THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH - 2009
january 5th
THE TRUE [GLORIOUS] CHURCH WILL CONSIST OF ALL THOSE WHO REFUSE TO
DEVIATE FROM THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS - THOSE WHO HOLD FAST TO THE HEAD, WHO
SUPPLIES ALL
Matthew 5:13 states: ...."You are the light of
the world"....
Isaiah 60:1 states: ...."Now I will arise, now I will be
exalted"....
Jeremiah 33: states: ...."It shall be to Me a name of joy, praise and
glory"....
These are
all expressions of God's will for His people - both individually and
corporately, in the Church. In this passage in Jeremiah, God is speaking of the
"resurrected" Church, the Body of Christ. As we look out upon many
areas of the church today it is not a name of joy and praise and glory to God.
We see misrepresentation, we see error and we see death in the place where
light [revelation] and life alone should stand. We can praise God that that day
has come to an end! In these days, as the people of God individually consecrate
themselves unto Him [and, thus, begin to seek only to walk in the fullness of
their calling and destiny] they will continually fill and saturate their heart
with the Word of God, and seek His face in the "inner chamber". This
will allow the Anointing that abides within them to work in His fullness
[without measure] in their lives - empowering these faithful ones to become
that one True Body in the unity of the Holy Spirit that the Father so desires.
The True [Glorious] Church will consist of all those who steadfastly refuse to
deviate from the paths of righteousness - those who hold fast to the Head, who
supplies all.
IN THIS STATE OF INEXPRESSIBLE GLORY THAT SHALL SOON MANIFEST IN THE
EARTH EVERY WORD WE SPEAK SHALL COME TO PASS ACCORDING TO THE HIGHEST PURPOSE
OF THE FATHER BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN US
It is only as we come to
"abide" in Christ that we shall be considered a "spotless and
unblemished" Church - and, thus, the most "distinguishable"
people in this earth. In this state of inexpressible Glory that shall soon
manifest in the earth every word we speak shall come to pass according to the
highest purpose of the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit within us -
regardless of what it takes for Him to bring it to pass in the physical realm [Jeremiah 1:12]. In other words,
in this last of the last hour, God will back every word His faithful ones speak
because they will be found in "perfect accordance" with His Will! We
are talking of the very highest level of faith [an absolute faith working
through a perfect love], and the need for every believer to come to the place
wherein they are, at ALL times, in absolute dependence upon God and His power.
As one fills their heart to overflowing with the Word of God, EVERY word that
springs forth out of their heart shall be found in "perfect"
accordance with the will of God. Because of their faithfulness in allowing the
deepest work of the Cross to be done continually by the Holy Spirit any desire
within them to serve themselves will have been removed.
THEN - AND ONLY THEN - CAN THE POWER OF GOD BE FREELY ENTRUSTED TO
THEM
As one truly desires to
do ALL of God's will ALL of the time, and as they seek only to wait upon God
for revelation of that will [and, thus, come to "fear" presumption -
counting it as an abomination] THEN - AND ONLY THEN - can the power of God be
freely entrusted to them. As one "ministers" from this position of an
absolute faith in the unhindered power of the Holy Spirit, the captives shall
indeed be gloriously set free! These are the "works of Jesus", and
also the "greater works" that He spoke of [John 14:12]. There is
nothing "complicated" about how Jesus came to this earth and walked
in the power of God - and did many, many great things. But let us take our eyes
off of the "things", and let us diligently be found seeking to have a
revelation of how those works came to pass. For, as we do, we shall surely come
to a deep revelation of the fact that the very same Provision [the Holy Spirit]
that empowered Jesus is there to empower us also!
