You Will See the Cross
Things
shall begin going in unexpected directions in many of your lives. Trust Me.
Trust
Me.
I
know where we are going and I know how to get you there, but I must have your
unfailing trust in these matters.
At
times, you will think you have been derailed from your purpose, or that you
have missed My will. This is especially true in the lives of My children when
things do not go according to their imaginations of the proper order or My
intents and purposes, but I say to you now, My children, that you do not always
know or correctly discern My intents and purposes. For My thoughts are higher
than your thoughts, and My ways and intents will always be for the greater good
of My overall Kingdom, whereas you tend to focus more on one or two lives, or
for your own pleasures.
In
these end times, I require effective warriors, those who have truly been tried
by fire, purified for My higher use. Those who have walked the valleys of
hardship and remained strong in the face of all they encountered, those who
will speak boldly for My cause, not cower in fear before public opinion.
Will
you be My warrior? Can you qualify? Or do you look down on others who live
differently than you? Those whose choices led them a different path, yet still
I choose to use? Are they your brothers, too?
I
judge the hearts and reins, but many of My children still judge by what they
see. Look more deeply, My children.
Look
for Me in what you see.
You
will see the Cross in what is of Me.
Proverbs 3:5-7:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy
paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
Isaiah 55:9:
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Zechariah 13:9:
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as
silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my
name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say,
The LORD is my God.
1 Peter 1:7:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 6:19-20:
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth
boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an
ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
James 2:1-5:
1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a
gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile
raiment;
3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay
clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor,
Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are
become judges of evil thoughts?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen
the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath
promised to them that love him?
Jeremiah 17:10:
I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according
to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
