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.
