         My Ways Are Holiness And Love And Humility


I know the thoughts and the ways of man, that they are futile. But My
thoughts are not their thoughts, and My ways are not their ways. Just as 
the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than their 
ways, and My thoughts are higher than their thoughts.

My ways are holiness and love and humility. I am seeking out a people who
are holy as I am holy. I am the Lord of hosts and the whole earth is full 
of My glory. Therefore, I am calling My church to be a glorious and a holy
church, one without spot or wrinkle or blemish, or plans conceived by man 
so that My church can be a carrier of My glory throughout the whole earth.

This is a time of stirring up the hearts of My people as I am sending the
laborers into the harvest fields to tell the sinner to turn from his ways
and turn to Me while I still may be found. Let the sinner turn his thoughts
away from evil and turn to Me and receive My forgiveness for his sins.

My people whom I call shall speak of the way, the truth, and the life. My
called ones are to tell those that have an ear to hear to repent, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand. They shall declare that this is the day of
salvation and as each day passes the day of judgment draws nearer.

My church shall once again be seen as the standard for righteousness and
purity and honor and character. These are the days of separation from all
that I call unclean and the altars of sacrifice will be filled with the
bodies of My holy ones, offering themselves up to Me as their reasonable
service. I will consume them with a holy fire and purge them from all that
restrains them from fulfilling the call on their lives and to walk in purity
with dignity.

No longer will the stranger ask, 'where is love?' For My love has been shed
abroad in the hearts of My people. My love shall be seen in My people, as
they become imitators of Me and followers of My dear Son, Jesus. Tough love
shall decrease, as My people learn to love others as I have loved them. My
love is what My harvesters will sow into the hearts of the nations. For it
is My love and My goodness that will lead entire nations to repentance.

Humility will be a cross that many will bear until they walk down the many
paths that lead to the death of self. Then the season will come when they
will wear humility as a well-worn cloak. Humility shall be the mantle that
allows them to cross over the high waters; they shall strike the waters and
divide them to cross over to go where I send them. This is their destiny!"
