It has always been about relationship and not mass
production of numbers or quantities of information
on a piece of paper to prove how spiritual you are
or what you've done for Me. From the time of
Adam and Eve on down to the time of Christ it was
about God appearing to a man, to a woman, in a one
on one relationship with them.
Adam
and Eve, Moses, Noah, Enoch, David, Samuel - men
and women who would commune with Me from their
heart - they didn't have a formal relationship
through a church or through a structure.
They had a living one on one relationship with Me
everyday and it was out of that relationship that
they lived and moved and had their being and
ministered.
And
when the Lord Jesus came to give his life a ransom
for many, he came to open up access to the Father
that you could have the type of relationship that
Adam and Eve had even before the Fall, that you
could become "now beloved are we the sons and
daughters of God."
But
the enemy has stepped in and he has substituted
church attendance, substituted bible study,
substituted quoting scripture - the devil himself
can quote scripture. He has substituted all
manners of religious activity and service for a
personal one on one relationship with Me.
I'm bringing you back to the founding key of a
relationship and that is quieting yourself down
and spending time with your Heavenly Father, and
it it out of this that you will minister, out of
this that you will flow, out of this that you will
live and move and have your being.
Jesus
said, I do nothing - N, O, T, H, I, N, G - except
my Father in Heaven shows Me. He was not
responsible to do a single thing that he was not
shown. He didn't come to reform the nations,
to reform the government, to reform the churches.
He came to simply do the will of his Heavenly
Father, which was to die on a Cross and to give
his life a ransom for many that could open up the
gates of Heaven - the relationship to the Father.
I
have a specific calling and ministry for your life
and for other lives and you will never find it
outside of a one on one with Me. So, your
relationship with Me everyday is the most
important thing on this planet. And I'm
calling you do draw aside and to intensify that
relationship with Me and as you do I'm going to
speak to you, and whisper to you, and show you
things.
And
I'm going to change the whole way you view
Christianity and the whole way you view ministry
and the whole way you view what you're called to
do. It's going to change you, saith the
Lord; it's going to change you.
And so yes, make it a habit to commune with Me
everyday of your life whether you are down at a
church or whether you're home. Shut
everything off, turn everything aside and come and
kneel before Me, and not just for five or ten
minutes while you run to think about the laundry
or what you have to do the next day. Come and
spend quality time with Me and I will turn your
life upside down in ways you've never dreamed, but
it's all going to come out of that relationship
with Me.
I
will change the way you view things; I will change
the way you do things; I will change the way you
dress; I will change the way you talk; I will
change it all, saith God, so you can be my hand
extended to this world, but not in frustration and
not in craziness. You are going to have
peace like a river and people are going to be
drawn to you because of the peace of God they
sense on you.
I'm
going to show you how to walk with Me like Abraham
did. I'm going to show you how to be at
peace about things. I'm going to bring you to a
rest in Me that is going to be absolutely
delicious. You're not going to worry about things;
you're not going to fret about things. You're
going to be at peace when you have the perfect
will of your Father in Heaven.
I can open up the Garden to you, and it is not
opened to everyone. It's opened to those who
love the Father and who are willing to obey the
Father. And when you enter the Garden of God
you will be taken care of. There will be
peace; there will be provision; there will be
relationship because the Lord Jesus has taken the
enemy out of the picture and defeated him.
Be
restored to your relationship with Me as it was
with Adam and Eve. They didn't have to minister to
please Me. They didn't have to bring in eighteen
thousand souls a day to please Me. They didn't
have to perform and prophesy and heal people and
do all of these things to please Me. They're my
children; I am pleased with them. All I
wanted to do was to talk to them, and walk with
them, and be friends with them, and share my love
with them.
And
that is what I would like to bring you into - to
enter in behind the veil, to pierce the heart of
your Heavenly Father, so I can move to put my arms
around you and show my love. Come be at
peace and be at rest. Come enter into the
heart of your God and he will indeed keep you safe
and comfort you with his wings and pour knowledge
and training and expertise into you.
As
you commune with Me, you need not fear for the
future. You will be my delight, my joy, my
children and I will provide for you.
