Fractured Stones
-----
As you have gone through the fires of My testing, you have found
yourself
riddled with fractures and fissures of self doubt and have become
discouraged in this process, but, I say be encouraged, for in this
discipline, I am building you, and I have a purpose beyond your
understanding at this point to comprehend....
Trust Me in My judgments,
do
not fear My judgments...
for as you find yourself full of these fractures,
whether they be from presumption or selfish ambitions, pride, fear,
unbelief, whatever they may turn out to be, I would say to you child, cast
yourself upon the Rock, and find yourself broken in Me, allow Me to judge
these areas of your heart, that you may find hope, for hope does not spring
forth in your own adequacy, but it springs forth when you finally realize
your INADEQUACY, and fall broken upon My mercy....so I say again, fall
upon
The Rock, and allow Me to judge your fractured soul, that I any wash you
with the Water that flows from The Rock, which is My Word....
allow My word to wash over you, flushing away the debris in you that is
useless for My Kingdom...
do not be discouraged, for when you find this place, you will
find rest. This is the process by which you will find that I am taking your
heart of stone, and giving you a heart of flesh in return, it will bring life,
and you will rejoice as you find your sufficiency in Me...
I have brought you to this place of brokenness not for your destruction, but for the
restoration of My Glory, and My Honor in My people...
just as the Temple was rebuilt through Nehemiah, so will I do a quick work in you...
yield to My touch, as I cause you to fall upon The Rock...
do not fear, but be encouraged as this is going to bring forth
My Glory in you, My Church, My Bride. Do not fear
the darkness, for I even clothe Myself with such, so know that I am near,
even in the darkness of the night of your soul...
open yourself up to My
judgments, and allow My waters to flow over, in and through you to wash
you
and to restore all that is in My heart for you.
