A TOTAL HEART CLEANSING
Come before Me, My children, with fastings and with prayer for I am your
God, and I desire you to walk in true humility and repentance. For this is
the time and the hour where I will pour out My power upon you, but you must be
ready. You must be a pure vessel to carry My glory and My
power. Too many in this hour have become deceived in thinking that what
they are doing is purely of Me and it is not. Too many have taken my Words
in vain and twisted them to their own justification of what they are
doing. Come before Me with an open and teachable heart, and I will show
you the error of your ways in justifying your own works. I am calling you
to true humility, My people. I am calling you to true repentance.
If you are willing, I will pour out upon you my gifts that will enable you
to walk in My perfect will. I will enable you to stand up bold. You do
not need to fear man or any other created thing because I gave you authority
over all the power of the enemy. You do not need to hide your convictions
any longer. If I am for you, who can be against you. You do not need to
compromise your faith. Walk with Me uprightly not hiding your light in any
area but just shine My love and grace upon others. Do not hold back in
any area that I am calling you to walk in. Just step out boldly in faith
and I will meet your every need. Be My people and I will be your God.
What is the true motivation of your walk with Me. Are the things you
are doing from a pure heart of adoration of Me or are they from a heart of
competing with one another out of jealousy. This is a time to truly
examine your heart. Are you making a name and a fame for yourself or are
you lifting up My name? You need to truly examine your heart and be honest
even with yourself. What is motivating most of your actions in
ministry. Is it love or pride? What is keeping you from receiving
all that I have for you? For My hands are tied when there is willful sin
present in your life. Do not suppress that which isn't of Me any
longer. Let the truth of your actions rise to the surface so that I can
skim it off that you may be clean through and through.
You are My people and I understand what you are going through. I have been
tempted to sin in every area but I had victory over it all that I may come
through victorious for you that you may overcome. Pridefulness and
deception comes in many different forms for the enemy is so subtle trying to
trip you up in it. There may be deceitfulness in your own heart and not
even know it. Who knows the heart of man, unless I reveal it to you?
That is why I say be open and teachable and I will show you the error of your
ways that you may be humble and broken before Me. Like the alabaster box,
unless it is broken open, the fragrance of the perfume cannot come forth.
So I encourage you, My children, if you want to be used in a great way in
My end time army, humble yourself before Me that I may clean your heart.
Cry out for the baptism of brokenness that I may freely flow through you.
This is the time and the hour that I will pour out My power. But only on
those who are ready. Open up that I may show you the error of your ways
and show you that of your heart that isn't of Me for I am ready to do a total
heart cleansing of those you are willing. Dying brings forth life.
Brokenness brings forth freedom in Me.
