Are We in the Faith? Lesson 28

Are We in the Faith? We are at a pivotal point in the ministry. God is indeed exalting truth. He is exalting His word above all other voices and echoing it through the walls of the Body of Christ. We are at a point that the scriptures have been waiting on. They have testified of the latter-day reformation of the Church. The truth of the Kingdom of God must be preached in the four corners of the world. However, where do we stand? The Lord gave me a vision concerning the ministry and I think it meets that I share it.

The Vision:

I received it during the School of the Prophets Tour, the New Jersey leg. During one of the sessions, the Lord spoke the vision where I saw the saints of God standing each against a wall.

They all had their own section and their backs were turned to the minister at that time. Moreover, every section an individual was, there was also a window; and everyone had their heads outside of the window. The window led to a small room and in this room were all the things relative to that individual. These were not sinful things per se’ they were simply the things, situations, people, that were present in that individual’s life. I knew that each room that the windows led to were indicative of the individual’s life; their personal life. Do not forget however, that simultaneously the preacher was preaching. However, all backs were turned and their ears were through the window. When I saw this I immediately heard the Lord say to me, “Now is the time for all that is called God to take their part in the reformation. Tell my people to take their heads out of the sand - The sands of their life and prepare for the work I have laid out before them.” I was immediately shaken and grieved to the core concerning this vision. I discerned the intent of the Lord. Only the pure in heart shall see God. One of the Lord’s first messages to the church was that, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

This is the basic qualification to be a disciple of Christ. Their entire life must be for God. I have found that when many hear this teaching they immediately think of ‘church work’. Their minds go to the duties assigned to us or to our hearts and urgency enters them and persuades them against slothfulness. However, the Lord is speaking to much more than church duties, He is speaking to the position of the heart. The heart must be of a posture that realizes that their life is not their own. We must also realize that every situation, circumstance, or relationship is attached to that individual for Christ’s own glory. Many are lost in the life that is lived here in time, rather than living from a heart posture that looks to the Kingdom of God. Your thoughts reveal the disposition of your soul. What are the things you think most about? What are the things that concern you? What are the things you fight for, or mumble within yourself about? What things trouble you? Stop for a while and note whether the true answer to all these questions are the things concerning the Kingdom of God. If we cannot truly say that we live for the Kingdom of God or that our sole purpose for existing on earth is to further the Body of Christ and glorify God, we have lost focus and purpose. We have fallen into the category of those John declared loved the world. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1John 2:16)

Nevertheless, we are at a pivotal point in the ministry. The line of demarcation is drawn. God is making a final call to those who desire to be a part of this end time reformation, which only the holy can be a part of. We must all be at the place where there is nothing that competes with God in our lives; rather we must accept that God is our lives. Search your hearts and find in it the righteousness of God. Please note, that God is not a respecter of persons and neither is He a God that places a hierarchy on sin. We must now see the evil in all sin. The sins of the mind must be confronted with the word of God. They are no less severe than the visible sins. If you look upon a woman with lust in your heart, you are an adulterer. If you esteem yourself higher than your fellow-brother, you are a murderer (1 John 3:15)

If you hinder the flow of love through you to another, you are an antichrist. Let us not deceive ourselves into thinking that these persons will be those that will be used by God. There is no grey in God, for He is light and they that fellowship with Him walk in the light even as He is light. Saints, do not be deceived. There are many who will miss the Lord because they simply do not love with the love of the Lord. They cast judgments in their hearts without consideration of themselves. They fail to discern that they are currently in need of the mercy of God. They walk in a spirit of high-mindedness and pride; one that exalts themselves above the least one. We must also judge in our hearts and examine how we truly feel about those that are currently in sin. Would we die for them, would we risk even our ‘reputation’ to protect them. Or are we quick to bash, to judge and to condemn? Now is the time for the redemption of the Body of Christ. However, there must be a demonstration of the Unity of the Faith. There must be a revelation of Christ here on the earth.

There must be a manifestation of the sinlessness of the Kingdom of God in this world. God has tarried years with some of us. However, He is now calling us to purpose. God tarried with Israel for thousands of years, however, they missed their opportunity of the infilling of Christ. Their measure was given to another. Therefore, let us not be presumptuous as to think that God will settle for a lukewarm people. We have been called to a precious calling. No man can take this honor unto Himself. God is prepared to use us to exalt His name in the earth. Praise you Abba! However, we must come forth with the righteousness of the early church. We must take our heads out of the sand and turn to the righteousness in the Kingdom of God. We must deal with the ways that the Holy Ghost reveals to us. We must manifest the righteousness of God before it is too late for us, personally. Nevertheless, God will exalt truth. His word will spread like wildfire throughout the world and we shall witness the great exodus of the church from the clutches of false doctrines, into the marvelous promised land of the truth. Moreover, the antichrist shall be revealed with those who labor and have labored with Him. Nevertheless, at that time, we shall look up, because our Lord and Savior will crack the sky with the power of holiness and rescue His beloved from the wrath of God. Saints, we are in the last of the last days. Be ye therefore Holy, as your Father in heaven is Holy.

With love and all urgency
