Dear Saints, so many of us (myself included) are deceived about our walk with the Lord, with many of us even walking in darkness without even knowing it. Please, please prayerfully read the following words of correction and encouragement from the Lord given through Pastor Mark.
1 Corinthians 12
The Lord says: “the time for My people to SEEK Me as never before has COME, for the time for My people to DO great EXPLOITS has arrived. I need My people to SEE the time there are NOW in & to ACCLIMATE with Me, as I desire. For I have set forth SPIRITUAL gifts within My church to DEMONSTRATE My GLORY to this world. I have SET these things in ORDER, so My people can RISE UP into Me & become THAT demonstration…it is time for My people to SEEK Me as never before! I tell you this BECAUSE I love you with an everlasting love & it is VITAL that you take your PLACES in this hour. I need My people to DO the things that I have CALLED them to do.
I did not call you to BE part of a Religious “membership”, which many that say they are Mine SEEM to think that BEING a Christian means they are part of a “club” with Membership “benefits”. This IS the mindset that MANY hold today! For I tell you that many have been DECEIVED into thinking that THIS is the way My church is SUPPOSED to be, but I tell you now, that this is DECEPTION! How can My people say they are Mine, yet they do NOT do what I say to do? How can My church sit there day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year & do NOTHING! I tell you this because so MANY have lost their FIRST love.
I tell you this because I see the whole of creation groaning for the MANIFESTATION of the Sons of God, yet so FEW have RISEN up into THAT manifestation! Many merely speak OF this reality, but hardly or rarely do ANYTHING that this manifestation REALLY is. I need My people to SEE the importance of DOING this in this hour. I need My people to RECOGNIZE their part in what I have ORDAINED. For so many just live THEIR lives thinking that they are IN a “spiritual club”, demanding the “benefits of membership”. Yet so few ever pay the price by SURRENDERING their lives UNTO Me, as I desire.
So many BELIEVE that their lives are what they ARE supposed to be, yet I do not see things THIS way. I do not SEE My people RISING UP in My Kingdom…I see My people RISING up into their OWN self-made kingdoms, doing only the things that THEY deem for them to do. I am still waiting for the great majority of My people to start to BE the church that they claim to be! I am still waiting for My people to SHOW the world that I am IN you of a TRUTH! For as I look, I still only SEE complacency & compromise in My people. When will THIS end, I ask? When will My people truly HEAR My voice & DO as I say?
I say this because so many THINK they ARE doing My will, yet I see no REAL fruit in what they do! I do not SEE My people REACHING OUT to the lost & the needy! I do not SEE My people SEEKING to SAVE that which lost! I do not see My people DOING much of anything EXCEPT for the things that THEY decide to do. This may SEEM harsh to you, but I say this with tears & grieving! For I have CALLED OUT My people from THIS world to do My exploits & to BE a help in this world, but not MANY think of this! Most only think of THEMSELVES & what THEY need. In their lives, they are “separate”, but not fully in the way that I want!
Many have separated themselves from the things of this world, yet in THIS separation they do not allow Me to use THEM in that separation. That separation has become a life that THEY live for themselves…not living the life that I desire them to live, which is to GO OUT INTO THE WORLD & PREACH the GOSPEL to EVERY CREATURE. So many ask Me to give THEM spiritual gifts, yet many of these see nothing MANIFEST because IN their hearts, they have not yielded unto Me as I need them to BE. I am not going to give My people gifts of power & glory when they have NOT shown me ANY fruit with what they ALREADY have.
My gifts are for a PURPOSE…to REACH out & TOUCH the world with My love…NOT to sit on them & squander them, as so many have done with THEIR lives. I tell you this now…I look at the MULTITUDES of those who SAY they are Mine & I tell you that the GREAT portion have next to NOTHING to show for their lives, as I am seeking. Throughout all their years, they have led NO ONE to a saving knowledge of MY Son. They are just I have said in My word…they have taken the talent that I have GIVEN them & BURIED it in the ground, which is THEIR own lives & then expect Me to give them My gifts to do JUST the same thing! I challenge My people in THIS hour to SHOW Me what is IN their hearts!
I challenge My people to SHOW the WORLD what I have DONE in them. For truly IF I have done something within you, why are you NOT shouting it from the rooftops & bringing many into My fold? I need My people to see the TRUTH that exists IN their hearts & lives. I need My people to truly BECOME My people. No more living THEIR lives to please SELF. It is time for My people to SHOW the world who I TRULY AM. Are you REALLY My people, or are you just PRETENDING, thinking that you can live in a “membership”, expecting “benefits”?
I tell you that there are MANY who keep asking Me for answers, breakthroughs & for changes in their lives, yet in almost all of these, there is NOT a real motive towards Me. I need My people to SEE things as they REALLY are. You CANNOT live the way you have & expect things to change. I need My people to see THIS as truth, so you can KNOW the truth & be set FREE. But to do this it will take a REAL heart-rending within many, as I REQUIRE a response at this hour. I need My people to truly get RIGHT with Me so I CAN use them in this hour. Come to Me with a TRUE heart & SEEK for Me to do a GREAT work IN you & you will not be disappointed, says the Lord!”
1 Corinthians 13
The Lord says: “I come to My people in this hour to SHOW them who they REALLY are & what is truly WITHIN them. For IF My people will HONESTLY compare My words in 1 Corinthians 13 to what is MANIFEST in their lives, they will SEE that what I have said does not MEASURE up to what is IN them. Yes, there are times that My people DO walk in these things, but I tell you now that THIS is not as I desire, for I said that these things are to BE part of you CONTINUALLY…not just when YOU decide to walk in them. For truly, IF My love dwells WITHIN you as you “say”, you WILL walk IN My love, in ALL your ways, at ALL times! And therein lies the problem…My people walk in THEIR ways, not MINE.
For surely as you will TRULY surrender your hearts & lives UNTO Me, I will do a WORK within you to CONFORM you into the IMAGE of My Son. So many say that they HAVE already done this, yet I tell you now…LOOK at how you respond unto others when in YOUR heart you get frustrated or upset! Look at the response that comes from WITHIN you! Do you respond OUT OF My Spirit of love, or do you react OUT OF the flesh? I ask you this because it is important & needful that you SEE the truth of the way things ARE, so you can come into alignment with My will & My ways.
For I told you that I AM the way, the truth & the life…no one can come unto Me, except thru Me. Yet, so many continue living their own SELF-life thinking they have truly come to Me when in truth, they have only come to Me in the ways that THEY have chosen. I tell you this so you can SEE the way things truly are. I AM looking for a people who have FULLY surrendered unto Me…not those who only offer Me the things THEY desire or when THEY desire to do this! It is VITAL that My people TRULY become My people…NOT a people that are complacent & compromised in this hour!
How long will it be until My people will truly HEAR the words I say & humble themselves before Me? I am waiting for a true response from My people from THEIR hearts! For the time for My people playing their little religious games has ENDED…it is time to NOW mean business with Me! So many think that they have already done this, but as you will BE honest & look WITHIN your hearts you will SEE that there is still a lot of work needing to be done WITHIN you. For even those who believe they HAVE been liberated & are fully in Me, to a great measure STILL fall short of My desire…they STILL only see things as THEY desire…not as I desire them to see.
For even in those who have left the corrupt religious system that EXISTS in the world today, which people call “the church”, even in these there are those who have not understood the importance of holding fast to My words as I have written them. For truly in My written word I have set up the government of My church, as you SAW last week in 1 Corinthians 12, yet, still today so many have SOMEHOW cast those words aside, thinking they are no longer needed. But My words are STILL as active & powerful today, as I have spoken them, for the govt that I have setup continues & as I RAISE UP My humbled leaders in this hour I will SHOW the world the TRUTH that is in Me.
I need ALL of My people to understand that they are CONTINUALLY being molded & shaped & being conformed to the image of My Son. This IS a process that continues forward in time & continues UNTIL My people come home to Me. I need My people to understand that whatever maturity THEY have achieved is only a PART of what I will do IN them. This maturity is NOT the final step in My developing WITHIN them…it is only one STEP along the way. I need My people to see that there has come a MINDSET within many that has developed and causes many to think that they have no need of My written words, as I have told them.
Somehow they THINK that they have “arrived” & are SO mature that they do not have responsibility or accountability to anyone when My word says just the opposite! I need My people to see that this is PRIDE…a very dangerous pride! Just because a person has MATURED in an area of their lives doesn’t mean that there is not OTHER areas that STILL need attention for change. My people need to see the IMPORTANCE of what I AM doing in this hour, for there IS a growing number of people who have left the corporate church, as I have shown them the ERRORS there.
This was a GOOD thing, but in the process, many of these same people have FALLEN into the snare of the evil one, because they have SHUT OUT much of My written word in the process. I do not want My people subject to the corrupt religious system, so I have called them OUT & those who HAVE heard My voice have left that corrupt religious system. Yet, MANY of these now think that they do not need to BE a part of My corporate church, as I have ordained it & somehow they can just continue as “lone rangers”, not knowing the dangers & problems they are CREATING both within them & unto others!
For I have a TRUE church that exists in this hour & My people need to be SEEKING to be part of what I AM doing…not doing their OWN things! It is time for the church of the Living God to COME together again & to do the exploits that I ordained for them to do. I need My people to CAST OFF the works of darkness & enter into what I am doing this day. Yes, you heard that right…those who have rejected the truth of My true church government have FALLEN into works of darkness because they are only walking in the light that THEY have chosen to walk IN. I need My people to OPEN their eyes & SEE things as they really are!
It is time for My people to RISE UP & BE My people! A big REASON why My people are so MINIMIZED in this hour is BECAUSE so many have fallen into THIS anti-church mindset, not REALIZING that I DO have a godly church govt that EXISTS today. I have called many OUT OF the corrupt religious system & THESE have fallen to Me IN humility& contriteness & I have molded & shaped them over time for My use. Come to Me, My people & allow Me to SHOW you the way things really are! For I have plans to use My church MIGHTILY in this hour, but those who refuse to hear My words & continue in their SELF obedience of rejecting My words as I share them this day, will come to find that this is EXACTLY WHY they are NOT doing the great “work” that I desire to DO with them.
Because I MUST do the work WITHIN them before I can do the work THRU them. Allow Me to show you the truth that EXISTS within your hearts & you will SEE that there is a LOT that the enemy STILL has his hands on WITHIN you that NEEDS attention. For as My people will allow Me to open up their understanding to THIS & many OTHER things, My people will SHINE as lights in a dark place & the world will SEE the truth of Me WITHIN them. THEN My exploits WILL explode FROM WITHIN My people & GREAT revival will come forth! For the revival will have BEGUN where it is needed MOST…WITHIN My people. Hear My words this day & do NOT shrink back INTO your OWN thoughts & reasoning…for THESE will only REMOVE you further from My will for this hour.
I love you ALL with an everlasting love & IT IS vital that My people RESPOND unto Me righteously in this hour & allow Me to do a work WITHIN them that will CHANGE the world as it is today, into the world that I desire it to BE. Remember…you ARE the light of the world. The world can ONLY walk in the light that you, My people GIVE to it. Look at the world & you WILL see what truth REALLY exists WITHIN My people. My people have a great NEED for change, yet so many REFUSE to see that there is ANY need for change within them. Allow Me to open YOUR hearts to see the TRUTH as it REALLY is & you will not be disappointed, says the Lord!”
Wow! Dear Saints, these are such convicting words, especially to me because I am one of those who have obeyed God and come out of the religious church system. I pray that you take them to heart and go before the Lord with a contrite and humble heart, and ask Him to reveal the areas of your heart and life that needs change.
Much love and blessings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Your Brother in Christ,
Kevin B.
