Stop Striving
The Lord is saying: Come to Me all who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Too many of you carry burdens you were not intended to carry. You strive as if hitting the wind, and I wish that you would quiet yourselves in My presence and put aside your striving and let Me be God to you. No amount of striving on your part can add to what My son, Jesus, did on the Cross. He paved the way into My presence – everything else is religion, which is man striving to get to Me. While I say, Jesus already opened that door. All you must do is walk through Him into My presence. Once you pass the threshold of the Open Door by surrendering your lives to Me, I then can work and move in your life and in your heart. Hearts of stone are then replaced by hearts of flesh that are moldable for My purposes. Once you surrender, My Spirit begins to remove all the chaff from your lives; all the wood, hay and stubble of self-righteousness and self-works, and you are then given gold, silver
