I'm looking for the Willing
To those who have heard Me call upon them to come unto Me:
The enemy has been busy trying to keep you an arms distance
away from receiving My embrace. My child, I love you! I've
given all I could give for you, more than anyone ever has or
ever will. Not only did I light the sky with the sun and moon
and stars for you, but I created the entire earth for you and
all those I've given into your life to love and love you in
return. I've given you the very air you breathe and then I
gave you the ultimate when I allowed My only Son to be offered
as a sacrifice for your sins. He was without sin, but you
weren't, so I sent Him to pay the ransom for you, so you could
come unto Me. I cry out for you now!
Put aside all of your fears and come unto Me. I'm not looking
for perfection, for only I am perfection. Just let Me in. Let
Me change your life. The past is the past, are you willing to
let Me give you hope for the future? My blessings await you.
Are you willing to receive them?
For those who have already come to Me:
Many of you have been unwilling to surrender all of you. Did
you not know that when I paid the ransom for you, I purchased
every stronghold that the devil had on you? You need not hold
on to the pain and anger of the past, for they are part of the
old man. The old is gone and it's time to bury him, for behold I
have created you anew. Let go of the pride and rebellion that
keeps you from truly entering into My presence, for it is in My
presence that My power is loosed in your life.
I will not force you to let these things go, for I have already
chosen you to become My bride and now you must choose to truly
accept or not. I am not looking for a bride who only loves Me
with half her heart but one who loves and trusts Me completely.
I am a worthy bridegroom, and I wish to lavish blessings upon My
bride. Are you willing to accept My proposal?
For those who try to serve Me in their own strength:
I was looking for those who were willing to walk away from
their natural lives and let Me live supernaturally through them.
Why then do you continue to try to make things happen of your
own accord? Do you not yet understand that apart from Me you
can do nothing? You need to be willing to trust Me to take you
to the next level.
I am truly a jealous God, and I will not share the glory with
anyone. You've already said yes to My call, continue then to
say yes to My direction. Be willing to lay aside your agenda
for Mine. Be still and hear My voice. Be still and quiet
for I will direct you with a whisper and if you're preoccupied
you will not hear My voice. Are you willing to come back to your
First Love?
