THE
MINISTRY LETTER 2006 ISSUE 5
To all
handmaidens and bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ:
...."those
who want to get rich [through self-desire] fall into temptation and a snare and
many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
For the LOVE OF MONEY is a root of all sorts of evil ["all evil" -
KJV], and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced
themselves with many a pang. But flee from these things, you man [woman] of
God; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance
[steadfastness] and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the
eternal life to which you were called"....
1 Timothy 6:9-12a
Many years ago,
when I was just starting out the Father spoke these words to me, "You will
not solicit funds!" The word "solicit" is, in essence, a
"worldly" word - and has no legitimate meaning as far as the Kingdom
of God goes. The root of the word is from the Latin: "sollicitare" -
to agitate. Its meaning in Roman culture was "to seek to obtain by
persuasion or entreaty; to beg; Another form of that word is
"solicitous" - which means: "full of anxiety or concern, as for
the attainment of something; So when the Father says, "You will not
solicit funds" what He is saying to His faithful and obedient children is
that they are not to seek after finances (provision) in their "own"
strength, and in their "own" understanding - a "darkened"
understanding which would be rooted in fear and the "love of money".
It is the will of the Father for His children to be found seeking first the
Kingdom, and to be righteously motivated in all things pertaining to Kingdom
finances (Matthew 6) - trusting completely in Him (through an absolute faith)
for their provision - and the provision of others. It is only those who are
faithful and obedient to acknowledge God in ALL of their ways - those who seek
to dwell in His presence [and thus abide in divine Wisdom] - that will be used
in the glorious transfer of the wealth of the wicked in this hour - without
exception.

THE ABSOLUTE KEY TO PERFECT LIBERTY
The
absolute key to perfect liberty in ALL things is for one to enter into the
"inner chamber" with the Father and His Word daily. As one enters
into this place of intimate fellowship the Holy Spirit is able to impart the
heart and character of the Father to them. It is only in this place of intimate
fellowship with God that one will come to know - personally - the
"approval" of the Father (ABOVE ALL ELSE), and it is from an ever-expanding
revelation of this "divine approval" that they will be set free from
the "fear of man". It needs to be clearly understood that one must be
found guarding their heart with ALL diligence - day in and day out - in order
to "maintain" a burning and active revelation of the Father's love
for them. Again, the key to a perfect maintenance of the revelation abiding in
one's heart is for them to fellowship daily in the presence of God. We, as the
children of God, are called to walk in ALL of the light (revelation) that
abides within our heart - at ALL times - and thus it is imperative that we be
found continually guarding that which is within our heart - at all cost to
ourselves. It is a most glorious truth that the aforementioned "perfect
liberty" (absolute freedom) is available for all those who will draw near
to Him - regardless of their present position. In this final hour we must be a
people who are found abiding in perfect liberty - in order that the captives
that are brought across our path might not only be set free from their present
afflictions and bondage but, also, that they might enter into the perfect
liberty that will empower them to fulfil the fulness of their precious destiny,
in Christ.
MORE BENEFITS OF THE "INNER CHAMBER"
The
key to the "mortification" of any fleshly pattern or mind-set
(pre-conceived notion or mental ascension to the Word [Will] of God) is time in
the "inner chamber" with the Father and His Word. As one spends time
in the very presence of God the continual outflowing of divine life and light
will elevate the faithful and obedient one and cause them to rise above - by
the power of the Holy Spirit - any darkness that, up until that time, had been
"lodged" in their heart. From these things, one can clearly see that
the Father has made perfect provision for all of His children to walk "far
above" the schemes of the Evil One (schemes which are continually exposed
when one is faithful to enter into the "inner chamber" daily). It is
from this position of abiding in the secret place of God's presence that the
remnant Church is to go forth in great power in these days - a power that will
indeed "turn the world upside down" before we leave here.
THE FULNESS OF SALVATION (COMPLETE AND CONTINUED
DELIVERANCE) AND THE FULNESS OF DESTINY
The
"inner chamber" - when one enters in daily in obedience to the Holy
Spirit - is the key to one entering into the fulness of their precious
inheritance in Christ. It also is the key for each and every child of God to
enter into the fulness of their destiny (calling) in Christ. It must be clearly
understood by every child of God truly seeking the highest purposes of the
Father for their life and ministry that one must be found seeking to enter into
(and ultimately found abiding in) the "fulness" of their salvation
(complete and continued deliverance) in order to both enter into and fulfil the
fulness of all that they have been called to. Those who love God with all of
their heart will make it through perfectly in this season - as they continue to
seek first the Kingdom, and to be righteously motivated in ALL things - with
ALL of their heart. For love NEVER fails to accomplish its ultimate goal!
WITHOUT A DEEP REVELATION OF THE CROSS ABIDING IN
THEIR HEART ONE WILL NEVER GAIN A REVELATION OF WHAT GRACE TRULY MEANS
PERTAINING TO ALL LIFE AND GODLINESS
Many have a
misconception of what "grace" means and, thus, they continually quote
it wrongly and in the wrong context. Without a deep revelation of the Cross
abiding in their heart one will NEVER gain a revelation of what grace truly
means pertaining to ALL life and godliness. Grace is in no way a
"passive" (inert, non-resistant, idle) thing. Grace MUST be accessed
continually by faith, love, and obedience on the part of the child of God and
this, of course, requires - as it first prerequisite - one to be found laying
down their soul-life (psuche) completely, in any given moment. It is through
the continual accessing of grace that one will be "divinely
empowered" in ALL things - and at ALL times - and it is precisely this
position from which the Glorious Church shall enter into the fulness of Her
destiny, in Christ - a Church that will be found walking "non-stop
supernaturally" until the catching away.
A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE STANDING IN FAITH:
God
is answering all of your prayers perfectly. But He does things His way - and
His way alone - and in a manner which is always for our greatest preparation
and eternal benefit. The entire remnant Church is going through (or has just
gone through) exactly what you are going through. Keep your eyes fixed on
Jesus! The Father will NEVER allow you to go through more than you can endure -
and the spontaneous by-product of what you are going through will be that you
will bear maximum (eternal) fruit in your life and ministry. Don't fall into
the trap of looking at someone else and comparing yourself. The Father - in His
dealings with His children - ALWAYS looks at the individual alone. He doesn't
look out and compare us to others. If one desires greater "faith and
power" then it is certain that the Father will purge them first of every
element of pride - and the self-effort (even in the pursuit of holiness) that
is its fruit.
WHATEVER THE FATHER COMMANDS HE PROVIDES FOR -
PERFECTLY!
Our
call, as Christians, is to walk by faith (love) in all things. As we are found
continually loving the Lord, our God, with all of our heart THEN - and only
then - will we be entirely free from the "love of money" in every
way. It is the Father's desire to superabundantly bless His faithful children
in the financial realm in this most critical hour! There is much work to do,
and it will take vast amounts of Kingdom finances to get the work done -
according to His highest purpose. Whatever the Father commands He provides for
- perfectly. This is truly the season of financial breakthrough in the remnant
Church. Many "ministries" - both individual and corporate - will be
established in this hour as the wealth transfer escalates and vast amounts of
Kingdom finances are released into the hands of those who "dwell in the
presence of the Lord" (Isaiah 26).
Let us hear the words of the Father:
"PERFECT LIBERTY"
...."The
definition of perfect liberty is when the hearts of My children are so
established in My Word [will] that they can look upon My written Word and every
true word of prophecy - and not be ashamed. For their heart is pure and their
conscience is clean before Me"....
"AS MY CHILDREN PUT ASIDE THE FEAR OF
MAN....."
...."One
important reason why My children need to rid themselves of the fear of what
others think, is that they will be greatly hindered in their attack against
spiritual foes if they place any importance at all on what "flesh and
blood" think. As My children put aside the "fear of men" and
what they think, they are then able to tackle demonic influence whether it be
during times of intercession and prayer - alone by themselves - or whether they
stand face to face with people who are being strongly influenced by the
demons"....
...."When
My children are not able to discern things "clearly", it indicates
some form of disobedience in their walk"....
"SELFISHNESS IN THE PARENT WILL ALWAYS GIVE
THEIR CHILDREN THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE NOT LOVED"
...."When
parents do not exercise a giving heart in their dealings with their children,
it causes those children to "fear" authority, which in turn will
cause them to be hesitant to approach their parents "openly".
Selfishness in the parent will always give their children the impression that
they are not loved"....
"PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE TEACHING THEIR
CHILDREN TO DEPEND UPON THEMSELVES"
...."Parents
should not be teaching their children to depend upon themselves! The parents,
by their own dependence upon Me for all things, should be "living
examples" to them, always teaching their children to depend on and trust
in Me. Parenting is not a matter of bringing the child to the place wherein
they will be able to fend for themselves, by their own means, but rather a
bringing of the child to the place wherein Jesus is Lord of all their lives and
the Holy Spirit is given His rightful place in their heart"....
...."In
this last hour, every one of My children must continually do those things, in
obedience to Me, which will cause them to have a greater capacity for Me - in
order that through them I might pour out My life and power on all flesh and
blood"....
"OBEDIENCE TO MY WORD IS THE KEY TO ALL OF THE
SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES FOUND THEREIN"
...."Obedience
to My Word is the key to all of the spiritual principles found
therein"....
"THE HEARTS OF MY PEOPLE HAVE TURNED TOWARDS
ME, AND THEY LONG TO HEAR THE DEEPEST THOUGHTS AND INTENTIONS OF MY HEART"
...."Fear
not, My beloved ones, only continue on in obedience to "all" the
commands which I have given you. For once again the hearts of My people have
turned towards Me, and they long to hear the deepest thoughts and intentions of
My heart; I have placed My vessels in their proper position in order that I
might reveal an abundance of truth to My people. The light which shines forth
through My bondservants and handmaidens in this last hour shall "drive
out" the darkness from the hearts and minds of all My children"....
"THEY SHALL, IN NO WAY, BE ABLE TO CARRY THOSE
ORDERS OUT"
...."In
this hour, the fear (or dread) of those who are walking (abiding) in the
anointing shall come upon those who have been held captive by Satan to do his
will - to carry out his plans, and because of this they shall, in NO WAY, be
able to carry those "orders" out"....

MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:
+ The
preacher's strongest and sharpest preaching should be to themselves!
+ The preaching
man is to be the praying man. Prayer is the preacher's mightiest weapon. An
almighty force in itself, it gives life and force to all. The real sermon is
made in the "closet". The man - God's man - is made in the
closet. His life and his profoundest convictions were born in his secret
communion with God. The burdened and tearful agony of his spirit, his
weightiest and sweetest messages were got when alone with God.
+ Many people
know of God but they do not know the "Gift" of God. People need to
know the Gift of God for God's Gift is not only that which will satisfy all
their needs, it is also that which is eternal and unchanging.
+ ...."Every
one therefore which heareth these words of Mine, and doeth them, shall be
likened unto a wise man which built his house upon the rock: and the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. And every one that
heareth these words of Mine and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish
man, which built his house upon the sand: and rain descended, and the floods
came. and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was
the fall thereof"....
Matthew 7:24-27
Jesus does not
allow His "hearers" to go away and make of His sayings what they
will, picking and choosing from them whatever they find "helpful",
and testing them to see if they work. He does not give them "free
rein" to misuse His Word with their "mercenary" hands
("mercenary" - influenced by a desire for personal gain or reward;),
but gives it to them on condition that it retains exclusive power over them.
Humanly speaking, we could understand and interpret the Sermon on the Mount in
a thousand different ways. Jesus knows only one possibility: simple
surrender and obedience, not interpreting it or "applying" it, but
doing and obeying it. That is the only way to "hear" His Word.
He does not mean that it is to be discussed as an ideal, He really means us to
get on with it! The only proper response to the Word which Jesus brings with
Him from eternity is simply to do it. Jesus has spoken: His is the word, ours
is obedience. Only in the doing of it does the Word of God retain its honour,
might and power among us. Now the storm can rage over the house, but it cannot
shatter that union with Him, which His Word has created. There is only one other
possibility, that of failing to do it. It is impossible to want to do it and
yet not do it. To deal with the Word of God otherwise than by doing it is to
live a lie! It is to deny the Sermon on the Mount and to say no to His Word. If
we start asking questions, posing problems, and offering interpretations, we
are not doing His Word. However "vehemently" we assert our faith, and
fundamental recognition of His Word, Jesus still calls it
"not-doing". But the Word which we fail to do is no "rock"
to build a house on. There can be no union with Jesus for He has never
"intimately known"(oida Gr.) us. That is why as soon as the
"hurricane" begins we lose the Word, and find that we have never
really truly believed it. The "word" we had was not Christ's, but a
word we had "wrested" from Him and made our own by reflecting on it
instead of doing it. So our house crashes in ruins, because it is not founded
on the "Living Word" of God!
+ "Perfect
obedience" is a "full-time" job!
+ Many of God's
children have become "adept" at hearing the "voice" of the
Evil One rather than the voice of the Holy Spirit!
+ Many of God's
children eat too much and talk too much!
+ Those who live
nearer to the Lord than others and, thus, who know Him most, will see most
reason to approach Him with reverence and fear.

REJOICE - EXPECT AND RECEIVE

"MANY SPIRITUAL
BATTLES NEED TO BE WON IN THE HEAVENLIES"
"Begin
to act on the many words that I have given you. Do not keep them locked in your
heart or in your journal, but take them out, each and every one of them. Lay
claim on them for I have given them to you, they are yours, take possession of
each one. They are not merely words, they are MY words. Lift each word from the
page, they are yours, lay hold and claim them. Know that as you bring to
My remembrance My many words and promises, that I have heard your cry. I have
not gone back on My Word, I cannot for I AM bound by My Word. I have seen every
question and I know your frustrations - Know, My Beloved that I
have and AM paving the way. The preparations have been well under way but many
spiritual battles needed to be won in the heavenlies. Not one dot or tiddle
could be missed as I prepared the way. Be sensitive to My direction even to the
smallest insignificances, they are 'vital'. I say to you, Do not fear that you
will miss ME or MY direction, knowing I shall bring all to pass that I have
spoken into your life. That time is nigh, expect!
"SEE THE DOOR FALL OPEN UNDER YOUR PRAISE"
Expect
and Rejoice.... Rejoice Beloved, I say rejoice! See all bondages and chains
dropped. See the door fall open under your praise. I say rejoice...rejoice in
the midst of your circumstances, rejoice in Who I AM, rejoice in who you are -
the sons and daughters of Almighty God. The enemy cannot come to your door in
the midst of rejoicing. I say again, rejoice!
"STIR UP THE GIFTS I HAVE GIVEN YOU"
Look,
look beyond your surroundings. You are looking at what is not happening and you
are missing out on the blessings that are happening in your life right now.
There are blessings all around you but you are concentrating on what you are
not seeing and what is not happening. Look beyond...You are asking for a time
but time is in My hands and My timing is perfect. Therefore, rest in ME, rest
in My timing see what I AM doing and see the 'present blessings' and be ready
for your coming breakthroughs. I AM that sits upon the
throne, beckons to you My Beloved. You are My vessel in which I work and move
through, therefore expect mighty works in your life. Stir up the gifts I have
given you for I AM spurring you on ... These are awesome days and I AM an
awesome God and awesome things will be done in My Name through you!
"I HAVE PREPARED YOU AND YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH
THE FIRE...ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY ME WILL STAND IN THE DAYS AND
MONTHS AHEAD"
My
eyes have gone to and fro looking for someone who was willing to put aside all
things, you said "here am I." I have prepared you and you have gone
through the fire, you have known what it is to be in need and you know the
hurts of the outcasts. It is time to exalt those who are humble, lowly
and meek for this is the hour of the uncomely parts. The hour for shepherds to
become kings and peasants to become priests. As Job, it is time to be raised
out of the ashes. I will confuse the mighty while bringing up My own from the
most unlikely of places ... They will look upon these and say "no not him,
no not her" for they will know from where they have come and yet I will
say: "Yes! I have chosen these and only these who have been prepared by ME
will stand in the days and months ahead."
"THIS IS MY GREATEST HOUR...I WILL MOVE QUICKLY...BE
READY"
This
is MY greatest hour... this is YOUR greatest hour. Rejoice and Expect! As
you seek My face this day, I AM closer than I have ever been. Even though you
might not feel My closeness, I AM there. Be sensitive to "all" that I
bring into your life from this moment on and ask My Spirit to reveal
"all" that is said and done. The plan that I have for you is
now unfolding like a beautiful rose, allow My Spirit to speak to you this day,
no word is too small. The day and the hour is upon you. You have come to full
term and there is an anxiousness about you which is normal when giving birth,
especially at full term. Do not let any anxiousness turn to discouragement,
prepare for this new birth ... and wait upon the Lord for it is at this
critical moment that you will want to 'push' in your own strength ... but
again I say, wait upon the Lord and I will bring it to pass. You have been
faithful to My Word and I will be faithful to My promises. I will move quickly
... be ready for Me .... IT WILL BE QUICKLY!!!
"THE CALLING IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT, IT IS
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME THAT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE"
Stand
firm for the enemy would try to steal the calling I have placed on your life
but I have overcome him - he would try to delay the calling but My timing is
perfect. It is when you least expect me to move that I will do it.. concentrate
on Me, I AM the reason you are called. The calling is not the most important,
it is your relationship with ME that is of the utmost importance. I desire that
you would see me as One who loves you and desires to do all I say I will do...
I no longer want you to speak of Me as the 'can do God' but the 'Am doing God.'
Lest you forget My Beloved Who I AM... I AM HE who led a disobedient people out
of the wilderness into the land of promise. "How much more will I lead you
who are obedient to My instructions?" The time for dismay is over it is
time to "Rejoice, Expect and Receive!"

INTIMACY WITH GOD:
THE KEY TO THE FULNESS OF TRANSITION INTO
KINGDOM LIVING
PART FIVE
"IT IS ONLY FROM THE PLACE OF INTIMATE
FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER AND HIS WORD THAT ONE WILL BE FOUND IN THE PROPER
POSITION TO RECEIVE THE NECESSARY REVELATION THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL
OBEDIENCE"
...."You
are to be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect"....
Matthew 5:48
One could
translate the above passage as, 'You are to be righteously motivated towards
all things as your Heavenly Father is righteously motivated towards you.' As
previously mentioned, the only way that one can walk (abide) in perfect
obedience is to "know" the heart and character of the Father -
intimately. For it is only from the place of intimate fellowship with the
Father and His Word that one will be found in the proper position to receive
the "necessary revelation" that is the beginning of ALL obedience. It
is also this intimate fellowship that keeps one sensitive to the still, small
voice of the Holy Spirit - and thus, able to carry out the fulness of the
Father's deepest thoughts and intentions - perfectly.
OVERCOMING THE "LEAVEN" OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
As
one enters into intimate fellowship with the Father and His Word in the
"inner chamber" (daily) they will come to see themselves through His
eyes, and thus they will be set free from the fear of what others think, and
they will also be free from seeking after the approval (praises) of men. It is
this "liberty" that allows one to be able to focus very clearly on
God's calling for their life and ministry. It is ONLY as one continually rises
above the fear of man that they will be able to rise above the "leaven"
of unrighteousness (all unrighteousness) - and thus, they will come to
understand what it truly means to be righteously motivated towards both God and
man at all times.
"IT IS CERTAIN THAT TO BE RIGHTEOUSLY MOTIVATED
TOWARDS GOD WE MUST BE FOUND LOVING (OBEYING) HIM WITH OUR WHOLE HEART"
Again,
it is only in one coming to know the deepest thoughts and intentions of the
Father's heart intimately (through the power of the Holy Spirit) that one can
come to understand what it truly means to be righteously motivated in all
things. For as one walks in obedience to the will of God they shall surely be
found being a vessel of His righteousness towards all those who cross their
path - a righteousness that will drive death (and all that proceeds from it)
out, setting the captives free. It is certain that to be righteously motivated
towards God we must be found loving Him with our "whole" heart, and
it is only time in the "inner chamber" that will cause one to be
empowered to abide in the faith and obedience that is pleasing to His heart. It
is also from the place of true intimacy with the Father and His Word that ALL
true ministry begins. For it is from the place of a divine compassion that the
anointing abiding within is released fully in and through the child of God.
"IN THIS HOUR ALL THOSE WHOSE HEARTS ARE WHOLLY
GIVEN TO GOD ARE BEING FASHIONED IN TO AN ARMY"
In
this hour all those whose hearts are wholly given to God are being fashioned
(or formed) into an Army - an Army that is about to move with great precision -
a precision that is born out of each individual's time in the presence of the
Father in the "inner chamber" - and this shall truly be an excellent
thing to behold!
