Show The World Who I Am

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  My loves, why is it that you seek and want certain things but are not willing to do the work in order to receive?  The reason I ask is because there are many who think that just because you are a child of God that you are owed many things.  Yes, there are things that are inherit to being My child, but you must do your part.  If you are in need, yes you can cry out to Me and I will hear and do My part to help you, but there are things that are your responsibility as well.  I can pave the road before you, but you still have to walk on it to get the rewards.  There are many of you who are stuck in a pit because you cry out to Me, and when I have done My part, you continue wait upon Me when I have already done what is necessary for you to work it out.  I don’t say these things to condemn you, My children, but to gently nudge you from your complacency into the works that I have for you.  Now is the time to stand into your roles as My children and show the world who I Am. 

 

James 2:14-26 (ESV) What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15  If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16  and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17  So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18  But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19  You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20  Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21  Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22  You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23  and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24  You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25  And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26  For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
