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.
