There will now come an increase in revelations to My people who study
and show themselves approved before Me, and who pray and intercede in their
prayer closets for the lost of the world.
Dear to My heart are those who continuously intercede for My lost
sheep, for they are precious in My sight, and I shall reward you greatly who do
this.
Ask Me for your heart's desires!
You who watch for My Son's soon return and prayer over the souls and
lives of those you do not know have treasure abounding both on earth and
awaiting you in heaven, for there is no better use of your time. (I
felt strongly that this last sentence was a word for someone who has been
asking about prioritizing their time)
To these will I grant many treasures in My Word and in the earth!
2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth.
Matthew 6:5-6: And when thou prayest, thou shalt
not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 18:12: How think ye? if a man have an
hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and
nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
Matthew 6:19: Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through
and steal:
Psalm 37:4: Delight thyself also in the Lord: and
he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
I am struggling with a group of Hindu friends very dear to me they are such kind people. I have recently shown them that the beings they worship are fallen angels as the Lord showed me. They feel offended and I didn't know how to proceed with my time to serve the Lord as my efforts are in vain for gathering the lost.
ReplyDeleteI feel this message was for me I have been asking the Lord day and night about how I can't be responsible for their garments. Praying and crying... I see now that all I can do is pray for a miracle during the harvest so that they change their minds. Thank you.
Jami, my pastor's latest teaching may be of benefit to you. he is teaching us to instead of protesting (showing how they are wrong) we should give them something better - Jesus! let them see Jesus in you through service and love . Let them see that Jesus is better than any Hindu deity they can worship. Blessings
ReplyDeleteyou dont approach people by pointing out what is wrong with them, unless specifically directed to do so by the Lord. Our work is to love others as He does, as an expression of His presence in our lives. People respond naturally to the King of Kings, its not suppposed to be like this, telling people they worship demons etc They will soon see they have been after encountering the King of Glory.

ReplyDeleteGlynda,
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a timely word for me.
Thank you,
Drew
Amen. We pray without ceasing. Revelation 8!
ReplyDeleteHi Jami. Helpful to read ezekiel 3:18-19. If you shared the gospel and all and they repent not then your not accountable, if we withhold the gospel and warnings and they perish then we're accountable.
ReplyDeleteoffending is really neither here nor there, it happens at the simplest words or doesn't happen at the hardest words, go figure. The thought of offending we shouldn't place ourselves under, else we can become men pleasers or not speak when prompted or etc etc as we've stuck ourselves under the idea of not offending, as if that's the highest call..never to offend or something.
It doesn't sound like you at all meant to offend, but often enough the truth offends just as it is. None set out to offend as that's not love, but if acting on a wishing never to offend, then we'd never say anything huh.
Sometimes I hear some express their afraid of offending and have struggles with sharing, fear is not love, love casts out fear. And afraid to offend also speaks that they have subjected themselves to the world and it's opinions and more etc, which is a snare and stymie's/quenches the Spirit. If we think we lack anything we can ask, the Lord gives liberally especially the eternal things of the kingdom and we can increase love and all fruits of the Holy Spirit right here in this lifetime. Sow to the Spirit and it goes with another recent article here on being in the Word daily as the Word is Spirit and is life and is alive and active and more...!
the harvest requires planters of the seed, waterers, God causes the growth. No work done in the Spirit is in vain, that's the enemy talking. Many we share with we may never see again..yet one day they come to Christ, and we don't know and think we work in vain, the enemy's lie's. Don't grow weary of doing good for in due time we'll see the rewards. Faith comes by hearing, how can they hear unless one speaks. And God sends the Word out and it does not return to Him void but completes the purpose for which it sent.
we ourselves read some passage and it speaks to us, and is hard to take, yet we're not offended. Speaking as led of the Spirit and grace He brings that word to them with all love. The Holy Spirit brings it..we just speak with grace and patience as led. And prayer too yes. 2nd tim 2:24-26 is related.
and with many words there is offense..so that's the end of my comment lol :))
