Now is the time of letting
go of the things of the earth for My people. What is on the earth can only
encumber you in what is to come.
Though I give My children
many treasures and pleasures on the earth to enjoy for a season, it is
imperative you be ready and willing to release these things back to Me when
their season is done, that you may remain free and unencumbered to fully walk
out My will for you. This is My desire and what I require of those I am
promoting to higher levels in Me.
Always be ready.
NOTE: In my
spirit, I was shown the Lord is talking about houses, jobs, careers, finances,
and relationships that can hold us back when He says go, or move here or
yonder. Nothing is to be placed
before Him. I was also shown that He is beginning now to ask for some of these back to test those whom He wants to
promote the highest, or to give the most. He showed me that those who give
these up readily, who do not hold back or hesitate, will be quickly promoted to
levels that will amaze them. The Lord showed me the wealthy ruler in Luke 18.
He was more attached to his wealth and earthly pleasures than the Lord, so he
could not give them up.
Psalm 52:7: Lo, this is the man that made not God
his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened
himself in his wickedness.
Luke 18:18-23:
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good
Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me
good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy
father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my
youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said
unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute
unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful:
for he was very rich.

Reminds me of Abraham's test in Genesis Chapter 22:
ReplyDelete[1] After these things, God tempted Abraham, and said to him: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am. [2] He said to him: Take thy only begotten son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and go into the land of vision: and there thou shalt offer him for an holocaust upon one of the mountains which I will shew thee. [3] So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass: and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son...
[9] And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it: and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood. [10] And he put forth his hand and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
[11] And behold an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am. [12] And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
[16] By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake: [17] I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies. [18] And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice.

[15] And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
[16] By my own self have I sworn, saith the Lord: because thou hast done this thing, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake: [17] I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore: thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies.

ReplyDeleteAmen. On the first day of Spring, God showed me it was time to do Spring Cleaning in all areas of my life. One of the first places was friendships, something I have been struggling with. I desire to let go of everything that needs to be let go of, and to hold onto everything I need to hold onto. This is hard, but I feel so much uncleanliness and clutter...and look forward to feeling more free and closer to God. This word, and the song really spoke to me. I am in a storm and look forward to getting out. I'm working on praying and putting on the armor of God. Thank you so much for sharing, it is very encouraging.
ReplyDeleteHaven't found a job in almost a year, I think I finally found why. Please pray for me, rough season.
