Obedience

Luke 19:13 “And he called his ten servants, 
and delivered them ten pounds, 
and said unto them, “Occupy till I come”

As sons we are learning obedience through suffering. (Heb 5:8) The suffering comes as we yield within the garden that is “our life circumstance”. Of the multitudes of the “saved” that hear this call only “a few” submit themselves to the discipline of our Commander and Chief. We are the Lords “special forces.” an “occupying force” of “highly trained” and “decorated” soldiers that remain calm under fire as waves of circumstance tempt us to react “independently”, yet our orders are clear “don’t eat from that tree” it is an issue of “life and death” because if we do many will be harmed by “friendly fire”. We are on “high alert” because our time in near. The time of release when the Lord will sovereignly come and “flip the switch” and we will be activated and move in harmony with “Our Head” as a many membered force around the world functioning as “One”.

To Him that Overcomes

"To him that overcometh will I grant to “sit” with Me in My
throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with
My Father in His throne" (Revelation 3:21).
In the Book of Revelation, there are two classes of Believers.
The first is The Overcomer.
The Overcomer is The Bride of Christ whom He has chosen. 
It is all those who went further with The Lord, beyond their
salvation and responded to the High Calling in Christ and
are “seated” with Christ in His throne. A people called of God
to more. Who loved not their lives unto death. Who rose
above their life circumstance and overcame, who followed 
The Lamb wherever He went. A Bride who has "made herself ready" 
for The Marriage Supper of The Lamb".
The Second is The Multitude.
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no
man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, "stood" before the throne, and before the
Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their
hands " (Revelation 7:9)
(robes and palms speak of Redemption and Salvation)
This vast multitude that "stands" before His Throne received of The Lord during their life the free gift of Salvation. Heaven is their home for all eternity.
As they "stand" in the presence of The Lord before the throne they see all those who overcame that are "seated" with Him they realize that they missed the opportunity to be an overcomer and be chosen as His Bride. They spent their lifetime accumulating riches in this world and being concerned for temporary things and the cares of this world but failed to purchase eternal things.
Our testimony is the expression of our relationship with The Lord.
It is the accumulation of all the decisions that we have made over
our lifetime that have registered and formed our "Eternal Expression".
The Multitude was freely given Salvation but did not grow during
their lifetime but chose their own way and the way of the world and 
never submitted their lives to His Lordship.
The Overcomer during their lifetime allowed The Lord to bring them into a 
special relationship where they became a “Living Sacrifice" unto The Lord. 
Their self-life was dealt with by the daily working of The Cross and 
was no longer an obstacle or hindrance to the expression of His Life. They are the “Wise Virgins”, Their lamps were full of oil which speaks of direct 
and ongoing communion with The Bridegroom.
The time that we have, here on earth, is the most important time of all eternity as we are making our decisions for eternity now.
John 12:25 "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and 
he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal"
If we love our life here we will lose something of eternal value there...........
The unspeakable Joy of having an intimate relationship with Our Lord as His Bride for all Eternity. A Joy unspeakable and fullness of Glory as we rule and reign with Our Lord as His Sons for all Eternity.
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; ....
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” –Revelation 2:26-29
Paul saw the difference in these groups, and he sought the higher level (high calling of God). May we also seek this eternal relationship of being seated with Jesus in His throne, as a Bride having "Overcome this world even as He Overcame"
Today we can come before Jesus and "surrender our lives" to Him and allow Him to take us far beyond our Salvation and prepare us as His Bride. This is the very heartbeat of The Lord as He sits enthroned beside The Father ever making intercession for us that we would be engaged to Him with eyes for Him only and "enter in " so that on "that day" our place will be at The Marriage Supper of The Lamb

Gathering

As The Lord has done many times before, He sovereignly brought a group of believers to my place of business. I sensed the Presence of The Lord and began to share some of what I had been hearing in my spirit. The Anointing can no longer be contained inside our buildings for a couple of hours each week, no matter what name is on the building. It is flowing out into the highways and the byways. At our jobs, in the streets, at the supermarket, at the mall. The Lord is looking for a people who have become sensitive to His Spirit. A people He can trust with anointing and authority. He is restoring Shekhinah. That ability to abide the presence of The Lord that the first Adam lost is being restored. It is moving out into the lives of everyday people without abilities, personalities or special talents. The Lord is developing a people of integrity, of uprightness of heart and spirit that He can trust with this outpouring and infilling. Those that experience this will not under any circumstance attempt to set up a structure or ministry or organization that would contain or restrain this moving of Gods Spirit. A people who remain hidden. A people who don't draw attention to themselves or attempt to profit from this in anyway. A people who will so perfectly reveal Jesus that they will remain unseen. Lives hid in Christ through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit. If He be lifted up He will draw all...

The Heart of God

The heart of God is reaching out for a people who are “willing” in the day of His power, who, as “intercessors” will birth the purpose of the Lord into the earth in this day. We each live under varying degrees of continual pressure. The longer you walk with The Lord the harder it is to hear from Him. There is an ever present longing within for “more”. The Lord always moves through this hunger to accomplish His purpose. It drives us to a deeper level of faithfulness and obedience. This causes our roots to go very deep to a “secret place” of provision that is not visible to the natural eye. Those who respond to this “inner need” may seem to be somewhat crazy to their fellow believers who are less than fully committed to this process, but “real” overcomers are crazy people. They are strangers to this world. They have truly found the “pearl of great price” and nothing in this world compares. We make ourselves available, at the expense of our own comfort in the natural to function as an “intercessor”. If you hear what I hear then pray this prayer, “Lord, I desire to become an intercessor. I make myself available for this purpose so that at any time or in any way You may desire lift me Lord above the pull of the earthly into the longings of Your heart.” The Lord will respond to this prayer. There will be a progression in your developing this ability to travail. You will not come into this overnight, but there will be a “lifting” into ever higher levels of intercession.
