Regret or Reward?
I
have spoken to you to leave behind the things of the past, yet many of you
still cling to it. You cling to the people, the places, the things of the past
that have no place in your future; in your future in Me. If you try to take the
past into your future, you will find no place for it there, My people. There is
no place in the chaos that is coming for your flesh.
Set
your minds on Me, and on the things of My kingdom. Set your sights on your
heavenly reward, for all that is now shall soon pass away. Life as you know it
will cease, but in My Kingdom, all things are made new.
You
have asked Me for many things, and you
have asked that I anoint you, yet you refuse to lay down the things I
ask of you.
(In the spirit I
saw the enemy handing us things to occupy us, much like a mother hands a small
child a cheap toy to keep them busy and distracted so they won't fuss, while
the Lord stands nearby, holding out to us a very genuine reward He wants to
give to us. I saw that this is a very wide-spread attack of the enemy, trying
to distract us from our walk with the Lord.)
You
are refusing to choose the things of Me when you cling to what is no longer
useful, and many of you will be passed over for promotion because of this. I
promote those who show themselves yielded vessels, ready for My use, obedient
to My commands. I do not promote the disobedient.
Some
of you have waited long for what is coming, yet have not made yourselves ready.
Why must I continually speak this to you, My children? Why do you not obey as
you know you should? Will you live lives of regret and not the rewards I have
for you?
Some
of you are obeying and you shall be given much for your much obedience. Those
who obey little shall be given little. Do not be deceived children, I do not
reward disobedience and sloppy living. I do not reward those who do not strive
to walk in My ways. I do not reward those who do not honor My Son with their
lives. You cannot serve two masters. Either you will serve your flesh, or you
will serve Me, but you will not serve both and receive rewards from Me.
If
you serve the enemy, then you receive his reward. If you serve Me - truly serve
Me - you receive Mine. You cannot serve Me only with your lips, you must
sacrifice the desires of your flesh, walk in My ways, be in My word, do My
will.
I
try the heart and the reins, I know all things. I know the true motives behind
your deeds and I shall judge you accordingly.
The
time to shake off the past is now, My children. Let go. Let go of the things of
the flesh that no longer serve a useful purpose in your spiritual lives. Let go
and come up higher with Me for I have great rewards for you when you do.
Do
not be deceived. You cannot serve the enemy and also serve Me, for He who is
not for me, is against Me.
Release
the past.
Trust
Me to meet your needs.
Luke 9:62: And
Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 17:31-33: In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in
the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field,
let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot's wife.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose
his life shall preserve it.
2 Cor. 5:17:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Tim. 2:20-22: But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of
silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to
dishonour. If a man therefore purge
himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for
the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also
youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that
call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Phil. 3:13-14:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus.
Jer. 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.
Deut. 11:16: Take heed to
yourselves, that your heart be not deceived,
and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Gal. 5:6: Let
no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the
wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Gal. 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Matt. 15:8: This people draweth
nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
