I Reward Obedience

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I walk with you every step of your day, and every moment with you is precious to Me.  When we walk together, there is nothing that comes between us, for our bond is unbreakable and is everlasting.  When you wake each morning, I Am there.  When you lie down to sleep in the evening, I Am there.  No matter where you go or what you are doing, I Am there.  This is My promise to you who are faithful and obedient to My calling on your lives.  Even in those times when you stumble and have fallen into some sin, I Am there to correct your way if you recognize what you have done, confess it and ask for forgiveness and I Am quick to answer.  I do not ask for perfection, for this is unattainable in the fallen earth, but I do ask for obedience, for this shows Me how much you truly love Me.  Words are cheap, but actions speak loudly, My loves, and your actions I observe and none of what you do goes unnoticed.  I see everything, and I keep record of everything, and one day you will be rewarded for the good you have done.  When you cross the finish line, because unrighteousness cannot be in My presence, all of your worldly deeds will melt away as though you for a brief moment walk through a fire that burns away all of the deeds done in self, leaving only that which is eternal; gold, silver and precious stones, which are the righteousness of the saints.  These I will honor and you will receive rewards for your actions.  Even those who first surrender to Me with their last breath will have treasures, because even in that final moment of life, the earth is changed because I was allowed a temple to dwell in.  Your obedience is worth more than you realize.

 

1Cor 3:10-15 (ESV) 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. 11  For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13  each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14  If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15  If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

A Clean Vessel

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I desire your vessel to be pure inside and out.  This means that you must walk with Me every step of our journey in the earth for I have scripted your life and the closer you are to My will for you, the purer your heart.  A pure heart that is in connection with My Spirit continually is one that I Am able to do mighty works through that I have ordained since before the foundations of the earth were laid.  And you are the ones that I test continually as well, making sure there is no vestige of self that can hinder My Spirit.  Self hinders My Spirit in you and the result is that My glory is less than I intended.  But when a vessel is consecrated for My use, there is no self in it at all.  I make some vessels for daily use, but I reserve some for noble use, and these are the ones I have chosen for greater works.  Now, just because I have different levels of works for each one doesn’t mean that there are different levels of blessing, for all will receive blessing, according to your faith.  Some I use to reach thousands of souls each day, but others I use to reach out to that single neighbor who needs a friend to help them and show them My love, and when each of you fulfill the works I have ordained beforehand, then you will receive your reward in full.  These are practical things for you to do each day, pressing into My Spirit and letting Him lead you.  But there are also those who are like whitewashed tombs that are beautiful on the outside, but are full of filth and death, these you are to avoid, for they will try and deceive you, that your vessel be stained and thus hinder My Spirit in you.  Ask of Me to show you the areas of your life where your vessel needs attention, and I will help you be pure, that I use you to reach many in My name.

 

Matt 23:23-36 (ESV) “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24  You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! 25  “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26  You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. 27  “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. 28  So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29  “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30  saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31  Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32  Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33  You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? 34  Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35  so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36  Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Time Is Closing Fast

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you.  Without Me, you are vulnerable to steer aways from My will.  Without Me, you have no future that is desirable.  Without Me, your lives have little meaning, for you will always be on the side of death and darkness.  These sayings may seem harsh, but this is reality for many of you who reject My leading, My protection, and My will for you.  Because, without Me, you are being harmed every day by the enemy of your soul and at the time of the end of your life in the earth, you will spend eternity far away from Me.  Some of you need to hear this harsh reality because you have chosen the worldly instead of the godly in your lives, and this is not My will for you.  The longer you play around with sin, the more difficult it will be to forsake that sin and turn to Me because the enemy’s hold on you is very tight indeed.  But My loves, My love is greater than anything and everything that is in the earth.  My love calls to you and all you must do is respond and surrender everything to Me and I will save you from your many trials.  There are many who die daily that are far from Me and it grieves My heart that they have chosen to be apart from Me, for I love everyone equally and absolutely.  So, for those who are reading this message and are in deep sin, cry out to Me for forgiveness, confess your sin, rebuke the enemy’s hold on your life, and I will free you from death and bring you abundant life – life everlasting.  Do not hesitate when you feel Me drawing you near, for the time to respond is closing fast.

 

Rom 10:5-21 (ESV) For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6  But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7  “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8  But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11  For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13  For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14  How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15  And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17  So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. 18  But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19  But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.” 20  Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.” 21  But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
