body. [21] And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. [22] Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: [23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. [24] For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: [25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. [26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. [27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians 3:1-15 (KJV)
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. [2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it , neither yet now are ye able. [3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? [4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? [5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? [6] I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. [7] So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. [8] Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. [9] For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. [10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] 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.
Acts 2:41-47 (KJV)
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] 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 4:29-37 (AMP)
And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants full freedom to declare Your message fearlessly, [30] While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. [31] And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage. [32] 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. [36] Now Joseph, a Levite and native of Cyprus who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, which interpreted means Son of Encouragement, [37] Sold a field which belonged to him and brought the sum of money and laid it at the feet of the apostles. Acts 5:1-5 (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. [3] But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to and attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and should in violation of your promise withdraw secretly and appropriate to your own use part of the price from the sale of the land? [4] As long as it remained unsold, was it not still your own? And even after it was sold, was not the money at your disposal and under your control? Why then, is it that you have proposed and purposed in your heart to do this thing? How could you have the heart to do such a deed? You have not simply lied to men playing false and showing yourself utterly deceitful but to God. [5] Upon hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great dread and terror took possession of all who heard of it.
Matthew 5:3-16 (KJV)
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you , and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
James 1:26-27 (KJV)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. [27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 3:1-18 (KJV)
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. [2] For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. [3] Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. [4] Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. [5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! [6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. [7] For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: [8] But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. [9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. [10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. [11] Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? [12] Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. [13] Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. [14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. [15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. [16] For where envying and strife is , there is confusion and every evil work. [17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
I am beginning to call volunteers to form an elite force in the earth. It is one that sounds non threatening to human beings, but shakes the kingdom of darkness to it's core. It's called, The Body Of Christ. No, you have not seen the Body Of Christ yet, you have seen thousands of saved body parts, all saying to another part, I have no need of thee!

They are gentle and teachable, yet they have already mastered the art of living and dying in victory.
If you ask them, to walk a mile with you, two miles will be walked. If you sin in front of them, their presence will convict you. If there's a need, they meet it. They cannot feel the sting of death, nor do they fear it. They have reached the highest level of maturity on the planet, they they have mastered the art of controlling their tongue.
They are often accused of being in a cult, because most of them live in communities and they all have, all things in common. They are inseparable, because they are tightly knit together in love. They are feared, loved, hated, misunderstood, attacked, despised, rejected, admired, envied, and sought after, by all those who make the following statements;
"I am content to remain a body part, instead of a part of the body". "What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours". "A mans home is his castle". "I have my rights". "What's he or she doing here?". "Who invited them?" "Outer court yes, holy place maybe, holy of holies, can't do it, price is to great."
Classes are now open in the western world, I have invited many, but the lines are still very short. I am looking for students who will graduate and be presented to the world, as the manifested sons of God. No applicant will be turned away. However few will graduate, because the flesh dies very hard.
1 Corinthians 12:13-27 (KJV)
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. [14] For the body is not one member, but many. [15] If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? [16] And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? [17] If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? [18] But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. [19] And if they were all one member, where were the body? [20] But now are they many members, yet but one body. [21] And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. [22] Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: [23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. [24] For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: [25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. [26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. [27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians 3:1-15 (KJV)
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. [2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it , neither yet now are ye able. [3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? [4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? [5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? [6] I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. [7] So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. [8] Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. [9] For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. [10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] 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.
Acts 2:41-47 (KJV)
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] 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 4:29-37 (AMP)
And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants full freedom to declare Your message fearlessly, [30] While You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. [31] And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage. [32] 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. [36] Now Joseph, a Levite and native of Cyprus who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, which interpreted means Son of Encouragement, [37] Sold a field which belonged to him and brought the sum of money and laid it at the feet of the apostles. Acts 5:1-5 (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. [3] But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to and attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and should in violation of your promise withdraw secretly and appropriate to your own use part of the price from the sale of the land? [4] As long as it remained unsold, was it not still your own? And even after it was sold, was not the money at your disposal and under your control? Why then, is it that you have proposed and purposed in your heart to do this thing? How could you have the heart to do such a deed? You have not simply lied to men playing false and showing yourself utterly deceitful but to God. [5] Upon hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great dread and terror took possession of all who heard of it.
Matthew 5:3-16 (KJV)
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. [5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you , and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
James 1:26-27 (KJV)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. [27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 3:1-18 (KJV)
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. [2] For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. [3] Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. [4] Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. [5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! [6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. [7] For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: [8] But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. [9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. [10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. [11] Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? [12] Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. [13] Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. [14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. [15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. [16] For where envying and strife is , there is confusion and every evil work. [17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

WHEN YOU HEAR ...S T O P... DO NOT ASK, WHY? JUST STOP UNTIL I GIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
WHEN YOU HEAR ...S T O P... DO NOT ASK, WHY?
JUST STOP UNTIL I GIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
The kingdom is not a democracy where the people vote on whether to obey or amend an inconvenient law. All My stop and go orders, are for your good and My glory. I do not give orders because I am on an ego trip. All My directives are connected to an eternal purpose. Your steps have been ordered from the beginning, however you have a free will to choose to obey or ignore, each directive. Each has a guaranteed reward.
Because I am your creator, you need no explanation, nor do I need to give one, what you hear is what you obey. Stop is very easy to understand and can mean life or death, if not obeyed instantly. Questioning has killed many, not because I killed them, but because the death angel was about to pass by, and they hesitated long enough to question My order.
My desire is that all your yes's are in direct response to My orders and all your nays are in answer to your flesh desires. I see what you do not see, I hear what you do not hear. You hear the tongue, I hear the heart, and see what goes on in secret. My Spirit is given as a comforter, but also as an guide that you are not led into deception, but into all truth.
An impure heart is often impossible to detect even by the one having it. The living word, is the only one, able to divide the pure from the impure. What is flesh is flesh and what is spirit is spirit and like oil and water, the two shall never mix. The soul is a master at impersonation and even the best of the best, without My Spirit will be deceived, into thinking flesh is spirit. This deception has shipwrecked multitudes of innocent believers, because they did not stop to try the spirits.
Keep in mind I am not speaking of a person, but a spirit residing in a person. I do not always reveal the reasons why, I say STOP, but you better stop, further movement could mean disaster. If I see a break in the track ahead, I will bring the train to a screeching halt, so My passengers will be spared. If you are on board one of My trains, and I put the breaks on, you will stop with Me, until the track is repaired or we take another train.
Until I have given further instruction, just sit and be still and know that I am God. If the track is not repairable, you will be placed in a train on a new track, but I assure you, you will arrive at the destination, I have for you. My promise is that, the pure in heart shall see Me in all My glory. The impure in heart will continue to deceive and be deceived, because they choose the flesh over the Spirit.
Romans 9:20-23 (KJV)
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it , Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [22] What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: [23] And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Isaiah 29:13-16 (KJV)
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: [14] Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. [15] Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord , and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? [16] Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Isaiah 55:8-11 (KJV)
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord . [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. [10] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: [11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
1 Corinthians 4:5 (KJV)
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
John 16:13-15 (AMP)
But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message on His own authority; but He will tell whatever He hears from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him, and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come that will happen in the future. [14] He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. [15] Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He the Spirit will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
Romans 8:5-9,12-14,27-28 (KJV)
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. [9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. [12] Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. [13] For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. [14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. [28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Exodus 14:13 (KJV)
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
1 Samuel 9:26-27 (AMP)
They arose early and about dawn Samuel called Saul who was sleeping on the top of the house, saying, Get up, that I may send you on your way. Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went out on the street. [27] And as they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us--and he passed on--but you stand still, first, that I may cause you to hear the word of God.
1 Samuel 12:15-20 (AMP)
But if you will not hearken to the Lord''s voice, but rebel against His commandment, then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against your fathers. [16] So stand still and see this great thing the Lord will do before your eyes now. [17] Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call to the Lord and He will send thunder and rain; then you shall know and see that your wickedness is great which you have done in the sight of the Lord in asking for a king for yourselves. [18] So Samuel called to the Lord, and He sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. [19] And they all said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil--to ask for a king. [20] And Samuel said to the people, Fear not. You have indeed done all this evil; yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve Him with all your heart.
Psalm 46:10 (AMP)
Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!
Matthew 5:8 (KJV)
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

SIN DOES IT'S OWN THING, I AM NOT INVOLVED IN IT'S GOVERNMENT
SIN DOES IT'S OWN THING, I AM NOT INVOLVED IN IT'S GOVERNMENT
Make no mistake about it, sin brings forth death on every level regardless of race, color or creed. Whether you are old, young, fat, skinny, homely or handsome, male or female, rich or poor, sick or healthy, married or single, sin brings forth death every time, and without fail. I took your sin to the cross and overcame its power for you. Their is no reason for man to continue sinning or live under it's power, unless you choose too.
I do not punish sin, because it was punished once an for all when, I destroyed it's power by coming out of the grave. Sin only has power over those, believers and non-believers, who choose to submit to it. Sin does it's own punishing, with death. It has it's own laws and when you surrender to it's influence, then the law of sin and death takes you out. I do not sit in the heavens and seek to punish sinners, I seek to save them.
You must understand the spiritual realms are many faceted, and each realm takes care of it's own jurisdiction. The government of the kingdom of darkness, is continually set to rob, kill and destroy. The forces of darkness operate under their own power and all those who choose not to leave it's jurisdiction, will be robbed, killed and ultimately destroyed in hell. If a believer chooses to ignore My warnings and wanders into the territory of darkness, sin's laws will do the same to them.
I set all laws in order in the beginning and they work every day 24/7 without Me needing to do anything. If you step off a roof, I don't force you to the ground. The law of gravity, works all by itself and delivers you to the ground. If you sin I don't rob you, sin does, neither do I destroy you, sin does. Conversely the law of righteousness, rewards good with good things. The law of giving with a pure heart, causes men to give back to you. I do not need to push planets around the sun in order for life to continue on earth. The laws of the universe still obeys My original command and all runs smoothly.
My word works and all I do is watch it work, throughout the ages. When I speak things into existence, they also function until I say otherwise. When I said, I would not be mocked, what ever you sow you will reap, I did not say it out of anger or wrath. I recognize how my laws work, whatever law you obey or break, that law will work for you or against you without fail. If you think you can mock Me with disobedience, test any of My laws, and see if I do not speak the truth.
Whenever someone dies a horrible death, people think I am not a loving God. The truth is, I love them unconditionaly, it was one of the laws that got them. The law has no feeling it's a continual operating force set in order by Me, to eventually establish My kingdom.
My laws never, ever return void or empty. They always work flawlessly, every time, everywhere and on everybody. Anytime you think one of My laws failed, look again and look deeper, and you will see that I personally stepped in with Mercy, and temporarily held back the enforcement that law, for My greater purpose. No one ever cheats death, I simply show mercy, by extending time.
Because of My love and mercy, the heavenly realm spends a great deal of time holding back the law enforcement. Most of these acts of mercy are the direct result of answering the prayers of faith. If you are righteous, then your prayers do a lot for the lawbreakers. Much mercy is extended as a result of prayer.
Stop thinking that I am watching every sin and waiting to punish it, nothing could be further from the truth. I am watching for every prayer, wanting to extend mercy on the earth. Sin takes care of itself and when it is finished it brings forth death, unless I step in with mercy, because you prayed.
Romans 6:16-23 (KJV)
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? [17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. [18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. [19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. [20] For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. [21] What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. [22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. [23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
James 1:15-17 (KJV)
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. [16] Do not err, my beloved brethren. [17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
John 10:10 (KJV)
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Luke 19:10 (KJV)
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Ephesians 2:1-3 (AMP)
AND YOU He made alive, when you were dead (slain) by your trespasses and sins [2] In which at one time you walked habitually. You were following the course and fashion of this world were under the sway of the tendency of this present age, following the prince of the power of the air. You were obedient to and under the control of the demon spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God. [3] Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature, obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings. We were then by nature children of God''s wrath and heirs of His indignation, like the rest of mankind.
Hebrews 4:14-16 (KJV)
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. [15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (AMP)
For our sake He made Christ virtually to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of the righteousness of God what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness.
Revelation 1:18 (AMP)
And the Ever-living One I am living in the eternity of the eternities. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).
Romans 6:9-14 (KJV)
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. [10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. [11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. [12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. [14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Make no mistake about it, sin brings forth death on every level regardless of race, color or creed. Whether you are old, young, fat, skinny, homely or handsome, male or female, rich or poor, sick or healthy, married or single, sin brings forth death every time, and without fail. I took your sin to the cross and overcame its power for you. Their is no reason for man to continue sinning or live under it's power, unless you choose too.
I do not punish sin, because it was punished once an for all when, I destroyed it's power by coming out of the grave. Sin only has power over those, believers and non-believers, who choose to submit to it. Sin does it's own punishing, with death. It has it's own laws and when you surrender to it's influence, then the law of sin and death takes you out. I do not sit in the heavens and seek to punish sinners, I seek to save them.
You must understand the spiritual realms are many faceted, and each realm takes care of it's own jurisdiction. The government of the kingdom of darkness, is continually set to rob, kill and destroy. The forces of darkness operate under their own power and all those who choose not to leave it's jurisdiction, will be robbed, killed and ultimately destroyed in hell. If a believer chooses to ignore My warnings and wanders into the territory of darkness, sin's laws will do the same to them.
I set all laws in order in the beginning and they work every day 24/7 without Me needing to do anything. If you step off a roof, I don't force you to the ground. The law of gravity, works all by itself and delivers you to the ground. If you sin I don't rob you, sin does, neither do I destroy you, sin does.

YOU CAN BE SURE I WILL MAKE A WAY ... BUT PROBABLY NOT YOUR WAY
YOU CAN BE SURE I WILL MAKE A WAY ... BUT PROBABLY NOT YOUR WAY
It's human nature to assume I am interested in their comfort, but nothing could be further from the truth. Comfort zones are filled with luke warm believers that make me want to spit up. I find no faith at all in comfort zones, making it impossible for them to please Me. The temple was a comfort zone filled with merchants making money and establishing a comfort zone in My Fathers house of prayer, I enjoyed messing it up.
Pain, suffering, and physical death, are so feared and shunned by western christians, that they have all been placed in satan's tool bag. However western mindset constantly tries to place Me in their comfort zone, with a two car garage, two bathes, and a wide screen TV. Why would I wish this on anyone, when My plan is to have all things common and not to heap to yourself riches on this earth.
There is a spirit of selfishness, that sounds very innocent and nobel, but it is birthed in hell. It's called privacy. The fear of letting others into parts of your life because you are fearful. You have your program of how you do things in life, your home is you castle, and you refuse to let anyone, even Me change it.
You say, "God has control of my life", yet the, "least of these", can never enter your private life. You do not apply, "In as much as you do to the least of these, you have done it unto Me", to this area of your life. I do not need a physical house to live in, but the least do. If you have made Me lord, you no longer own a castle. You have no more rights, not even to privacy. I own you, you are mine, lock, stock, and barrel. If I choose for you to serve in a palace or a prison, or both, what is that to you, it is My choice not yours.
The western mindset is, palaces only, we rebuke the prisons. That mindset is about to be broken as the western world crumbles. You calling is to have a spiritually clean heart and physically dirty hands. You are to minister life, out where the sinners are, while building the body at the same time. I came from the holiest place to sit with sinners and publicans. My calling is your calling, you are not greater than you master.
You are stumbling and cheating My people by putting on a front, saying, "this is the real Me". Pretending that you have great faith when you are scared to death inside. Refusing to leave a comfort zone while pretending you have given all. This lifestyle will never enter the kingdom.
Comfort zone people have no clue what it Means to be poured out as a drink offering. They relegate martyrdom to new testament times and say I would never allow the gift of martyrdom in the western church, that's for eastern christians and bible times. The very thought of being handcuffed and hauled off to a jail, for serving Me openly, is appalling.
What would the neighbors think? there is no privacy in prison, it would be all over the news, my reputation would be ruined, My family needs me, what about my job? No, no never, I rebuke the very thought, this would never be God. Most comfort zone people will deny Me in the end, claiming, "God would never want me to suffer loss".
My gifts and callings are without repentance, once you are called it stands for the rest of your life. Hiding in a comfort zone, for any reason, will not excuse you from your calling. If you are angry, or bitterness because the road I chose for you was different than you had imagined, repent and get over it, your calling is still in effect.
I will not join in your pouting or your pity party. I have empowered you to fight the good fight of faith, you are a soldier of My cross and I hold you accountable according to the power I have given you. I refuse to cut you any slack because I know My power in you great, if you will grow up, and get back into the secret place with Me.
I will accept no excuses, there in no place for fearful wimps, or selfish privacy people in My kingdom. I have men, women, and children dying every day for My sake, while westerners are fearing they might loose their big screen TV.
When I walk through the west, I want to throw up. It's time to clean again, so I am going to walk through the western temple one more time.
Matthew 16:24-26 (AMP)
Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests and take up his cross and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also. [25] For whoever is bent on saving his temporal life his comfort and security here shall lose it eternal life; and whoever loses his life his comfort and security here for My sake shall find it life everlasting. [26] For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life his blessed life in the kingdom of God? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his blessed life in the kingdom of God?
Matthew 21:12-13 (KJV)
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, [13] And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMP)
Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received as a Gift from God? You are not your own, [20] You were bought with a price purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
John 21:21-22 (AMP)
When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what about this man? [22] Jesus said to him, If I want him to stay (survive, live) until I come, what is that to you? What concern is it of yours? You follow Me!
Matthew 11:19 (AMP)
The Son of Man came eating and drinking with others, and they say, Behold, a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and especially wicked sinners! Yet wisdom is justified and vindicated by what she does (her deeds) and by her children.
John 13:16-17 (KJV)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. [17] If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
Acts 4:32 (KJV)
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Matthew 6:20-25,30-33 (AMP)
But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [22] The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. [23] But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you your conscience is darkened, how dense is that darkness! [24] 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? [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.
Hebrews 11:32-40 (AMP)
And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [33] Who by the help of faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [34] Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [35] Some women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept release offered on the terms of denying their faith, so that they might be resurrected to a better life. I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37. [36] Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment. [37] They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers to renounce their faith; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; while they were alive they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated-- [38] Men of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and living in caves and caverns and holes of the earth. [39] And all of these, though they won divine approval by means of their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, [40] Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they these heroes and heroines of faith should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them.
It's human nature to assume I am interested in their comfort, but nothing could be further from the truth. Comfort zones are filled with luke warm believers that make me want to spit up.

[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.
Hebrews 11:32-40 (AMP)
And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [33] Who by the help of faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [34] Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [35] Some women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept release offered on the terms of denying their faith, so that they might be resurrected to a better life. I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37. [36] Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment. [37] They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers to renounce their faith; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; while they were alive they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated-- [38] Men of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and living in caves and caverns and holes of the earth. [39] And all of these, though they won divine approval by means of their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, [40] Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they these heroes and heroines of faith should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them.
