THE FRUIT OF THE INNER CHAMBER
 
                                                                                                                      SECTION ONE


                           THERE MUST BE A DISTINCT DRAWING NEAR TO GOD ON OUR PART IN THE INNER CHAMBER - DAILY

        ....For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.  I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread. Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy. There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth;  I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Psalm 132:13 -18  

        It is the will of the Father to pour out the "fullness" of all that He has provided for His precious children, in Christ. In order for us to partake fully of all that is ours in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit there must be a distinct drawing near to God on our part in the "inner chamber" - DAILY. It is as we are faithful to do this that the "fruit" of the inner chamber shall begin to penetrate our lives deeply, and begin to flow forth through us to affect everyone and everything that crosses our path. As we enter into the holy presence of our God certain manifestations begin to take place deep within our being. Firstly, we begin to come to know the love of the Father as never before, and this produces a divine restoration [spirit, soul and body] and perfect liberty that can only be described as glorious! When we enter into the secret place of Gods presence there is a continual light that both shines and penetrates every last element of darkness and fear that is found in the depths of our heart. ANY unforgiveness, self-desire, pride, rebellion etc. becomes totally exposed in this place.

IN THE PLACE OF HOLY CONTRITION BEFORE THE FATHER THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION OR ACCUSATION - OR ANY OTHER ELEMENT OF DEATH AND DARKNESS

        This is precisely why many children of God fear taking the step of faith "into the fire" so to speak. When a stronghold of pride and fear is perpetuated over a great amount of time one of the main lies of the Evil One is to convince the child of God [even though that one is seeking to be free from the bondage of self] that they could never enter into the presence of a holy God - and that SURELY condemnation and accusation await them - and that it will cause them even more pain [a pain that Satan himself has been tormenting them with] if they allow themselves to be totally exposed as they open their heart wide. This, of course, is exactly the opposite of what awaits the one who makes the quality decision to let go of ALL fear, and take the step of faith necessary that will lead them directly into the Father's loving arms. It is a most unfortunate thing that people would consciously - or even unconsciously - "allow" themselves to "hold part back" from God. For in the "maintaining" of fear and pride their heart is not "wholly" given and, thus, they will not have any desire to approach the Father in the inner chamber. It is when, by an act of their will, one decides that they are no longer willing to have any form of self-desire in their lives that they will take the steps of faith and obedience that will bring them into the presence of God. Many have such a perverted view of the Father and His character but the reality is that He is perfect, and He IS love. The scriptures also state that our God is a "consuming" fire. When you place all of these things together then we gain a revelation that to take the aforementioned step of faith "into the fire" is exactly the opposite to what Satan and his forces "attempt" to portray. In the place of holy contrition before the Father there is NO condemnation or accusation or any other element of death and darkness. There is only perfect love - a perfect love [fire] that casts out any element of fear that still remains, and replaces it with the very Glory [presence and knowledge] of the Father, Himself.

                                                                                                                       SECTION TWO


 AS ONE COMES INTO A DEEP REVELATION OF THE FATHERS LOVE AND APPROVAL [ACCEPTANCE] THE FEAR OF MAN [WHAT OTHERS THINK] WILL BECOME A THING OF THE PAST, AND WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY POWER OVER ONES LIFE AND MINISTRY

        ...."But as for Me, I have installed [established] My King[s] upon Zion, My holy mountain"....
                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                            Psalm 2:6

        ...."Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth"....

                                                                                                                 Psalm 50: 2

        ...."How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring, the early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Psalm 84: 5-7

        Another fruit of quality time spent in the inner chamber is that the child of God will, ultimately, enter into the place of "abiding" in an absolute faith and trust in the Father and His Word, alone. It is only in this place of gaining a revelation of the call to an absolute faith [love] that there will come the total absence of fear in ones life. One of the great aspects of our Covenant is that, through the Blood of Jesus shed at Calvary, our perfect liberty was purchased. It must be clearly understood though that the precious Blood that was shed was so that we, as Christians, might enter into the place wherein we NO LONGER LIVE FOR OURSELVES. One of the great problems in the church at large is that vast multitudes continue to live for themselves - forsaking the exercising of a divine faith and love to walk in the bondage of fear - and the "wisdom of the world" that is its spontaneous by-product. Another fruit that is born in the inner chamber is that our love-walk is perfected. It is in this holy place that every ground of fear and self-reliance is both exposed and consumed - eternally. As one comes into a deep revelation of the Father's love and approval [acceptance] the fear of man [what others think] will become a thing of the past, and will no longer have ANY power over ones life and ministry.

IT IS THE TIME ONE SPENDS IN THE INNER CHAMBER THAT NO ONLY INITIATES THE PROCESS OF REVELATION BUT ACCLIMATIZES THAT ONE TO HEAR THE STILL, SMALL VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

        As these various fears are removed it is THEN that there will be no hindrances [blockages] in their heart and, thus, the Word of God will have perfect entrance into their innermost being. This "entrance" produces great light and revelation, and this light and revelation is the "root" or necessary empowerment for the child of God to enter into the place of abiding in a perfect obedience. It bears repeating that perfect obedience in the sight of the Father ALWAYS consists of two components. The first is the aforementioned revelation knowledge that comes only through the Holy Spirit, and the second is the total empowerment of the Holy Spirit from start to finish in the carrying out of everything that has been revealed to the faithful heart. It is impossible to obey God without these two components "actively" working in the heart of the believer. It is the time one spends in the inner chamber that not only initiates the process of revelation but acclimatizes that one to hear the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. When you consider also that in this place of stillness before the Father and His Word in the "inner chamber" great light is continually flooding [saturating] the spirit and soul [not to mention the extremely positive effect that it will have on ones body] there is no excuse for the child of God to be bound by the darkness and fear and rebellion that cause them to either venture out presumptiously [believing that they are carrying out the will of God when, in reality, they are not] or be bound by the fear and passivity which precludes that one from moving out in faith and obedience in the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us be those who continually seek to take "full advantage" of all that the Father has gloriously provided for us, in Christ. And let us also be those who come to a deep and abiding revelation of the importance of time spent in the "inner chamber" - for it is in that place alone that the fruit of the divine nature is born in our lives.

                                                                                                                    SECTION  THREE


THROUGH OVER TWENTY CENTURIES SATAN HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PERVERT AND DISGUISE THE WILL OF GOD CONCERNING "SPIRITUAL ZION"

        .... that He might present to Himself the Church in all her Glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Ephesians 5:27
 
        In these days, it is the Fathers desire for each and every one of His children to be "filled" with a revelation of His true purpose and plan for a Glorious Church. There are vast multitudes of Gods children who are still unaware [although they should be aware] of the fullness of His plan for a Church that far transcends the bondage and powerlessness of the denominational structure. Through over twenty centuries Satan has been allowed to pervert and disguise the will of God concerning "spiritual Zion" but one has only to diligently study out the scriptures to both see and understand that - UP UNTIL THIS TIME - the church at large has fallen far, far short of the Glory of God that will most certainly manifest in this final hour in the midst of a holy people. There are only two types of knowledge in this earth: revelation knowledge and sense knowledge. Those children of God who still maintain a desire to cling to "sense-knowledge" [an adherence to the five physical senses as ones final authority] will be found devoid of a revelation of the Fathers plan for a spotless and unblemished Church - without exception. This causes a great problem in the midst of Gods people. For in not gaining a revelation of the true plan of God they are found continually "mentally ascending" to the Word [Will] of God  and, thus, much error and many false doctrines are the result - including the establishment of many "false" prophetic timetables. Another fruit of the inner chamber is that one will gain a continually deeper revelation of the heart of the Father and His Word, and this will produce great clarity concerning all things - and also produce a smooth and absolute transition from any form of sin-consciousness into a righteousness-consciousness and the fullness of Kingdom-living.

IT IS ONLY AN "ABIDING" RIGHTEOUSNESS-CONSCIOUSNESS THAT WILL PRODUCE A DEEP REVELATION OF ONES INHERITANCE AND AUTHORITY IN CHRIST

        It is only an "abiding" righteousness-consciousness that will produce a deep revelation of ones inheritance and authority in Christ, and it is only in one gaining a revelation of [and walking in] the fullness of one's inheritance and authority in Christ that one will fulfill ALL that they were created for from before the foundations of the earth. Again, the importance of the inner chamber comes to the forefront. Many still attempt to carry out the will of God when, in reality, they have neither a revelation of it, nor are they properly motivated to carry it out in their darkened understanding. Again, as one enters into the inner chamber on a daily basis it will produce great clarity in every area of their life and ministry and, most importantly, they will receive an ever expanding revelation of the true plan of the Father for a Glorious Church. As one gains a revelation of the Glorious Church - and their perfect part in it - it is certain that they will also receive the true "apostolic" anointing that is now being released in the hearts of those who truly love God. A simple definition of this true apostolic anointing and authority that is now being released in the Church [and which is the spontaneous fruit of life in the inner chamber] is this: the impartation of Christ - ALL IN ALL! The essence of all true "apostolic motivation" is that one strive - in and by the power of the Holy Spirit - to glorify the Father to the greatest degree in all things, and from the place of an "abiding" righteousness speak and do ONLY that which is for the the greatest eternal benefit of His people. From these things, one can see clearly that once again there will be a "true servanthood" [a true working five-fold ministry] raised up in this final hour - one that will not greedily fleece or abuse the sheep in the pursuit of "self-glory". Let us be diligent to spend the necessary time in the inner chamber in these most critical days. For it is certain that the lid is about to come off, and there shall be great revelation and wisdom released in this hour in the hearts of all those who are truly seeking first the establishment of the True [Glorious] Church - and the Kingdom - revelation and wisdom that will truly astound the world on every front.

                                                                                                                      SECTION  FOUR


ANOTHER FRUIT OF TIME SPENT IN THE "INNER CHAMBER" IS BOTH GAINING A REVELATION OF AND EXPERIENCING [WALKING IN] TRUE RELATIONSHIP

        .... Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited [arrogant and inflated with pride]; it is not rude [unmannerly and does not act unbecomingly. Love [Gods love in us] does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]....
                                                                                                                                                                                                1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a  Amplified Translation

        Another fruit of time spent in the "inner chamber" is both gaining a revelation of and experiencing [walking in] true relationship. In these days, every Christian needs to know and understand what it is to be loved by the Father. Once one has a deep and abiding revelation of the Father's love FOR THEM they will NEVER have the "fear of man" again [seek after the approval and praises of flesh and blood] - as long as both that revelation and proper relationship with Him are maintained by the Spirit of Grace. One will never have a problem with unforgiveness and bitterness - or any "issues" that they may have had with their own earthly parents [or lack thereof] because they will have come to the full realization that the Heavenly Father, in reality, is their one, true Father - and that He has a "perfect" and abiding love towards them. Having a revelation of the Father's "perfect" love is the catalyst to one "abiding" in an absolute trust toward [faith in] Him. The essence of all "true" relationship is based on our fellowship with - and our obedience to - the Father and His Word. Any "relationship" forged in the flesh [a relationship forged with a view to one fulfilling their own agenda and meeting their own selfish desires] leads only to an "emotional attachment" [soul-tie], and to the degree that that "relationship" is pursued [maintained] it is to that degree that Satan is enabled to build a "stronghold" [barrier] of idolatry that keeps that one separated from a "perfect" fellowship with the Father in the inner chamber.

                                                                                        THE VISION OF THE "CASCADING" FOUNTAIN

        Some time ago, the Father gave me a vision, and in it I saw a large fountain that was very tall and round. It had successive layers from the top to the bottom that grew larger until they reached the base. At the very top there was a "never-ending" flow of water gushing out [this represents the fruit of true relationship with the Father in our time spent with Him, and His love being continually shed abroad in our heart], and as it flowed forth unhindered it filled the first layer of the fountain [this represents those closest to us], and that layer then overflowed as the water cascaded over every remaining layer. The "remaining layers" represent all those who have crossed - and who will cross - our path in the glorious days ahead. The whole key to this vision is that as we "maintain" a close and intimate fellowship with the Father in the "inner chamber" then - and ONLY then - will our priorities be straight. And then - and ONLY then - will we truly love God, and truly love all those that He has placed in our life and in the path of ministry - thus fulfilling the command to "love one another", regardless of where we are called to walk in our remaining time in this dispensation.  If we have proper fellowship with the Father and His Word, THEN the rest of our "relationships" shall be ruled by the love of God, and we will be found doing and saying only those things that represent perfectly the heart of the Father - whether that love is ever returned or not.

A GLORIOUS CONNECTION CAN BE SIMPLY DEFINED AS A RELATIONSHIP IN THE BODY OF CHRIST THAT HAS BEEN "CONNECTED" OR JOINED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT - AND IS MAINTAINED BY HIS POWER, ALONE [THE SPIRIT OF LOVE]

        ...."Behold, how good and how pleasant if for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, coming down upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing - life forever"....
                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Psalm 133:1-3 NASB

        Another fruit of the inner chamber is that revelation will come forth concerning the "glorious connections" that the Father has ordained for each one of His children - with a view to the carrying out of the "Kingdom-service" that they are called to. A glorious connection can be simply defined as a relationship in the Body of Christ that has been "connected" or joined by the Holy Spirit - and is maintained by His power, alone [the Spirit of Love]. It is only as one spends quality time in the inner chamber that they will ever enter into an "abiding" obedience, and it is only from that place of obedience that they will be found in the "right place" at the "right time" to experience the "glorious connections" that the Father has ordained for them. The Father is establishing "glorious connections" in the midst of all those who are truly seeking first His Kingdom - those who seek to be righteously motivated in all things. He is bringing those together who will walk in love - at ALL cost to themselves - [first towards Himself and, then, towards all those He has blessed them with] in order to establish His perfect purpose [the Glorious Church and the Kingdom] in the earth. One of the chief characteristics in each of these "holy" relationships that are being [and have already been] divinely established in this hour is that the heart of each individual is "wholly given" to the Will of God - both individually and corporately.

DIVINE CONNECTIONS ARE A HOLY THING IN THE SIGHT OF THE FATHER - AND WHAT TRANSPIRES THROUGH THEM IN OUR REMAINING TIME IN THIS DISPENSATION ONLY ETERNITY CAN "FULLY" REVEAL

        It is only as one's heart is "wholly" given to the highest purposes of the Father [a state of heart that is "maintained" through time spent in the inner chamber] that godly desire will continually override any form of self-desire [self-agenda] that the "spirit of division" will surely attempt to lure the faithful one into. One of the great purposes of the various aforementioned divine connections [at least two or more people] is that they shall enter into ministry together, and they shall go forth in great power to release the "fullness" of the Fathers vision [plan] concerning the "Glorious Church" in their particular locality [or worldwide if that is the calling]. And, in continuing to draw upon the "anointings" in their midst, and in their "continued" fellowship and unity [in and by the power of the Holy Spirit] there will be a great multiplication and expansion in their midst [both spiritually and prosperity-wise] and, thus, shall they fulfil entirely and perfectly the "ministry" - both individually and corporately - that they have been have anointed to carry out in this final hour. The essence of ALL true unity lies in the individual believer's fellowship [relationship] with the Father and His Word, and it is ONLY through time in His presence [and the gaining of the revelation that is its spontaneous by-product] that the Father shall be enabled to set up the necessary "glorious connections" to establish true [divine] government in the midst of His people in this most glorious hour. Divine "government" is established in and by the Holy Spirit [the Spirit of wisdom and revelation], and ordered from on high - through a perpetual state of righteousness in the hearts of all those who are involved. It is NOT a ruling body [organization] formed by the hand of men in a "spirit of mental ascension" to the will and true plan of the Father! Let us be those who are found to be in "the right[eous] place at the right time" that we might be established perfectly in these days in the glorious connections that the Father has prepared for us on EVERY level - in order that we might accomplish all that we were created to accomplish, in Christ. These divine connections are a holy thing in the sight of the Father - and what transpires through them in our remaining time in this dispensation only eternity can "fully" reveal.

                                                                                                                       SECTION  SIX


A "TRUE" SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT IS DEFINED SIMPLY AS A PLACE WHERE THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE ALL THAT THEY DESIRE TO BE IN ANY GIVEN MOMENT

        ...."And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul"....

                                                                                                                                   Acts 4:32a

        As divine connections are established by the Father in this hour in the remant Church in every nation it will produce many true, corporate spiritual environments. A "true" spiritual environment is defined simply as a place where the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit can be ALL that they desire to be in ANY given moment. In a "true" spiritual environment - an environment where the Word of God is going forth exactly the way that the Father would have it go forth - the "incorruptible seed" of His Word will be sown [planted] in the hearts of the people. As the hearers THEN go forth - in obedience - to spend time with the Father in the "inner chamber" He is able to enlighten them further on the "seeds" that have been imparted to their heart. In this way one can see that great spiritual growth will be produced in these true spiritual environments in the days ahead, and many shall be perfectly prepared to enter into the "fullness" of their Kingdom-position in this last hour. A true, corporate environment will always produce a people who walk by revelation [faith] - a people in whom there is continually created a deep hungering and thirsting after righteousness [the Will of God]. Because these people refuse to speak or move apart from the revelation knowledge abiding in their heart, one accord and true unity of the Spirit manifest spontaneously in their midst.

                                                                                          THERE WILL BE NO ENEMY IN THE CAMP

        One of the great blessings that comes forth as the people of God in these environments remain steadfast in their love for the Father and his Word - and for each other - is that there will be NO enemy in the camp. Because of this, each individual member of the body is free to grow up into the fullness of the stature of Christ [the fullness of their inheritance]. In these days, as these true spiritual environments experience a continually greater presence of the Lord then literally every enemy, and the ground in them that was used by Satan and his forces to cause division and strife, will be removed and, also, as they are faithful to keep watch as "gatekeepers" no enemy will enter in. It is a wondrous thing to experience an environment wherein the love of God is manifested freely and without measure - and, thus, every last child of God should be found diligently seeking the proper spiritual positioning that the Father has for them in these days. In this final hour, as great multiplication and growth [both spiritually and physically] continues to take place in the remnant Church we are going to both see and experience things that we could never have thought possible this side of Heaven, itself. Let us be faithful and obedient to the Lord in our own time in the "inner chamber" - for it an "abiding" obedience in each of our own individual lives that produces the true corporate spiritual environments that the Father so desires. Truly, it is time to blow a trumpet in Zion - a time for the Army of the Lord to arise - for the day of the Lord is upon us!

                                                                                                                      SECTION  SEVEN


                                                              ANOTHER FRUIT OF THE "INNER CHAMBER" IS SUPERNATURAL REST

        ...."If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor it, desisting from your own ways, from seeking your own pleasure, and speaking your own word, then you will take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth [see Ephesians 1:20]; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Isaiah 58:13-14 NASB

        Another fruit of the "inner chamber" is supernatural rest - and the essence of all true rest is trust in God. The Father is "simplifying" things for us in this hour through the absolute truth that is coming forth from the Throne Room. Our task is to be ready to receive, and to enter into the place of rest - "knowing" that He is faithful in ALL things. The Fathers deepest heart-desire is for us to come to the place wherein we "trust" Him entirely. The Devils scheme from the time of ones birth is to cause them to come into a "mistrust" of God - thus keeping them from entering into the place of intimate fellowship in the "inner chamber" with Him. This is because dwelling [abiding] in the presence of the Father and His Word is the key to receiving the "fullness" of all that the Father has for us - including our absolute authority, in Christ. It is also the key to a divine [and perfect] empowerment in ALL things! The Father has a "fool proof" plan for the Glorious Church but if one does not love Him with their "whole heart" in this final hour THEN they are going to miss "their" perfect part in it. Again, revelation is the key for one to be found abiding in perfect obedience, and the key to one "guarding" their heart with "all" diligence, acknowledging God in "all" of our ways - and, thus, coming to the place of "abiding" in "revelation knowledge" - is the inner chamber.

THE FORCE OF FAITH - WORKING FROM THE POSITION OF AN ABIDING LOVE - IS THE IMPETUS AND EMPOWERMENT IN ALL TRUE KINGDOM-SERVICE

        The force of faith - working from the position of an abiding love - is the impetus and empowerment in ALL true Kingdom-service. In these days we need to be "partakers" of the Word on an ongoing basis - spending time in the inner chamber, daily. We need to be those who meditate in the Word of God day and night, and continually bring EVERY thought captive to the revelation knowledge that will be the sure and certain by-product of our time spent in that diligent meditation before the Father and His Word. Everything that the Father requires of us is based on an ongoing relationship with Him - and an ongoing reliance upon [trust in] Him. If one does not enter into the place of a total reliance upon [and trust in] the Father and His Word in this last hour THEN they will SURELY come into a place of total reliance upon themselves - and, thus, the lies of the Evil One - and will not even realize that they have departed from the perfect will of God for their life and ministry. In the days ahead, those of God's children who are truly seeking Him with ALL of their heart will be very, very conscious [through a "divine" assurance that continually rises up in their heart] of the fact that they are abiding in the center of His perfect will for their life and ministry. The darkness and the "pressures" are going to increase continually in this last hour, but so is the presence of the Glory of God in those whose hearts are faithful toward Him. 

                                                                      6  NECESSARY REVELATIONS TO BE GAINED IN THE "INNER CHAMBER"

1.      Every child of God must continually seek to come to the place wherein they have a revelation of each and every aspect of the glorious Covenant they have with the Father, in Christ.

2.      Gaining and maintaining a deep revelation of the precious Blood of Jesus - and its powerful effects  - is the key to "consistent" fellowship in the "inner chamber"

3.      As one enters into the fullness of their salvation [inheritance] in Christ in this Third Day they are going to have to be "continually" clothed and empowered by the precious Blood of Jesus - in order to both enter into, and carry out, the fullness of their destiny, in Christ.

4.      All true kingdom work is predicated upon one being solely in [doing nothing apart from] Christ and, therefore, one must have an "abiding" revelation burning within their heart that THEY ARE "the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus".

5.      If we have the deep assurance in our heart [through revelation] that we are in the center of the Father's will and purpose in any given moment then it is certain that we shall be found standing [overcoming] in all things. The inner chamber is the key.

6.      Every child of God needs to know and understand what it is to be loved by the Father. Having a revelation of the Father's perfect love and character is the catalyst to one "abiding" in an absolute trust and faith in Him.

Let us hear the words of the Father:

                                                             THE KEY TO THE LIFE OF PERFECT OBEDIENCE IS THE "INNER CHAMBER"

        ....The key to the life of perfect obedience is the "inner chamber"! Without spending the time in fellowship with Me that I require My children can never abide in that position that will allow them to receive the fullness of the authority I have blessed them with in Christ. And without the "fullness" of autority they shall fall short of the fullness of My will. My sole aim in this last hour is to lead My children into the fullness of "My Best".

Therefore, teach My children these things for My time has come!"....

MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE:


+       Only the foolish decide what God wants, the wise wait to "hear" God.

+       Waiting on the Lord should be a time of peace, for we know that His Word never fails and we know that He is always present.

+       Persecutions are not necessarily received as "evidence" of righteousness. Only God is the judge of what is truly righteous. No persecution which is truly for the Word's sake can overwhelm us, for we shall surely be upheld by the Lord's power.

+       It is easy for one to be carried away by emotions when they are depending on their own wisdom. Any and every action, no matter how evil, can be falsely justified if one's heart is not wholly given!

+       The line between fleshly warfare and spiritual warfare is very fine. You must never use past experiences to base your judgement on the course of action to be taken. Any action outside of God's will shall surely result in failure.

+       Our purpose here is not to force or require others to believe as we do. We are here to present the truth to those who are seeking Him.

+       True Christianity is the eternal enemy of the "world system". The world system must attempt to destroy Christianity or it will perish completely - and perish it shall!

+       The child of God should enter into marriage only under God's "specific" direction!

+       We call on God in the pressure-filled times, why not in the times of rest and prosperity?

+       Man, apart from God, is a fear-filled entity. He must preserve himself, giving only out of his abundance, never out of his very life.

+       Too many desire to be judge and jury over everything and everyone. Rare is the person who can turn away from "judging" and trust God to take care of the problem.

+       It takes a diligent effort to hear God's will - and to remain in it.

        ...."Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them. Don't be misled-you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone-especially to those in the family of faith"....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Galatians 6:6-10 [NLT]
My Children,

        Consider the promises which I have given to you, for the hour of blessing is coming your way. For I have opened the windows of heaven and this is a glorious new day for My faithful ones. Soon My promises will begin to manifest just as I have promised they would. Nothing is able to hold them back. Soon your breakthroughs will come like floods upon parched ground. Rejoicing  among My people will once again be heard, as victories break out everywhere and every place. This is the day of restoration and I am with you to break the powers of hell to silence the intimidator.
 
        I, even I, will undertake to answer those moving with Me. In your patience you will possess the land and I will restore to you what the enemy has stolen. I will assist in hastening the process and bring about the desired resultby the workings of My Spirit.
 
        Yes My children, you shall bypass the unwilling and move forward to take possession of the land. But to those who rebel and grieve My Spirit in this hour, I will remove My candlestick from among you and darkness will overtake you until the coming day of the Lord.
 
        And to those who revel in your sins and heed not My words, I will turn you over to your lust and your corruption shall be complete. I will remove you from the ranks and because you have grieved My Spirit your anxieties shall consume you. I will take what was yours give it to another.
 
        For this is the day of vindication for those who have labored without fame or fanfare, for those who labored in obscurity. Your works shall prove that your calling is of Me, says the Lord. For I have given to you My plans and given you the power to comprehend them.
 
        Therefore, arise oh ye ministers of grace,  prepare your messages of restoration and hope. Proclaim again the good news to the poor. For this is the day of great conquest.  Watch and see how I gather together those who are willing to be an integral part of the work I am doing.  My people, rejoice as I unite those who will function with one heart and one mind.

                             LET NO ONE DISSUADE YOU OR HOLD YOU BACK OR KEEP YOU FROM KNOWING THE LOVE OF THE FATHER

        I call to you, My people, from on high. I call to you that you might know your Father. If you knew Him as I know Him, you would not doubt of His love. You would be sustained by His love. You will find as you go from glory to glory that His love is the sustaining grace and the power of the kingdom within. Set aside all despair, all disappointments, and all disruption. Come aside with Me, into My presence and into My rest. Let the times of refreshing come upon you to nourish you in the power of His love, and then you shall go forth in that strength, and the banner over you will be His love to carry you forth into your purposes in the kingdom. Let no one dissuade you or hold you back or keep you from knowing the love of the Father through Me, for if you have beheld Me you have seen Him. Arise in this hour to a new height where there is new understanding and fresh revelation, says the Lord Jesus Christ.

                               THE SENSE OF BEING IN CONTROL IS A COMFORT TO YOUR FLESH, BUT IT HINDERS THE FLOW OF MY SPIRIT

        I will do a particular and valuable work in your heart if you will allow it. I will reveal all stubbornness and rebellion that cause you to want things to be according to your own will instead of yielding by the Spirit to My will. Your unwillingness springs from your carnal nature and hinders the flow of spiritual blessings in your life. I speak to many who have lived your life trying to manipulate situations, circumstances and people so that you could be in control. The sense of being in control is a comfort to your flesh, but it hinders the flow of My Spirit. My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. I will bring you to your highest good and greatest blessings if you will allow Me to do this work, says the Lord.

Galatians 6:8  For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

                                                           BE PREPARED TO BE CONFRONTED AND TESTED BY THE FIRE OF MY SPIRIT

        The fires of purification are burning red-hot. The fire is testing your works to see whether or not they can withstand the heat. Be prepared to be confronted and tested by the fire of My Spirit. Quickly let go of everything of the flesh that is being consumed so that what remains is pure. Many of the issues you will face in this time of testing are things you have ignored or hoped would simply go unnoticed, but it is to your advantage that these things go through the fire, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15  Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

                                                                                      RISE UP AND REJOICE IN A NEW BEGINNING

        Now is the time when you can find answers to questions or conclusions to long- standing dilemmas. You can now get closure on things that have kept you from moving forward in the flow of spiritual progression. Even though this time may cause some consternation or make you feel unsettled temporarily, you will soon have a sense of relief and freedom. Rise up and rejoice in a new beginning, says the Lord.

Psalm 146:5-10   Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked He turns upside down. The LORD shall reign forever-- Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

                                           THIS IS A TIME OF RESTORATION, CONSERVATION, OF PRESERVATION AND OF GATHERING

        Be aware that you may be seduced by numerous distractions that would be unproductive, a waste of time, energy and resources. Be alert and stay focused in order to avoid any level of dissipation. This is a time of restoration, of conservation, of preservation and of gathering. It is not a time to allow distractions to cause you to be scattered or to be spread too thin. Quiet your soul when temptations come and judge the outcome of your decisions. Be strong and resolute, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:13   No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

                                                YOU WILL NOW BEGIN TO SEE THE UNVEILING OF A NEW ORDER IN MY KINGDOM

        My people, you will now begin to see the unveiling of a new order in My kingdom. In this time I will establish truth and justice, and in this process hidden indiscretions will come to light and will be judged, for you are entering a time of disclosure. By the same token, those who have committed sins and have lost fellowship with Me will begin to seek to be restored to their kingdom position. Their restoration will depend on whether or not they are truly repentant. Those who have an ear to hear will begin to raise up a standard of spiritual and moral integrity for this new plateau. You will be required to question what you really believe, and thus define your doctrine more precisely. You will have to examine your code of ethics to make sure that your responses are consistent with the Word. Be on guard, for this new level of kingdom experience will be met with opposition from the enemy. This war will be called the Battle of Integrity as you face circumstances, situations, tests and trials that reveal your heart. War is always required to take new spiritual territory. If you yield to the work of My Spirit, you can win these battles one decision at a time as you establish and maintain integrity. You, My Church, are in a process of preparation, which will result in your being without spot and blameless, says the Lord.

Ephesians 5:25 -27 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

YOU MUST ALIGN YOUR WILL WITH MINE, SAYS THE LORD, BY ASKING IN FAITH FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE AND THEN BY YIELDING TO MY DIRECTION

        You can expect for the spiritual fog to begin to lift so that you can see with greater clarity. The decisions that you make at this time will be born out of truth and justice rather than coming from a need to simply survive. You can enter into this place of righteous momentum by the Spirit, which will open a direct way through a maze of dead ends that you have experienced in the recent past. But, you must align your will with Mine, says the Lord, by asking in faith for divine guidance and then by yielding to My direction.

Proverbs 4:12   When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.
