BY MY SPIRIT

O be still, My children, be still in your spirits and let Me fill you with My Spirit for it is not by thy power and might but by My Spirit that you are able to worship Me in spirit and truth.  O be still, My children~be still in your spirits and feel My sweetness, My burning Love.  Hearken unto My words and then I shall cause you to ascend to the mountain top.  (at a meeting)


1 Cor. 1:29--So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.


Zech. 4:6--Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Many years ago while I was at a home meeting, this is what I saw and heard.

JESUS IS ALONE—
At first I saw Jesus at the meeting and He painted a picture on a canvas of Himself but everyone else seemed to be interested in someone or something else. Then Jesus sat down in quiet,  grieving beside the canvas, surrounded by many people, yet all alone, for no one noticed Him! I was the only one who noticed Him and I was very sad that He was treated in this way and that He was grieving. Then this word came:
WHO WILL CHOOSE?
  
Who will choose to be at one with Me? It is he, even he who is discerning and who is willing to walk with Me and be at one. It is he who is willing to take up My burden and not his own. It is he who is willing to grieve when I grieve, weep when I weep, stir within with indignation when I do. Ye have not done so for I see all things and I am not pleased. Your much laughing and smiling does grieve Me much for when you do this and I am not laughing, you do grieve Me. Since when does the lack of holiness cause Me to smile and be in laughter? Since when do I send preachers wth robes of jest upon them? Never! Never do I send these preachers.
  
They, even they, send themselves and you are not even awake to it. You rest. You’re dull, you’ re relaxed, not all of you, but most. Who will choose Me? Let him seek Me for each person and each situation to be at one with Me and I, who am all faithful, will not close my ears to your cry but heed your cry and grant you the discernment you need for I am the Great Discerner within you and you need me at every moment, especially at this time, when so many deceivers are sent forth and used by the great deceiver, even Satan himself. So look to Me and trust Me to speak truth to your inner ear, to be eyes within, to see what really is happening. You lack, oh my children, you lack. Be serious, be sober, this is not the day of jest, but the day of war, of discernment, of battle in Christ~~even in Me. Yes, I ever war and battle and watch. Will you watch with Me or go off in your own dull and lazy direction?
 
Choose Me and your reward will be great. Your heart rest exceedingly satisfying. Amen and amen.

Prov. 1:29-30--Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord, Would accept none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof.

REST IN ME

Rest in Me and I'll rest in you.  Yea, your heart is My home and a home of rest it is becoming by Mine own Hand.  How I search thru My Body for resting places~for places filled with love~for places filled with trust.  Then we can be at one.  O child, you give Me great pleasure this day.  The rest...it's very sanctifying to your soul to rest in Me and with Me, My child. 

Share this with others~how important it is to rest with Me on some days, thanking Me for the quiet hours as I stir within you with warmth~a burning love.  Share this and I will anoint it and plant in them a desire to reach up~to come into My very Heart~My innermost Being, and I will share with you, My Life~the wisdom and understanding and insights you so desperately need and do ask Me for.  I love you.

Psalm 23:1-2--The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters.

Psalm 34:5--Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

Psalm 62:5-8--Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress.  I will not be shaken.  My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in Him at all times.  O people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.

PROGRESS

Progress, progress~it will be afforded unto you as you proceed~as you make mistakes~as you learn.  Only seek Me in all things, not just in some.  Seek Me in all things.  Stay close~love Me with all of your heart for as you can see, love truly is the greatest thing.  Let go~abandon yourself.  I'm here to catch you and keep you from falling.  Love Me.  Adore Me.  Trust Me.  I'm yours.

Deut. 33:27–The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Psalm 36:7--How priceless is your unfailing love!  Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.

2 Cor. 3:18--And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

FIND PEACE IN HIS PRESENCE

I will give you the light as you continue to seek after Me.  I love you, My child.  Let that give you peace... to love Me~to serve Me~to be anointed with My nearness and closeness forevermore.  Pass this message on to others, that they, too, can find peace in My Presence.  In these end times, people will be frantic, even in the Body of Christ, because they do not know how to come into My Presence.  This I've granted unto you, child, and it is important~very important.  It soothes, gives waves of peace, helps in times of confusion and want and anxiety.  You know, child, for this you have experienced so many times with the lack of solutions.  Be content with My Presence~that is Me, My child, that is Me.

Deut. 33:27--The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.

Psalm 16:11--You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 37:4--Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Heb. 4:16--Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

ACTIVE FAITH

Active faith~Active faith!  This is what I've asked you to walk in.  You wonder about this message.  Why should it fall upon your ears?  Check yourselves, each one of you in My Presence and in My Light and see where the defect lies.  It lies within each one of you.  The faith that I gave  you lies dormant. 

Awake~Awake and use the faith I gave you.  Just turn your eyes unto Me and look.  Aren't all the answers in Me?  Aren't I full of wisdom and knowledge and understanding?  Can't I give you the rest you need?  Aren't I very rest and aren't I very faith?  Ask Me to increase your faith and I will.  Look for the answers to come and you will see them.

Heb. 11:6--But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

2 Cor. 5:7--For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.

MY FIRE OF LOVE

I really do want the wood, hay and stubble to be burned out of me, Precious Jesus.


And as you submit yourself to Me, admitting to your nature’s failures, and offering them to Me, I will, I shall burn off the wood, hay and stubble. Remember the vision I shared with you? You offered Me all your great problems and I had you put them into the fire~My fire of Love. there in My fire of Love are all things burned which cannot stand the test. I love you, child. Keep searching for Me. I love to be found and I love you.


O Precious Peace, Precious Prince of Peace, I love you. I see “I love you” rising up before you as a sweet fragrance~as a burning incense. Be pleased, O Lord with me. O Lord, as you fill me with your thoughts, words and gestures, you will be pleased, because I can’t offer you anything else that would please you, but YOU in me. O Lord, cause me to search for you in ways of depth and sensitivity again and again~AS YOU WISH!


James 4:7-10–Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts ye double-minded. Be afflicted and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.


1 Cor. 3:12-14–Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
